Neither has been anything more than a TMZ clone. Why would anyone in tech read either one? Especially Gawker. Gawker is about as relevant to technology (or anything besides the latest celebrity gossip) as People Magazine is.

Agreed. I don't think the sentiment intended was reflected in the words of their post.

Absolutely. It is a powerful tactic. Impede or shut down their business, destroy their reputation, and then even if you can't do anything to them legally, you have still achieved the same ultimate damage. And, my initial response to se

Gladwell always points out the 10,000 Hour Rule, which only becomes more depressing as you age. In my mid (almost late) thirties, I now sit down and think about all the things I don't have time to become an expert in, even if I want to

I can empathize with much of what he wrote. I built a fairly popular site back in the late nineties that I only finally terminated in 2010. It had a very dedicated community of about 100,000 people and did many millions of dollars in busine

Let me get this straight . . . you guys: Someone came into the channel and addressed the group with a colloquial "guys", by asking "guys, can you recommend a library?". The author of this account, who is admittedly preoc

Well, after all, our whole political system is founded on "if you don't like it - leave". It's not like we've built any mechanisms into the foundation of our system such that you should stay around and help with the

Actually, it's almost certainly as the other person stated - for administrative moderation purposes. There is no other purpose to maintaining historical backups of this sort of data. Especially not when that costs money. When I built a

Many Americans also pay for both of those without being eligible to receive either of those benefits. I count both of those items as additional taxation, in my case.

I agree with freedom of the press, but not freedom to extort.

Try being listed by some angry vengeful anonymous person on that rip-off report website that will never remove anything under any circumstances (including lawsuit - and the founder claims to live a reclusive life in a mansion guarded by sev

Agreed. Any site that offers me real value -- enough that I would return regularly -- is a site I'd probably give a few dollars a year to, rather than have ads. Of course, if I'm just a hit and run seeing your site once or twice a

The best thing that could ever happen for Linux is for Microsoft to follow in the footsteps of Windows 8, with their design for Windows 9.

Well, of course they will. Cost has no relevance, here. It's all about cutting off our noses to spite our faces. "Fine, you're going to shut us down? We're going to chop the most publicly noticeable and sympathetic thing

The most important reason we have to insist on the "rockstar programmer" being a myth is that it takes attention away from the CEO that wants to be the rockstar. Rockstars also have more leverage, which chaffs the suits who want y

I don't understand the popularity of Candy Crush. It's just a less complex variant of Bejeweled style games. Mobile gaming is littered with them. I played for the better part of an hour before hitting the eject button, but plenty

Politicians, government, and many government employees are petulant children that will take their ball home the instant they feel they're not getting their way.

The solution I would like to see is that instead of just offloading the cost of individual health care to the collective whole of all America, we address the underlying absurd costs of healthcare, itself. If healthcare insurance were treate

Yeah, but that's a small price to pay for every single person in the country to get excellent best-in-world health care for absolutely free. Right? . . . . Right. . . .? At any rate, the NPR calculator only works if you enter the numbe

If working fewer hours is better and increasing minimum wage is better, I don't see why we take stupid baby-steps? Why don't we just have a five hour work-week with a minimum of $500/hr?

Yeah, it's one of those "evil US exceptionalism" things, where Americans work a heck of a lot. If you're working less than 40hrs/wk, you're working part-time. In most professional/knowledge type industries
