Depending on the product, enterprise customers also publically and strategically source from multiple vendors to ensure they're not beholden to vendor lock in.

Consumers rarely act in so organized and thoughtful a pattern.

I believe Tolkien directly said it was about mortality, and that power was a sideshow to move the plot along.

The power of the ring is primarily to delay the inevitable and it corrupts all who cannot accept that.

No mention of finger, port 79.

or perhaps the USB logo for USB only.

Minor correction, that was the sound check for The Mugar Omni Theatre. On which they did project many distorted IMAX movies because Omni never really made it as a popular format.

It was bizarre then. I was very skeptical the first few pages. I did not understand that the adolescent cheese was tongue in cheek until the second chapter.

You can have all my digital shit. I'll still have it.

I could not disagree more. Going to university was possibly the worst mistake of my life. What an enormous waste of time to say nothing of money. I have not witnessed any special social experience at any university or college. People are the same there as anywhere else. Unless your profession absolutely requires a university granted certification, do not waste your time.

The lack of bicycle lanes in Japan always seemed odd to me. So many bicycles on the sidewalk.

I disagree. Denying that online cultures exist is just as silly as denying that quality software cannot be written by remote people. You've just posted to a very distinct culture.

All of my remote gigs have had very different cultures. People communicated, friends were made, etc, etc.

jpegrescan AFAIK is the gold standard today. https://github.com/kud/jpegrescan

I've had the best luck using opitpng and then pngout.

The second also tend to call themselves Anarcho-Capitalists, much to the annoyance of actual Anarchists whom are more related to Marxists.

Just opt in. Explicitly.

Portland isn't really dense urban, though, its has some nice neighborhoods, but you're best off bicycling between them through long stretches of residential houses with big yards.

Its not HTML5 video. Shame.

Does anyone know enough about I-frame frequency limits in H.264 or WebM to tell us weather Randall could have included the pitch drop experiment?

And like rangevoting.org mentions, Range Voting technically may give you the least regretful results, but its a great deal more complicated than Approval Voting, which is dead simple and nearly as good. http://rangevoting.org/Approval.html http://www.electology.org/approval-voting

Who, pray tell, are the real intellectuals?

If Clapper were removed from office, his successor would have to take the damage on. Clapper will be scapegoated for as long as this fracas lasts.

Here's an insightful reddit comment from /r/changemyview

Q: The United States is moving towards facism CMV (sic)

A: Does the US exhibit some fascist traits? Sure. But I'd contend that we are moving farther, rather than closer.

> Engineers tend to overestimate the impact of "intentions" on "systems"

Everyone does. The comfort of the loonier conspiracy theories is that someone, somewhere, however evil, has a plan and is in control. And you can blame 'them' and their competence for your misfortune.

Denying that conspiracies exist by people who do have some influence and leverage over systems is the other wrong extreme.

There are plenty of good and evil intentions and plenty of conspiracies. Some of them kind of work out, rarely exactly as intended, and there's also lots of chaos.

http://www.reddit.com//r/AskHistorians/ is easily my favorite subreddit. The quality of the lengthy submissions and the fanatically rigorous moderation is amazing.

http://www.reddit.com//r/DepthHub/ is a great highlighter for introductions to quality subreddits. Its how I found /r/AskHistorians/

http://www.reddit.com//r/BestOf/ is good too.

Other than that it depends on your particular interests.

There is an outstanding problem that subreddits I would love exist but are hard to find. However that does also protect them and their mods from the slavering hordes of captioned gif posts.

1993. I considered registering cocacola.com, sex.com, shell.com, etc. etc. Spent the money on consumables instead.

There are few moments I remember as clearly as making that decision.

In, for instance, US presidential elections, unless you live in one of maybe 3 to 5 states the probability of your voting affecting the outcome of the race significantly is near nil.

However I still vote, just to show pollsters what support exists for my (very) minority political positions. Or at list as close as I can get to them with the few minority candidates that make it onto the ballots.
