Obligatory Wodehouse quote "Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman’s gentlemen, not a butler, but if the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them."

The thing is that this guy clearly thinks some things that affect his ability to do his job. Would you trust him to write a peer review for a female colleague or mentor a black int…

I disagree, Uber for all its obvious faults has a top notch UX, I don't need to find cash, I barely need to break off conversation with my friend let alone speak to a person on the…

No, if everyone doesn't use Facebook then they have no power. My decision has, at best, a tiny marginal impact.

I had a lot of mileage avoiding row count actually in the sheet buy using an API to retrieve data directly when a user is interested in a particular record. Then the only think you…

"I (/my company) should be allowed to avoid my taxes because the government will just waste the money" Is a pretty antidemocratic sentiment. You may think it's inefficient but you'…

Ahh my mistake. I didn't realise that you could just retrieve a full list of users for a group (I just tried it and you can) I suspect this API may be fairly closely watched howeve…

From my reading of the article it seems like you had to be admin of the group in question because the exploit seems to take advantage of a bug with inviting users to that group. I …

I absolutely hate it as a term. It's an exercise in rebranding of an ideology and it's a pretty clever one as well. Alternative (alt) implies that they're somehow ideologically dif…

I'm talking to OP's specific point around siding with Trump. I think the point is that no body on my side understands what matters in terms of motivating the electorate.

I disagree that it's fear mongering and I don't think it's helpful to reasonable debate to call it that. I'm trying to understand what Trump wants to do by looking at what he has s…

I think you're right about the need for debate around how identity politics can be better expressed and that is a debate that seems to have been slightly suppressed on the left. I …

> Trump's accusations of Clinton being "a liar" and "a criminal" (IOW a typical career politician) were pretty harmless compared to the hyperbole (deserved or not) hauled at him I'…

The dangerous thing is not about policy or specific proposals but who is empowered. Ann Coulter will be treated as a serious policy voice now because she stood with Trump. See Brex…

I have some sympathy with this but I think people ignore a lot of the stuff which Google just gives away with some fairly light advertising. Think about navigating with Apple maps,…

I have a bit of an issue with their definition of a "Questionable" account. I mostly use twitter as a way to aggregate a stream of news from people I think are interesting and as s…

I also wonder how many Law enforcement officials are turning up at 39.8333333,-98.585522 because they're using a different geoip provider.

Tell that to all the working class EU migrants we have staffing our farms, building sites etc.

Stunning video. I don't know if it's the setting or the fast forward but the whole thing looked like a video game to me. One that I'd definitely play by the way.

It's certainly not entirely the governments fault. Airlines need to be strongly regulated with good reason and pretending that they don't lobby and campaign to increase regulation …

I'm not saying there isn't hard evidence for this but The Express is a not a reputable newspaper and it's articles should always be looked at with a very skeptical eye. In case tha…

Ditto, there's something very funny about the voice of god being so jaded and deadpan. My Fav: Tell a person you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something ou…

I very much agree with this. Maybe A/B test presenting your a simplified version of your product info in a language other than the user's browser language with a call to action to …

I think it depends very much on what you're trying to show. In the article the point he is making is that volume and average price have a roughly inverse relationship. As with almo…

Also indicative of Facebook as a product. Why don't we just share all of our stuff with everyone irrespective of if it negatively affects us? SHARE SHARE SHARE!!
