You've got 650 marginal elections where people can only pick one party - and not a coalition through prioritized votes. Compare this to the US where each congressional election is usually between two or three candidates/parties. T

It kinda sucks when you rely on continuous integration, though.

I've generally come to associate Amazon shipments with dinged packages, so I'd for one look forward to the circus that'll ensue from this.

A tiny, lightning fast jQuery-like library for modern browsers. Respectfully, this entire description is an oxymoron. Every time someone mentions a jQuery-like microlibrary, they just mean a jQuery without wide browser(-quirk) sup

If I just want to clean up some basic code in a .html file with a terminal script - preferably with a "--watch" flag, what's the simplest way of accomplishing that? Also seems like the best way to ease into it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were because of the B&M companies. British videogame retailers still wield a big influence over British and to some extent European release windows.

The hyper-regionalization is an odd construction; makes you wonder just how much there is to save by printing a bunch of different (sub-)region versions compared to just bundling most on one “English” printing. Especially in the age of Amaz

A lot of Region 2 DVDs don't even have English subtitles. It's the dumbest thing.

Don't know how it is in English-speaking countries, but Netflix's laughable subtitle translations are as common a conversation topic as the weather and sports where I live. I have no idea why they don't bother stepping it up.

I think semantics are important here, especially in a technical context. There are several way to "unpublish" an article: - Retract it - Delete it - Completely erase it from the web What BuzzFeed did in at least two cases was dele

Yeah, my MacBook Air's battery is dying, and instead of getting a new battery, I have to hand it to a certified shop and fork over $300. It just seems dumb to me not to be cognizant of the fact that batteries tend to kick it after 3-5

Possibly, but it's also an opportunity to flex their social graph and entice other services to use it. I think that's more in their interest than buying Tinder outright.

$10 is Netflix money. I can't really make sense of it in proportion to lack of premium content. Especially since YouTube have been awful at stringing together a smart way to build a station/feed to watch people regularly. $5 would

I'm partial to Bhuyian's article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/johanabhuiyan/lots-of-ubers . Dunno whether BuzzFeed is still blacklisted by pg, so haven't bothered submitting anything in ages.

I think the intent of Markdown is more the plain syntax and non-programmer look of it than the readability. Headers, tables, headers, blockquotes, code blocks, links, and footnotes can make text hard to read. Especially link syntax can hurt
