Solutionism rears its ugly head

You think you should have nuked the Russians for their own good? Horrible people

Yeah just a little joke. Good job on the film though, that was definitely influential.

Do you know unix?

Renting from a library does in fact pay the author, at least in the UK

I'm not sure that's correct. As far as I'm aware they can't claim to have evidence implicating the suspect if they don't really have it.

I remember Alt-J performing a cover of "A Real Hero", another song from the Drive soundtrack, at Glastonbury festival years ago. The film and soundtrack were really cool.

How do you fix those problems then? Let’s say you have a “last page” button in the UI for example

He resigned due to having sex with his wife? In some marriages it may be an unusual occurrence, but I’m not sure why you’d have to resign because of it.

It's trickle-down programming. They're inventing the next big database technology or whatever by doing busy work and that will eventually enable somebody else to produce something of actual value to mankind.

Imagine what he could have done with a full head of hair.

Wow that is honestly much higher than I was expecting. I was thinking back to Dan Abramov earning half of that at Facebook.

Are you talking about US dollars? The salaries in the UK are much lower.

I don't remember seeing any here. Usually they're the crappy small stands where you slot the front wheel of the bike in. You can either only lock that front wheel to the stand or lock a wheel to the frame of the bike. Neither tactic is really secure though.

The sign of a person with taste and decency, theology and geometry.

Sounds like you’re still working through the trauma unconsciously.

Better to do it before the release then afterwards. I'm assuming this way nobody noticed the issue.

Also, would you rather everyone only ever posted about all the times they were successful?

The sound of a bell ringing is enough to get me salivating.

I would have assumed they fall foul of the IR35 rules. I’m assuming these rules are uk-wide, but I’m not sure

Was she really not working for the CIA? I thought it came out in the US court that she did

Why do you say appointments are a time stamp? They are made with humans in mind, people dealing with a local time zone.

In the example in the post you’re replying to, the time zone change means the time stamp would be wrong by an hour. This doesn’t mean that people should show up an hour earlier or later than initially intended!

I think this is the reason umbrella companies exist. You invoice them and they make the appropriate deductions for tax and social security contributions.

The blood or tissue needed to seed the process means it will never be considered vegan.

Worked well to what end exactly? They decimated the North Korean population and made an eternal enemy out of them. They fought insurgents for 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I assume that Russia doesn't want the same result in a neighbouring country.

Can anyone hear audio on mobile? I’ve tried it with both safari and chrome on iPhone and it’s completely mute

This website is basically treated as a forum, albeit lacking a lot of the features a forum normally has. Posts are not news, but rather an opportunity for users to hold forth on their pet topics.

This is why it isn’t really an issue when reposts occasionally come up, as it’s purely to generate discussion rather than to be treated as news.

Considering that the car was found with bullet holes in the roof, I think you're giving some very dangerous advice.

All the signs were there. If only we had eyes to see them!

What was true in the 70s and 80s isn't necessarily true today. Technology and attitudes both change.

I would say his readers count towards his network. I don't think this is any different to somebody announcing on linkedin that they're looking for opportunities.
