I don't entirely understand the linked chart here. But best I can make of it, has 1/4 the # of impressions as MSM and almost half the impressions for either partisan left or right. This is a minor issue that is showing impression

It doesn't appear this app is trying to be a straight up Photoshop replacement. If that's what people are looking for they can go to GIMP. So I don't see how that answer specifically indicates why people would be unhappy with

Then your complaint is about Apple locking iMessage to Apple devices. Which is a legitimate complaint especially since Apple had said they would be opening it up (or was that FaceTime...I'm not sure). But that's a wholly different

By that logic WhatsApp isn't free. I have to spend hundreds of dollars upfront to buy a phone, and worse, hundreds of dollars each year to maintain a phone line to use WhatsApp. WhatsApp doesn't provide an API so I could use it on

That's what my employer also did. In addition to a lot of metrics on which they base performance and awards. In other words easily and frequently gameable made up numbers

Even if that's the case, it isn't elitist to suggest we privilege cheaper modes of transport. Your scenario cannot scale by definition (used) Your scenario has no answer for the externalities. Essentially, the only reason the scen

The only people supporting nuclear are also on the left. Nuclear's demise has nothing to do with the liberals blocking it (if they were so powerful their efforts against coal and fracking and oil pipelines may have been marginally effe

They can. Uber added nothing to market other than an app, which everyone was doing for every potential business at the time anyways. Their differentiators though were primarily the crazy amount of VC money they were willing to lose and the

Extreme cold that is abnormal.and consistently abnormal can also be reflective of the effects of climate change. It's only the people who think snow disproves it that think this is an argument.

It still doesn't make sense. If this is the better approach, then why isn't it the default. Why is it enabled (in a way that is extremely difficult to reverse) by copy pasting something in the Terminal? I'm pretty sure this i

I think what was ridiculously through this entire process was Boeing blaming someone else. That's pretty much been the issue right from when it surfaced. Initially it was the bad pilots, bad airlines, bad countries and lately it's

Maybe because those who are asking for it to be broken up are not asking for it to be broken up to solve the problem that it is peppered with ads? Maybe they have other different concerns that they think will best be resolved by breaking th

Our company doesn't have laptops to give out to employees. Intel has really dropped the ball. I suspect, as the article suggests, that Intel will be using these chips to supply niche applications like kiosks giving them a little more b

We had 5 developers move to Canada. They are being paid far above market value because they wouldn't agree to drop down to Canadian salaries. Further, new hiring has shifted to Canada (we didn't hire devs in Canada at all) and the

That sounds really strange to me. Even amongst major vim users and proponents I have never heard anyone say vimscript is good. Maybe I don't get out enough.

It's funny because Google had a very different perspective when MS was the Monopoly we were worried about.

Well when you take the words climate change literally and ignore what it means in context, yeah, you're absolutely right. But then you're also revealing yourself as a dishonest participant who is probably not worth discussing this

This looks really cool. I couldn't find any info on the site, but anyone know what sort of backup features are available built in? If there isn't anything built in, what are other users of mail in a box doing to backup their data?

Just because a tool can be used for A, B or C, and you are an expert at using that tool for A does not imply that your expertise at using the tool for A makes you an expert in B and C. The whole point of this article is to point out that a

Wait...nuclear accidents (e.g.s Chernobyl and Fukushima) are less dangerous than wind and solar? What sort of blatant BS is this.

by jdjdjjsjs 7y ago
Wind and solar projects are not coming in at 3-4x their costs anywhere. So the fact that they are simply simpler projects which rarely (never?) have massive overruns due to "bad project management" is a huge financial point in the

Cities in the US are more expensive due to housing policy, as you mention, but also because cities as the engine of American business and growth are subsidizing the rest of the nation. A significant chunk of every city dweller's money

Why do we believe that Uber would be the beneficiary of autonomous cars? They aren't developing them anymore, so if Waymo pushes them first why wouldn't the Google Maps app simply replace Uber, eg.

If the payments is the issue then MS chose a really terrible solution considering upgrades are free for the life of the device which is usually far greater than the cadence of paid upgrades in the past. I agree it's solving MS's p

This is also exactly correct. The actual reason is that fossil fuels are highly subsidized in most developing countries, so the only impact this has is in reducing the subsidies paid by the government exchequer.

The idea that the developing world will benefit from cheap oil is ridiculous. The developing world is the one suffering from the impacts of global warming. Several countries in Africa are suffering from wars worsened by climate change drive

Smaller tech companies will almost certainly be better for workers. More competitive companies mean more demand for workers and higher salaries for workers. More competition also likely means more innovation and better prices and more choic

This doesn't make sense to me. If all those things about the company and its execs are true they are almost certainly not gonna deliver the alternative you are clamoring for. In the meanwhile your money is sitting with them instead of

Web extensions are not limited because of any inherent limitations in technology but because of policy. If Firefox wanted they could have created a new extension system with XUL that would also have the same limitations the web extensions d

Not in this case because the word base here does not refer to a "standard" level of which ultraX would be the opposite, but rather refers to a group of people who support a particular political party. There's nothing oxymoron
