I felt that, overall, Sneakers holds up fairly well for the technology of the time and nowhere near as silly as Hackers. The article's only complaint on Sneakers is the universal key that breaks crypto, just American crypto per the mov

Anybody in such a position that says "never" to anything is either naive or they're protecting their current short-term interests. I'm willing to bet most of them say that for short-term reasons while internally they&#x2

From my point of view, no candidate running for President had any fiscal conservative views. Some of the them could talk-the-talk and spit out a few keywords to the media, but none of them really had it if one would look at them hard enough

Maybe they view that "helping themselves" is stealing from their children's future with unsustainable debt and taxes?

From my experience I would say that what you are describing at the end there is a full-stack developer. It's someone that works across the application stack, not setting it up to make use of it. Although many probably can, it's ju

My impression has always been the spammy feeling of it all when someone is not seeking employment. The apparent never-ending "would you or someone you know be interested in this position" spam that developers get. Personally, I do

Or, even better, they can have proper customer service since the problem was eventually sorted out which suggests it could have been sorted out with the very first phone call. It's not like resolving a billing problem caused by moving

That is in no way even close to the imagined situation that the response you are quoting is referring to.

Well, that can depend on the individual. I personally would buy the Vive just for the archery game in Valve's The Lab. If I could justify the expense, that is.

Because all we've heard about Hillary and Obama is how they'll put coal out of business. I'd be curious how a supportive news media didn't pick up the second part of that story.

My company provides such things as well, and I live nowhere near California. Just finished my daily free lunch and my desk actually looks out a window.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are suggesting here.

I agree, I place a great deal of responsibility on the news media for popularizing the circus mentality of the election cycle for profit. Trump saw it for what it was near the beginning and took advantage. Every time the news media focused

Well, for many of your examples I would say they fit both candidates, with small adjustments. So the only choice is to go with the one that currently states what the voters agree with. I'm always fascinated that people don't reali
