This article reminded me of the other major reason I've left OS X, other than five years of shitty Mac hardware which has been covered to death: shitty Mac software. Apple's software has always been on the lowest levels of quality

Agreed, but as a society, we clearly only care about babies before they're born. And we simply don't care about adults at all.

You want it to tell the whole story of justice in America and how people get royally fucked over even when they're judged not guilty?

In all states I'm familiar with it's better to fail the test rather than decline as the penalties for declining are much harsher, often twice as harsh.

Oh please. You never released a bug to production that couldn't be fixed in five minutes? No way. That's such bullshit if you've ever worked in this industry. Legacy systems or not. Even as a fantasy/lie your claim is no

Build previous working version. Deploy to elastic beanstalk. Rollback any migrations. Fix the issue and redeploy at leisure.

It's too bad that we, as a society, haven't yet found any solution to this band of insane, armed madmen roaming around destroying whatever and whoever they want, stealing whatever they want, and generally doing whatever they want

Have you tried massage either professional or self massage with a lacrosse ball? It could be trigger points in your back. That's what I have. Search for info on self massage with a lacrosse ball.

If you're rich enough you not only get to ignore laws you don't like, you get your own police force to do your dirty work. Whether that's kicking out Latinos in Menlo Park today or rounding up slaves back in the days America

After hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, the blackout lasted for months. I assume no one was getting any money out of ATMs or using credit/debit cards or Apple pay or anything like that. You don't have to distrust the financial syst

Which just goes to show you how ridiculous the demand for "native look and feel" is. Of course no non technical person has ever demanded such a thing. It's like caring about the tech stack. No one cares but developers.

True, but since the Senate (or house) hasn't been needed to deploy troops for decades, I don't think their viewpoints will matter.

Of course I'd rather have my privacy even if it means thousands of CIA agents get tortured and killed. They're the ones who signed up for that job, a job that is likely unnecessary. And even the necessary spying would in no way ju

I was sued and the order to appear never arrived. I spoke to the judge and she said it doesn't matter. If it was sent out with USPS, it's considered delivered. They don't have to prove it was even delivered.

Remote has already taken off. Some people will always be stuck in the slave master mentality by choice, not because they don't know any better. They just love to control others and make others' lives miserable. Many managers liter

Heroin can't be prescribed in the US, but if it could, or if other opioids could be prescribed for addiction rather than just physical pain, it would help immensely. If it was supervised, it would end overdoses, needles on the ground,

Two day shipping of cheap products justify not paying employees for their time? Wtf?

Yup that's what I did. I'm a citizen and I would never complain. I've lived in an authoritarian country before. I know the drill.

CBP officers are some of the biggest idiots, it seems, not even knowing their own field let alone anything else about the world. I was once asked why my passport didn't have the stamp when returning from Europe. First, it did have a st

> making everybody That sounds extremely fucked up. No thanks. How do you suppose this will be enforced? Higher health insurance rates for people who want privacy? Or are they just going to start arresting and throwing people in prison o

This is trivial. Get a gps for the car. She has a flip phone. And she can still use laptops and desktops. She could even get a laptop with lte if she really wants. I'd do this for a tenth or even a hundredth of the price although the l

So just because one cannot reach 100% certainty one should withhold judgement? Bullshit. The ref's job is to make the call. The only difference that replay makes is that now the ref, instead of having a tiny fraction of a second once t

They should extend the sidewalks so there's only two bus lanes and build some protected bike lanes there. Make this permanent. Drivers will figure out a way. I hope more cities do more of this. Cities can change. Just look at Amsterdam

It's too bad we can't have laws regulating fraudulent behavior like this. This is just one of many ways that companies continually fuck over American consumers and consumers can't do anything about it other than not using ser

One I forgot but also in one of the other comments: take your time doing tasks and always look busy. Never rush to complete projects unless doing so gets you political points. Keeping a slow pace of work while looking like working a lot is

"Think of the children!" The most ridiculous, stupid argument that US politicians have loved for decades, maybe longer. What a bunch of bullshit. I can't believe that I'm siding w/ Zuckerberg on something. Then agai

Work is irrelevant beyond a paycheck. Don't stress out over anything if it doesn't involve you getting fired. Work as little as possible. Get as much done as you can working as little as possible as long as it doesn't stress

Why should governments forgo tax revenue now to create companies like Amazon that pay zero taxes later? It makes no sense.

So the system is working exactly as intended. The question is why do certain companies value students from schools like Harvard and Yale when they know many of those students are fairly average or even stupid? Clearly, it's not about a

That's absurd. People have been living in harsh conditions (120°F desert weather, <32°F freezing temps for big chunks of the year) for millennia and likely hundreds of thousands of years with none of the technology we currently enjo
