Who decides what is a reasonable amount? In the real world, that's called "negotiation".

It's as if the people paying for this app aren't actually the ones complaining. Why wouldn't they complain if it was a scam? Because they're not actually using it. It's a money lau…

An infant mortality rate far above other first world nations isn't a health care problem? We're talking about kids too young to be be gunned down, so they're not part of America's …

So if you simply eliminate some of America's health care problems, America is like other nations? That's convenient.

"To help identify and prevent fraud, information about how you use your device, including the approximate number of phone calls or emails you send and receive, will be used to comp…

I'm confused by the headline. The quote from Apple is that they're computing trust scores for your devices for when you attempt a purchase. It sounds like the more you use the devi…

Typing a word into Google gives you a sense of accomplishment? Wow. When I was a kid (and by that I mean all the way into university), we had to go to the library (an actual physic…

I believe you've swapped the narrative. A lot of people work their ass off just to pay the rent and feed their kids. Working your ass off does not imply wealth. That's the problem.…

You sound like you need a sabbatical.

Given that we introverts are a minority, I'm not sure how you've managed not to notice those people who hate silence and solitude. Perhaps you've spent too much time alone?

If these men were good at the managerial jobs, why was the company ailing in the first place? Maybe firing them all was the right move, but it was too late to repair the damage.

I'm waiting for a G Suite/G Spot/G Men/G String joke.

Having a publisher decline to publish your unsolicited article isn't censorship. It's business. Why do people not understand that their right to free speech does not obligate (obli…

I'm happily coding at 51.

We old developers _are_ better. I, for one, have a lush neck beard and am seriously contemplating going with the sandals with socks look.

It's rather a simple algorithm: 1. Do I average more than 10k page views a month right now? No: Buy license good up to 10k page views per month. Yes: Contact them about a bigger li…

Especially when our previous Prime Minister started his career working in a mail room.

I think you may have misinterpreted the license. There's no pay-per-view. From the description: "It is also available in web font formats for self hosted websites (up to 10K monthl…
