""I didn't get my password reset email yet, so I'm going to go try and score some karma on HN with Browser Wars link bait." is how I interpret that response." Not at all how I intended it. As for taking open source for granted, in this case

Fundamentally because it's been more than two hours since I asked for a password reset. But really, because I'm not trying to fix this. This message was mostly for me, because I'm leaving what has been a fundamental part of my experience on

Dear Firefox: I can't do this anymore. I'm done.

Shouldn't we consumers just cut to the chase and use foreign banks directly?

He just did. There's a video and ad hiding everything about the site. To me, the site is "something I'll never know because you have to watch a video to find out." A simple sentence wouldn't have been taxing on the creators.

Great tip, but I thought it was going to be how to identify and remove all the digital cruft in your environment. Tools and packages that were tried, abandoned and forgotten. Anyone have tips like that? My method: I occasionally do a scorch

"Pay them poorly." I was with them until this. There's no reason to treat a valuable person as a throwaway, and poor pay does that.

The nose in the tent is that they didn't say it's full of water, they said it's full of [something I've never heard of], and presented in a newsy-alarming way, in venue where people are accustomed to getting snippets of news while they're d

The left vertical bar all the way down the text makes it look like the entire text is a quote from somewhere else. I experienced unresolved tension, waiting to see who "really" wrote the text.

They already have, or are in the process, to the extent that classroom time is dictated by the needs of preparing students for the flood of standardized tests in use today.

It's "artistic license" in the original sense.

"Google has taken aim at the companies who sell off their patents so they can be used in lawsuits." Yeah, it's so much better when you can buy a whole company for the contained patents.

"in a store through a phone's camera." If it was for the store then you'd do one or more stationary mounts of something better and more purpose-built than a camera phone. Or something even simpler like counting bodies in and out at the do

Ads suck, but the bigger danger is that the uber-profile will be available for subpoena, or the govt might just flip the fuckit bit and take it because they can. Being allowed to run a billion dollar business unmolested by the govt would be

Why would you trust any company of that size?

I suspect "making available" would be treated similar to selling. But if the law is as described in the ref'd comment, I wonder why there aren't sites or books that walk you up to the point where you can provide the invention for your perso

Interesting comment from the article's comment thread, from Janne. A patent is for the commercialization of an idea. Anyone is free to implement any patent for personal use, as long as you don't sell it. If the use of this common chemical,

I see ads all the time on TV and billboards for DUI and settlement and disability lawyers. "Get the result you deserve." I think many of them are national firms, although they look local. It seems that patent troll victims would be a great

Like so many things, I probably could get my answer if I was prepared to fight for it. But since I have insurance, and I'll eventually pay out my deductible and out of pocket maximum, it's just not worth the fight, no matter how wrong this

By "eventually" I mean a cascading series of events and degradations. I won't die the day after the missed appointment, but I'd almost certainly die within the year from that specific disease. Otherwise I'd die at a presumably much later da

Resource Acquisition is Initialization, so just wait for current trends to go out of scope and you'll enjoy automatic, orderly and all but guaranteed destruction of kulaks and unfoobers.

I'm not one of the people you're looking for, but like so many things, a flexible mix based on the character of the work at hand is usually most effective. Sometimes ( sometimes ) you doodle to think, sometimes you code to think: how do you

I think even parody is too much attention in this case. People are going to rearrange processes, to produce the same things, for infinite generations to come. Probably best if you focus on what's getting produced, not who has the tomato, be

I'm always leery when the process gets more attention than the work. If your process has a name it's in great danger of getting too much attention.

My friends are pretty cool, with similar and different types of experience, but that's private in email. I wonder how many large or small communities exist in email? I guess only the NSA and Google knows.

It's amazing to me that anyone speaking that point of view has any credibility at all. With anyone.

The spirit of Postel's Law applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Postel#Postel.27s_Law Upvote a lot. Ignoring is usually better than downvoting. Flag anything that's a blatant retail advertisement. "The best shoes at rockbottom price
