So how about an update to the OSX client so that it doesn't eat resources or choke on shared folders? Or generally put some development behind Drive in general, not just the client but also the apps that have been rebranded as part of Drive

I've never read Greenspun, and I've stopped reading half way through. And I should have already stopped after "Silicon Valley Socialism", but I was hoping he was just joking. He wasn't. Only in America can this kind of crap not be considere

I don't mind Americans being oversensitive to swearing. I can respect cultural differences, and IRL I will usually make an effort not to swear in front of Americans. What pisses me off however is the judgmental bullshit excuses Americans us

If there's one thing worse than clueless execs that don't understand what programmers do, it's clueless ego-maniacal execs that try to "educate" the rest of the world about what programmers do. Forget about the "probably". Most people on HN

The main problem is not that it's easy to dupe an individual journalist. This can never be completely avoided, and making it less easy is a solvable problem. The big red warning sign is the lack of corrections. This shows how little the med

All evidence to the contrary. Unless you seriously want to claim that the number of murders and easy access to firearms are merely a matter of accidental correlation. You're correct if you're talking premeditated killing. But most killing

It's not the creepiness that's relevant here. That's rather subjective, and as others have pointed out, all social networks do the same. What's most relevant here is that it's downright illegal in most Western countries LinkedIn e.a. operat
