this is like the rosetta stone for 11-year-old me

I think it's this unconscious desire to share strong opinions about any large enough bit of news. While I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to have personable opinions about…

https://momspaghetti.ytmnd.com/ One of the greatest contributions to humanity was the conversion of ytmnd from flash to html5

Can you elaborate what that means? Did this staff do something I didn't know about?

Don't forget, only runs on IE.

Respect the player, hate the laundry.

For whatever reason this immediately made me think of NJ's laws requiring an attendant to fill up your gas tank. Does the law apply to electric charging stations currently? If it d…

Could you point out specific ambiguities in this set of rules if you agree? The only significant one (in my opinion) is a lack of definition of DPI.

Oh wow, that's a great point. I've always tried to compromise with opponents by agreeing that increased competition should alleviate many of my fears but now that you've mentioned …

Well shut my mouth, thanks for the link. ..even if it's from TC (I won't hold it against you).

> But lets not kid ourselves. This isn't anonymized data. Uber's publishing in a format that is unspecific, but they have all of the detailed data and can poke through it and infer…

Personally speaking, I worked 2+ years at a company where I slowly realized that I was worth more than what I was being paid. I didn't push for a raise very hard, but the more resp…

They stuck it out pretty long with a good customer base, I personally kept using them even after Twitter introduced the ability to embed images. They just never adapted, I feel lik…

Quell riots and looting. You don't need trained snipers, full body armor and APCs to do that. Not for a town of 21,000. They were sandblasting saltines.

> This is bad but it definitely isn't proof that we've turned in to some sort of Stalinist police state. That's kind of a super-extreme isn't it? He said first glimpse of tyranny c…

I always thought the issue with Ebola was how quickly the host dies. If there were a period of about a week where no symptoms arose, then the virus would become significantly more …

Fairly wild given that I don't believe Staples Center is part of the deal. A lot of what drives prices up for sports teams (most evident in the NFL) is tying a Stadium along with t…

Also, just because a zip code has 2 broadband providers, does that mean the entire population residing within that zip code has that access?

Personally I use it when trying to view past changes and understand what the state of the repo was at that particular moment. Frankly, right now I just have a hard time remembering…

Exactly. Things may take a completely different meaning depending on the people you're with. I remember a conversation from a while ago when young me called a gf of mine the "prett…

> I like the idea of enforcing a public ephemerality on things that are created within a specific time and context. That makes a lot of sense. I could absolutely see the usefulness…

What are the use-cases for something like this? I'm really curious because for me personally, if I were to delete something later then my opinion is that I shouldn't have posted it…
