>> Speech without thought isn't free speech. That's a rather strong opening to limiting free speech. Who gets to decide that my speech was without thought? Is there an approval process? Can I repeal the decision? Do I have t

At what point do such things change into a public discourse problem? Do we wait until it can be shown that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. influenced elections because they refused to serve information from a candidate the

A simple, yet clearly unsympathetic, view to take is that a business does not hire you to make sure you are happy. That your needs to meet a fruitful and positive life are actually met is not necessarily in the best interest of the business

For anyone who hasn't seen it... First, go watch it before the rumored Ryan Reynolds remake. It's a fun movie and holds up fairly well. Second, when released for home they rolled all three endings into the storyline so you get to

What determines a "spy"? What prevents every other contact from being a "spy"? What prevents a foreign US agent approaching a target to have them tagged as a "spy"? The whole thing is a farce designed from the

Clearly no modern person has the moral high ground on anything when looking through the lens of history. I'm surprised the world hasn't fallen into total anarchy since no one can stand up and say "That's wrong!"

Personally I find the idea of a bank supporting such an outdated browser disturbing on a security level.

Well, considering there are devices out there for the purpose of signing names repeatedly, I would say your example doesn't necessarily work. Totally depends on the situation. And why the assumption that modern versions of jQuery don&#

Well, it could be. As long as #foo exists on the page at the time that line is executed. If you inject #foo into the page after load then the click event won't work. The jquery example delegates #foo, so it can be injected in the page

I don't think I would agree with the usage of the word "lazy" to describe coders that want to rewrite entire chunks of code. They may have their invalid reasons for wanting to do so, but I wouldn't call that being lazy.

Interesting things people are saying in that forum thread. Claims that deleting the related file causes the game to no longer launch. Why is that necessary for marketing tracking or were they just too lazy to skip over that particular file

Who created CSS as we know it? CERN. More or less. Who first tested and implemented CSS? Browser programmers. These days it's under the control of committee. I think I would disagree with the notion that CSS devs are the ones to blame

Wait, front-end developers who use CSS created the problems of CSS? That's really funny. I mean, that's the most mind-blowing accusation I've heard in a long time. I would have to suggest you are commenting on a topic that yo

The reason it's funny is because there's an element of truth to it. Just like with most of the politically-based comedian routines over the years.
