    What does the number of buzzwords and frameworks on a resume matter? Engineering is so much more than that it’s not even worth mentioning. You’re comparison is on the easiest aspec…

    Consumers don't care about open source software and Amazon's competitive advantage is not their software.

    Well that's a lot of hyperbole, but who cares? So the incumbents suck; at least they're relatively predictable. Them being bad doesn't make the Pirate party good.

    Ok, but I'd like to also have _some_ idea of what I'mn voting for aside from being able to download movies for free and doing away with patents (also ridiculous on its face). I agr…

    So... you want to get into office based solely on media copyright issues and literally every other issue is "elect us and we'll figure it out!". Very hard to take seriously, good l…

    It is cool. We're all adults and can make our own choices. Few things in life are free of risk (you drive a car I imagine). If I want to do a damn stunt I'll do it. Should we also …

    Yeah Musk isn't exactly Rico Suave, but Zuckerberg is downright revolting to most people. He's robotic and comes off as an alien playing a human.

    Yeah but his "true self" isn't exactly something 99.99% of people enjoy. He's a robotic tool. Looks to me like he signed up for a "how to appear more human 101" course and now gest…

    If I found your wallet on the street with $1k in it I could just keep it, but that would be wrong, so I return it to you. Maybe you give me $50 for my trouble.

    I don't know how you can say this after looking at the state of android. Beyond that, my macbooks have _vastly_ outlived any Windows laptop I've ever owned.

    Forget the article; the Fed is currently targeting a rate of 0.00-0.25 as far as I'm aware. That's the same as 2008, which was the lowest target ever. >As of 30 October 2019 the ta…
