I'm not sure the desire to not want things to exist that other people are choosing to use. I don't like many romantic comedies, sure, but I don't then additionally desire they not exist altogether. I am capable of accepting

This becomes difficult to discuss in the abstract. In my experience, save() is a clear example of exactly why you want composition and not inheritance. When I am saving the B record, I want it to let the A record's save do its thing wi

In my experience its always really telling that there are no incredibly simple is-a relationships to use in inheritance justifications (as opposed to tons of goto real world examples for just about every other feature under the sun). Its al

This is a mischaracterization of the past 30 years. In the 1980s, American's really were told to drastically reduce their fat intake due to a misunderstanding of LDL. It remains recommended to only be 10% of your daily intake of calor

iOS 7 UI is significantly laggier than iOS 6 (I honestly do not understand how 4S users deal with it, its not fantastic even on 5S). Not to mention glitchier.

If you rent, you can leave whenever the heck you want and then go live wherever the heck you want. That's true freedom and to some people - myself included - worth every penny. Its really interesting the different things people value.

You are free to believe that the analogy is not sound, or that the comparison is weak, but it is silly to say that they did not set the comparison themselves. You should definitely take it up with them (which was part of the point of my pos

Yes, just like the current rules would affect all ISPs. Sorry if it wasn't clear that the law would apply to all payment processors and not be written to solely affect Stripe.
