Why, oh WHY do people attempt to use Twitter as a means of communication?

Not a surprise, but the story is a good small example of the problem, written out with enough detail for non-experts to follow. Answering a very simple question necessitated the use of a mix of skills like interviewing the homeless, persuad

There are lots of projects that do this (implement a Klein bottle with a crossing).

The law is fairly smart. It is flexible enough to recognize the difference between a simple clerical error or misstatement and an intentional deception. In this case, OP provides plenty of evidence that this would be a case of intentional d

Well, if they'd gone high enough, neither you nor I would be sitting here right now reading this piece of negative publicity about Bell.

But there's a good reason for that -- as long as legislatures keep making it ILLEGAL to use such a feature, can you really blame Apple for not wanting to offer it?

That would be INCREDIBLY awesome, considering that it would require pieces that have a curve in to the 4th dimension (or perhaps just pieces that could pass through each other). A Klein bottle is a 2-dimensional surface cannot be embedded i

Oh, I'm fairly certain that the information sharing would only go one direction: the merchants would share the data to the credit card companies, who would run fraud models on it and provide near-real-time feedback to the merchants. In

You know... there is one entity that is reasonably well funded, has incredibly strong capabilities for card fraud detection, and is well motivated to identify the fraud: the credit card companies. (I work for one, which makes me especially

They certainly could! That's a basic part of the deal when you offer something as open source. I wouldn't choose to aid such a project, UNLESS I felt that JetBrains (the company that produces IntelliJ) was being harmful to the com

Not at all. One could do as NPR has done in this case: Remove the original story and replace it with a statement of why it has been retracted. Nothing is hidden, and the incorrect story is removed.

I actually question whether the real story is the fall of Eclipse or the rise of Intellij. My impression (as someone who used both) is that Intellij IDEA was significantly better than Eclipse (to the extent that I went out of my way to be t

So the societal patterns this article describes are true, and they are not acceptable. As a white male who lives in this society, I have one question: What can I do to help change this?

Much of the credit goes to The Cincinnati Enquirer for having the ethics to include interns on the byline. As they should, but not everyone would do so.

The app, the social media push, those things DID begin making a difference, even when their pizza DID taste like unwashed feet. But I agree that a better product was the most significant innovation they made.

China is a bully. Bullys are a serious problem when they are bigger and stronger than most everyone around and also the community does not band together to stop them.

I use Lyft, and I have never used Facebook to log into ANYTHING. So I don't know if they support dropping an existing Facebook login, but they certainly support other authentication methods. (Mine is username-password.)
