Sidelining well established standards isn't the solution to the web's problems. This is one of the instances where being open source it's not enough and coming from Google it is actually worrying. A very obvious Trojan hors

I hope it works out for them. Amazon's age it's showing, their site it's clunky and unresponsive at times. Sellers misrepresent their wares all the time. They're outright banning some products which, for a store, it&#x27

Amazon turned a "small" profit just the other day. Overall I think it's still fair to categorize it as a money losing venture (so far).

There is a massive amount of US wealth landlocked in China, there's no way a US president is going to risk having China appropriate all that wealth a la Castro. If you really believe Trump will go through with his childish bravado th

It's so bad that they will actually push their loyal users to Chrome. The chromeization of Firefox has been awful and it seems like it's going to continue.

I agree. It's not easy to gracefully walk out of that kind of situation. At that point it was better to just go through the motions and maybe end the interview prematurely.

That's painful but also kind of funny because we all have been there one way or another.

I work in software myself but come on, it's fair to say that being a surgeon is way less trivial and far riskier than being a programmer.

I have read about that. And while it would explain the repetitiveness it's independent of how his writing appears to me. Needless to say, a lot of people disagree with my view of his writing.

Any recommendations?

I absolutely love "The Road", it's one of my favorite post-apocalyptic movies (I haven't read the book yet).

I agree. Ironically (since he is associated with the 'gardeners' type in the piece), his writing feels too methodical and lineal to me. Also very repetitive. Of his books I haven't liked the first one. The same happens to me

You're not just pointing out anything. You were excusing imperialism with a little bit of racism on the side. Both out of ignorance as usual.

There's also the fact that we demand way more from our fiction now (or maybe not so much if you look at the bestsellers of the past decade). Back in the day people got exposed to very few new stories in their lifetime, most of them wer

I wasn't suggesting that HIPAA compliant businesses were "blase" about data protection, just that (like many other businesses) they place way too much faith in Microsoft, sometimes sidestepping important and legitimate debate

It's safe to say that whatever worries the DoD may have about Windows 10 are going to be readily addressed by MS but most people/businesses won't have that luxury.
