Isn't that the norm? My career history is journalism (producing TV news). The vast majority of jobs I apply for never reply. Not so much as an automated or form-letter "thank you".…

I think that's reasonable. If my watch could do everything my phone could do, I'd rather wear a small watch than carry a larger phone. Then again, I'd prefer glasses over a watch.

Agreed. The guy really seems to "get" things, which is always great to hear about an artist whose work you enjoy. In addition to being a great album Wu-Tang Clan's album Forever wa…

While a surprising turn to me that he ends up at Facebook... I think a lot of people forget that id Software sold to Bethesda in 2009. He's known as one of the most independent gam…

I think people have reasons. I think their hesitance in relation to Facebook is not completely unwarranted. Mostly people are exaggerating anything I'm worried about, but, hardware…

Consider that id Software sold to Bethesda about four years before he left it. He's a proponent of openness, yes. But he's been as much employee as employer since 2009.

I first noticed the approach on The Verge and their sister site Polygon, and was okay with that. Cut to now, and even a local TV station does it. (Not that local TV stations are kn…

And in the same vein, while I'm not defending those who put their entire life savings into Bitcoin, to put their entire balance into an online wallet strikes me as the worse way to…

>* It's trivial to point out all the ways some existing system is broken and how much better it could be given a imaginary greenfield to recreate it. Yeah, it is literally the same…

Any interest in the thought of Bitcoin (currently) as only 30% currency, and 70% commodity?

>No, it's a Netflix subscription, so when they drop your kids' favourite shows you have fun explaining corporate politics as the reason they can't watch Bob the Builder any more. I…

Out of sheer curiosity, and anyone can answer, what would you imagine the tent poles of one to be?

There is no truth to the idea that ants are being sent to prison. That was the snarkiness in the comment. One can understand and agree with a sentiment (that sending those scientis…

I wouldn't consider a private recording a "Big Brother" thing. It's when recording is mandated and that you have no choice in sharing it, that it becomes "Big Brother"-ish. Persona…

This is going to sound cheesy, but, what do you normally do in a day? Where do you go or what do you do that may seem mundane to you, but something wildly different to others?

It has been done! In particular a look at the "quack" that Coulton used in his version (instead of cussing like Mix-a-lot did): http://geeklikemetoo.blogspot.com/2013/01/about-that…

For the record, I was completely unaware of this; thanks!

Well, Valve owns Steam, their publishing arm/store/DRM. And like EA now sells their games with their online store/DRM "Origin", Valve does the same with theirs, Steam! Yeah, they g…

I think people (myself included) took your initial inquiry as sarcastic because you didn't so much as ask if it were possible as ask where it could be done. The wording kinda to pr…

I've always heard the phrase "ignorance of the law excuses no one". Now, should it? In many cases maybe so, but we all know the obvious cases where it probably shouldn't. But to as…

I often include a link to my profile in emails with the idea that if the person has or cares about it, they can see recommendations. If not, well, then hopefully it doesn't matter …

While I have no special insight, I genuinely think you're attributing to malice what can more easily be attributed to stupidity. And even really smart people can be very, very stup…

I don't know about know, but I remember being told as recently as a couple of years ago that id Software used it as an inter-office chat tool. I certainly have imagined its use at …
