I live in Portland. I don’t live downtown where most of the videos you see are coming from, but I do live in a neighborhood very close to downtown. Over the past few months there have been a bunch of smashed windows (and presumably theft) a

I live in Portland. While I’m somewhat proud that my city is leading the way in protecting individuals privacy, it’s also hard given current events not to be a bit cynical about the actual intent of this legislation. There are people that a

What your saying is just not true. I'm as certain as a third party can be that neither of them want Trump to be president. They follow where the media goes and take exception to the way much of the media bends the truth when they repor

I've listened to every episode of No Agenda since maybe 2008 or so. Yes, I am a fan, so biased, but I see no real evidence of him fitting any definition of alt-right, but again, since you haven't actually defined what you mean by

Then why don't you actually state what it is about Adam Curry that makes him alt-right in your mind. You have not done that yet.

Well they could certainly seed their initial data by scraping Apple's directory, like most of the podcast player apps do. As for not having mind share, that's not necessarily a reason to just throw in the towel. Lot's of prob

What in your opinion does alt-right mean? I’d have a real hard time trying to apply my understanding of that term to Adam Curry.

That's so disturbing. I can't imagine going through a phone call with "tech support" trying to figure out how to send bitcoins knowing the whole time that the support person is the one who is extorting ransom from you. I

Not really sure why you are being downvoted. My own experience aligns with what you are describing. For most residential work a homeowner can do a solid job as long as you are handy and willing to spend a little time familiarizing yourself

But it's not like the IRS is having sales people cold call Americans and convince them to send more money. Even if you take the most charitable interpretation of what taxes are (ie. you think they are legitimate and necessary at their

I think you'll find that no architect, contractor, etc. is going to care about your house as much as you do. Even if they are the best of the best you aren't their only client, so they have limited time to put towards your project

Your point makes sense when talking about this action by the Fed when looking at it as a standalone action, but a lot of people, including myself, might think the raised state of alarm is justified given that this is a situation where the F

Are you arguing that being a "grown up" means never offending other people? I'm really not trying to troll you, just not sure how to interpret your last sentence.

I initially thought you couldn't possibly be right about this, but what you stated does seem to be the case. After skimming through the full text, the main point of this seems to be about setting up a committee that will come up with &

That’s not what the expression means. If you are a tiny company and a big customer comes to you and says “can you scale to support us”, you answer yes even if you are not 100% sure you are ready. If however you claim to have feature X and y

I have a similar story. Did a one way rental and drove from Seattle to Portland, but the returning location was open when I returned the car. Did the whole walk around of the car with the Hertz employee and everything was fine. Then I get a

I think some of the replies to your comment and surrounding comments are missing an important point, which I'm going to assume you were making. In a remote work situation, managers need to check in for more than just directly work rela

Agreed. My company builds text messaging tools and we recently had to add support for HEIC images. Not a huge deal, but we only had to do it at all because we started seeing a few errors with users messages where a HEIC image was being sent

They are pricey, but I would describe them more like the Apple of power tools. They have an ecosystem of tools and accessories that work together, and because they have a relatively small and consistent product line 3rd parties also make a

You're completely correct. What I was trying to communicate, and what I should have emphasized, is that it's not just a send and forget kind of process. After the items have been set aside you get an email/text to confirm tha
