Yeah I don't understand why people are acting so hurt by this. If you want to be paid for something, don't make it open source. If you want to force users to keep the source open, …

Yeah, to use it effectively you use it for inspiration and generation of template code. The code may need a lot of changes or may need relatively few. But don't copy it expecting i…

Why can't they just stay profitable, pay dividends, and not really grow?

In this context Tribe is a federally recognized sovereign yet dependent nation. They have the ability to govern themselves but are still subject to federal law, but while on reserv…

AFAIK there are drug addicts all over the world, including in the Middle East and Philippines where drug addicts are met with severe punishments. The problem is IMO more the availa…

Yeah sounds like the people who bought it suck. Why would you destroy a pizza oven? It would add a ton of value to the house for the right buyer. If you had sold it to me I would h…

This happened to me too! After a day of dealing with the router crashing every 30 minutes, I finally updated the firmware and am hoping the issue is fixed now.

Why do you need to regret spending money if you don't use what you spent it on?

I'd rather focus on the environment and biodiversity, you can feel free to focus on humans.

Maybe she got nervous and her brain stopped working for a minute? Has happened to me when asked to explain something I've designed or code I've written at work and for some unknown…

My aunt is blind. Alexa is a game changer for her. She doesn't do a ton with it, but asking questions, getting news and weather, and accessing her audio book library are some thing…
