Maybe ecosia?

S-Bahn means Schnellbahn, not Straßenbahn - so it's probably not ironic.

If the only backups they have are so old that they are deemed obsolete, that's essentially having no backups at all.

How do the Dutch come into play here? I am confused.
So what? This is not the US where people are sentenced to multiple life sentences. It's the UK, which has a different view on crime and punishment.

I think he is saying that it works for people who are either "at work" or "at home". Once you want to have your work notifactions during your leisure time, it gets complicated.

Maybe he has to support a family or relatives - who are you to judge how he spends his hard earned money?

Just because your job is in Manhattan, does not necessarily mean that you need to live in Manhattan (especially not in that $15k/month penthouse).

Alternatively, you could continue using your editor of choice for editing and use grep to identify TODOs in your code.

Re: Amazon Sales Take a Hit in States With Online Tax on Tuesday April 22, 2014 @07:39AM (#7627031)
I concur. But from what I've read online, you'd be the only person that "suits up" to go shopping at Walmart. (Do not live in America, though.)

Ordinary users do not want to disable JavaScript. Hell, they don't even know what it is. Advanced users like you can still use NoScript or about:config.
Re:Writing Idiomatic Python Book on Tuesday April 01, 2014 @03:35AM (#7506673)
This marketing site fails to answer the most important question: What's the value proposition? Why should I care writing "Pythonic" code?

I'd love to write. Which pen should I use?

Short answer: it does not matter. Writing matters.

Off topic: as someone who grew up learning British English, ars[e]coin is a very unfortunate name.

What's your point? That it's okay if police in Canada do it, too?

The falsity of a given (prominent!) data point just puts the care and diligence of the author into question and plants doubt in the reader's mind. It doesn't imply the validity of an opposing narrative.
Re:Everpix was great. This is how it died on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @05:54PM (#6679086)
Top of my head: Patrick, Thomas and probably a lot of other HN regulars.

Looking besonders technology: lawyers, marketing and branding consultants, and, last but not least, management consultants.

$2000 is not outrageous.

Re:Everpix was great. This is how it died on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @01:19PM (#6676882)
Let me break this down a bit: USD 500k at USD 2k/man day = 250 man days

A US man year has ~235 man days, so that's just roughly 1 external FTE for a year. Not so much, actually.

Re:Introducing Google Helpouts on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @05:24AM (#6674320)
Think about it: most Google users did not even use Google Reader. So: no, this does not happen in "real life", just in geek circles.

Re:Poll: What are your liked and disliked programming languages? on Thursday October 10, 2013 @09:24AM (#6527465)
I just upvoted "php - Like" and "php - Dislike", because I both love and hate working with php.

I guess I'm not alone...

Re:Android recording all your moments on Google Map on Wednesday September 25, 2013 @07:26AM (#6443826)
My life as a consultant confuses the heck out of Google Location History/ Now/ Maps.

Hotels are identified as my home address, client sites as work... come to think of it, maybe Google's right in the end and my perception of having a flat that's my home is off. ;)
