Maybe Ponzi schemes?

Man do I ever hate the word "stunning" in headlines.

Sure, in the same way that the trigger doesn't kill anyone, it's the bullet.

Their pricing page doesn't have any pricing. It shows three tiers, each one without a price, and when you click to "learn more" it asks you to fill out your personal information. I'm not impressed.

When that “carpenter” is also answering the phone and doing quotes for work, apparently. If Henry is also the community manager and main fundraiser (which from the sounds of other posts he is), I’d argue that the last thing you’d want him s

I think it would have to be "Still Solving the Gas Crisis".

When the Feds catch up to them, Dennis and Mac are loading frozen beef in to the back of his car and are legitimately confused by what the cops are saying. They moved past the virus several weeks ago and have had literally dozens of plans s

Tri-tip and beer? If you have any friend-slots open I'd like to apply. :)

My reply was too harsh, and I regretted it after. Sorry about that. I agree that it is the parent's job to protect them. I just don't think it's fair that multi-billion dollar companies are allowed to do things that make my j

This lame excuse is as infuriating as it is erroneous. If I hand your child a gun and drive them to a school and help them squeeze the trigger as I use every psychological trick to coerce them in to killing their peers, is it my fault or yo

Are technology companies immune to all social responsibility? It sounds like you think they might be. But can we not think of a scenario where that would not be true? For example, if Snapchat makes a filter that detects blood and "coun

I live in the suburbs, and that lifestyle is more or less impossible for my children. Everything is a car-drive away, which means that everyone drives which means that cars are everywhere. It's the opposite of a virtuous circle.

I think there's a lot of truth in your comment. I mentioned this elsewhere but as we hang out with the same people, our interests begin to align. This is what has always happened in the past and will hopefully happen again once we&#x27

I hear this too. But I think that making friends is about diversifing your interests and theirs as well. Humans in frequent contact with each other tends to move towards alignment.

Kids make it tough, for sure. I can't plan time for get togethers because I have to take kids to activities every evening. They're well socialized and I'm a hermit. But I'm starting to push back against the parenting ind

Rugby Union is a shining example of sport done right. Everyone other sport would do well to take a long hard look at their processes. I used to love ice hockey and then football (soccer) but now the only sport that I can watch without getti

And it was still better than the dumpster fire that was Skype for Business. I loved how it would push a message to the device that it thought you were active on, but that there wasn't a centralized storage of messages. Messages sent to

I appreciate this comment. I spent 4 hours updating-deploy-test-repeat with GCP last night trying to track down a couple of niggling errors and it was a nightmare. I'd have killed to be able to step through it just once with a debugger

My network login has become progressively simpler as I have been forced to change it. I use KeePass and unique/random 20 character passwords for every website that I log in to. But not for work. It used to be "Quite hard and very

Right. I definitely try and do as much testing locally as I can, but it still often takes me 10-20 updates to get everything working (missed an environment variable, permissions different in the cloud, blah blah blah). That’s usually a coup

This response surprises me. I find Google Cloud Functions to be orders of magnitude worse than Lambdas. Everything that you deal with in AWS with the added bonus that instead of taking 5 seconds to deploy it takes 5 minutes. I would love to

My friend, thank you. I was angry, and perhaps unjustly. We need passionate advocates for children. I was, too angrily, advocating for the parents. Let’s go together into a better future. (I’ve been drinking Prosecco)

Your comment enrages me. Parenting is a full time battle against both the will of your children and the marketing spend of billion dollar companies. I worry myself sick and drive myself to exhaustion trying to raise sane and happy children,

I generally agree with you. I think a better solution would be reputation-based. An account created 4 seconds ago that posts dozens of videos that people generally find distasteful should wallow in obscurity. Still there? Yes. Findable? Yes

I agree with this. Colemak is a skill. Qwerty is a skill. Switching between the two is a separate skill. But all 3 can be learned.

That’s odd. I would have sworn the flying car problems are technical (failure scenarios, power to weight ratios etc.) and while maybe currently legal absolutely not social.

I have always used Gesturefy to make right-click and drag down to open in a new tab. I don't know where I originally picked up this gesture...maybe Opera in 2003? But I've always loved it and use it a hundred times a day.

I hate this. I hate how it looks. I hate that it tracks me around the room. I can't explain this hate. It's just my visceral reaction.

I agree with much of what you say here and I think it would be an improvement. Personally, I still wouldn't use a tracking-less Facebook because: 1. I don't trust Facebook to not track me. When I left Facebook for good in 2014 it

Did it eat Sublime Text's lunch and dinner because it was open sourced? Or because it had the muscle of Microsoft behind it, a company with limitless resources and a long history of muscling in on other people's turf?
