This doesn't work at all for me. Something seems interesting to me (and my problem is, a lot of things interest me) and I start reading up on it, somewhere along the way there is something else that is referenced, which also seems in

Same thing at Times square during New Year's Eve. Almost no one looks at anything during that time directly, it is all through a camera lens. Which is fine, it is their choice - but it becomes super annoying when hundreds of flashes ar

Remember that iPhone app that simply said "I am rich" (or something like that) and sold a few copies for $999 before Apple pulled it down? It is always amusing to see the ridiculous things people would do to make themselves feel b

What about meat? Doesn't the animal industry also use insane amounts of water?

Does anyone know how such a thing was pulled off? I mean, it is not like taking a paper clip from office. This is mind boggling amount of information - how can someone copy so much info and send it to a newspaper etc without setting off r

The problem with greed is that it only takes a handful of players to ruin it for everyone. There are still good sites providing quality content and monetizing it responsibly and decently with ads - they will also get hit by ad blockers, as

Is there a open source, self hosted product like Slack? Edit: Never mind, others have already mentioned a couple, down the comments - for example, http://www.mattermost.org/

Any hacker capable of hacking slack would likely automate searching of interesting information too :) It is not like they are going to sit and read tons of boring chats!

This is very good advice. The only problem with it is - he will be spending enormous amount of time practicing, preparing for interviews, and end up learning stuff that he might never use in real life. Unless he gets a dream job, I don&#x27

Same can be said about Trump, McGregor etc? Do we really want these kind of people to "stay in the news and fascinate the world"?
