Yeah, show some promise for fuck's sake. Like Nip Alert, Big Head's app. It gives you the location of a woman with erect nipples. Now that's something people want.

The subconscious mind is a very powerful thing. Even if you say you don't respect those people more than others, it doesn't mean that you don't.

Money does correlate to happiness, so long as you have enough of it to live comfortably. Beyond that point, additional money does not increase happiness.

There's an important distinction between simply being ambitious about achieving greatness, and feeling as though you were destined, or meant, to achieve greatness. The former accounts for failure, while the latter does not.

Yeah, that stuck out to me as well. Thinking like that is a sign that there may be larger issues at play here. Truly satisfied and happy people don't believe themselves to have been destined for greatness in any such manner - even thou

This is not a privacy issue. As with age, people are not expected to state their race in an interview, nor are employers allowed to discriminate based on race, yet this diversity report includes anonymized racial data. They could have easil

Worse still, he starts with "design needs to stop with the feel-good bullshit", but ends with a bunch of save-the-world feel-good bullshit. The fact that Silicon Valley has not solved the world's problems goes far far deeper

The example set for the in the article, Hugh Hewitt's interview with Zach Carter, is possibly the worst example the author could have used for ignorance in the media. While ignorance in the media may or may not be an issue, this articl

Great, so now I have to maintain an updated LinkedIn profile, contribute to various open source projects on GitHub, sustain an active StackOverflow profile, and complete coding challenges on HackerRankX. I hope the employer who hires me doe

Why not keep the account but only use it if someone messages you or requests to be a friend? To me that's the useful part of Facebook. The news feed is just nonsense.

First off, two of their "studies" simply compared the hamburger icon to different types of icons, but the functionality remained the same (slide out). Only one looked at changing the navigation entirely. Second, this is not so muc

Why can't it be both? You might have a question as to why Piketty gets so much credit, but the two are not mutually exclusive.

Sorry but they lost me when they disparaged anti-SOPA efforts as being "information exceptionalism". There's a very big difference between information property and "real" property. Until we can make perfect copies o

Yeah, exactly, and even though you're technically prohibited from excluding Americans in the job ads, take it from Cohen & Grigsby, there's plenty of ways around that problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC

Although I believe he meant "public" as in, people who were affected but not directly filing the lawsuits. So, as you say, people who worked for or were affiliated with the affected companies. However, you can make the argument th

So even though you acknowledge that the taxation system is unfair, and that it's due to a corrupt system. Despite the fact that this corrupt crony-capitalist system involves two actors, corporations and government, for some reason, you

He probably avoids paying as much tax as he can, but he also probably doesn't spend millions lobbying politicians. The same can't be said for Apple.

by gopher1 12y ago
The government screws up the tax laws because they have been captured by the lobbying arms of large multi-national corporations, including Apple. It's no surprise then that those same corporations are the ones who get to pay 0% taxes w

It's bad because it's unfair. If everyone, including small businesses, got to pay 0% tax, then you might have a good argument. But as it stands, we have a 35% corporate tax rate for everyone except large multi-national companies w

Can you elaborate on this? Because there were plenty of projects funded by no-bid government contracts that failed. Likewise, plenty of government R&D dollars have also gone toward efforts that have failed. Nobody bats 100%, but it all

Also, as someone pointed out in the comments of the article, if you count video games in the "time spent in apps", then really it's the gaming consoles and devices that are losing out, not mobile websites, so the discrepancy

Just so you know, apps are also using any number of third party tracking services, and many are also ad-ridden. Not to mention that apps usually have more/deeper access to your personal information.
