But why should I put time into phone calls and the like? Most friends ask me to do things, which waste my time, and they don't do much in return and often won't do useful things when I ask them to. The optimal number of friends wh

Disappointing they are still going to use Arc even with the update to modern HTML. I despise how with Arc if I leave the page open during the day and try to click a link later the link has expired. They should really update to a modern web

I don't think anyone cares since it is just one of several copies and everyone knows what it says, except for maybe a transcription error or two by the scribe.

Samsung is destroying everyone in terms of market share. However companies like LG and HTC tend to intentionally just make the high price point phones where there is a lot more profit margin.

With the rats in the same study, the body weight difference was only 6%, while the different amount of white fat tissue in the belly was 22%. So it is pretty clear the body is changing composition (more muscular, less fatty). BMI is worthle

You should charge as much as you can charge while still getting work. For fully remote work as a programmer, honestly, it tends to top out at $45/hour for experienced people. If you aren't experienced yet, you can't charge as

I've seen some ministries report a 50% success rate re curing addiction for people who join. So social recovery forms of drug treatment are very successful and might include things like exorcism and whatnot as part of belonging to the

Honestly, SQLite has a lot of utilities, tutorials, useful adapters and UI hooks in Android. Core Data similarly on iOS. If you want me to go to your framework instead, you'd have to provide something better than just redoing the API.

Most drug dealers or johns I see just buy a prepaid phone from Walgreens, i.e. a booty phone. Tracfone doesn't verify whatever you activate with, you can just make up whatever name/address.

Government has forced the issue before. I think BlackBerry, for example, had to allow Middle East governments access to their secure messages previously.

It's pretty inarguable that, if an asteroid or other disaster strikes Earth, a human population on Mars would survive, however. You wouldn't try to run an important web site that had to stay up with one server, it is silly to expe

PayPal protections are usually considered a disaster for everyone involved. Sellers and companies are constantly getting their accounts frozen, buyers are constantly getting shipped bottles of shampoo instead of camera equipment, priceless

Amazon has their own payments solution. I've actually seen it replacing PayPal several places, like buying WiFi on flights.

Usually this would be banned because it acts as a Twitter client and doesn't show the ads. In this case you have to sign up for your own app ID, though, so it will just be banned piece by piece as the Twitter API enforcement bots catch

C# got rid of type erasure and is better for it. Java really needs to bite the bullet and do the same. It is just a compatibility hack anyway.

That would be nice. But didn't Europe try to force Apple to use standard chargers and they just ignored that too? I don't think Apple cares very much. For the charger issue they made some sort of crappy adapter no one will use. So

There are plenty of cases where Google puts their product right under your search, then the results. So they are effectively taking the first search rank for themselves. You can call it whatever you want, but putting your item right above t

Those people are usually managing a lot of money, though. Warren Buffet has said he has to trade completely differently nowadays due to size. So those people are not working the same opportunities most people here are going for.

Yeah, prize disbursements were handled terribly. My team won BitPay's prize at AngelHack SF, contacted them repeatedly, and were told to wait until all AngelHacks were over before anything would be done. Months and months later it arri

I know in Berkeley the reservoirs are all covered over. So if anything, moving water down to here probably prevents loss. If you read the article, a lot of water is kept near the source as well, like Hell Hole reservoir, and only let out pr
