This entire letter sounded condescending and immature, to be honest. It reminded me of the cheesy Mac vs. PC days from Apple.

I completely agree, I was not trying to equate both administrations. I'm just tired of hearing people claim Obama had a perfect administration.

I would wager mass surveillance programs, Fast/Furious, and spying on White House journalists to be scandalous. Not sure why many people can't fathom seeing both parties as unethical.

I used to own a Honda Civic with a large digital speedometer above the steering wheel. With my eyes focused on the road, I could see the speed I was traveling at. Of course, newer cars have HUD speedometers which project your speed onto you

I don't believe this, mainly because football will always be an easy and cheap sport for 20+ people to play and be entertained because the only equipment you need is a football and a grassy field. Meanwhile, safer and more affluent com

I recently visited an Apple Store in University Village (Seattle) and I was impressed with how large the space was. I kept walking around the entire store looking for their laptop displays thinking maybe they had removed it. Alas, I found t

Comparing a doctored video with blatantly false engineered hardware (and affiliated links for a DIY) to a video with dishonest reactions is not a fair comparison.

FYI: Semantic UI has one of the largest file sizes for CSS libraries at 730 KB uncompressed, 95 KB gzipped - add in React and you'll reach 1MB in no time. https://gist.github.com/primaryobjects/64a4e7e3351c646f51ee

Patients under sedation don’t feel pain from starving or dehydration. If they were conscious the pain from their own illness would be considerably worse.

I concur, I tried looking for a place in Orlando the other day. Instead, I was shown 40% house/apt listings, 60% tourist/Groupon-esque events.

It would be trivial to store data in the browser's local storage and hijack a "real" HTTP POST with this data. The front-end logic would need to be obfuscated far enough to deter anyone from trying to step through the Javascr

Is sniffing and accessing an API that requires no credentials really prosecutable for "hacking"? Anyone can download a MITM proxy on their phone and replay HTTP/HTTPS calls.

When did conspiracy theories become harmful? This seems like a move straight out of “1984”. If someone wants to believe (insert grandiose and stupid theory), who cares? YouTube started as an entertainment platform, not a learning tool.

I wonder if there will be a way to pair a driver with a patient who only speaks Spanish. Health care transportation is a huge market for elderly in Miami, especially since retirement homes are taboo in many hispanic cultures.

I find it impossible to believe that there are no bots or paid marketing shills on Reddit. If you were to hide downvotes, this would only affect “honest” users, and not bot farms using APIs or web extensions.

House of Cards could have ended 2 seasons ago, at episode 52, but the producers got greedy and decided to milk the storyline for hours with Doug/useless story arcs that didn’t contribute to the main plot. Kudos to Netflix executives fo

A survey for Apple would have extremely polarizing results since its market share is split between iOS and Android devices. Meanwhile, most Amazon/Google products are not machine specific (sans Android).
