Except the front page is frequently full of trash and racism and sexism is rarely more than a click away, and is frequently upvoted. Congratulations on your own curated Reddit, but if an online community has to be carefully curated by indiv

I.E.: Pinboard continues to exist, so why would anyone choose Larder? The Github integration is neat, but there isn't much difference between this and just pinning repos, or a Zapier + Pinboard/Pocket/whatever recipe to save

Ok, but the vast majority of users are content with "good enough" pictures, so even if you are an outlier, it doesn't really matter. And sickbeard's right that that's exactly what happened with everything else that

LeBron's a two-time champion in what's probably the best NBA, talent-wise, in the league history. He has won multiple MVPs and you could legitimately argue for him as MVP virtually every year he has ever played . There is no legi

Hahahahaha. Ok. Sure. You loved watching Jordan, but you dislike "egos and attitudes"? C'mon, man. Gettin' a little dog-whistle-y there. And the idea that Steph (or Dray) doesn't/don't have an ego or an at

That's a complete misrepresentation of the article's argument. It presents the rise of those practices as problematic when they are performed under duress, when the act is painful, or when there is a lack of reciprocity in sexual

Eh. The EFF sorta handwaves genericide there, but that's literally the exact reason why companies do this stuff, and it is a real concern. > This is very rare and would not be a problem for Canonical unless people start saying “Ubun

Not the OP, but for me, I'll be honest with you: no, I probably couldn't have. I was holding down a full time job, working part time elsewhere, and between two jobs, hitting the gym, and holding down something of a social life, I

Yeah, and "survivor guilt" wasn't explicitly mentioned because it was one of the over-arching themes of the whole piece.

Antiretroviral treatment is hard on the body even now, and the earlier versions were cruder and had more adverse side-effects.[1] It's similar to chemo in that sense. [1]: https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines/html&#

There're enough options that it can be overwhelming. It's hard to see the place to start, because if you're completely outside the bubble, it's hard to even know what the options are, or why you'd pick one of them.

How sure are you that you want to write code for a living? How much debt do you have? What kind of savings do you have? How many external obligations do you have? DBC was worth it for me; I moved to a new city, got a great job, didn't

I loved my bootcamp experience, am still plugged into the alumni network, am not ashamed of it (why would I be?), but I'm probably never going to write a review of it. I'm happy to talk to people about it, but I'm not going t

The counter-argument would be that that opens you up to catastrophic exposure when Snowden 2.0 releases the data.

I wish Apple would start pushing passphrases. Easy enough to remember, plenty strong, already usable with the current system on iphones.

Oh shit, what if they think there's something more important than their "brand"? That'd be terrible.

Also, it's really easy to reset a text string and rather difficult to reset a fingerprint.

I mean, I think we can make a decent guess. If Tencent came over to the US and offered free wifi, but it was limited to Baidu, WeChat, and QQ services, every tech celebrity in this country would flip their shit and the government would decl

That's actually kinda the wonderful thing about Twitter. It's a really quick and easy way to let everybody know what you're really thinking (i.e., it's a really quick and easy way to show your ass to the entire world).

I think that's why I find it particularly inexcusable. No company pulling in that much money, with that kind of tech muscle, should have a recommendation system that poor.

Amazon is the worst about this. "You just bought an ITEM_X, clearly you want to buy ITEM_X_CLONE as well." So stupid.

I think the problem originates in people using the system to solve their actual problems. Most problems aren't simple, and therefore demand non-simple answers. (Tangent: this is also why todo list examples for frameworks are so damn si

I liked MFP, but I do think it's gotten crappier in the last few months (possibly since the UA purchase? Not sure of the exact timing there). I just switched to LoseIt.
