I have a lot of respect both for the artists that made this and for the scientists pushing boundaries forward in a way that was almost inconceivable a decade ago. That said, if anyone here works at JPL, I can't be (but feel like I am)

This is perfect. I love receiving notifications because it makes me feel connected, even if it turns out to be an advert and not one of my friends it will be a nice distraction. Then, Ill be able to browse all of the cool neccessary gadgets

This is awesome and a great way to get hired. Finding a company(or several) you really want to work at and targeting them specifically with a tailor made strategy is probably better than a shotgun approach. Best of luck to Nina.

I am not saying you're wrong. I was hoping there was a way to provide more security that I overlooked, however that doesn't seem to be the case. Most people likely use their dominant hand, probably thumb maybe pointer. In this thr

This is excellent news. Banks will spend time and money on hiring consultants and lawyers to patent meaningless buzzwords. If for some bizarre reason the U.S. doesn't reform patents by the time these patents are granted (a long process

> Now: Why do you think that is? And what can we do about it? I think we should invest in areas with lower median incomes and promote education and technology. Which I stated. I didn't say explicitly, but do believe, that we provide

My point is that we need more people in tech, and we do that by leveling the playing field at the education level. Asians studied sciences disproportionately relative to their representation within the us population. * I don't think we

I meant that the company does what is in its own best interest. It does publicly trade stock with voting rights as GOOGL which has a 1:1 share to vote. It does not allow the class B stock to trade publicly which is 1:10. I meant, and you co

To play devil's advocate, why is email shit? It is pretty much a way to send someone a document in the original way Berners Lee defined html which was essentially sgml. I get not letting people mail active scripts, but every large mail

The question is Who does google optimize for? As a publicly traded company, it optimizes for GOOG. I have nothing against google, but I do think there is not enough skepticism our fear about them eating the whole stack. * Receive gmail li

ok this is what I was really wondering. So Netflix can tell that you are using a commercial connection to access the service? Can they also tell that you are forwarding in the case of a proxy or something? That is what I don't get, bec

If you have a solid fundamental understanding of programming you can jump in to most tutorials. The problem is that many tutorials assume knowledge like this, which is good in your case, but bas in others. Someone suggested bootstrap below,

If yo use chrome, google has released an extension called personal blocklist which allows you to create just that. You may find, as I have, that blocking w3schools allows MDN to often become the first result and things get dont much faster.

Wow, this clears up a lot. Logistically, it wouldn't have made sense that the parent was implying most of the thread had gone to Buckingham Palace to receive wartime repreive in order to simply read this article. I was super confused.

It turns out that all that research suggesting the new font might be more legible was more due to the fact that older, worn signs were being replaced with nice, fresh, clean signs which were, naturally, more legible. That's not super

that is a good point as well. I definitely agree with it. The one thing I would add is that I repeatedly get update notifications on my iPhone. Due to the increase in lockdown of all features, I am legitimately afraid to update as the: * pr
