Did it though? It really sounded like a persons opinion. Maybe I didn’t read it carefully, but I don’t recall any numbers or data backing any of the claims he made.

If you follow the Apple dev community, there is a group of folks that make their living on books and speaking. That's fine, but they are using the platform differently than someone shipping software. They are also often the authors of

Here's the full, freely available state of Georgia code: http://www.legis.ga.gov/en-US/default.aspx . It seems like some folks may not like that a private company does the hosting or that they have exclusive rights

You'll have to forgive the author for not going into every variable in human beings. Perhaps the purpose of the post was to give people a scaffolding to start developing their own thoughts on the matter? Maybe you have a post you'

This is the most unfortunate part. You think that I've picked some side in this; that I'm defending the concept of being American or the things these people are saying. I'm saying you're generalizing. This behavior is to

There are 12 comments and 350 million Americans. That represents about .00000000034% Americans. But continue to jump to conclusions and create generalizations based on your limited worldview, because that's not at all the same attitude

Sounds less like an issue with a particular side, but more an issue with the people you are friends with.

It is unfortunate that so many people are looking to blame anything - big companies, government, whatever - anytime their worldview has to reconcile a hint of the imperfections of humanity.

If you optimize moving troops to the front line through one path, you leave a path of lower troop tiles right into the heart of your production, which is usually close to your general. They aren't cheating, they're just better tha

I can't speak for the rest of America, but that law does exist in at least parts of Atlanta. Most people are surprised at how green and forest-y the urban parts of Atlanta are.

Would the better job been the first in a series of steps to even better jobs/promotions in the future? Did that job have the same pay from now until retirement? Would a year of hard work in this job yield a raise that offset the loss t

If you believe that the only reason people work is to selfishly make money, then OK, there's not much convincing I can do here. It reminds me of the argument that supporting Brexit can only be accounted for by xenophobia or racism. Is

Well, you can go make your society where the only thing that matters is that people believe the same thing. And then I'll live in current society, where people put forth an effort to support that society's needs. And then we can f

That is a viewpoint that ignores the level at which humans, especially in the US, live at. The amount of work and people that goes into having convenient access to food, transportation and clean water is incredible. And those are just basic

That's not a political issue, although it somehow has been made out to be. Society is a group of people whose contributions - however large or small - are beneficial to the rest of that group. Those contributions are called 'work&

Society is a group of people whose collaborative efforts are able to accomplish more than any one individual and more than simply a sum of individuals. That means 'work', which is another word for 'doing something for someone

What is a 'financial corporation'? Is there a non-financial corporation that exists? How have universities abandoned education to favor entrepreneurship? How were universities previously not like businesses, and how do student loa

By this notion, I should get free tickets to all college football games. And my driver's license registration should also be free, don't my taxes already go to paying for the DMV? Wait, should anything that is even remotely funded

I know it wasn't your intention, but you just made the argument that a private company operates more efficiently and is better for the worker than the equivalent government entity... with money coming from the same taxpayer budget.

Can't respond to you directly, thread limit... but Kirkwood is no longer poor, as evidenced by the cost of the author's home. Someone did bend it back, and internet commenting wasn't the thing that bent it back.

You know those streets changed names 80 years ago, right? Monroe/Boulevard split in 1932, for example. You also know that every American knows about the civil rights era, too? They teach us that in school. You can keep pointing back to

I've also lived in Atlanta a long time, but have also lived in other places for longer. If you think Atlanta is a bastion of segregation, it would benefit you to widen your perspective. But as they say, if you are looking for something

Every place has a story, and every place changes. It's good to hear a story, it's good to see how things change and it's good to respect and understand the past. I could have really enjoyed this story, specifically because I&

Good to note, I must have logically mapped addOperationWithBlock: to a typical NSResponder event in my head, but what you're saying makes more sense.

Interesting. Just tried another approach, and you can get the behavior by overriding reportException: in a custom NSApplication subclass. edit: Also I'm not suggesting to just naively exit(1). edit2: Strangely, exception generating cod

Yes, but that is just the default behavior, does this not work? NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler({exception in print("\(exception)") exit(1) });

Just wanted to point out one thing, the comparison between Atlanta and SF is a bit more nuanced. Atlanta is about 3x larger (in square miles) and encompasses an incredibly economically diverse area. Within two miles, you can find a house fo

The OP wrote an incredibly entitled and egotistical article. The person you are responding to isn't being dismissive, they are likely - like myself - shocked that someone thinks this way.

I think the person you are responding to is simply saying some things are more complex than others and require more understanding and experience. R apparently falls into that category. If the author wants to gain that experience, I think t
