Did you see the "Retro Razr" mode image at the bottom of the article? Even better nostalgia factor!

How ironic that this article (which was actually written in the spring and goes to great lengths to explain why people are mistaking DST for standard time) was posted here in the fall just after the switch to winter time; some master level

Is it possible they are trying to sell for the same price but with wildly varying costs of each varietal of coffee? I.E. they want to sell a bag for 15 bucks across the board but some beans cost them far more than others to source?

That line is critical because it means they will effectively be manufactured in China but some token amount of assembly will happen in the U.S. so that they appear to be seen to be manufacturing in the U.S. when in fact they are made in Chi

Yeah there are a lot of ivory tower developers here with little to no real world experience and have never done anything of any substance or complexity pushing their tiny limited experience and knowledge and you can spot them from miles awa

Wow; of course there are plenty of reasons why forms require javascript unless you've never coded anything of substance before then yes, in your limited experience no forms require javascript. If you write even mildly complex business

No. It depends on the person entirely and if you start digging you will find about equal distribution of people who are calmed by a sativa and people who are calmed by an indica. I personally suspect that people who feel calm from a sativ

Point number 2 is utterly untrue as any experienced cannabis enthusiast could tell you. Even if people don't know the strain or what the effects are it's pretty reliable that it will either energize them or send them to sleep.

I think you're more right than people are giving credit for. They clearly haven't cared much about their hardware with any true innovation for a long time.

Jesus that's thin gruel to bring up..no? How about some actual innovation? Has anything truly innovative happened in smartphones for the last decade?

"Apple benefits from having higher average quality of developers in its ecosystem" What?! How on earth do you come to that conclusion?

This annoys me to no end; so is this intended to make sure no one does anything about a serious problem with this Whataboutism? Or is it intended to make us care less? What exactly is the purpose of this kind of comment? Why on earth woul

That's 20th century thinking tied into the scourge of fundamental religion that blames every lack of success in any avenue of life on a moral failing despite every bit of evidence to the contrary. Addiction is a great indication of thi

There should be a life rule, if the word "teen" or "child" appears in any headline about some new "invention" or "app" you should immediately ignore that article as it's going to be some breathle

Why are we as developers giving this company any of our business when they've thumbed their noses at us for decades?

Difficult to host smtp?! That's absolutely not true and has never been true. It's difficult to configure and set up in the first place but after that it's just updating. Source: personal experience for decades.

Yeah...no. Increasingly fewer people are buying this narrative anymore. Hard work is something everyone can get behind, but cheating is just cheating even if it has a veneer of legality behind it we all now know how easy it is for people
