Yep, agree 100%. 10.6.8 on the early unibody Macbook Pros was excellent.

Your comment made me go back and actually read the FOIA document, and indeed it does read as though the police used an LRAD (presumably at low power) in a manner similar to a loudspeaker to convey information, not in a forceful, damaging ma

Women's US 2016 champion Nazí Paikidze also boycotted the 2017 world championships in Iran over similar issues. FIDE (the international chess governing body) seems to be about on par with FIFA when it comes to planning events (and poss

Seems like in that case it should be Facebook being reprimanded if they do something with the data that violates the original terms of use. "Sharing" is a bit misleading because as soon as Facebook acquired WhatsApp, they became

Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

Sure, that makes sense to me. But this seems more like "the company said it wouldn't allow anyone else to query the database" before I bought it. Now that I'm owner, do I still count as "anyone else?" I'd

Is there legal precedent for "sharing" when the only entity you're providing the data to is your owner? Presumably if I bought WhatsApp, I would legally be allowed to query some database for someone's phone number if I

I wonder what the legal argument is behind this ruling. If one newspaper acquired another, couldn't the parent then market to the subsidiary's subscribers even if they continued to operate separately? The parent now owns everyth

Every single job I've take has advertised that a degree is required. After joining, I've always had at least one co-worker without a degree (usually in some sort of respected, senior role). A degree certainly makes things easier

I think a large part of the problem is that the younger generations have grown up with pretty strong expectations placed upon them to do things like go to college (at whatever cost), land a white collar job, climb the ladder, etc. The obvio

In the last decade or even century, yes. But we have very little idea what the actual norm is in terms of fluctuations over the course of a few decades in the context of millennia because we don't have data at that granularity for the

FCPX is a neutered shell of what FCP once was. It works fine for prosumer YouTuber sorts of things, but it's hardly a reason to cling to macOS.

I doubt that's true. Adobe CS has been the top choice for pro media for years and it runs on Windows at least as well as on Mac.

If I were Stripe.com's legal counsel, I'd have already fired off a C&D. Stripe.ian.sh isn't trying to subvert traffic, but the entire point of this exercise is to show how it's possible to be confused for the real S

Companies are registered at the state level, but names are trademarks that are overseen at the federal level. The real Stripe could probably sue and force a change of name due to trademark infringement, especially since the fake Stripe&#x2

I think the same rules apply. You can exercise but you'll owe taxes and can't sell any shares to cover the tax.

Typical shitty reporting from Bloomberg. Other than the dollar amount outstanding, there's nothing else in the article that draws any similarities to the junk bond market. It's about as meaningful as saying "Apple's ma

Isn't that a good thing, too, though? I personally love that I can spin up Redis or Postgres or whatever as a managed service on AWS. I care about using the software, not staying on top of patching the server running the software.

I get where you're coming from, but my point was mostly that when a business develops a product, upfront engineering is often seen as somewhat of a sunk cost. The more important measure is the margin on the physical product. The cost

The problem (other than your inner hippie :P) is that it can be quite difficult to accurately value a software product. Most physical goods are valued based on the cost of materials/manufacturing. However software is an intangible go

I think you definitely have a shot. I'd suggest spinning up some social media accounts to widen your engagement since you're going to have a ton of overlap with the Instagram/Snapchat crowd. Also your prices for the higher
