It's not theft. In fact, many companies are started this way. As long as they negotiate a contract that retains or licenses code use, they're good. Businesses do this to each other all the time. Why should Government be special? I

Reboot -- you make no sense. Private contractors are hired all the time by the Government. They did work, delivered something of quality, and got paid for it. It's not thievery at all.

While I don't enjoy this fact much, I can't help but vehemently dislike the author's clear bias here. Stuff like this doesn't just pop out of nowhere. It's very clear this is the start of a campaign against Hillary;

No way the price can be that affordable for those specifications; the OEMs would either be getting screwed or Xiaomi is making close to nothing on each machine. I would find the latter plausible if they weren't already set to dominate

Sometimes when I hold down space the reindeer jumps reliably and sometimes it just doesn't... needs to be perfect in order for high scores.

This is extremely interesting. Pretty impressive, actually. I wasn't expecting this level of quality. I see this as a great opportunity and industry in the future. I'm surprised Oculus themselves and Facebook haven't teased a

I never really agreed with the whole "ignore copyright law" approach. I think tech companies in our increasingly examined world need to stand for righteousness and integrity. The power of tech and ramping up of robotics is going t

This is sweet. What's your strategy to get less anonymity? I bet recruiters would go crazy for this, should the coder want the attention.

I dislike things like this. There are tons of FREE, valuable resources online about grammar and writing. Why pay for this book? There is no reason. There isn't anything special about writing for "creators" -- and if there i

Is it? I think it's a great way to test hypothesis for early-stage companies. For lyft, on the other hand... not so sure.

Not to mention the specific clause that states things must not only fall within the textual provisions of the document but also the spirit with which it was written.

This marks the end of an era for Zynga. It will be extremely interesting to see what they do from here... I'm bullish on the capabilities of the org if they can adopt the right high-level strategy.

Can you describe what was inaccurate about the description? I'm not familiar tbh, so just want some more information! That being said, I don't think Ehsan (author) is arguing for a stagnant system that waits for a perfect wheelcha

I don't know how to feel about this. I value justice to an incredible degree, but when she talks about the injustice of "firing someone because they disagree with you"... that's completely backwards. If you keep disagree

I love documentation that has humor, as long as it doesn't get in the way. What's special about the Make community as opposed to the Grunt or Gulp communities?

I'm personally glad they blogged about this. 1. It keeps me thinking about Tesla and gives them a chance to repeat the message of their reknowned customer service. 2. It's a warning shot to other lawyers or politicans drumming up

This all feels like the necessities of politics. What I see here is likeley what enabled Musk to navigate the political arena with such ease -- he continually does the right thing but isn't scared to throw a jab in the opposite directi

Exactly. Precedent is the foundation of the entire legal system. If you get one BS lawsuit based on dummed-up charges thrown out of court and show a history of working with customers, it will make all future similar legal cases much more di

I said this very clearly before and was downvoted into oblivion, but I think it needs to be said: This article advocates for some balance between flat design and skeumorphism. Granted, the article is written decently well, but it does not g

Amazing how you can corral your friends to go downvote any dissenters of your own article and get away with it. Grats on rigging the game, OP!

Looks like there is also a mobile app. I bet they built custom hardware for a couple reasons: 1. Custom hardware sitting around reminds you of Amazon and your ability to order. Having a new device feels more futuristic, which does seem logi

All of these images are quite annoying. If you're gonna write something, write -- media is sometimes a crutch.
