Very clever. Basically seems to allow the continuity, notification sharing, proximity and Apple Pay features of an Apple Watch or iPhone by slapping what is effectively an Apple Watch right into the chassis. Very little new functionality

Violence against Trump supporters? I watch live feeds from rallies on both sides. I've seen Democrats calling out to protesters and hecklers, suggesting that those protesters are wasting their time trying to gain support for their cand

I applaud you for standing up to those who would defend your rights as a gay man, asserting your strength of character and courage of conviction. I have nothing I'll to say about your choosing to support a candidate who gives you that

I'm sorry, I do not understand how Thiel or any other Trump supporter would be harmed if Sam or Paul exercised their rights to terminate their relationship with him. It would be an act of expression, would it not, to abrogate their par

That's an excellent point that I had not considered. The doling out of emails over time, segmenting them into topics (should a leak be editorialized?) and offering up what are essentially promotional teases for more data ... that doe

Right...I'm not suggesting they'd need to be bankrolled, just pointing out that it's not too difficult to make the same sort of argument about Wikileaks or Edward Snowden: that laws were broken. For the record: I think Gawker

I don't believe that the occurrence of an election is itself causation at work. The reason it seems that way, to me, is the same reason that abused women tend to step out of their shame when they see other women doing it, or when their

That's a slippery slope argument. The same could easily be said of WikiLeaks. Or Edward Snowden. So why are you making it here? Are you suggesting that Thiel should maybe bankroll the rendition of Assange or Snowden as well?

I did a lot of Cold Fusion back when it was owned by Allaire, and drifted away when it became what I felt was a DSL for bad Java. Even had a component I sold (for RSS parsing into CF Objects). It was the language of my first big assignment

JSX shouldn't be used to turn a component into a controller for child components. That's why I wouldn't want that kind of logic in there.

Yes, they do, because the baseline availability of dopamine and noradrenaline (it affects both of them) as well as 5-HT is considerably lower in someone with ADHD than without, though 5-HT doesn't have much of a role to play in attenti
