The author really likes to mention how very true and factually accurate this story is.

It is nearly unbelievable to me that this hasn't been done already by shipping companies.

The recent update of the default subreddits was nice, until it just decreased the level of discourse in those previously excellent subreddits.

The Verge has always been a Google sounding board. Anything Google tends to get very high reviews.

Always for new and interesting AR stuff, but the website has my eyes hurting. Everything overlaid on top of an image is barely readable, and even the video is hard to watch with the background behind it. It's really a stark contrast to the rest of the site.

While I completely agree with your point that there are things that are better shown then described, it doesn't seem that difficult to say, "The home button is positioned such that it is too easy to accidentally hit it."

This is troublesome to me. I'm just completing my MS in CS and have been coding at my job, but all of that has been on private repos (and have been rush jobs at times so they're not the most well formatted).

I can't share any work code I've written, and the projects look terrible. Would having several commits that say something along the lines of "made it look like less of a hack job" be a good idea? They can go back and see how terrible it looked before, but it was for a class and I had to get it done before I could start on my other class's assignment.

I feel like what I've written could get me a junior dev job, but I know I would quickly outgrow that based on the work I've done before (or maybe I'm giving myself too much credit).

I have mixed feelings. There are some laughs that I really enjoy, but the main character is just so awkward. I realize it's meant to represent the programmers out there who are exactly that awkward, but I just can't stand it in real life or on the big screen.

I find the supporting characters much more funny and enjoyable.

The gulf war, apparently. However, that's not the point. If you watch to the end, the officer explains that the cost of one of these slugs is only 25k yet it performs the same role (and more) of a multi-million dollar missile that a ship can only care a handful of.

And boy has the US Military fired a lot of missiles.

I use a Nexus 5 but recently I got a notification from MyPermissions [0] saying "Twitter for iPhone gained access to certain permissions." I checked it and it said it had rights to post on my behalf. I quickly removed all permissions as this was rather suspicious. I would recommend doing the same.

Likely current infrastructure along with receptive local governments. Some cities/major metropolitan areas may have special contracts with ISPs to only allow them to sell service to their area. I know that Comcast has a serious hold of the Midwest with AT&T trailing behind and Time Warner Cable has the Northeast.

It really is worth it. It is a pain to first set up and change every password to some random string (which most vaults will generate for you), but after that it's smooth sailing more or less. I recommend LastPass, it's free (unless you want the Android app, but even then the premium account is super cheap).

I'm a little sad it doesn't include the Proto-language root.
