  1. No matter on Electron and the Decline of Native Apps (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 2

    how much computing performance we gain over the years, worry not, for most of it will be squandered on ridiculous development processes and frameworks in the name of reducing headcounts and making it quicker to develop software.

  2. Re: Notes is maliciously bad. on After 23 Years, IBM Sells Off Lotus Notes (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are the admin, you can trivially give yourself âsend as userâ permissions.

  3. So who is supplying buses, trains and the like at no cost? Who is driving them out of the goodness of their hearts and takes no salary for the job? Oh wait, so it's not free after all, but taxpayer-funded? Why don't you use the correct words?

  4. Re: LOL out of business within one year on Tumblr Will Ban All Adult Content On December 17th (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They were removed from iOS appstore outright because their porn filters were not good enough. Thatâ(TM)s likely to have more impact on business.

  5. Globally, sea levels havenâ(TM)t risen. Itâ(TM)s apparently quite convinient to ignore areas where sea levels have stayed the same for many decades or even receded and instead only focus on areas where itâ(TM)s risen. Do so many people genuinely think that the fact that sea levels have risen someplace automatically means they have risen everywhere? Newsflash: it doesnâ(TM)t.

  6. Re: The desktop is dying! on Tech Shoppers in the UK Ditch Desktop PCs and DVD Players (ofcom.org.uk) · · Score: 1

    A 600 eur iPad Pro from last year, at the things it can do, basically runs circles around most 1000 eur PCs of today.

  7. Re: Men need not apply on Google Cloud Executive Who Sought Pentagon Contract Steps Down (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Youâ(TM)re describing how it has worked for millenia, but what is also thankfully on itâ(TM)s way out

  8. Uhh, what? on Most ATMs Can Be Hacked in Under 20 Minutes (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    What are you talking about. Why would an ATM have wifi-anything and why would you have an ATM with an ethernet cable accessible in a timeframe that less than what it takes for cops to arrive?

  9. Re: A modest proposal on FDA Seeks Ban On Menthol Cigarettes To Fight Teen Smoking (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    In all fairness, the profitability of illegal tobacco manufacturing and/or smuggling isnâ(TM)t anywhere near close to that of something like cocaine.

  10. The chairman of the board does not âhold the reignsâ, but, the CEO who does hold them answers to her

  11. This notion that there are enough of these higher up jobs for everyone whoâ(TM)s ever worked helpdesk and wants to move up is quite hilarious.

  12. Re:You get what you pay for? on Mozilla Is Reportedly Going To Sell VPN Subscriptions Within Firefox (trustedreviews.com) · · Score: 2

    You have ZERO reason to trust a free VPN service, because it means you are the product.

  13. Re: Abuse of the law on DHS Seized Aftermarket Apple Laptop Batteries From Independent Repair Expert (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but you donâ(TM)t get to use the Apple logo when you donâ(TM)t actually own the trademark

  14. Being at the whim of Google and Microsoft, regarding which of your outgoing mails they are going accept and which ones they wonâ(TM)t. THAT is not a fun experience at all.

  15. The world has gone insane on Half the World Is Now Middle Class Or Wealthier, Says Brookings Institution (brookings.edu) · · Score: 1

    when people who can only afford a 2 year old iPhone instead of the latest one call themselves poor. Lack of actual, serious, genuine trouble such as mass war, famine and roaming rape gangs apparently does seriosly crazy things to the psyche of a lot of people over many decades of calm.

  16. $1 per user/year and 1.5m users - wouldn't even pay for 10 active developers.

    You barely NEED 10 active developers for something like Whatsapp and Twitter. The fact that they have hundreds (thousands in the case of the latter) only shows how ridiculous companies become when they start swimming in money.

  17. Re: Death of the controller on Xbox Announces Mouse and Keyboard Support (ign.com) · · Score: 1

    Skill-based matchmaking makes this a complete non-issue. You get matched against people of roughly your own performance level, regardless on input method used.

  18. What's hysterical is people out there in the world working under the assumption presumption of innocence actually exists in places outside the courtroom.

  19. Switch to Linux? Ha-ha.

  20. Countdown to on PlayStation Now Is Making Its Games Downloadable (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    this feature getting immidiately yanked as soon as the DRM is cracked.

    On a sidenote: will this finally allow resolutions higher than 720p?

  21. Re:What's bad about starting at 7:15AM on MIT's Elegant Schoolbus Algorithm Was No Match For Angry Parents (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 2

    What exactly is bad about starting school at 7:15AM?
    For most people, that means drop the kids off at school, then head to work.

    It's only a problem if you've organized your life around the 9:30 start time. The change would be difficult for some. (I suspect that for many it would be less difficult than they make it out to be. People often complain loudly about change, then when that doesn't work they make some simple adjustments to adapt to the change.)

    In Europe, many countries are considering moving the start of the school day from 8-9 am to 10, because it is simply neither healthy nor productive to wake people up so early, child or not.

  22. Re: Why Twitter? on Should The US Government Break Up Google, Twitter, and Facebook? (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is getting really old: for the 637236th time - different rules apply to a business deemed to have a monopoly or a near-monopoly position in the market they operate in.

  23. They may want and/or need, but are unwilling to pay for it.

  24. Yes, you are. What people under the jurisdiction of the UK legislature can or canâ(TM)t do can and is legislated by... *drumroll* UK lawmakers. Goverments generally do not give two shits about âbut in this other country!!!1â. They have jurisdiction, they have the mandate, they make the rules. Apparently itâ(TM)s news to some people that many western goverments already legislate precisely the type of thing being discussed here: in some circumstances, companies are forbidden by law to offer their shares for sale to people who are not âqualified investorsâ and who those people are is very much decided by the government. And all the âbut this is global phenomenal, you cant stop it!!!11â people are very naive in thinking that for some completely unknown reason, governments of other countries will continue ignoring cryptocurrencies, should they grow to the point of being a notable issue.

  25. Donâ(TM)t worry, you will just pay more for not using the watch.
