You are vastly understating the power they have over you and your devices. You are not a tenant, you are a serf and Apple is not your landlord, it is your master. You have reliquin…

You mean realistic? What's obnoxious about it?

You'll have a blast paying thousands of dollars for rented, ad-laden, subpar machines with 90s performance that monitor every move you make. I, for one, welcome our various overlor…

That's just having access to the right resources (school and.. time and lack of obstacles) as I'm sure you did not just pull Gauss summation out of thin air.

Stuff like this is useless for families. See his schedule. 7-830AM, time for "journaling"? Laughable. Try: 0600-0800 handling a bunch of small, very active and loud kids while doin…

All these groups you mention would collapse into uselessness the second SE pulls back, with perhaps philosophers and maybe artists holding out for a while. Without computation thes…

They don't need to "step up their game", they are plenty efficient at minmaxing the economic game. If anything the government and thus the people need to step up their game to chan…

Then you connect it. Update. And then disconnnect it again.

No postgres. Is this a joke? SQL Server, really?

You call it equal potential, like it is some obvious thing, but what if that is intelligence?

They drive like maniacs but they drive at 10mph. You won't die.

"The Book of Mormon is a sacred text of the Latter Day Saint movement, which, according to Latter Day Saint theology, contains writings of ancient prophets who lived on the America…

You are so competent and so clever, but you still say these things. Boggles the mind. Specialisation at work I guess.

People still do that, a lot. It doesn't make the headlines.

Caddy is Go. It has 5mb hello worlds. (Which is fine)

LastPass saves you time too, compared to being hacked. (And a lot more than 50 hours) I don't get how honing a config file is not madness, but good password management is extortion…
