I realize this article is a tongue-in-cheek fan theory. However, it does make me wonder what Tarantino was up to with Pulp Fiction. The Ezekiel "quote" always bugged me because even without looking it up, anyone who spent any amou

This is one of the reasons that many argue for the legalization of prostitution. If there is a state-regulated market for sex workers, is is much easier to identify and prosecute sex worker slavery and exploitation. It also becomes possible

The Star Wars franchise has always had, at its center a story of hope and the eternal mythos of the hero's quest. TLJ has given us cynical deconstructionism in its place. What did they expect?

Not all incentives are direct financial incentives. It's free marketing. It increases market penetration. It encourages people who only use Chrome to try Firefox. It was absolutely the wrong thing to do, but it's not like they sto

The big unknown with this tax bill, is how the states will react. My adjusted gross income goes up substantially because of the elimination of the personal exemption, but my child tax credits offset this - but only at the federal level. How

Well, it lets me know I have to remind my users that attempting to download porn on the company network is NOT ok. I only wish I could put the title of the video in the all-company email. Even the title is NSFW. But it would scare whoever d

Most of these have nothing to do with git, but are true of any distributed repository. At that point, your argument becomes: distributed repositories are bad for business. Then there's this: > Graphic designers, writers, HTML/C

I stubbornly stuck with Mercurial for a long time because of the complexity of git's UI. But when one moves beyond a few developers, the available tooling and extensive ecosystem for git makes it inevitable.

It's pretty simple really. The price would drop precipitously and start a selling frenzy as people try to preserve their investment. Unlike the exchanges, you can't close down Bitcoin if there's a run on the "bank,"

No, you didn't understand me, sorry. I understood it just fine, but didn't explain myself well enough. The relative contrast at the point of curvature causes an aliasing effect in the brain where the line colors are (depending on

Come again? If that were true, then the clock would advance past the actual time of day 2 hour for every month (30.5 days to be precise). And that would mean that in 6 months, midnight would be at high noon. So...

This is not accurate at all because it does not include things like the per-child tax credit which has a dramatic effect on the taxes you pay.
