Of course, blame the education system for your own poor skill as a writer. Sarcasm remains, as it always has, difficult to pull in written language. Always funny to see bad writers blame their readers though.
I like you said "got arrested" instead of "got thrown into jail indefinitely". Are any Occupiers in prison without having committed crimes worthy of the sentence? Or are you just being extremely hyperbolic?
If that was the case, then why are the CEO's putting their personal names on the line? It's trivially simple for an expendable PR person or lawyer to go on the blog and make an "official" statement ghostwritten by the…
>It would be really cool to have a personal 23andMe api where people can test themselves without sending data to a 3rd party. The point of 23andMe is that they're trying to figure out what all the data means, using the…
It's probably simple: "Is this hearing of the same security level as the information being requested? No? It's public with the press writing about it? Deny. Deny. Deny." The fact that the article posts a VIDEO of the…
>Logical fallacies are only relevant in certain narrow rhetorical modes and contexts. Specifically, logical fallacies are only relevant in rational arguments. The only quote that matters. People who use logical…
You've been brainwashed. There is no such thing as a free lunch. All services cost. Who will pay for your free service? Venture capital only lasts so long. The best option for consumers is one that meets their needs for…
Let's take some shaky numbers: In 2011 Zynga had US$1.1 Billion in revenue[2] and the video industry was worth about US$74 billion in the same year. Assuming that Zynga's revenue is solely derived from gaming (I didn't…
Such absolutist, black and white descriptions of these situations are, quite frankly, terrible. I mean, you take business and politics and compare it to a life or death struggle against cancer. Could you be any less…
Why only Huffington Post publication? They're widely known for alt-medicine and anti-science, and anyone reading science/medicine should rightfully be wary of anything on HuffPo, which has often lent it's publicity and…
Yeah, to each their own. You still sound extremely anti-science to me, so it's very clear we're going to have diametrically opposed opinions. Thanks for sharing!
It goes to show you, even adults with degress can act like children. If you had engaged me in discussion, you would have realized that the assumptions you made were incorrect. Instead, you're the jerk who flew off the…
>Look into the history of health advice and you'll find the same pattern: something is said to be healthy and people are told to do it. Later it is found to be unhealthy, often dramatically so. Cigarettes and…
Hey, just jumping in, I have a BS in Biology and api's post here is full of non-scientific and pseudoscientific garbage. I believe he suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect and his completely unsourced post should…
I thought Persona was an _idea_. I personally haven't seen a single Persona login in the wild.
I agree. I love OAuth idea and the single-sign on flow. I love having one source where I can go and see all of the sites that have my info, and I love being able to rescind my account from that central location.…
Why do people assume that voxels and polygons don't play well together? There are voxel engines now that store world data using voxels while what the player actually sees is polygons based on that voxel data. I'm…
It's not that simple. When you access an American network, your usage is governed my American laws -- period. You make it sound like if you hacked into Paypal from Germany you'd be completely immune to American law on…
Honestly, I'm just glad someone took that Gangnam Style pistachio commercial out back and shot it finally. I'm scared to even mention the commercial though, in fear that I will go home and be subjected to another 20-30…
Yep, I love Netflix and loved every second of House of Cards! Although I have the opposite issue with Netflix. Lack of constantly added content makes their library feel stale at times, while every time I hit hulu.com it…
>Hulu, Netflix and Amazon all produce original content and are perfectly positioned to disrupt them as their distribution volume increases. Uhh, as a Hulu subscriber, I'll just let you know: If I only had "Hulu"…
I mean, you mentioned Google, so yes, expect 200-300+ character links for the most simple of urls, with about fourteen layers of different metrics baked in. Nothing worse than trying to get a link from Google search…
I've always chalked it up not as advertising but as branding. Those commercials serve to build a brand around a product and keep current owners involved in the brand, through feelings of superiority or whatever. It's…
>From my point of view, it's just very difficult to continue supporting the video game industry anymore. Don't judge an industry by it's rotting old guard. Nintendo has been making blunder after blunder for quite…
Everything was stable, I streamed the entire event from Verge pre-show to the end screen without a single hiccup or drop. I also had far less criticism than you did for the presentation, I found it similar to what Sony…
