This article is utter rubbish. Anyone who possesses an elite education will never suffer in their life. They're in the upper-echelon of society. I have no pity for them and they are not at a disadvantage.

Go ahead an ask anyone accepted into Yale if they'd trade it off for the same major at po-dunk State U.

What do you think their response will be?

Don't be daft. This is trash.

I don't understand what that means. Do you mean that it will be updated automatically on your Safari once you download it initially?

Something about giving away all of my browsing information to Google in total puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I'd rather stick with Firefox and use DuckDuckGo when I want to run an unfiltered(ish) search.

The problem with that theory is that China is not some primitive savage culture that has no idea how to "copy" Facebook (like savages who "copied" runways very poorly).

Chinese could easily copy Facebook and call it something else but with built-in restrictions that they're looking for. They take our tech and perfect it for their culture. That's not identical to a guy in a hut with a wooden walkie-talkie. Sorry.

The only difference would be is that it's a closed network. Doesn't mean it's "less" or "primitive" or "savage" when compared to Facebook. Just different.

I have a question: what's the benefit of using a text editor when an IDE can perform compiling/interpreting for you at the ready?

Is a Emacs/Vim for coders who don't have to worry about minor errors?

I'm relatively new to programming and I'm curious.

A lot of people need to use Facebook to stay in touch with family members and friends they otherwise would not be able to communicate with due to distance, past, or what have you. This is a problem of "not enough good competition." Facebook has a de facto monopoly on social networking. Google tried in vain, but they lost miserably. Until someone can step up to Zuckerberg, Facebook will do what they want when it comes to shitty news, annoying notifications, and over-bloated web design. I've used Facebook since the day it was released. It used to be really, really good. Now it's just crap. I hope a new competitor shows them what's up.

I ask a lot of question, and thus get banned from asking more...

I wish they would have a "luxury" option for like 49.99 a year where students could ask like unlimited questions.

Is this crazy?

Apple is going to take a hit on this transitory MBP no doubt. But the successive ones will do much better in the eyes of the market when USB C cords become the norm.

If you read on HDMI's website they say the USB C to HDMI direct cord will be coming out in 2017. So maybe Apple jumped the gun a little bit, but I think they're eyeing the future.

Plus all the pressure on 3rd parties to deliver will mean the ecosystem will rapidly change in the same way it did when they removed Floppy Disks and CD Drives and VGA ports, etc.

Can you elaborate? I don't understand.

It's 3 in the morning and I've been tinkering with Emacs since Noon. Is it just me or is Emacs oddly addictive?

Emacs is s o f u c k i n g h a r d t o u s e

You forgot Stirner.

What are the top IDEs for C++ and Java for macOS? Thanks.

Yeah but if you want to develop in C++, Java or C# you're gonna need visual studio thus rendering macOS useless.

Why can't you let women decide whether or not they want an abortion?

If you don't like it. Don't get one.

We could learn a thing or two from the wise Chinese: they have unlimited legal abortion. That's a system we should model ourselves after.

It's not your body; It's not your choice; the glob of goo is not a person. Pretty clear. You wouldn't call a zygote a human being would you? A sperm? An egg? The "pro-life" position is purely based on Abrahamic religions. They then covertly deny this when you talk with them.

This is just more patriarchy determining how a woman can or cannot use and live with her body. It's so wrong.

Stop trying to equate a glob of goo with a person. Please stop. It's nonsensical.

Good luck getting it passed in California. I voted already to ban it (and against the law proposing to speed up the death penalty), but according to all the major polls done on it, it won't pass.

Californians are, by and large, religious savages. They'll toke up before slaughtering prisoners like farm sows.

3 strikes? You're out. Thank prison lobby! On death row? Hurry up and die you sow!

Pretty pathetic. Thinking of moving to a more progressive state like Oregon or Washington.

U-Block Origins. Always.

Depends on the field, but a lot of this is a result of the "publish or perish" capitalistic model poisoning academia. You can't go to any university today without feeling the effects of a massively over-bloated bureaucracy and administration. Before this massive bloat, most universities were controlled and run by professors believe it or not.

It's a glorified iPad. I had one and the keyboard was sub-par junk. I actually switched it in for an Air. But maybe that was just me.

Ah, the fine print. So refreshing.

I was debating on saying Mi¢rosoft, but I decided against it at the last minute. Oh well.
