Oh man, I miss what so hard. Can't find anything comparable today. Those were the golden days, when I could find obscure albums that you couldn't even pay good money for.

I didn't pin the blame on them. I place it as a cultural issue.

This is a very short-sighted view. Yes it has some immediate benefit in terms of pay, but you have to consider the long-term societal tradeoff of not developing addictive mental ca…

This. I'd always assumed Zuck was like this, great to see some confirmation that my expectations for him weren't too low.

My point was that this isn't as significant as they make it out to be--comparing it to the transition to mobile is marketing BS.

Yes, he sure doesn't know a d n thing about jazz... Alice and Joe Henderson were doing great stuff in the 70's together too. Beyond the chaos of the late 60's era in jazz, there ar…

I came here expected here read: Don't use MongoDB, use your noggin you figure out which database you should actually use.

Sounds like all the bad decisions about who to hire (low cost, inexperienced workers) and who to fire (higher cost, experienced workers), how long to force people to work, overuse …

I agree but I didn’t want to say that as it seemed obvious (at least to me). Mozilla, a non-profit, which produces primarily a browser with currently a small market share, needs to…

I disabled everything from Pocket I possibly can when I downloaded and setup Firefox, in the `about:config`. That integration annoys me to no end. Who decided I needed pocket in my…

No issue with what you're saying here. The primary point I wanted to emphasize was that our application of regulations to the telephone system is not in line with whom I was replyi…

The issue is google doesn't care about they're users. As long as it's good enough to keep the data-gravy-train going.

I believe the issue was repeated stress causing tendons to tear in one leg and one arm. There have been reports that the machinery Tesla uses puts unnecessary strain on the body an…

Hey I don’t blame you for being skeptical, it’s the way of the internet. I don’t think media attention is what he wants as he is still attempting to work through legal recourse.

THIS IS FANTASTIC. I’ve had a friend, a specialist engineer doing failure analysis, who has been largely incapacitated from any work because of Tesla. He sustained an injury during…

I have two issues with this article. First, aren’t people going to be looking to pair up with someone in the same socioeconomic class anyway? That’s what we’ve mostly been doing ov…
