I'm sorry your comment has gotten the response it has. The looming dark cloud of stable vs. nightly only looks like a dark cloud to those outside the Rust community. The article that made its way up Hacker News awhile ago ( https:&#x2F

There is so much promise here. Unfortunately, the author is horribly undermined by her own ignorance, and also, somewhat ironically, by trying to attribute larger aspects of internet culture to a specific group of racists, misogynists, and

He makes no mention of how much money he saved by buying last year's model. I am seriously on the edge of buying a 2016 15" MBP, but with many reservations. I would definitely consider buying a 2015 model, but I'm having a re

Contractors milking their customers is an inefficiency introduced by privatization, because without privatization it doesn't happen... How state employees behave or the competency of the buyer is irrelevant. Saying that the inefficie

It's interesting that you note the amount of waste in terms of money that you experienced (which is extremely anecdotal, obviously) and yet the publicly run healthcare systems are often substantially cheaper than the private ones in te

Wow, this is such an awesome idea! I'd never heard of Reddit.tv.

You're pitching it to potential customers entirely the wrong way. Most consumers of web content (>99%) don't care about this in any way. I mean, to be perfectly honest, I'm only mildly interested in exploring alternatives

Extremely misleading headline. The poor are better off when there isn't a housing shortage, because (surprise, surprise) the rich aren't the ones who are going to be forced out.

Yes, but the amount of difference you make at a company isn't directly proportional to the career value of making that difference. If you make a difference at a company with over 50% growth, that's almost always going to be more v

It's also less of a simulator and more of a total brain takeover. When I first started playing all I could think about (as I was trying to get work done) were trans-munar injections and free-return trajectories.

I think it would also be hard to say that France lost the Second World War. The French government signed an armistice, but France was also part of the victorious Allies (with French units being involved in both the liberation of France and

Not to mention, they're also much more heavily involved in the actual content creation for applications (Xcode, Swift/Objective-C, OS X, etc).

I think it's more unlikely that a change in business model would happen so quickly. Given public presence and the way they are steering Apple Music, the personal response - regardless of planning - is less surprising.

Oh, absolutely. This is freebie PR for everyone involved. What I meant to imply is that the PR is only valuable because it is a musician with the brand value (and public presence) of Taylor Swift. And, what I mean by that is that if smaller

It's not that musicians can complain when they want a bigger cut and get it fixed the next day, it's that unicorn musicians can - like Taylor Swift.

So, without making a judgement call on this actual decision. It amazes me that no one saw this type of reaction from artists (and the generally pro-artist consumer base) coming when the overall business plan was created. And that the conces

If you have a window that is narrower than ~960px the window that says "Enter a realm where math is your superpower!" overlaps the image below it. I'm not sure if this bothers you, but I thought I'd let you know.
