This reads like a political hit piece. The author uses anecdotes from a handful of people involved to predict the future and say that there won't ever be 13K employees. Based on that prediction of the future, they surmise it was &quo

I was literally just talking about this with a friend last weekend. We were discussing if blocking ads was in effect stealing content from the people trying to monetize their content by running the ads in the first place. I said "I w

The powerful groups in EvE will also require that you have at least a year worth of skill points before they'll take you. A literal real life year worth. Not kidding. Skills level up in EvE even while offline, and there's not way

Still very poor hardware decode support. What good is saving a few GB of HD space if your phone runs out of battery 3x as fast because it's having to decode in software?

As if Apple isn't a big enough threat to tech by designing their software to be incompatible with everyone else's hardware, now they want to spam technology patents on a PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. This is a horrible idea and only serv

I consider not having to write an app in Swift/Metal/Whatever Apple crap and different app in Java/NDK/whatever Android crap to be pretty "beautiful". That said, I use Xamarin instead of this.

Sweden also has a 25% VAT (sales) tax on just about everything you buy there. After they rake hard from your paycheck they rake hard again when you spend what's left.

Agreed. Even the most zealous socialists aren't suggesting UBI handouts could replace healthcare insurance.

That's a good point, the US population of people 18 years or old is ~252 million, so if you only gave people 18+ a UBI handout, you'd cut your costs to 7.862 Trillion dollars per year.

About that "free" healthcare in Sweden, etc... If you make $60,000 here in the USA, you can expect to pay about 22% in taxes ( https://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/tax-brackets.aspx ) so ~$12,600. You mo

Here's my best argument for why UBI can't work in the USA. Let me know where i went wrong: My TV told me a "living wage" is at least $15 (but probably higher in liberal controlled areas like NYC / most CA cities &#
