Are we talking about Technology or Politics? As far as technology goes, it's not actually far from a 'highly-developed' country, right? Gigabit in some places (and growing), really decent broadband in others. Free wifi is u

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I disagree either way. I like the presentation and didn't find it 100x slower or harder to use. It took me 4 clicks instead of a hand contortion for a keyboard shortcut and then 10-20 keypresse

I don't think this is accurate, the 2015 MBP I am using now has a physical click (pad has vertical travel).

Does attacking the assumed physique of a commenter really add anything useful to the discussion?

When I'm walking my fields repairing my fences I absolutely wish my fencing tools were lighter, even if I'm using my truck or other vehicle to carry my tools. I don't think they'd belly laugh at someone who preferred mor

Employers providing healthcare is a part of the compensation package though, right? Couldn't people buy insurance by themselves if they wanted?

I am colorblind. A rely on consistency a lot when I am out and about. This sort of thing feels really deceptive. Aren't there other signs, signals or actual three-dimensional tools that can be used to slow traffic (speed bumps) that

Every time this debate comes up I can't help but wonder if we are letting the office of the president have too much power. To over-simplify a bit: the president should be executing the will of Congress, right?

Would a face be considered private in countries/cultures where women cover their face most of the time, or particularly in public? This is an honest question, I really do not know what I think.

I think it's awesome that you publish a whitepaper, but it's just a whitepaper, not source. It doesn't prove anything. Edit: also there seems to be a lot of this: > We’re sorry. This section of this document is not yet re

I have been experiencing a lot of what you are mentioning for years at the place I current work. The problem is that any code review feedback can be provided under the guise of 'quality' - once that Q-word gets into the discussion

To throw a data point out there - I'm from the USA and I value family more than anything. That being said, money is a tool that lets me spend more time with my family. I don't care about the currency itself, but I work hard and sa

Another anecdotal data point: I've been remote for about a decade and I've never expected to be on a call (visual or otherwise) outside business hours for my timezone (9-5). I work with folks in SF, London, Tel Aviv, Bangalaru.

So as a competitor to Google with $1000 in my pocket, Google could domain-snipe me out of existence, legally, for $1001 dollars?

by lolsal 8y ago
That seems totally bonkers for the case of an entity like Google or Apple. Would they really list their domains worth $1,000,000,000,000 dollars? and pay some percent of that a year?

That's really surprising to me - my favorite college football team regularly sells out their 100k seat stadium during the regular season. Seems like the superbowl is leaving a lot of money on the table.

You are seriously underestimating the amount of money involved, and what it means to the folks that do it. My neighbor recycles trash bags full of cans at a time and nets 20-40 bucks a bag. He does this a couple of times a month. For very l

The Windows 95 era Windows logo is a great example of your counterpoint. I couldn't draw it by hand, but most people would recognize it instantly. It was colorful, but it degraded on faxed/noisy/low-resolution media well.
