I remember it, but I also remember Twitter's contribution to it be largely overblown PR.

Am I the only who still see Twitter as useless and trivial? Facebook has some undeniable values inside it's veneer of nonsense, such as out-of-state-Grandma getting to see the grandkids grow rather than waiting for holidays/care p

You can contact the Department of Labor ( http://www.labor.ca.gov/ ), but I seriously doubt what they did has any legal consequence. I don't know about CA specifically, but Departments of Labor usually LOVE aggressively

It's an iTunes link, if you don't have iTunes installed it doesn't really work.

It may be easier to let iTunes install it. That's how I deal with it.

Honestly, it sounds to me like there is a rather complex political environment there that you are clueless about. You might be a pawn in a war between your CEO and your boss. You might actually be working for terrible or incompetent people.

But IS investigative reporting "news"? Traditionally they've been bundled together, and there is undoubtedly overlap (depending on the piece), but at their core they could be considered quite different.

I feel like you could write this about basically any profession, besides the usual "teachers are underpaid" rant.

I think if banks started doing it, the Fed could regulate the banks with respect to bitcoin. I don't believe it would magically apply to anyone else, though. Admittedly I don't follow finance, though.

Some people may think "Fed" means "US Government", but it's explicitly stated in the article that “The Federal Reserve simply does not have authority to supervise or regulate bitcoin in any way.” It's just juri

A free market for companies that need to tear up every road in your town to lay their own cable is impossible (to say nothing of apartment and office buildings). Internet pricing and business has nothing to do with a free market, and likely

I use Webfaction, but it's not for everyone (and I get no real traffic). You get the pricing of shared hosting, but you get SSH access to install stuff in. Combined with the GUI for setting up common apps (Django, etc.), it's pret

I would strongly recommend having your GMail password be different than all of your other passwords, plus with 2-factor authentication. Getting access to your GMail means that someone could easily get access to any service you use that acco

Apple DOES have more specific model names for their computers, they just aren't advertised with them. Otherwise, I thought all the different flavors of products were to make "price match guarantees" impossible to actually use

I eat lunch in my dining room with my family (remote work is the best!) In my previous job, I would eat lunch out whenever I was in the main office. Otherwise, the owner would decide it was just the PERFECT time for a meeting... In my satel

Okay, so they charge to attend a conference. Maybe the money isn't worth it. I don't see any mention of people having actually gone there, nor if the conference is actually a good thing. Not recognizing the VCs from an east coast

Very interesting. I'm just sad they dropped Linux support in the process, just before Linux gaming is taking off.

LibreOffice. I can download it and install it faster than Microsoft Office, even if the Office disc is in the drive. (I use Office stuff rarely enough where that actually matters.) Plus, LibreOffice is kind of the only option on Linux. I do

I don't see a moral objection to building your own versions of patented products for your own use, either, though. Putting aside stuff that shouldn't be patented: 1) Selling a product with someone else's patent seems like som
