There are two justifications, all coming from the Republican side of things. 1) Tax filing being difficult makes people pay more attention to what they pay in taxes. 2) Tax filing being difficult makes people hate taxes, which will make the

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying Google analytics will get you ranked higher or lower. Just that Google can use the data from analytics to tell if their results were what the user wanted.

I will not work at Agile/Scrum shops for similar reasons. Although my primary reason is different. Estimations break the whole process. Most of engineering is discovery work and discovery work can't be estimated, leading devs to e

Most flavors of linux are pretty painless on thinkpads. Although I wouldn't recommend using anything other than a thinkpad if you can't put up with some things not working.

The difficulty of giving examples to illustrate what "clarity" means really shows in this article. For the most part I evaluate software clarity by how many times I had to hit "goto definition" to see what was actually h

I think it's wrong to tell someone what they can do with land they own. If you want to decide what's done on land, buy it. This would also work as a solution to NIMBYism.

I would put money down that his serial number is not included in the recent recall. As usual, Apple seems to be in denial of the extent of the issues.

I've seen dozens of comments over the last 24 hours saying that people have swelling batteries but their serial number is not covered. I would hope for a more comprehensive recall soon since these issues just keep popping up.

Yes, but do other places have the complication of having to replace systems that are sucking billions of dollars out of students to line the pockets of university presidents? This is what makes me skeptical. A solution in the United States
