    I don't entirely understand the linked chart here. But best I can make of it, has 1/4 the # of impressions as MSM and almost half the impressions for either partisan left or right.…

    It doesn't appear this app is trying to be a straight up Photoshop replacement. If that's what people are looking for they can go to GIMP. So I don't see how that answer specifical…

    Then your complaint is about Apple locking iMessage to Apple devices. Which is a legitimate complaint especially since Apple had said they would be opening it up (or was that FaceT…

    By that logic WhatsApp isn't free. I have to spend hundreds of dollars upfront to buy a phone, and worse, hundreds of dollars each year to maintain a phone line to use WhatsApp. Wh…

    That's what my employer also did. In addition to a lot of metrics on which they base performance and awards. In other words easily and frequently gameable made up numbers

    Even if that's the case, it isn't elitist to suggest we privilege cheaper modes of transport. Your scenario cannot scale by definition (used) Your scenario has no answer for the ex…

    The only people supporting nuclear are also on the left. Nuclear's demise has nothing to do with the liberals blocking it (if they were so powerful their efforts against coal and f…

    They can. Uber added nothing to market other than an app, which everyone was doing for every potential business at the time anyways. Their differentiators though were primarily the…

    Extreme cold that is abnormal.and consistently abnormal can also be reflective of the effects of climate change. It's only the people who think snow disproves it that think this is…

    It still doesn't make sense. If this is the better approach, then why isn't it the default. Why is it enabled (in a way that is extremely difficult to reverse) by copy pasting some…

    I think what was ridiculously through this entire process was Boeing blaming someone else. That's pretty much been the issue right from when it surfaced. Initially it was the bad p…

    Maybe because those who are asking for it to be broken up are not asking for it to be broken up to solve the problem that it is peppered with ads? Maybe they have other different c…

    Our company doesn't have laptops to give out to employees. Intel has really dropped the ball. I suspect, as the article suggests, that Intel will be using these chips to supply nic…

    We had 5 developers move to Canada. They are being paid far above market value because they wouldn't agree to drop down to Canadian salaries. Further, new hiring has shifted to Can…

    That sounds really strange to me. Even amongst major vim users and proponents I have never heard anyone say vimscript is good. Maybe I don't get out enough.

    It's funny because Google had a very different perspective when MS was the Monopoly we were worried about.

    Well when you take the words climate change literally and ignore what it means in context, yeah, you're absolutely right. But then you're also revealing yourself as a dishonest par…

    This looks really cool. I couldn't find any info on the site, but anyone know what sort of backup features are available built in? If there isn't anything built in, what are other …

    Just because a tool can be used for A, B or C, and you are an expert at using that tool for A does not imply that your expertise at using the tool for A makes you an expert in B an…

    Wait...nuclear accidents (e.g.s Chernobyl and Fukushima) are less dangerous than wind and solar? What sort of blatant BS is this.

    Comment #21500246

    Wind and solar projects are not coming in at 3-4x their costs anywhere. So the fact that they are simply simpler projects which rarely (never?) have massive overruns due to "bad pr…

    Why do we believe that Uber would be the beneficiary of autonomous cars? They aren't developing them anymore, so if Waymo pushes them first why wouldn't the Google Maps app simply …

    If the payments is the issue then MS chose a really terrible solution considering upgrades are free for the life of the device which is usually far greater than the cadence of paid…

    This is also exactly correct. The actual reason is that fossil fuels are highly subsidized in most developing countries, so the only impact this has is in reducing the subsidies pa…
