I think it's this unconscious desire to share strong opinions about any large enough bit of news. While I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to have personable opinions about anything large or small - I've noticed

For whatever reason this immediately made me think of NJ's laws requiring an attendant to fill up your gas tank. Does the law apply to electric charging stations currently? If it does, I wonder what this innovation might mean to that

Could you point out specific ambiguities in this set of rules if you agree? The only significant one (in my opinion) is a lack of definition of DPI.

Oh wow, that's a great point. I've always tried to compromise with opponents by agreeing that increased competition should alleviate many of my fears but now that you've mentioned it - I could absolutely see a HULU.net com

Personally speaking, I worked 2+ years at a company where I slowly realized that I was worth more than what I was being paid. I didn't push for a raise very hard, but the more responsibilities I acquired, the more products I built, th

I think the main point is that while no platform is 100% safe, you can help alleviate the issue by reducing risk (in the case of the original commentor, they were emailing passwords to themselves). Of course there are limits to any measure

Quell riots and looting. You don't need trained snipers, full body armor and APCs to do that. Not for a town of 21,000. They were sandblasting saltines.

I always thought the issue with Ebola was how quickly the host dies. If there were a period of about a week where no symptoms arose, then the virus would become significantly more deadly. Until then, it doesn't seem probable that the

Exactly. Things may take a completely different meaning depending on the people you're with. I remember a conversation from a while ago when young me called a gf of mine the "prettiest black girl ever." When she asked me, &q

What are the use-cases for something like this? I'm really curious because for me personally, if I were to delete something later then my opinion is that I shouldn't have posted it in the first place. Of course typos and mistakes
