Please note that dropping out of school and going back later is also a choice. I am appalled that many people tend to dismiss this alternate path. College will not go anywhere. It'll be there to go back to if your startup fails and if

iMessage can work on a Hackintosh. Works on mine. It does take effort to make iMessage work though.

Note that this has been a "known issue" for a long time for a bunch of high end $2000+ products and they have only announced this after years since the incident happened. Not so classy.

Same exact sentiment here with 2012 rMBP. Had to sell it for much lower and grabbed a new one. The NVIDIA GPU was faulty and it worked fine on Intel only. No way they reimburse the damage.

Adding to this, founders have more information than employees, reducing their uncertainties.

Well, not all companies are get-big-quick-fast-and-sell-or-die Silicon Valley VC-funded "startups". Many registrars have been around for years and making decent money doing that and are likely to be around for time to come.

"Messages are heavily encrypted". WTF does that mean? I guess that's Telegram's approach to security. Lightweight, correct, encryption does not work for them. They prefer heavyweight and incorrect.

I don't disagree with your point. To clarify, I was stating that it's expected to hear people leaving following a decrease in responsibility; I was not trying to imply that such change has been necessarily involuntary. It could ve

This is technically correct, but does not result in a very useful information, as P(A|B) can be a very different beast than P(A).

This argument is based on the assumption that LLVM is equivalent to GCC. If that were true, it wouldn't have really mattered that GCC exists or what it does and the argument wouldn't have been made in the first place. The fact tha

I think you are talking about Bay Trail, which powers the low end Chromebooks and is a replacement for the Haswell Celeron, not Broadwell in general. The new Bay Trail chips are indeed horribly slow compared to last gen Haswell Celerons (i.
