If the guy loved what he was doing, then that's more than the majority of people can say about their jobs. Money definitely does not make people any happier.

Agreed, so sick of these internet acronyms. This isn't text messaging, it's an intelligent discussion forum. Type out what you're saying.

Logins are not a real purpose for modals. Just go to the login page, and redirect back to where you were. I'll give you confirmation yes/no modals, but that's about it.

Advertisers have smartened up to this. Followers don't mean shit, it's all about engagement. In fact, a lot of companies are focusing on many "micro influencers" over one large influencer. They can spread their advertisi

I mean technically coal is powered by the Sun. Also what an unfortunate acronym.

Actually being one of those influencers, I can tell you that most people in this world don't care what someone on Instagram says. Those that do pay attention are there for the fantasy, and not actually jumping on a plane to a remote lo

If you want to avoid unpleasant tourist traps, go off the beaten path to smaller towns and villages. You'll find a much more beautiful, and genuine experiences talking with real locals, who aren't just trying to sell you overprice

So, even more nefarious, and in violation of their terms?

They do when you want to redistribute it with their name, which is the whole point of this discussion.

Ok Stallman, now back to reality where people do own software, they do have legal restrictions on its use, and it's not a human right to circumvent it.

Not with that attitude!

You're trying to impress us with the maths. I already took all of the statistics, and differential equation classes twenty years ago. I get it. However, there are already countries experiencing negative population growth, and the trend

What's less? What is your approved number of children for each couple? If someone remarries, does that x number of children carry over from their previous?

Sorry, when did anyone talk about a limit? If the slowing growth continues, then eventually it will cross zero into the negative. Look at the relative growth, by 2100 it's predicted to get close.

Slowing does not equal stopped.

Out of all the content on there Stranger Things really is some of the weakest. Nostalgia city sure, but that story is weak as shit.

Really not sure what is going to happen to the cinephile demographic if they do away with their physical library. I'm not going to deal with 8 different streaming sites, all with poor quality.
828.
by overcast 8y ago
I'm nearly ready to cancel my streaming subscription. There is less and less studio movies I want to see on there, and more Netflix originals. Not that I have an issue with the originals, there are good ones, but there is seriously not

So, don't focus on the biggest areas first then? Make up your mind. Are we supposed to have every country enact laws to enforce weather appropriate dress codes? Who is going to be the fashion police?

Of course we can, but I prefer taking out the easy tasks first. Changing the AC habits of billions of people is a bit more work, than turning off crypto nonsense.
831.
by overcast 8y ago
I don't agree. It's like reducing your debt. Focusing on paying off the smallest debts first is most efficient. Always start with low hanging fruit. Knock those out, and you see real progress.

by overcast 8y ago
Let's focus more on the worthless wastes of energy like cryptocurrency, and less on life saving ones like air conditioning. The latter does FAR more right than wrong. Should we have more energy efficient machines, and less harmful chem

I don't see anything clear about it being a browser. If you want to ask silly questions like this, expect silly responses. There is a zillion ways to answer this question, I imagine the idea here is just to see a persons thought proces

You're willing to bet your own employment on that? We'd all love to live in a world of butterflies and sugar plums, but risking your own for that is silly don't you think?

Nope, fresh installs of Windows 7 definitely not nearly as responsive. Thousands of machines a year, Windows 10 is by far the fastest.

by overcast 8y ago
I would agree, but doesn't seem to be the case here! This is also with a new(6 month) battery. It's either ramping up for much too long, or it's just normal beta battery usage.

iOS 12 is indeed faster, but it seems to be at a cost to increased battery usage. From my understanding, CPU is ramped up to maximum performance mode when needed, like launching applications and other demanding tasks. Then dialed back down

by overcast 8y ago
I don't know, Windows 10 seems to be faster on even older hardware. Upgrading from 7 to 10 makes the machine feel MUCH more responsive. Seems to bring life back to the old machines around here.

Easiest sell ever! Congrats.

I think most people have enough intelligence to realize something is wrong. Why go to the doctors at all then? Surely my problems must be normal for humans. Sure, as a young child you'd not think about it. But as an adult, you're
