For hackers, pants are not so incredibly useful. However, I'm guessing this company is not targeting computer professionals as their target market. If you're doing long distance cycling or you're a backpack/hiking kind

Obviously one can also make that same argument for electric cars like the tesla, or SSDs when they were first released. The intel X18-M 80GB SSD was $700 when it was first released in 2008. New tech always starts out with low demand and h

I don't think decrim feeds crime syndicates. California has had decrim for cannabis for a long while now. Dealers can't really make money selling cannabis because it's already so cheap at dispensaries. Most of these dealer

I don't see how legalizing drugs would cause the country to enter a shit hole? The people who buy drugs now can already do it via SR or other marketplaces, but legalizing it would significantly reduce crime. There are other countries

I just don't understand how a company the size of Joyent would waste time writing blog posts about pronouns in a code comment. This would be the equivalent of Microsoft blogging about some engineer's code comment in the Windows s

If you read the github thread, you'd see that Ben actually never participated in the drama/discussion until it blew up. Ben essentially rejected the pull request, then a giant PR nightmare blew up overnight with blog posts from J

I feel like there must be others who share the responsibility. There's no way a single chemist could be the source of 34,000 convictions. Since they found a second chemist tainting the results at the lab, I'm guessing the entire

Yeah, based on the email content from the prosecutors, it looks like they were in on it too. How does a 50lbs package of marijuana magically become 80lbs as requested by the prosecutor? It sounds like the entire system is corrupt.

Hm, at what point is hardware separate from software? When you write some C code that gets loaded on the Attiny85 chip, is that still considered software? Many SoCs come with the firmware already loaded so it just looks like a normal cpu

It is rare to "brick" your PC by installing linux/windows. Phones are different because their input/output interfaces are limited to a single usb port, and in many cases that usb port doesn't even support host mode

Background check? They don't need to do background checks on a coworker. I'm sure the judges knew exactly which team members worked at Salesforce. One of the team members worked at Salesforce for 9 years, which is probably a lo

They already have a huge advantage since they already know exactly what APIs Salesforce offers and how to use them. Most people going to the hackathon have probably never seen the Salesforce API in their life until that day. It's sim

Too late for that, unless they find a 3rd party judging group. There's no way people will think salesforce is being fair on the 2nd round of judging.

When a doctor misinterprets the results, it can be mentally destructive for everyone, even if you're completely stable. When my dad's doctor told him he had cancer, it completely changed all of our family gatherings. Thankfully

Well, it's a news article. The goal of the journalist is to get people to read it. It would be a less interesting headline if it forced people to do the conversion since many people still do not yet understand BTC. Putting both valu

jf does know the word lens founder, but then many people here in the bay area also know Octavio -- he's a super cool "always positive" person. You'd probably like him if you met him.

Hmm, never encountered this issue before. I've been using the TM/netatalk mechanism for at least 3 years now, and I'm still using the same sparsebundle from 3 years ago. I'm not using a raspberry pi though.

1 day? I think it was mentioned in OP in the form of 0.1bc/day. If someone big like cnn.com integrates this js code, you might make $20 a day. I still think adsense has better pay with that many viewers. One would need 5 million vi

Isn't your conclusion a bit of a stretch? Anyone who is a pickup artist is an asshole, and every asshole doesn't tip? Tynan is actually a pretty nice guy if you meet him in person. If I found an asshole that does tip, would that

Maybe Google can offer a new standard? POP & IMAP are pretty ancient protocols so I can see why they may have to introduce protocol modifications.

Yes, but you can't send your friend the surfly link. You have to ask your friend to also install the addon before you can collaborate on the same website. Extensions are cool, but not practical in the real world scenario.

I don't remember the exact details, but I don't think that was DPR's mistake. I thought he had ordered some fake passports that were intercepted.

Law enforcement would rather go after the vendors than buyers. There are probably too many buyers for officers to deal with, and they would have to make all the arrests simultaneously. In meat-space, they arrest buyers so that they will r

It's stuff like this that causes site owners to require a captcha or throttle based on IP. Anyone can create 5000 fake accounts with a script, so there's nothing too original here. Based on the blog title, I thought they might&#

Seems like the frontend developers who are told to never use onclick= handlers have never used a more advanced UI framework before, like Apple's Interface Builder for example. In more advanced js frameworks like Ember.js, all the clic

Unlike Apple who sells direct to consumer, it's likely that quite a few of those Surface units are still sitting on store shelves.

Those boxes are small, but not exactly good looking. There's a plethora of companies releasing these compact form factor PCs. They also all look practically identical. Newegg has a category specifically for these form factor machines

For most big events, it would seem like kickstarter has the right model and not eventbrite. I'm sure the event organizer would rather use kickstarter to gauge demand, and not worry about floating the costs of the event. Maybe there&#x
