By ThinkPad Classic, you mean, the ThinkPad 25 Retro Anniversary Edition? I think it was kind of popular, but for $2,000, it just wasn't very competitive even with other ThinkPads. You were essentially paying a premium for a 7-row keyb

The reason there are different passport restrictions, mostly, is wealth/income inequality. As countries become richer, their passports typically become stronger. The solution is to attack the root cause of the issue, which is that so m

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but hear me out: the issue of social and physical comfort in public transit is probably at least as important as the issue of efficiency. In public transit, the expectation of adhering to a social contract is a

Feel beholden to cell phone carriers? Check out WhatsApp -- it uses the Internet to eliminate absurd and capricious regional fees.

WhatsApp (and thus Facebook) has three ways to monetize the service: (1) Charge everyone a small amount; (2) Charge a few users -- businesses mostly -- a large amount; (3) Sell and monetize your data with ads. WhatsApp's founders were

In Colorado, there's still some veneration of Buffalo Bill, whose claim to fame was killing buffalo with such efficiency that only the pelts were harvested from the rotting corpses blanketing the plains.

So basically it's the old guy asking a "computer person" for help with something completely unrelated to both his job and his personal interests as an unpaid favor.

I've been using Python since 1.5 and I feel like the language itself has been feature-complete for some time. In the 2.0 era, the big pain points were async and unicode; as demonstrated by, well, how painful Twisted's unicode was.

I can definitely imagine some places where this replaces type-checking, but it still seems like a bit of an unfortunate anti-pattern to me, since it's really a sort of C/C++ style function prototype match. My immediate thought is

No, just no. First of all, however much you do or don't trust your VPN provider, it's almost certainly a million times more trustworthy than Comcast/CenturyLink/Verizon/whatever. Most consumers have one or perhaps t

FWIW, when I've been buying ads, Google not only has customer service, the customer service is damn good. I guess that's why it's called customer service.

There have been a great many sunsetted products from Google that could, in theory, generate some data points.

You're screening calls, not potential customers. Presumably, interested parties still get through, while people who just want some tidbit don't.

Based on reading a Los Angeles parking sign array, no, I'm not clear on whether I even have the right to park somewhere.

I'm sure Larry Page is a smart guy, and Page Rank was clever, but I'm not really sure there's any particular reason to believe he knows where any industry is moving. Schmidt could predict technology trends well, while Page

What do you mean? Original quartz watches are still working, are they not? Do we have a good idea of how long they'll last? Not having any moving parts would generally mean a quartz movement will be more durable.

Well, they're saying it's "meaningful." I'm saying, it's the only reason at least 3 people I know haven't completely deleted Facebook.

Yeah. You can always get into what you do/don't like about a framework, but the same can be said of Flask. FWIW, I don't like DRF's reliance on serializers that do more than serialization.

People pay handsomely for better mechanical movements, but that's still an aesthetic choice. The world's most accurate mechanical movement is just not going to be as accurate as a mid-range quartz movement. Paying a premium for so

Questions of cost and "why" apply broadly to the whole category of watches. Up until the late 70s, watches were tools to keep you from being late. Since then, you've been able to get a cheap, reliable watch for next to nothin
