A while back ago I would have agreed with you (also having spent a lot of time on Slashdot), but the quality of posts these days on the front pages keep from returning on a regular basis. Yes, I know that with Reddit you need to unsubscribe

Given that fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource and the urgent need to reduce/eliminate dependence on fossil fuels due to climate change, will this not happen regardless though? I would hope these countries have the sensibilities

At some point, you will complete school, your friends will go their separate ways and you will lose access to university resources. At that point, you will need a decent salary to pay for living expenses, support a family and all the other

I hear this expression, "heavily regulated", a lot from Americans but I never understand in context to what? Are you making comparisons to Canada, the EU, China or other countries with different economic systems? Also, how do you

I think when you have the time to write and edit your thoughts for people to read, "fuck" is witless and lazy.

Skimming would imply that someone physically altered the self-checkout lanes to capture credit cards in the same way an ATM skimmer works. Since this was installed malware, it would mean access to Home Depot's network. I wouldn't

Bike-specific baggies are generally slimmer in the thigh and cut higher in the rear/crotch to reduce getting caught in the saddle. I ride mostly with baggies and it's not a problem I've ever experienced.

Also, narrow/wide chain rings, clutch derailleurs and a far greater range of available gearing options has advanced the entire drivetrain compared to 5, 10 years ago...and lets not forget all the advances in disc brake technology over

Not to nitpick, but the site states $100K for 1 year, which seems like a "use or lose" type deal. So if your start up doesn't burn through that much in hosting/storage/computing, you aren't really getting $100k

I wouldn't be surprised if there were ordinances in place to discourage/prohibit that though.

Wouldn't you still need to do a combination of filtering and manual moderation even with a subdomain? What would stop someone from creating something like 'login.7sheep.io'? If you are spoofing a domain, you probably aren&#x2

Nice looking site. As far as traffic goes, perhaps you might want to re-consider your page titles/headers as well as include more content with targeted keywords. I can't imagine many people are searching using terms like "sho

Well, to be fair, the flipside to that are some of these new PHP frameworks that attempt to include every pattern known to man and are buried under mountains of worthless abstractions.

The biggest was probably that pass-by-value and pass-by-reference was flipped on its head in PHP4. Interesting times in PHP land back then!

That's how I saw it as well. When you rotate to the "side" (pivot) in the 4th dimension, you see the wall and its change over time as one entity. So then you can either pick going around the start (when construction of the wa

Perhaps I am wrong, but my take on that was that, although he would most likely have had a successful career in physics, he didn't seem to be content with just being another physicist in the crowd. His decision to switch paths may have

If her "stuff" is that portable and the service provider has at least some kind of read access, how would one prevent the service provider from simply keeping a mirror of Grandma's data on their own servers?

I will disagree with your first point. As a European who has lived in the US now for over a decade, I can say the OP is correct. Yes, there are people in Europe who do put in long hours, but the overall atmosphere/attitude (for lack of
