That'd be nice if I could actually buy their subscription. In the mean time... I'm well within my moral and legal rights to filter what content actually plays on my computer.

I recently flew on Air Canada and Polish LOT, and they both had functioning screens and movies... maybe it's just your airline or region?

For everyone here who seems to be working with websockets, how do you deal with the potential that a browser goes offline and misses messages? How do you reconcile changed offline state with more recent events on the server? An OT library?

Because some companies make it very difficult to cancel out of a contract, like sitting for hours on the phone to speak to a retention specialist who accidentally hangs up the phone. A lot easier to just stop the payments and stop using the

Ok so when will you be zipping up all your personal data and uploading it for me to examine? And please also post your passwords to Facebook and bank accounts. On a more serious note, are you potentially related to anybody Muslim or Jewish?

It's not a crime. Stop calling it that. Copyright infringement is a civil offence. You get sued by a movie studio for money, not prosecuted by the state and imprisoned. But the industry is working to change that...

What is a reasonable higher than average salary completely depends on the market. But you really, really need to step out of the tech bubble before thinking about wages... tech people are reeeally out of touch when it comes to what money th

Well, there are nicer ways to say it... but still. "I'm Canadian, I live here, I haven't decided yet." I'm kind of surprised that this was even a question for a Canadian citizen.

I have the complete opposite experience with both. I live in Montreal. On LinkedIn, recruiters are spamming me weekly, so when I was looking for a job I just picked the one with the most human sounding message. I had the first job offer one

The idea that success is based on effort is fundamentally... wrong. For every famous singer, there are thousands of other people putting in years of effort who cannot even earn a salary. For every Facebook, there are thousands of other prod

Why? You could just provide an scaling rebate based on income and average spending. Or a flat rebate for anyone under an income threshold.

I've been an android user forever and my frustrations with the latest Android version has finally pushed me to try an iPhone. It's amazing. Especially Apple Pay. I could never get my Android to work with mobile payments for any of

I know a company that got hit by this. Through some mistake in configuration, they exposed their mongodb. What I understand is that the ransom request is a total scam, they didn't download or encrypt any data, just ran the drop command

I don't know what Firefox you're using but I always find it very slow and sluggish compared to Chrome. Especially Google maps and YouTube. I always have to switch over to Chrome to use these sites because they always bring FF to i

Type classes in Haskell are similarly awesome and where Rust's traits originate from. It's way more flexible and expressive than OO interfaces.
