Malcolm Gladwell also talked about it in the book "Talking to Strangers." It revolved around a breakdown on communication between the two and assumptions that they each had for the other.

Aren't the other members the ones that Netflix is disrupting in the first place? What can it hope to gain from this?

(Honest question)

Did this one come with a DVD drive? You can swap out that for a secondary SSD

I did exactly this a year ago but one caveat to note is that if you're using an external monitor, the video card in this one doesn't support a good resolution. I'm stuck with 1080p.

Are there examples of products made today that have this ethos of lasting for a lifetime?

As a side note on cars, what are some cars that would last a long time and are made of parts that are serviceable?

Serious question, is this a bug in Chrome that affects all cookies or is it something specific to that reddit.com cookie?

It might be the case that Reddit or another vendor just adds that cookie from other sites (like within a share button functionality)

You don't use GitHub or LinkedIn or Skype either?

You might also rely on sites that are built with Microsoft technologies (Stack overflow for example) or find that your workplace gets by with Excel.

It's hard to say you don't use their technologies.

That's not quite the same thing. He went there to find people who would be the type that go to events like this.

If you want to compare apples-to-apples, your friend would have been invited to Burning Man as part of the process of investing in his company (with it being implied that it is in their best interest to attend).

I just wanted to say that this article displayed quite nicely on my phone and was nice to read through.

On the topic, I do believe that there are worthy stories in video games that can be translated to the screen not just for those who don't play games, but also for gamers who want to relive some of the story without the tedious bits in between (like farming for XP or upgrading).

The new tomb raider was probably the closest so far. I liked the tie-ins with the game and the actress did a great job of bringing the game character to life. The few things I didn't like were some of the acting and one-dimensional supporting characters. Also some scenes were just contrived, but I suppose that creeps in according to budget and timing.

If you're in Toronto, the Fifth grill has one too. It is such a long ride for such a short distance but pretty cool. The elevator is about a hundred years old

They would have had a long lived token though
