I'd be interested to hear if anyone here has a counter example. I certainly don't. I don't seem to have every got anything useful out of it.
I can give you three examples from my own experience.
1. My LinkedIn connections (former colleagues, mostly) have contacted me to see if my employer is hiring or if I can submit their resume for a job posting. I have helped many folks secure jobs this way.
2. I have also been approached by people in my LinkedIn network, asking if I wanted to come work with them. I have gotten several jobs that way. (When I wasn't even looking for a job.)
3. The reverse of #2 -- When looking for people to join my team, I go through my LinkedIn network and ask folks if they might be interested in working on a new project.
The best way to find a rewarding job is via networking (i.e. word of mouth), and LinkedIn makes networking very easy. The best time to recruit someone (former colleague) is when they are not looking.
Build your own PC for the same price as a console with more power and greater functionality.
More power and greater functionality is easy enough, but for the same price as a $350 PS4? It is difficult for individuals to compete with Sony's volume purchasing power. Even a low-end $100 PC motherboard is certainly more than Sony spends on their motherboard.
Yesterday I picked up my kids' old GBA and rummaged through their stockpile of games, which inludes original GB stuff. I never noticed the innie vs. outie grips until you pointed them out. Another big differentiator is that the GBA (GBC?) carts are half-length, relative to the "big" GB carts.
At least on some models it extends to the heating and cooling controls. My buddy's 2014 Lexus SUV was affected, and the A/C and fan controls were unavailable. Lexus said he could either disconnect/reconnect the battery or bring it in to the service dept. He chose the latter, and they "fixed it" in 45 minutes.
There is an easy solution to discourage people from trying to read all short URLs. Make the algorithm pick one in every thousand, or ten thousand URLs, and have the others automatically serve ads.
Someone clever enough to search a shortener's address space is probably smart enough to skip ads (i.e. not bother downloading ad content). Now, if you put an annoying CAPTCHA before redirecting to the original link, that might keep people from searching the address space. Of course it would also kill your user base, since CAPTCHA is a PITA.
You missed his point, which was to summarize the business case for a company to provide URL shortening services (MITM data mining).
Your point about use cases seems to be from the users' point of view, which is different. I agree with your view (who wouldn't?), but it is orthogonal to the parent post.

That may be true, but your constant spamming annoys a much larger group (not that you give a shit).
Worse than your spamming is your trolling. Again, not that you give a shit. I only ever see your posts because I browse at -1 so that when I have mod points I can mod-up underrated posts. I don't need to waste my mod points on your posts because others have already "destroyed you". Sorry for borrowing your catchphrase (not that you give a shit).
Don't waste your time replying. Or waste your time, if it suits you (I don't give a shit).
For a second I thought you might be a teacher (they get summer off and they often earn lower wages), but then you threw me that "interchangeable" curveball.
How do you test the circuits? How do you know that Joe's Random Generator is truly random?
I work for an SSD manufacturer, and when you want to get your product FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) certified, the testing lab will pull several hundred megabytes from your RNG output pin* and conduct some type of analysis on the data. I believe they also asked us what the RNG algorithm was (i.e. something from NIST, etc).
*Our first SoC (system on a chip, ie an ASIC) did not have the RNG signal brought out to an external pin, so we had to have a few parts put through a FIB (Focused Ion Beam) process to expose the internal RNG signal, which the lab could then probe. What a pain in the ass.
It's not a movie or a book and thus it's not "sequel". And I do not have a server which serves sequels therefore it's not "my-sequel-server" either.
I suppose you would be inclined to refer to MS-DOS as emm-ess-dee-oh-ess. And you certainly wouldn't have called it a "Das Box", because it wasn't a "box of das".
Get real, dude. A lot of us say "sequel" because we don't want to spell it out (verbally) as ess-queue-ell all day long.
Now that's way over the top bullshit and you know it - you really only get 120 hours of sleep a month and work 120 hours every week?
Stop making shit up. From his statement he gets 4 hours of sleep after going home, i.e. per *weeknight*, but he could get 10 hours' sleep per night on the weekends, for all we know. And he said execs work twice as much, so if most people work 40 hours, then he is has an 80-hour work week, not 120. Even if "most people" work 45 or 50 hours, he would be working 90 or 100 hours, still less than your 120.

Well, nobody thinks a $400 box will do 4K. Double that, at least.
Good link - thanks. Better info than TFA!

Its not gaming in 4k. Only video and menu output. Games are still going to be 1080p.
Where did you hear that?
TFA said "4K resolution and richer graphics, according to the unit’s chief executive".
Interesting bit of Gameboy history - thanks!

Or next week on /.
Saw that one coming. :-)
Luckily its only the infotainment

Apple is just often among the first to adopt the coolest and most fresh hi-tech.
Well, that didn't help 1394/Firewire become popular, sadly.
I'm a damn mathematician you ignorant fucktard but I've got more culture in my fucking dick than you've every seen.
And Culture is what, the name of your pet goat?
It was a fun visualization, though!

I'm okay with most typos, but that one rubbed me the wrong way, for some reason.

Pardon my asking, but what type of job affords nine weeks of paid vacation? I'm envious!

thank you for the link - I haven't laughed that hard in ages!

Admittedly, I do buy the occasional bridge.

Oh, come on. I'm sure Clinton spent at least $5/mo on her bathroom-closet co-lo email server.
