True. But not important - or salient - 78% of the time on popular Reddit threads, right?

Additionally, this $90 deposit can then be treated as 'real' money and loaned out according to the same 10% reserve - $81. In the manner of a babushka doll, this can be deposited a…

A shortcut is supposed to be difficult; if it was easy, it would just be 'the way'.

It's difficult not to see to the word 'slumped' as an editorial judgement, and I find it quite strange. The world is grotesquely overpopulated and at some point it needs to stop.

Reddit and, for some reason, techcrunch, for example. Scared the shit out of me the first time I got this: https://readtiger.com/img/wkp/en/KCSC-Warning.png

It's important to remember that up until 60 years ago they weren't in any way separate from one another, and up until 20-30 years ago when the south's economy took off, there was l…

He says Google got 100x their investment since it's 'worth' that multiple of what they paid. I don't think it's a valid argument since they paid real cash and have only a notional …

Guarantee everyone in this comment thread saw that episode of the West Wing where CJ meets the cartographers for social cartography. Me too. Big block of cheese, indeed...

I. Hate. PDFs. You have to connect to download it, so why not just put it on the web?! Link to the pdf from there if you simply must. That is all.

It reminds me of the astounding naivete of Aaron Swartz's girlfriend (or whatever she was at the time) in talking to the FBI and then being surprised that they were just looking fo…

I think in fairness PayPal were already very much on the Dark Side; now they've just gone bat shit mental.

I read that three times as register outRage and couldn't figure out what the article was on about. Register outrage,on the other hand, I would totally get (and is totally overdue a…

Management theory is like cottage cheese - they keep finding surprising new ways to make me hate it.

It's not necessarily invalid, at least not for the reason you give. Lifeguards can go to jail (in Europe, at least) for manslaughter, as can ski marshals, if they're deemed suffici…

Don't agree; downvoted.

Single-handedly is a bit much (and kind of an insult to every one else involved in passing the Zadroga Act). Stewart would be among the first people to tell you that, i think.

Worth a watch. It is painful and seemingly stupid at times but it's worth trying to see it from the perspective of someone who, thus far, hasn't noticed or cared about any of it. I…

Long, but worth a read even if you're not in the field. It helped bring into focus a lot of the things that didn't feel right about startup culture (if it can be called that), but …

I had no idea the spockyourfive thing was a thing, but I'm kind of glad it is. Worth a look if any of this amused you: http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2014/08/05/10-banknotes-improved-by.…

It's a real shame, but I don't think Mozilla is going to be able to make this work - they just don't have the leverage with hardware that the big three - MS, Apple, Google - have. …

You got me there. My point, as you no doubt know, was that they're advertising a low headline price and then jacking it up with 'optional' extras that provide core functionality.
