Sorry for getting all political on this but we need to stop associating success only with financial wealth. He is successful at amassing billions of dollars. From my point of view,…

Well if we didn't have an economy that makes us replace everything every year (an exaggeration but you get the point), we wouldn't care about the expensiveness. We already have goo…

So she lived in a nursing home for 10 years but still didn't let the guy live in the apartment? I know she had the right to it but come on...

> he outlawed private ownership of gold So if you buy gold in the US, you are actually renting it from the government or something?

I've seen this in an older version of NFS on PC. I can't remember which one it was (I think Underground?). The way they always caught up with me when they were behind was insane. I…

I dunno, I'd see it as the opposite. The bigger the scale the more cost effective it is to have more redundancy. I can't remember the last time Google search wasn't working or saw …

I was thinking the same thing. We need a permission system for websites. Preferably useable on a per-domain basis so I can disable those APIs on adnetworks' domains.

Hey, just FYI your links are broken - instead of http://www.sixtostart.com/onetoread/2016/senior-android-deve... (which works) they are http://www.sixtostart.com/onetoread/2016/sen…

By looking at that I'm thinking that maybe their spamming is the reason for the limit in the first place.

Exactly the problem the author is writing about: because of the way the system works - people are striving to make money, not value.

We could create a political body that is outside any of the countries. Everyone that agrees to be part of it will have to respect its decisions. Once this is setup the world will b…

Or 15MB out of those 18MB are the 100 ad libraries bundled in that serve weird/dubious ads at best.

> "Church of the Byte Savers" I like that. I see people preaching how we've become accustomed to large drive space and fast internet and we're just wasting it all out of laziness. …

I've been working as a programmer for more than 6 years now. I still think my best work is a graphical library I built in 9th grade in assembly to use with my Pascal programs in MS…

Or maybe they did start with the engineers. Maybe they already have some pretty cool technologies but they realised they don't know how to sell it all so they're looking for busine…

I've seen that before and I am so disappointed in the slow motion part. I wish I could see those bullets going one behind the other in a perfect 8 pattern.

I think it's a matter of taste or what you're used to. I find the first two examples clearer than the map/filter ones. Are map and filter more concise? Yeah but only in this case. …

They're pretty big in asian markets. When I was in Tokyo everything was set with yahoo as the homepage for some reason.

> After a certain number of orders I'm beating the system, and that's fun. That's only true if you would have bought those items anyway. If you wouldn't have then the system is bea…

You don't need to defend it, you know. That was the point the poster was making - that just because he had a subpar experience he shouldn't judge the whole country by it.

> You learn about Dijkstra, Turing, Fermat and Leibniz, but not Popescu or Iliescu Andrei Alexandrescu pops into my head and I'm sure I could find a few more if I thought about it.…

Static hosting for $5 a month seems too high. If it would be $1 I might use it. But for $10 a month you can get a good VPS that you can use for any hosting needs (including a gitla…

Sigh, found one with 128GB RAM for $390. I say great, I might actually think about this. Then I look at shipping cost - $2000...

I'm also thinking that in the case of rule 2 or 3 you could also have an oscillation that has a frequency close to or equal to the acquisition frequency.
