They still make them today, and to the same spec Which says nothing about the process (and possibly iteration) that went into the design before it was finalized.

There are so many public pods, and have been for years. Are you pretending you actually at some point tried to sign up and check it out? Really?

How did they fail? They cannot force people to use what they coded, even though it works fantastically.

Generally yeah, but in this case? If they 100% knew for a fact that the sky above his head was black, then adding some black padding is fine. Maybe not from a photography standpoin…

Oh bullshit. The flat lens eliminates optical aberrations such as the “fish-eye” effect that results from conventional wide-angle lenses. Surely you wouldn't claim that is referrin…

Lazyness? Hypocrisy? But does it really matter? If I had a grandma she wouldn't be using techcrunch, she'd be using facebook.

Funny, now it's obvious that they could have been that evil to start with. I wonder what's changed. Time passed. Like someone who first makes lewd remarks, doesn't encounter (enoug…

I'm surprised that you see politeness and qualification of criticism as "sucking up". I don't, I see sucking up as sucking up. E.g. If someone says all black people should be kille…

Sure, that's just being fair. And making it clear you're criticizing a thing, not the person who made or said the thing, helps a big deal. But all that assumes good intentions behi…

"violating monotonicity means you can’t assume you’ve seen everything once you’ve read to the top of your timeline." if that turns out to be such a problem, 1.) you can simply assu…

Feel free. I wish it wasn't true, you know.

How? By constantly downloading the entire database of every application to your local drive? Where it would not only take up space, but could be modified to allow anything in? Yes,…

Too radical.

Here's the quote I was looking for. "A totalitarian state simply enunciates official doctrine -- clearly, explicitly. Internally, one can think what one likes, but one can only exp…

"Unfortunately, you can't vote the rascals out, because you never voted them in, in the first place." -- Noam Chomsky

I think they mean participation in that you can choose the left or the right lane of the conveyor belt to the butcher house; it's not about addressing actual stuff . You just have …

The fact that the parent didn't even raise an eyebrow just makes this butthurt reaction even more hilarious. Keep on trucking, and don't worry; there's an idiot born every day, nev…
