    I use :visible. The notes say it can increase speed 17x in certain cases.

    Soon enough, I will know if it is a windy or sunny day by looking at the AWS EC2 spot price.

    I am afraid it would cost $2M to try to pay back $1.7M... i think they should first spend their time and $$ in making sure they fix the issues going forward.

    Yes, yes, and yes. In my case, i met someone with the idea i believed in. So talk to people, make it known you want to try something. I had money in the bank to live 12 months with…

    You can laugh at everything but not with everyone. (Pierre Desproges) Before you make an offensive joke, check who's around you.

    SLC is 45 minutes away from some of the best ski resorts on the planet: Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley, Park City... If you like skiing, it counts as outdoors!!

    The argument was that in the US, they "only" collected metadata. No real phone calls. No big deal... The power of their use of "only" metadata in Pakistan is frightening..

    2008 is the keyword here. Lehman B going bankrupt. Fear.

    Ditto. I cringed when i read this. It's like Boeing writing: "At Boeing we really care about building planes that can fly and be safe too." As a reader, I feel they think I am a li…

    Economy is doing better than in 2013. So many more applicants. So lottery needed. In 2 days in April there are way more applicants than slots. If you apply 1 month later you're way…

    "Apology is a sign of weakness" I don't know if/when this culture will ever change. One measuring stick will be when we see baseball pitchers apologizing to the batters they hit (i…

    Most of the arguments I read here are: it's OK for Apple to do this because they're a closed app, and the same content is on Youtube anyway. Tomorrow Google says: "We remove this c…

    Yes. The writer is definitely very smart. But on top of smart, he hustles. That's the part I admire most.
