Tragedy of the commons. No individual manufacturer really cares about the issues created by the ecosystem of IoT, so they have no real incentive to address it.

Discussion on a submission can be about the discussion as well. Are you intentionally trying to be ironic with your comment -- which itself is not constructive or interesting?

Chicago is 1% of the country. I live in the Bay Area (Berkeley). My only choice above 20mbits is Comcast. AT&T's lines near me are old, I can get a max of 18mbits with them; Sonic says I can get about 12. I own my own home, so I

A month ago I did a deep dive in to etherium and the 'altcoin' universe. The one thing I came out of it all with was a feeling that I had seen so much of the same sentiment and rhetoric about specific altcoins and altcoins in gene

The command line in the demo is Hyper (made by the same people as Next): https://hyper.is/ Stylizing is done on the terminal itself, and then anything (like Quicktime) could do a recording.

Twitter employs around 3900 people total, 2300 in San Francisco (numbers are from some random google sources, so may be off by a bit/time). In the first quarter, Yahoo laid off 3,135 people in the Bay Area. Twitter going under would be

A case where it was divided along partisan lines 5 to 4 on the SCOTUS. One of the 5s seat is now vacant and the next president will appoint a replacement. This is the primary reason I am so frustrated with friends of mine who are content to

Anyone have experience to how this compares with Deis (Workflow)? Last week I spent an evening getting a small cluster set up with kubernetes and deis. It looks to work very similar to Flynn.

I am a compulsive selector and I absolutely hate websites that try to add functionality to selections. No, I do not want to share this selection, website, especially when your JS code hangs for a moment as it loads a stupid twitter image.

Good god the scrolling behavior on that site is obnoxious . I scroll down, and it scrolls me back up because I didnt scroll enough . #1 way to make me discount your ideas before I've even read them.

Yes they do. This is why Spotify is more expensive if you subscribe through the app -- because they cannot take payment details through the app for digital goods/services. So any music streaming service that wants to try to compete wit
