For a lot of articles like these, looking at the answers to see if they're interesting is futile. The real insight is in the questions. In this case, you can reflect on your own friendships, and how the other side of them might see the

Anecdotally, I'm pretty sure this phenomenon occurs even with bus lanes.

That depends on what you mean by deregulate. There's a lot of simplification through the single market and free movement of labor.

This is completely incomprehensible and very funny. It's also amusing how different this is to what Twitter has done. It seems incredibly unlikely that any consultants (overpriced or otherwise) were involved in Twitter's rebrandin

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Not everyone writes with you in mind as their ideal reader. Some people write for themselves and publish to keep themselves honest, though I don't presume to know what OP's mo

"So it's ironic that, despite all these established old-media recommendation engines, there was nothing for one of my favourite media - online articles." Prismatic[0] comes to mind. [0]: http://getprismatic.com

And if you're interested in Adam Curtis, I recommend this parody/critique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1bX3F7uTrg Not saying that Curtis's documentaries are without merit, just lending a little context.

It's feels great to be able to blame managers when something goes wrong, but that's the only real difference between having or not having your 'accountability chain'. And if your company is structured to have someone to

You can add collaborators to private repos (ie people with push rights). You can have organizations with private repos and use the collaboration tools within the organization. For me, the private repos are more about having them where I hav

Isn't this a red herring? They stated they were evaluating Email/Calendering solutions.

Not once does he say anything about independence or labels. He just says that the focus needs to be on shipping, everything else is secondary. There's nothing "out of touch" about that. It's completely, and trivially, true. If you want to s

Bilingual here (so this is anecdotal). When I'm immersed in the different lingual environments I notice fairly substantive differences in my identity. It's not stuff that's necessarily very apparent to bystanders (as far as I can tell). The

Surely it's not about who does your R&D so much as what they produce? Most of the MS R&D papers I've read have been very good, with excellent ideas. Let's also not forget that GHC is maintained at MS R&D. The problem lies in con

It's hyperbole to make a rhetorical point, don't read any more into it than that. Whether or not a degree is a worthwhile activity is an interesting discussion, but it is not one that begins with 'degrees are not accomplishments'.

Maybe all we need is 'bad, average, good, great' to be shown alongside the comment. Or something along the lines of what slashdot do with allowing you to vote for comments as 'insightful' or 'funny' etc.

Not absurd, just human. People are generalizing and deliberately misinterpreting each other. That's why I find this so odd. It's _easy_ to find out if an SSD is right for you or not. Why are people's identities so tied to spinning metal vs

I'm amused at how strongly the for/against sides are arguing in this thread. This is a case where the cost benefit analysis is quite simple. I used to start my day at work by doing git status on my project repos to warm up the disk cache, t
