It's as if the people paying for this app aren't actually the ones complaining. Why wouldn't they complain if it was a scam? Because they're not actually using it. It's a money laundering app. If you're just la

An infant mortality rate far above other first world nations isn't a health care problem? We're talking about kids too young to be be gunned down, so they're not part of America's remarkable teen-gun-death statistics. Th

I'm confused by the headline. The quote from Apple is that they're computing trust scores for your devices for when you attempt a purchase. It sounds like the more you use the device, the more trusted it is. That brand new device

This is true of every generation that has grown up with computers and video games. It's also true of any generation that grew up with manufactured items. Really, our ability to create has declined with our need to create. Who needs to

I'm guessing I'm a generation older than you and I agree, my generation built a lazy, useless generation. My parents say the same thing about my generation.

Typing a word into Google gives you a sense of accomplishment? Wow. When I was a kid (and by that I mean all the way into university), we had to go to the library (an actual physical place that wasn't our home), look in the card catalo

I believe you've swapped the narrative. A lot of people work their ass off just to pay the rent and feed their kids. Working your ass off does not imply wealth. That's the problem.

Given that we introverts are a minority, I'm not sure how you've managed not to notice those people who hate silence and solitude. Perhaps you've spent too much time alone?

If these men were good at the managerial jobs, why was the company ailing in the first place? Maybe firing them all was the right move, but it was too late to repair the damage.

Having a publisher decline to publish your unsolicited article isn't censorship. It's business. Why do people not understand that their right to free speech does not obligate (oblige?) others to give them a soap box or even listen

It's rather a simple algorithm: 1. Do I average more than 10k page views a month right now? No: Buy license good up to 10k page views per month. Yes: Contact them about a bigger license. You're not asking how to measure your own p

I think you may have misinterpreted the license. There's no pay-per-view. From the description: "It is also available in web font formats for self hosted websites (up to 10K monthly pageviews on average)." You buy a license f

I'm having trouble with your logic. The very fact that poisons exist in the first place cannot be a coincidence. The very fact that pointy sticks exist in the first place cannot be a coincidence. The very fact that razor blades exist i

Or the question is "can we solve this better with the actor model", which is what I asked my team last week. None of us has any experience with the actor model, but rather than dismissing the question, we're investigating. If
