Interesting that Vox is the platform on which this article appears. They are as much a part of the internet justice mob as Facebook or Twitter. Several articles on their front page have clickbait articles and are designed to get people rile

I've always felt that calling online forums "communities" was wishful thinking on the part of forum participants looking for a sense of belonging. Hacker News and nerdfighters, to use examples you posted, never felt like comm

So you're saying no need to toss "liberal" in there because it's so obvious. By the way, conservatives would not object to developing a neighborhood if that development meant more economic opportunities and more jobs. If

The arguments presented by the employees quoted in the article make it seem that it is exactly about someone else earning more money taking your money, not actual money but potential money. One of the high profile employees that left talked

That's kinda what I thought. Actually, the first thing that came to mind is, science fiction that isn't fun anymore.

I agree with you - what is politically correct has changed. I think it often changes to be what is most convenient to those in power. There's a huluva lot more to American history than the bad things, but recent trends I see make me fe

You're gonna worry yourself sick thinking like that. Forget about wanting to know the purity of OTC aspirin. Don't even start thinking about all the things that could have gone wrong in making the particular bottle of aspirin you

If I'm bringing bankers or investors, I think the most important factor will still be, "show me the money". For example, why have an office full of workers when you can outsource most of your work and save a ton? I've se

I don't drink at all, and some people see that as a drinking problem. I try to keep the caffeine consumption to a minimum too. Pretty much the only substance I allow to change my mental state is sugar, and even that I am trying to cut

It's too time-consuming to actually do journalism when you can just paste a twitter timeline and then move on to the next headline before your competitors can. It's not about journalism anymore, it's about getting clicks.

If you're on 32-bit systems, you're even more out of luck. With the release of version 3.0, MongoDB dropped commercial support for 32-bit systems. You can still get binaries, but without commercial support they'll probably st

I think this could be part of the problem. When I was growing up and my dad was getting good work and saving up money, my mom demanded that he move us out of our bad neighborhood. None of my cousins who stayed behind graduated high school,

Doesn't sound like you are battling with sleep then. There are some people who do get by with 4-5 hours of sleep. Then again, there are a lot more people who think they can get by with so little sleep, but when they do start committing

I can see this ending badly for reddit, if implemented. Farhad Manjoo uses the words "worker-owned cooperative" in the article. If moderators start being compensated by reddit, even if only with shares, I can see them using that a

I think you can apply the same logic to gay legalization and feminism, yes. The logic is stretched too far if you try to apply it to Gandhi or the Civil Rights Movement. Those are completely different situations. A company didn't choos

I wanna see that happen, if only to go to those organic groceries and see the disappointed looks on people's faces.

I don't think the Costco analogy applies well in this situation. I do think Reddit is going to miss most of these people. Personally, I say good riddance, to these people and to Reddit.

That's the thing. Evolution has found a lot of molecules that provide immediate benefits with little long-term consequences (along with a lot that have long-term consequences too). The pharmaceutical industry just hasn't found t

I started out learning Perl. This was when 5.10 was the newest version which was pretty much forever ago. I just went to look up Perl 5.10 release notes, and they billed it as "the first major upgrade... in over five years." http

Have a little coffee for a quick pick-me-up. I just drink little by little till I don't need to any more. I try to keep the coffee to an absolute minimum, and save it till I'm really feeling lethargic.

I've seen those too. I don't care whether or not they have a filter (my water bottle does), but I do like that it just makes it way more convenient to top off the water bottle. Before, I had to tilt the bottle and that would mean

The funny thing is, the clock has a way of suddenly going a lot faster when it goes down to an hour left and you still have a lot of work to get done!
