Bill Hicks was popularizing social critiques that no other comedian (in the 1980s) was touching. Lenny Bruce was dead, and George Carlin was still fighting the long-dead culture wars of the 1960s.
You are right, though, Hicks wasnâ(TM)t actually funny, just perceptive.
There's a small but (until now) growing cottage industry that has helped heavy users of AWS get compute time very, very cheaply. Basically, if you can divide a huge compute job up into a large number of short, nearly stateless jobs, then you can launch a bunch of nodes, run them for less than fifteen minutes each, terminate them after the jobs run, and not have to pay for CPU time. This new move by Amazon puts that to an end.
Mark Zuckerberg has been untrustworthy since Facebook's inception - in fact, before that. For the few who don't already know the story, he stole the idea from the Winklevoss brothers, and did so in a particularly underhanded way, by pretending to code it as a work-for-hire but then running off with it for himself. In fact, Zuckerberg himself calls people who trust him "dumb fucks". On that one point and that one alone, I'm willing to take his word.
It would be very, very strange if a company started by a person this amoral was based on ethics and goodness.
There are actually very few undocumented immigrants in the United States. The millions of illegal immigrants in the country are mostly documented in one or more databases.
But Canadian money does have a real and considerable threat physical force behind it, unlike Bitcoin. If you don't think it does, try counterfeiting the Canadian dollar in any useful quantity and see what happens.
Thank you for saying this. I currently commute "only" an hour each way, and I've "only" been doing it for three years, and I feel like I'm dying on the inside. I was wondering if I'm just a whiner, but I suspect lots of people with my schedule feel the same way - they just don't want to say so because society rewards Good Little Troopers.
Plus, BART is becoming extremely unpleasant. It's dirty, smells awful, is overrun with freaks and assholes, and is painfully loud. I live about three miles from a BART station but I avoid it whenever possible.
Clearly they are now responsible for content hosted on domains they register, since they've exhibited the ability and willingness to filter based on certain standards. Have fun with that, Google.
People are getting sick of superheroes, and that whole "invincible asskicker" wish fulfillment fluff. That also goes for Star Wars, which is approaching Star Trek-like levels of tiredness. Netflix should pass on all of this instead of doubling down on a genre about to implode.
There are few organizations on Earth I hate more than Uber (see Disney), but in this case, Kalanick is right. An investor isn't entitled to every piece of information one of its assets has, and even if it did, rolling back a shareholder vote is a way, way too extreme measure to deal with it.

Yep, thatâ(TM)s one of the many things âoeSilicon Valleyâ got right. Hooli Chat sucks.

No offense, but that theory makes even less sense that âoeStar Wars: The Last Jedi.â
There is no more EPA. It's gone. This article has no meaning and should be filtered out as noise.
No? Then it's not glitzy high-tech enough for me.
Absolutely. Now that they've closed the loophole, people can use that (and pay for it).

That claim is entirely unsubstantiated. The ACLU isn't perfect, but they're not some kind of anarchist menace.
What are you talking about? I get angry and curse from time to time, but I never call anyone a ñigger.

Why would you have to sustain organized crime with a fundraising effort? Shouldn't moneymaking be the point of organized crime in the first place?

... by actually existing someday.

I'm fairly certain the "Russian golden shower" thing was fake news.
A week ago I would have modded this offtopic. Now I'm just mad you beat me to it.

Prozac, Ritalin, Red Bull, and Dockers.

Despite his explicit statements supporting diversity and the need to create policies that promote it?
No. That show was never funny, nor interesting, it's just that everything else on TV at the time was even worse.
