This is one of those areas where California just plain outshines every other state by a huge margin -- the CC, CSU, and UC systems are generally accessible (although UCs have gotten much more expensive, especially recently -- but they'

I have literally never heard anyone cite California taxes as having any contribution on them leaving. The only people I've heard mention 'high California taxes' are people who are explicitly trying to solicit Californians t

Sometimes it's seeing the workflow. Sometimes it's seeing the outcome without having to run a hello-world yourself. But I think mostly it's because videos give a much better overall topology quicker than reading. For example

Imageshack was in the same position 5 years ago. And Photobucket 3 years before that. Image hosts go through a cycle of upending the tyrant and then becoming the villain.

Consuming the ODB port for autolaunching an app seems like a really pointless addition. It weirds me out that I'm installing an always-on (when driving) computer in my car when it provides no major benefit other than knowing when my ca

Because the point (as I understand it) of this whole experiment is that they were trying to create an altcoin that used strict contracts as the basis for transactions (with no human intervention). Essentially the code is the contract, so co

Nowadays, I try to buy most games on GOG. However, Steam 'DRM' is less DRM and more SDK. It assuredly adds value (compared to things like uplay or origin which are honest-to-god DRM schemes). Steam/Valve aren't perfect,

I think the only way to affect change is to have it tied to pensions, so that there is an internal incentive for them to behave. As it exists, any 'fine' levied on police just gets shuffled over to taxpayers (and an insurance poli

I got excited thinking this was a fix to the main index page (when logged in) since that is so onerously terrible, but alas it is not. I regularly contribute to a handful (like 3) different repos, and occasionally a few more (maybe 2 or 3 m

It's most likely that the bot is retweeting random or high profile tweets to establish account credibility, as happens with facebook like sellers. Don't slip to the conspiracy that confirms your worldview so quickly without consid

On facebook, fake accounts will often like legitimate pages so their accounts do not get flagged when liking pages that paid to be liked. It's not inconceivable and probably likely that any highly-retweeted tweet will be again retweete

Cape Verde Islands are closest, but the coast of Africa itself is not much further from Brazil. It's really easy to conceive of trade getting to the Ivory Coast and then traders making the trip to the Americas.

The coast of Brazil and the Cape Verde Islands are not terribly far (relatively speaking). I think a lot of Americans underestimate how close the Americas are to the Euroafrican landmasses. Also, this is neat reading: https://en.

Except that it's the opposite of a congestion incentive... it's unmetering so people can use high-bandwidth using services. And if you're offering that any service can sign up to not be metered, then why even meter bandwidth
