I wonder how hard it would be to determine the reliability of using extraneous punctuation as a signal of unhinged prose.

I've never understood the drive toward some notion of commercial-free purity the gaming world seems to embody. Is it due to the heavy teenage boy presence that underlies so many other unsavory aspects?

The endpoints in question are not typically used by humans driving a browser, so these objections don't seem applicable.

I can only imagine being frightened by this if I held a large stake in Google. Do you have a different reason?

I imagine it would be easier to accept your assertion of anti-competitive behavior if it weren't trivial to completely ignore Apple for your phone needs, or if there were some sort of Constitutional right guaranteeing you the Apple pho

I have this weird dream, and I am well aware it will never come true, that people will learn how to aim their political anger correctly. There's enough of a problem to be solved and we don't need people muddying up the view of it

Yeah you can tell the Trump-Russia connections are not a quixotic quagmire by how the stories continue to be filled with weasel words and spend 100% of their column inches not presenting any evidence at all.

It is a point of view that can only be held by people who feel like their opinions on how Apple should spend its money are valid, which is utterly ridiculous in every way that isn't imaginary.

It's important to use feelings to divide people into classes, because that's one easy way we can justify hatred and dehumanization for ourselves.

But you're incorrect, and the word "instead" in your original post is what makes you incorrect. We did get "Shakespeare to the masses" for whatever that's worth in general. It's not like his work is some o

Mostly off-topic, but I'm curious, do you believe "fake news" is both new and also a real problem?

Your edit makes me wonder if you realize consciously that your rant is completely orthogonal to net neutrality even with your epplanation, and you're just doubling down on deliberate unawareness as a strategy to avoid feeling foolish.

Viewing the investment as insignificant because the investor has more money is a seriously foolish perspective that ought to be fought against instead of expressed

That was true a decade ago. The tooling has caught up in most languages, so it's trivial to embed your SQL in application code and use it in an environmentally independent matter (eg to invoke in unit tests), provided you take the few

We all want things, but I sure as shit don't care what giant, rich ad corporations want from my computing equipment. Their needs aren't important to me at all, even though they currently subsidize the garbage fire that is the mode

That's actually a pretty great argument that software patents are a good idea for the US, it prevents foreign copycat competition from soaking up the market on us.

I'd love to remind the author of the original headline (it appears to have been changed) that there's a huge difference between not understanding something now and knowing you'll never understand it.

This is not really a contradiction. Automation will indeed replace humans in millions of jobs, low-paying and otherwise, but until that process reaches a critical tipping point, we still have a country to run.

Nope. Especially since many of us don't have piles of irrational hatred for it.

it's important to note, (western) government decisions already are algorithmic. We simply aren't privy to many of the steps involved, and our ability to influence outcomes is limited by the elitism of representative democracy and

Do you have a belief that politicians somehow do know these things well enough to make decisions across this spectrum on your behalf?

What in particular makes you feel ill about this? What is the strong emotion that affects you so upon reading of the wealth of a person you will never meet? Normally when people say this, their tone makes it evident they are envious, but th

I'm an Eagles fan and I did not know this. I used to end up spending time with an amazingly annoying Jets fan, this would have been a fun tidbit to bring up repeatedly.

Your lifestyle is being subsidized by the negative externalities your transportation causes that you don't pay for, so it's not a great argument against advancing technology, because your comfort only matters to you.

So let's stipulate you are correct. What does it matter? You've made some noise but shed no light at all.

Then stop writing important code that can cause me harm when inevitably easily exploited because of that freedom, please.

An apparent life lesson for Mike Judge: if you posit a bunch of "scary" stuff and associate it to stupidity, people will feel smart about being scared of the stuff even if it's implausibly ridiculous because it's in serv

Sure. Many of us don't have any need to leave America at all.

I'm having a hard time drawing a connection between your opening sentence and literally anything else in your post. Did you forget to factor in the passage of decades?

If you aren't aware, there is abundant outdoor activity including water recreation in the bay area. You seem to think we have to stay in the valley
