Are we talking about the "gay marriage" kind of gay marriage, or the "exposing people to the single biggest threat to life and limb, without telling them that you don't have insurance" kind of gay marriage? Either w

No, you are perfectly happy to ignore the democratic will of the people when it leads to policies you dislike.

You make a convincing argument. We need to strictly regulate gay sex on public roads, and in all other places where it might endanger innocent bystanders. While we're at it, let's tax gay prostitutes who use our tax-funded public

It's just not economically viable to scale your architecture to day-one or week-one traffic requirements. Look at Blizzard games for comparison, a new release every year or so and they're NEVER equipped to handle it. They know tha

It's interesting as a thought experiment, but it assumes that all decent plumbers would be conducting their business in a Chinese-owned Crytocurrency (Bitcoin), via a website registered in Libya (ly) and hosted by the Russian mafia, ra

The Jew of course is a red herring in this case. You'd be a fool to believe that globalists care about the common middle class Jew in the streets, while they are importing their latest wave of cheap labour from some of the most rabidly

There are a few "true" FM radios hidden in there, but each works only on select devices, and most of them require root access. Just a fun trivia fact ;)

Given only those two options, I prefer the world where the homeless guy has a place to sleep. I also prefer a world where the bus is half an hour to an hour late because the drivers are striking over one where the driver has no rights.

Which is never going to happen, because the current system allows Facebook to keep charging companies for continued access to customers they've already engaged.

It's a positive feedback loop, constantly reinforcing itself. There's an interesting video on this[1]. The gist of it is such: Nothing gets people sharing an idea like anger and fear. And the clickbait "journalists" know

On one hand, the average user will never update his software unless you literally force them to. On the other hand, your free upgrade to Windows 10 is ready. Would you like to install it right now or later tonight?

Separatist sentiments are on the rise all over Europe. Unless the good folks in Brussels are willing to seriously rethink their role in shaping international policy, and potentially give up a lot of power, this whole project might very well

Google might not kill Android outright, but there are huge parts of the API that depend on their proprietary software. So far they haven't abused that power much. If they decide to change the their terms, you want to have an alternativ

I suppose it depends on whether you think of PayPal as a payment processing company that just so happens to prefer keeping your money on their internal accounts indefinitely rather than paying out ASAP like most competitors, or as a pseudo-

That might work, as long as you don't ever need to read the data you've just written (logging?). Otherwise you'll end up serving stale data that might be several minutes out of date.

by zyx321 10y ago
For most of their existence, PayPal have been living the "shady questionably-legal startup" dream, operating in a heavily regulated industry while ignoring almost all of the regulations. They've been screwing over their custo
