I would add that these kinds of "Normal users click accept/next" are how "offers" on software gets installed. Case in point: uTorrent. Download and "install". You will, generally, get 2 screens that instal

The question: How much risk can you take? how much money do you NEED to live on? Can you move or are you stuck? I got my 2 year degree in programming at 30 and started at a $21k/year job (bottom of the barrel). I'm now making, 7 y

Government regulation and abuse has no part in the mess? To say "companies" have blame and "government" doesn't? That's... interesting... And Government may have helped get the ball rolling but they didn't

Because, by and large, I don't trust people? I love my country and for the most part trust the Government... but on the same token - you'd have to be blind not to see how inefficient they are compared to private organizations (IE:

Because the government should be trusted with that infrastructure/information and they won't become a bloated, red-tape laden mess? I think the majority of people agrees there needs to be changes in things... but putting "gov

I don't disagree... "us vs them" has lead to some great races (and Super Bowls). The problem is the extreme version that ends in Nuclear War. We can survive quite a few races - race to the stars. Race to solar. Race to the Su

Why not neither? The greatest danger to Civilization, in my not-so-humble opinion is tribalism. My country is better. My religion. My political philosophy. My color. My sex. My gender. And I'll riot and kill if you don't agree. Ca

The next question is... after the detachment, social awkwardness and unreal expectations... what happens when you add the constant drum beat of "He asked me out now I'm charging him with assault"? I'll be amazed if peopl

Economics of scale - many more TVs sold than computer monitors. Add to that the different features - higher DPI, refresh rate, contrast ratios, etc. Cutting edge features such as NVidia G-Sync and the similar feature from AMD don't com

Seems very similar to "4K is for programmers" which was written when 4k monitors/TVs had just been released. http://tiamat.tsotech.com/4k-is-for-programmers I, personally, own one of those TVs (Seiki 39"

I think you are focused on the style of dating (Quick hookups) where the person you are responding too is focused on the unique app feature that made tinder "Stand out" from the crowd (Swipe left/right). It's that app fe

That ignores honest situations where ED IS theft and Hot Coffee IS grift. Random examples: http://mentalfloss.com/article/63514/7-maddening-examples-em... There are examples of good uses of ED... but to say "

I doubt it's just "Stupid MBA's and military 'intelligence'"... We live in a post Snowden world. It only takes one mistake to have all your data out in the wild. I think attributing changes away from trusting e

Just like you forgot to list the counter-argument examples of remote teams being better. But seriously... I would expect there to be examples of both - Good remote teams. Good office teams. Bad remote teams. Bad office teams. And every shad

Well, when I say "single package" I mean provided by a single company. As in a complete package: Solar panels, batteries, etc. The full deal. I would expect the battery to be in the basement/garage/etc and not on the roo

I never said this company would "give" away the technology... nor do they honestly have to produce it themselves. That's what licensing agreements are for. I just think that if I was a solar company that could use my equipmen

What about those that don't get ruined... but get made successful? Sure some lose - and get crushed by the wheel of fate... but others win. Where else do you think the McDonald's and Outbacks come from? Remove the chance of gettin

No... the question is how easy will it be for "Solar" companies to slide into becoming "Solar & Battery" companies. Full solution - all with Silicon. If that's possible - and they can improve the cycle count...

Likewise... Personally, I think that the addition of tactile, flipping around, lack of distractions, etc... all the little bits add up to a more "immersive" learning experience from books. It strikes me as an offshoot of an articl

The problem is "higher employment/higher wages" with increased minimum wages aren't a given. Plenty of studies (and real world examples) show that higher minimum wages means fewer jobs - why pay a cashier when you can in

The problem is "we take care of people that need help" kind of ignores all of the jobs that were lost by off-shoring... How many manufacturing jobs has the US lost due to competition in an open market with countries that don'

I would take it a step further... the "other side" pretends that if you disagree on anything you are a "Traitor" (RINO! DINO! TREASON!!!). Can you be a Republican that's Pro-Gun Control and Pro-PP? Can you be a Demo

How is it fair? It's not fair that "Our" President puts "Our" needs first? I have no issue with other Presidents or leaders putting their citizens first either. What's not fair, IMO, is uneven playing fields: U

Maybe because of "lifespans"? People live for ~80 years... doing a 2-4 decade study isn't out of the realm of possibility. Computers on the other hand... While there are a few mainframes that live to be 10 years old - the vas
