Because opening Apple stores in India isn't worth changing their whole production and supply chain. Ford, Hyndai, GM, Toyota are all car companies. They're used to dealing with local production requirements.

* Unsustainable population growth By 2012 the population of Syria had doubled since 1986, despite massive emigration. A huge chunk of the country was under 30. This lead to problems with employment, housing, water, food, etc. Which in tern

It always amazes me how techies swing from an extreme open borders position to an extreme xenophobia position the second the debate is about the city they live in.

It just sets of my BS detector. Some people will think it's OK to lie to get others to use their prefered coding style.

> use “++it” instead of “it++” Has anyone actually benchmarked this recently? It's such a trivial optimization for a modern compiler. I have trouble believing that they'll produce different code when the return value isn't

The thing is that there's already a huge amount of manipulation by billionaires. Read up on George Soros and Carlos Slim. Thiel funding a lawsuit against a website that specifically wronged him is so mild that it's just not worth

Yeoman.io is supposed to solve the 'getting started' problem. But the quality of generators varies wildly, so it's hard to recommend. You could probably build a tutorial around generator-react-webpack-redux.

It's very dangerous to talk to the FBI without a lawyer. Lying to them is a felony, and you can be convicted on the basis of what their notes say.

There's nothing odd about publishing something on Github without licensing it. For example, imagine you have an MVP for a failed startup idea. By throwing it up on Github other people can learn from your project. Potential employers c

The phrase "all in your head" is generally used to suggest that the problem is not real and person should toughen up and ignore it. Then it will go away. Plenty of people still think that about depression. It's not a helpful

My guess? Somewhere in the system there's some old tool that's passing user data as a text table. It has a header row. So the dev decided to throw out the row if it contained "user". After filtering, the program can&#x27

My suspicion is that philosophy is a dead field. Psychology and neuroscience are coming out with fascinating new results backed up by facts and studies. For instance Jonathan Haidt comes from social psychology, and his work on moral foundat

It seems like there's an easy fix... infer 'rel=noopener' by default on every https site that opens an http site. Or just don't allow http pages to redirect https pages. It would make scam pages much more expensive while

People were excited about JSON because there was a desperate need for a data format that wasn't overly complex and/or unsafe to parse. S-expressions just weren't up to snuff because there's no standard way to do key-valu

I'll never understand why some people insist on backslashes in paths on Windows. Windows APIs have always supported using forward slashes, using "C:\\path\\to\\file" is just an ugly mess.

The fundamental issue is fairly simple. Chavez was pushing a sort of ethnic nationalism for the mestizo majority. But his supporters just didn't have the technical skills to run an advanced economy. Instead of trying to fix that his g

Part of it could be accessibility. The body shape required to be a top cyclist isn't particularly unusual. Plenty of people could be top cyclists if they had the endurance. After many years of training cheating becomes more attractiv

The NFL really should have some kind of amnesty about past PED use so that sports doctors can share what they've learned with the broader medical community. It's actually incredible how NFL players can bounce back from serious in

I think that there is just a huge market for risky but non-crooked investments. Overseas markets are excellent for making money. Less regulation, lower salaries, etc. But the downside to a less overbearing government is that it's fairl

For an interesting contrast, in Canada the CBC (state broadcaster) the names of over 350 Canadians implicated but has decided not to release any of the names. They've turned the list over to the tax agency, but that's it.

Makefiles have some glaring issues that can't be easily fixed. The big one is that they break if there are spaces in file or directory names. Sure, you can argue spaces are bad practice. But they are common on OS X and windows. It&#x2
