Timely example, given the Back to the Future craze of the past 24 hours. In the third movie, when Doc Brown is explaining the customs of future residents of Hill Valley, one of the people listening him exclaims, "Run for fun?! What the

It's only 24 options and you can filter by what you want to the left of the product listings. Each filter cuts your number of choices by more than half. Who gets paralyzed with this??

Too many choices may be stressing, but I think you lose out with too few choices too. If you need a specific size monitor to fit a space and the one monitor Apple has does not fit that space, you are SOL. As other commenters have noted, thi

Do you mean a backdoor into a sub-only revenue model for YouTube? You already had to pay for a Play Music subscription. The only part about it that was free was radio mode.

I have to agree with the author here. In the promises example and the callback example, you end up declaring three functions. When you break all the callbacks into the same scope like the author did in the callback example, you end up with

Can't wait to see one, if it lives up to the hype. Up till now, they have only revealed a tiny new part of their technology while emphasizing all that they have revealed before. To me, it seems like they are waiting until they need new

You already could play a lot of YouTube videos with the screen off, or with the YouTube app in the background. This app would come in handy for the music videos which Google apparently is not allowed to play in the background.

Alan Kirman seems to have a contemptful view of Hayek in general, judging from this article: >he wasn’t very consistent in his views >actually he was a horrid man >but he was extremely bigoted, he was racist Was he trying to imply

It seems you just have to put in a long career and know all the right people. It also seems that it's the NSA doing all the high-tech work now anyway.

It's plain negligence. Unfortunately, in this political climate it's not favorable to punish a high-ranking government official over mishandling their emails, even if said email is used to transmit sensitive information.

People can be persuaded otherwise. They had no problem drinking tap water until water bottle sellers told them otherwise. Additionally, desalinating water provides more water to go into the water recycling process, without needing to wait f

Not sure MGM Grand and Caesars would swoop in so easily to replace them, as both have filed for bankruptcy recently.

They are actually coming down in price quickly. When I first read about them they cost at least $2000. Saw them in the mall the other day for $500.

I don't think a planet would be an inefficient way to make real estate. Look at the benefits we get from living on a planet: free gravity, free protection from UV radiation, free life support, huge storage of water. I would assume that

Well, if we can make up incentives then we can come up with scenarios to make anything look bad. Let's judge public equivalents: Prisons - the US has the biggest prison population in the world. Private prisons are becoming a more lucra
