These are the assholes who said that maintaining the only good GUI open source mail client was a distraction / waste of time.
Now we find out they're working on half a dozen hardware projects? And an entire goddamn OS?
Is there a reason there isn't a single link or source?
Upper right corner: "FLASH SALE: SpyShelter Premium 1YR 33% OFF!"
That managed to make it through adblocking and Umatrix. I am somewhat surprised that they only seem to use Google Analytics, though. Very, very little in the way of third party javascript for ad networks and analytics/tracking.
That quote is ridiculous. Anybody who's ever been to a gun show can tell you it's one of the safest most orderly mass congregations of people you'll ever have the pleasure of attending. The stuff that's for sale adheres to strict local, state, and federal laws. And there is no tolerance by the show management, attendees, or other vendors of shenanigans.
six people shot in one week at gun shows.
That's just one example. Googling "man shot gun show" yields a veritable treasure-trove of examples of accidental discharges at gun shows.
Kind of an odd definition of "safest most orderly mass congregations of people you'll ever have the pleasure of attending", seeing as how I have never been to an event where anyone was shot, including a 4th of July concert where there were a million people.
NYC is infamous for things like cops running out into the street and attacking cyclists, or parking their cruisers in bike lanes and then ticketing cyclists for not riding in the bike lane.
Despite the public outcry and idiocy of that, were up to the same thing the next year.
" There's a reason that Tour de France competitors burn 7000 calories a day."
Yes, there is. They're the world's most competitive cyclists, racing at speeds about 3 times higher than your average transportation cyclist, and remember that air resistance is a function of velocity squared. The power they're capable of generating, for hours on end, is nearly an order of magnitude greater than a person who does not cycle regularly.
"Bikes take very little energy to be propelled forward, but they get that energy in a horribly inefficient manner using an energy source with massive environmental impacts."
Aside from the fact that many people over-eat and thus need not consume any extra calories - food distribution is incredibly efficient, the cost of fuel for distribution is built-in to the cost of food, and the number of additional calories needed by someone riding a few miles a day amounts to a very small percentage of their daily food budget. Simply adding a slightly larger portion of carbs - one of the cheapest food sources there is - is sufficient.
There's something like 1600 calories in a box of spaghetti that costs ~$1-2. So an extra 200 calories a day costs about twenty five cents.
How much do you spend on gas per day?
Boston's system does not show a flow through the system, because there is no system. Every department in the city has its own computer system, and it appears they've refused to unify them or link them together.
Essentially, your ticket with CC is closed when it gets entered into a department's worklog. Whether it actually gets done or not, you have no idea.
CloudFlare blocks Tor in practice, by endlessly forcing Tor users to fill out captcha pages. How is that not censorship?
Every time someone's used "bro" to refer to me, I've wanted to punch them in the face.
Why a woman was consulted on this, I have no idea. It's not a term that in any way concerns them or references them.
Boston has had an app like this; it's called "Citizens Connect."
Essentially, it's a very half-assed ticketing system. You open a ticket, and that's it - you can't provide any further information, or challenge a request, or re-open it. There is only one action city worker can do - "close" the ticket. About the only thing they got right was not forcing people to select a category; a team of staffers handle that.
What people quickly discovered was that city workers would just close tickets, regardless of whether the work actually got done or not. So, what you saw increasingly were tickets that said "STOP CLOSING MY REQUESTS WITHOUT FIXING IT."
That said...it beats Cambridge, MA's system, which has horrendously poor geotagging and only accepts requests in a few limited, narrow issue categories.
I have three or four of these apps for the various cities I spend time in now. It's stupid. There is a national service set up, but cities don't like it because it provides a lot of reporting to the public. City workers don't like Joe Q Public seeing how long requests take to clear and stuff like that. Makes 'em look bad....
Sadly I predict that many comments here won't get that. They will instead call him a pussy because he couldn't stand the heat, and acted like a girl by leaving. Let's see if I'm right.
If people sling misogynistic, sexist comments like that at him, then I'd say he was absolutely right.
Referring to women's genitals or their gender to insult a man is doubly sexist and inappropriate.
It certainly made sense in Korea, where Samsung has a 46% market share and Apple ~24%.
In the US? It's almost exactly the opposite - Apple has nearly a 50% market share, and Apple half that.
What the hell were they thinking?
Aren't many emoji combinations or modifications of other emoji? I seem to recall this was done (for among other reasons) to accommodate different skin colors and such?
This was the best I could find after a bunch of googling:
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
