Does it really matter if it's real, while attracting millions of real eyeballs? Pixar movies aren't real, and they attract millions of real people.

Ok Tait the Destroyer. It's not literally meant to be read as a single person living for hundreds of years on a bread diet.

Honestly, spinning up a SQL server really isn't rocket science. SQL is easier to read and write than that messy mongo query language. Though, if you're used to taking the quick and dirty route for everything, you're probably

That's the point. Using relational data in a non-relational system is just foolish, and introduces issues not worth dealing with. What exactly is MongoDB going to give you over PostgreSQL in that case?

There are use cases for it, just as there are use cases for any type of database. The biggest source of problems that so many of us ran into, was using MongoDB as the Swiss army knife for projects. At the end of the day, most data is relati

What exactly did they expect to happen by blowing it up? It's not as if it was going to just make it, and itself disappear.

Has his writing style improved since Snow Crash and prior works? I don't think I can handle slogging through another Stephenson novel.

Awesome! I'd rethink that logo though.

It's not just you, I read it about a year ago after all these years of hearing its praises. Clearly it was pioneering work that influenced many science fiction movies/books/games, but it was an atrocious read. There isn'

Probably because it's labor intensive, something an automated machine can handle just fine.

I mean a Wendy's double is $5, $3 is just crazy cheap.

What's the habitable area of Sweden? No way it's as much as the US. There is very little farmland there. Look at the size of Canada, and most of it is useless beyond the southern greenbelt area.

Robotic fast food is basically inevitable. It's the same exact process, rarely do menus really change. Burger actually looks pretty dang good, and for $6? Heck yes.

Like I said, beyond the holy Nintendo trinity, Sony has the entire rest of the exclusive IPs.

People don't want to live on top of one another. We have a huge country, and we enjoy having our own land. I understand most people in this world don't understand that rationalization, but it is what it is. Murica.

People don't like it in the US, because it's overwhelmingly a shit experience. Are there any other countries in the world with the vastness of the US, that have awesome public transit? Everyone here is waaaaay more spread out. No

I assure you everyone wants to get laid. Whether that is the ONLY reason is a different story.

Sony is the undisputed king of exclusive content. Microsoft really has nothing, and Nintendo lives off of a once per generation Mario/Zelda/Metroid. My guess is that they enjoy their clubhouse, and don't want to invite others

Prices are determined by what people are willing to pay for things. A video card isn't a requirement to sustain life, it's a luxury. If people think $1000 for one is too much, they simply won't buy one. Obviously a business w

Every time I read extensive tutorials, blog posts, what have you about something. I think to myself, damn, these guys have a lot of extra time on their hands. Generally I learn new things, by building something, and then building something

How to Win Friends and Influence People should be required reading, and studied prior to graduating high school. I reread it once every year, and I still dig out gems that help in day to day life.

They addressed the instants, far too difficult to direct flow of the game online like that. Look at MTG online, it flows like a pig. The game is constantly interrupted for each phase. Their answer was secrets basically.

I've played daily since beta, and stopped about a year ago. The problem with Hearthstone is that they traded mana RNG for effect RNG. The fate of every match revolves around how well a card randomly targets an enemy. Far too much is de

I work for "free", posting beautiful photos of food, and cocktails on Instagram. In exchange I get fed, I get invited to every social event, every new restaurant opening, every special sit down, and I'm now well connected to

I think you vastly underestimate "influencers". Just replace that term with advertisers, because that's exactly what it is. Everyone is looking for the new advertising paradigm? You're looking at it. People are ACTIVELY
