I had a conversation with someone the other day who made many of the same arguments as you. I agreed with some of it--namely that around safe injection, harm reduction, methadone (et al) clinics, etc.--but I had a hard time stomaching the i

But not for the vast majority of people working there. Most folks are running infrastructure and building products completely unrelated to their *news offerings. And I think a big chunk of this discussion is just folks sitting on internal b

You'd have to explain more, given that he listed Spain, Portugal, France, the Netherlands, Greece, and others have listed more below. All of them true Scotsman where topless is totally a fair thing to see on any beach. Hell, I had a Fr

Fortunately, CenturyLink explicitly exempts their gigabit service from the cap. Hoping that never changes, but it's a good step.

Unfortunately, there's still a time lag for this to take effect. I recently moved across town from somewhere where Comcast was my only option (and I had gigabit) to a neighborhood where I had the option between Comcast gigabit and anot

> all they'll need to do is simply... show the UAC prompt. Yeah, this is a good point. Not sure how many folks here play a lot of Steam games, but a ton of them install their own specific VC++ runtime redists (sometimes multiple) at

I believe you're absolutely right in general, but it also helps that GitHub has explicitly allowed their logo's usage for that scenario for a while: https://github.com/logos

I've been playing around with a similar concept for the last year or so, with contexts like "On the go", "Have / Do not have internet connection", "Access to work intranet", etc., and whether a phone

The way I read his comment, the music "invokes" the violence via live shows. If you've ever been to a punk show, there's a lot of violence going on in the audience/pit. I don't think it's a crazy leap to s

X was my one of my dad's favorites growing up in LA, and I got to see them a couple years ago at The Fillmore with him and my brothers. Was a very good time, glad they're still out touring here and there.

It's semantics, but they're important when you're talking about economics. You're describing inelasticity of demand, which is to say that I need the good irrespective of the price (and it may mean irrespective of the geo

Since a while. I'm definitively not a right-winger, but I increasingly have to align myself with folks whose speech I hate in order to defend free speech against folks I agree with on issues. Too many on the left are gleeful at the tho

Really replying to @tlb here (reply depth is maxed), but what's the Time Machine equivalent for ? Most of the pre-rolled backup solutions I've used either have you point to a specific set of content folders (like Photos, Music, Vi

Extremely moving piece about a very eloquent woman, not ashamed to admit that I had teared up by the end. It really makes you realize what's at stake in politics, whether it's in China, the US, or anywhere else. This is a country

The latest features I see in Windows Update seem to give the user total control. Am I mistaken? Maybe it's because I'm running a more expensive SKU? I can defer updates for 7 days, get extra notifications for reboots further in ad

Contrary to what others said, it will likely fall out of favor the way the floppy icon faded for "Save" functionality in GUIs. It's everywhere until one day you realize you can't find it in any of the apps you use every

It's hard when you have lots of folks jumping into a code review, and you don't want to duplicate effort or you want to rapidly iterate on your code. You know those email chains that just continue to fork? Where people reply to th

Yeah, I'd argue that's the problem: the law's definition of anti-competitive doesn't actually address whether or not consumers were harmed.

I 100% agree with you. I should be able to run any code on my device (after I flip a bit and it gets wiped). The first thing I've done with every Nexus or Pixel purpose is to wipe and root it. But that's not what this is about. Ap

No, they still needed to revoke the cert because the app was still hanging out on users' devices. The only way to ensure that those apps are dead, from Apple's perspective, is to revoke the cert

So make iPhones like Pixels. If I want to root the device, make it simple, make it factory wipe the device, and flip a bit that opts me out of software support. (I know Google doesn't do this last one, but I'm not opposed, I know
