My wife says that you can do everything with your thumb on an iPhone 6. You double tap the home button and that brings the screen down so you can reach everything. Will that work for you?

Currently reading Mein Kampf. Going to start some others too, like I bought Glenn Greenwald, No Place to Hide but haven't started it.

I'd also like a clear refutation of that book. I've only read two Rand books: Anthem and Capitalism. I loved Anthem in spite of its anti-government bullshit because of my libertarian side but my socialist side overrides all of it

Which is why it wouldn't happen. Interns and entry level grads are doing testing; they hire PhDs specifically for doing the kind of research they were doing at university. But the original comment wasn't serious anyway, just makin

I think it executes it as a script, though. Like, it uses a compiler but isn't itself a compiler.

I'd like to see school quality and rent prices broken out by demographics as well, particularly race and ethnicity.

That's a terrible analogy. We're talking about the difference between a small community and digital information technology in the era of ubiquitous networks. For one, the level of detail is absurdly lopsided; we're comparing

I'm totally fine with your exciting-as-fuck politics but it will be difficult to get people to that point any time soon, me thinks. I think the problem is that when you say things like "these things don't work" you'

Intelligent corporate policy. Oh how I wish such a marriage of pragmatism and respect for privacy were the norm.

Wow, your comment is grayed out like it was downvoted but you've only asked MS to liberate an OS, which is something that should be supported. True hacker spirit there.

I don't understand. How did you lose your flagging privileges?

Thank you so much for releasing this as free-as-in-freedom software! Since this appears to be server software, I'd like to recommend switching to the Affero GPL; its only additional requirement over GPL is that network operators must r

Even if this isn't as nefarious as the title suggests, it's still an excellent reason to drop dropbox. Have you tried owncloud? That's what I use and it's perfect for escaping stuff like this as well as dropbox's ne

You're right that that's what traitors say about sharing but that's not a real world solution for serious people. Perhaps you aren't aware of this but copyright holding monopolies have purchased laws in the US that crimi

It's pretty embarrassing for them that their response is incredulousness. Facebook is largely regarded as a necessary evil by many people, especially technical folks, and yet these guys are surprised that people might worry that you&#x

Noam Chomsky had the best response to "big data": it's basically a nonsense concept (which I agree with) because "thinking is hard."

Corporate pricing shenanigans and barriers to market performance are some of the least important factors in what costs money and ails society. How much freer of a market do you want? Anyone who claims that barriers to market freedom are imp

It just doesn't make sense to test every bad idea and lament that fact as some kind of opposition to scientific curiosity and inquiry.

Except in those cases we would hope they implement the feature in question and in this case we can only hope he has the good sense to leave it off.

Actually it's not great since a disproportionate part of the outcome of legal proceedings is luck, just like all of life.

You've really just illuminated what the MAFIAA doesn't want us to understand: that it is empirically false to state that people aren't supporting the arts. But let's not use their loaded propaganda bullshit terms when we

Don't use propaganda terms like 'compensation' here. It's not compensation unless you hired someone to do something. The reason the media corporations want you to use terms that don't make rational sense is because

Ah this old misdirection. There is no shortage of evidence of voluntary payments for creative works so stop spreading bullshit. How far do you move the goalposts when people mention examples like the Humble Bundles, Nine Inch Nails, etc.?

My thought was that a kite from a nearby park might fly into the face of a skateboarder causing them to veer into the road forcing a motorcycle to evade and crash into a bus, severing the fuel line and blowing up thirty seven children but l

You do seem insensitive. Fuck their missed projections. Let all the managers quit for their failure. Did you look at the financials? Why are you pretending that you have the slightest clue what's going on in their business? If the empl

Tort reform also has no bearing on cost outcomes, according to the data. Texas is one example. It's solely designed to prevent human beings from holding corporations accountable for their actions. The reason people bring it up is becau

No, it's good you didn't. It's like people who insist that you say "It's my opinion that chocolate ice cream is delicious" instead of "Chocolate ice cream is delicious" because it offends their ridicu

People against universal healthcare are just good people who are confused and/or deluded. Their arguments will never really add up because it's only about corporations making profits and to that end people will need to be deluded
