He's not interested in helping anyone but himself. IDK how stopping this stuff helps him exactly, but his actions make a lot more sense if you look at them through that lens. Negative repercussions for the US aren't necessarily ne

Nope, took about an hour but it's flagged now. IMO the people doing the flagging just don't want anyone to think about this stuff at all.

Someone wrote the following comment then deleted it. I spent 30 minutes on my response and wanted to post it anyway. Apologies if the original comment was deleted by a mod, I hope this is OK to post. ---QUOTE--- My "test" for vide

Personally these and the Wikipedia posts are my favorite posts on here. News is cool, but there's a lot of cool things that don't change very often, and I love seeing those things too. Also, in response to your "low effort po

But then people could just get a list of ad hosts and modify their hosts.txt to redirect those addresses to localhost. I think there's other ways to stop this though. It doesn't seem like a huge stretch for ad providers to give ho

Pretty sure you can do that with Alexa. There's one in my office, and my co-workers use "computer" as the wake up phrase.

Well, it's easier to lie about things when there's not any hard data available, and they do seem to lie a lot.

It's not that the cards were marked because they were asymmetrical, it was the combination of the asymmetry and Sun manipulating them that caused them to be marked. So other games with those cards are fine as long as none of the player

You seem exactly like the type of person that should be here, don't worry :) I don't know what they meant by "unwashed masses", but it kind of seems like there have been a lot of new posters coming here to talk about pol

Right, but if you want to retrieve some data through their API, how does it work? Normally you open the connection, ask for the data, then receive it and close the connection, does that change if there's a 5+ hour wait between the ask

If you look around the threads here, dismissive once sentence replies are usually downvoted. You have to actually put "facts and reason" in your comment for us to listen to it.

That's weird because the Xamarin Studio installer definitely has an option to set your own API location.

Sorry about that, I have a bad habit of publishing my fist draft. I agree with what you've written. Like you say I don't think they're trying to avoid arbitrary stylization or selective metaphors, rather providing some arbitr

Material design is built out of this "material" that mimics some real world things like shadows for user affordance, but is mostly magical. I'm pretty sure the only real world metaphor they're trying to use for the butto

Personally I use a package manager called Homebrew. It's pretty good, I'd recommend it.

I don't know that it's an "epidemic", but houses are certainly getting bigger in the US[1]. I can see why a block filled with yards/gardens and small buildings is preferable to a block filled with large buildings an

I'd guess they just search by name, that's all they consistently have to go off for news stories from a third party.

I think the key word is "personally". That stuff doesn't equal a successful company, but it does look nice on a resume.

I don't think the creator is saying there is a problem, honestly. The language is blunt, but it really seems like a joke more than a statement.

This is hilarious, everyone who's taking it as a call to stop using this template is taking it too seriously imo. It seems more like good natured ribbing - he's right that these Bootstrap sites tend to look very same-y, but as he

Seriously, this is clearly a joke and he even says the template is nice at the bottom. There's nothing wrong with using this template, and I don't think the creator of this site would disagree. People seem to be taking the blunt t

I think they could do all the stuff that makes it unhackable in hardware, and/or they could make it so updates aren't installed while the phone is locked.

At our company we kept getting emails from them on email addresses that are only used to send data to our service. This was starting to become a problem, so we called them up and asked them to block that domain. They said no. Eventually the

You make a lot of excellent points but I think you might have misinterpreted my comment, because it doesn't seem like we disagree. You mention that evil cannot be defined in precise terms, and that's exactly what I'm talking

It applies to video recordings. Most cctv cameras don't record audio for this reason.

Well if you want to get really pedantic, nothing is inherently anything because all meaning is constructed in our minds. Evil is a word humans use to categorize things, not a description of objective reality. I would agree that most people

Well for one thing there's often stuff on Massdrop that you can't get from Amazon. If the item is on Amazon it's generally about the same price, but I've definitely picked up things from Massrdrop that aren't on Am
