I'm not sure what Zuckerberg can do to combat the virality of Trump, I have some suggestions, which he may not like but he'll need to do: * Ban Trump from Facebook (co-op with Twitter to ban him there also) * Flood Facebook with a

He must've known that he would have been marginalized as a candidate if he didn't continue to project brazenly offensive gaffes into the political arena.

It is precisely an either/or because it has made $8B in profit last quarter. Apple as a massive company must make thousands, hundreds of thousands of tiny decisions to make it's business more profitable. Investing in iOS attracts

It's not really important if the community is ambivalent on using it. Who here opts for using custom elements (and the extra work) over a library like Vue, React or Angular? Is there even a consideration on how these new features becom

To be fair, iOS 11 is only a couple of weeks from being adopted from hundreds millions of people. Our community isn't as proactive in testing against unreleased software as the native iOS community. :disappointed_face:

Oh look, the 21st century looting of Africa for its resources. Just to think so many materials extracted from the continent and now sand. This poor continent keeps getting jacked.

I think this can apply widely across the animal kingdom. Only a certain amount of workers can be effective once a level of productivity is achieved. Operating at full capacity might not be possible or evolutionary effective in this environm

If anything, these journalist are incredibly misinformed and shallowly invested in the issue (they do love clicks though). There's not a sentence about the power usage of browsers, performance on mobile browsers, the mass amount of API

Honestly, there are so many libraries out there that abstract away issues like this. By building an app from scratch, custom rolling logic, you automatically opt-out of the good tools that negate all of the tiny differences in browsers. I&#

Web fragmentation, unfortunately is built in to our community, but my hope is that we won't ever see an era of fragmentation like the HTML5 era. I'm okay with Chrome-isms, as long as they're not too radical.

No. Especially since Trump is a master at projecting emotion on a mass scale. Zuckerberg could not rely on photo ops and videos to convey an emotional message when Trump is going to be shouting to audiences of thousands. He should just sit

I hold a contradiction over Zuckerberg. He would work harder than most to understand issues, fundamentally transform government to embrace tech, and also have a very powerful platform to reach out to voters directly. However, given all of t

A few bugs don't really make Safari the new IE. There will always be bugs and differences with rendering engines, that is the price of competition. However IE was a completely different class of shit sandwich that inflicted horror onto

The city tries certain efforts to fix homelessness, no one will ever go hungry or unclothed, but the way they spend money to fix the problem is sometimes asinine. They built a new shelter complete without running water or bathrooms [1]. At

The smell is unbearable not to mention having to be on edge because it’s very likely someone might touch you or come right up to you and start staring, begging, screaming at you.

The first part of your comment is correct, that is very much true. I hope though that no one ever turns to expose their back to the assailant to make a run

If we had less rules, we could make it happen. More industry standard regulation, then things could evolve much more naturally and not have to be lobbied for all the time.

In a darker aspect, it seems the gov’t values the lives of their citizens so little that they can’t be afforded modern technological gains. The rich of India will sure experience it, as they travel abroad.

And it ensures that the economy is based on time and low pay rather than valuable skills or invention. It removes the incentives to innovate in areas of life that are time consuming but have lots of workers.
