Except Apple have been shaving full pounds and more off of their laptops, don't know where you got the wrong idea that it's only 30 grams. And yes, knocking a 5-pound laptop down t…

Why? They would have already been dealing with it in every other public space.

Uh, seriously? Moving cursors around? Some of us use computers for things other than games, child.

Incorrect. Having owned both the previous, 5-pound version and the current, 3-pound version, the difference is night and day.

What's the point of your comment? If you can do the same thing without JavaScript or with, the implementation that doesn't use JavaScript is categorically preferable.

Jesus, could you be more provincial?

Whoosh. They're not being "racist". They're simply applying a "character test".

Apparently for all the economic-related punditry, HN still doesn't understand economics. Jim, you do realize that "inflated" (relative term of course, since Uber is more expensive …

It's more of a poor (dare I say "trailer trash") southern thing in my experience.

Nah, you just need some cool makeup: https://cvdazzle.com/

You're right, but if "acting responsibly" was at all a prerequisite, they wouldn't even have their precious guns.

Perhaps under some misguided assumption that it benefits business?

Why? Asses can be beautiful. And it doesn't change the fact that NZ is about as remote as you can get.

Well, there is a big difference, but not the one you've managed to come up with. Vagrant is normally used to run full VMs (although you can use it to drive Docker), so while you mi…

You run your containers on a hypothetical platform that hasn't been released?

Uh, wrong.

I switched to Lyft a while ago but I never would cash tip my Ubers and I had a full 5 stars.

> I was implying that there was another path that would have resulted in an even more positive result Ah, the old "I intended the exact opposite of what I said" ploy.

That's incorrect. In your original comment you referred to "a positive net result", which the utilitarian will always prefer by definition. Perhaps you are confusing utility with e…

Sounds like the way non-tech companies operate. Pretty damning that IBM can't understand why leadership of a tech company should have a tech background.

Don't forget their big "blockchain" push (via TV commercials).

While you raise a valid issue, you don't know that IBM didn't also have trouble parsing large cookies. And even if they didn't, your information doesn't exactly excuse IBM for usin…

I was offered a PIP once. It was purportedly due to poor performance, but it was clear that I was being gotten rid of for other, non performance-related reasons. The actual goal I …

> Well, the employee is depriving the employer of something as well. Given that the employer is trying to get rid of the employee, this assertion seems questionable.

It is if you're a utilitarian.
