I have found that this is one of the most redeeming qualities of Next Door. Among the people selling "gently used" crap that no one would even take for free, the NIMBY crowd, the easy racism under the guise of neighborhood watch,

It's not that cord-cutters are a bad thing, but isn't that the crux of ESPN's financial woes? Nearly everyone and their mama had cable about a decade ago. No matter if you were a 4 person family, living off campus where utili

You can make me personally liable all you want for the transaction, but if you think you can recoup $100M from me, good luck.

I edited my comment. The key takeaway from the edit was sensible regulation. To answer your question though, no. It was misused infrastructure that was basically given away to telecos. Instead of sharing it like a utility, they took it and

But you've been an advocate of deregulation all over this thread. The barrier of entry to becoming an ISP is high. A sort of compromise is to use sensible regulation to protect users from the active players. The keyword here is sensibl

The last time this came up, the same thing was suggested. Someone brought up that whoever needed to verify the keys would eventually stop doing so unless the key verification process could be automated from beginning to end. The argument wa

I fail to see how this is clickbait. Can you explain how this suit's flight mechanism is dissimilar to Iron Man's Mk III from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-19999). He's obviously not using repulsors for flight, but the

But at least with a doctor visit, the doctor can start lobbing mortar shells, and you have the ability to help walk the doc on target. I feel like this analogy is very apt, because to better troubleshoot, developers/IT can try to help

I've probably spoken with 3 or 4 Scots in my entire my entire life, and I've heard a few speak in various news/radio spots. Listening to a Scottish person speak really sounds like someone speaking English with a heavy accent.

Although I laughed, I'm sure GP meant sphere. That is the correct formula for volume of a sphere, and a sphere is a circle in 3-space.

The idea behind estimates is to get you to think about the scope the work that is to be done. Quickly walk yourself through the process, give a SWAG, do your best to track your time spent on the task, then review what you got right and wron

Could you explain why garbage collection in your use case is a bad thing? The GC vs non-GC always fascinates me, and I have no strong opinion either way. Also, doesn't C# have the ability to limit (or pretty much disable) GC?

There's a stark difference in what you're allowed to do and what you should do. A parent is allowed to ground their child for a month for every C they make, but when you explore the context of why the child made the C and the alte

I absolutely hate the idea of serving garbage byte to users - even if it is only 500 kB worth. The internet already has enough useless cruft. CNN loads 4.9 mB of data with no adblockers. Fox News loads 2.6 mB. MSNBC loads 4.2 mB. The Guardi
