I'd imagine you also noticed how sweet most tomato sauce is in the US! I don't make pizza much at home, but for pasta sauce I always make my own. I can't stand the store bought sauce.

Google Play Services is the 'worst' battery offender because it provides services to many other apps. If there was no such central service then other apps would be polling location independently etc and battery drain would be even

I've yet to see (which I acknowledge doesn't mean that it doesn't exist) any compelling argument that this is actually harmful to the users or anything of that line. All I see is tech people talking about hypothetical competi

I don't know if the word cloning would be appropriate. Outdoor security cameras aren't really a new product and the features such as light and two way talk are pretty obvious.

Yeah, if you can create a good enough multi-task (which driving is) learner to know how to navigate city traffic, it will easily learn to park.

I don't know why one would even consider a non-funded research based graduate program. Even with my tuition waived and stipend I still almost feel ripped off despite being at a good school (UIUC MS).

Yes, but they turned it down to work on what they liked. This is just paying you upfront to do that. Granted you don't own it...

Yes, I understand the anecdote here is a lawyer, but it certainly needs to be studied for all professions and modern lifestyle affects - lawyer, banker, programmer or blue collar or service jobs with infrequent customer interaction

I would like to add that I also don't see anything wrong with his posts. It is a humanizing comment about the people of a country

I believe he links it for a bit of general background, but it is older so naturally it wouldn't include the latest finding

My (not GP) issue with him comes from all his whining over the NHTSA stuff. You can't talk about how easy the problem is and how much better you are, and then fold when safety regulators show up. That to me says that he may be incredib

Sure, we have no proof, but that is obviously the type of job where you work for multiple clients.

He/she's definitely not being sarcastic, but I don't think the GP agrees

Eh, one person's twitter can be ignored. These days people get so worked up on social media anytime a brand does anything (i.e. people getting mad a cinnabon for their carrie fisher bun pic - http://cbsnews3.cbsistatic.com&#

I would greatly disagree with that. The rest of the world can see complaints on social media, whereas no one knows if the guy in the office is being ignored.

I think you 'winning' was exactly the reason they didn't particularly like it. In you agreeing to charge by page and not time, they very well may have thought they were having you. In the sense that they believed it to be a s

Google's entire business relies on maintaining this user trust. They have far more to lose than to gain by betraying user trust.

UPS truck also carries a hell of a lot more than your average employee is going to put in his car and on delivery-dense routes MPG isn't a great signal for efficiency

Yes, but from a legal precedent standpoint pizza delivery cars are more relevant

It's a discussion, not an argument. Why would you marry someone if you couldn't talk to them about decisions like this? The whole damn point of a life partner is to have someone you can figure out life with.
