Bought by a venture capital firm in 2011, quality and revenue have been falling since. Jenna Lyons (the reason jcrew style had a real style) left in 2017, there have been other big departures since. They’ve been on the bubble for a while, c

This can’t happen (in the United States) until there are alternate ways of making a decent living for normal people who can’t self-teach math and programming skills. College is a mandatory job “certification” for a lot of office and other t

I had a very intense 6 person class learning Russian 12 hours a day for three months. One of the most incredible experiences of my life.

Repeating the same thing you just said in response to an argument is not an argument. Encryption is not changing content, in fact it's the only way to prove that the content was not changed from the version google indexed vs what your

Are you asking how to design a custom hardware raid controller, then tune it to match the performance characteristics of the specific NAND chips you have? Seems outside of the range of most people's abilities.

I think you could argue it already has a more general name; individual self interest. The peak headcount you’ve managed or directred has a pretty direct impact on the level of manigeiral roles you are in contention for.

That’s what I would call the spiritual or religious definition. It’s followed by the philosophical followers of capitalism (economics majors and similar). The practical definition of capitalism is studied by the operational practitioners (b

Still proprietary, but compiles to AMD and x86 now as well as nvidia.

Off by a factor of 10, $840 a page. I think you make a compelling argument but I’d rather see some data comparing costs of similar projects.

You see I disagree with your fundamental premise, capitalism is a means to amplify creation of money and wealth inequality which is a bad thing, but people sometimes use it for good to help each other.

Politics and economics are inseparably connected.

There isn’t a charity in existence that could’ve provided even close to the amount of support needed to support major parts of the world (2.7bln in quarantine) population to date, to say nothing of what they will need in the future. Governm

This was the standard conservative argument for a long time: HSAs and non-comprehensive insurance. It’s just what conservatives have been saying for the last 60 years (only give benefits that have meaning to those who already have money), a

The thing is most people don’t use Macs or even personal computers for that matter anymore. It’s never been about a massive appeal product, it’s about meeting people’s needs. I think Apple remembers the good old days when they got rid of th

My wife’s HP laptop has a spring loaded full sized jack that pops out. It adds no thickness and the laptop cost $300, there’s no ethernet jack on the Mac not because they can’t but they don’t want one.

HP laptops use spring ethernet port too, even very cheap ones.

I’ve had the same experience. Using windows and linux now, it’s shocking but windows has been a pretty good experience for getting work done.

This is a legislative/governmental issue not a technical one. In jurisdictions where privacy and anticompetitive laws are enforced (EU) regulators have the ability to regulate with fines of real consequence which is not the case in the

We are living in strange times. If your credit is good, most automakers are offering no interest loans and also not doing the normal trick of making the no interest loan price higher to cover the spread. Very desperate to sell cars.

>Lawmakers don't have any actual power This is not true at all. Congress controls the purse. CBP can ignore all they want, but they would probably be more pliable if they were not getting paid. Also "...all civil officers of th

I’m not sure where that belief came from because it absolutely does. Software compositing, so you’re limited to what is practical but that’s very useful for a lot of things.

I agree and I also subscribe to what I can. The only problem for us is, like others are saying, I don’t think our subscriptions are enough money and I don’t think it’s feasible financially for enough people to do so at the level needed to k

I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong but one way of thinking about it is like this: People buy shares not because they think netflix is worth more than disney, they buy shares because they think that the shares will go up in value. It’t

That’s not what’s happening though. This is a negotiation tactic. They want you to think that compliance demands of the court has made are unreasonable. If that is so, what other shipping companies or other large essential firms are also ha

I have the exact opposite opinion. Don’t take my word for it, grab any Apple phone made in 2017 (worth about 99 bucka today) vs any entry to low mid ($100-400ish) android and the iphone will kick ass in most regards. I long for the freedom

Sensory adaptation. It’s why your house smells weird when you come home from a long trip, or why people with horrible smelling breath often have no idea.
