I get giving Murray shit over his behavior, but giving Kelis shit about moving on, no matter how soon after her husband dies, is weird. Did you give Patton Oswalt any shit for getting remarried a year after his wife died? And mentioning their age difference would have more of an impact if the youngest age you…

The bandwidth itself is relatively cheap. At an average 1kb payload per request, Apollo’s 7 billion monthly requests add up to about $500 on AWS (where, as far as I know, Reddit is hosted). The compute costs of retrieving and assembling the request data are much harder to estimate but they’re going to be the bigger…

This just in, “professional” gamer is an idiot. 

I’m in IT at a major Fortune 500 company. No tapes. Tapes are a terrible backup medium.

Making bad business decisions is not a catch-22. Its not a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario. 

The only way to get a real answer on google these days is to type "reddit" after your query else its ALL ads.

This is awesome!

Big Tech can afford to make more layoffs, claiming it would actually increase productivity.

Good for you 

As if serving algorithmic gruel wasn’t your main source of income!

probably not at the pace most politicians want.

Ah, but you do.  You can just not buy the game until it goes on sale.   Steam is great for that. I wishlist that 80 dollar game, and wait for that sweet sweet 80% discount.  May take a while, but I have more than enough to play till then.   You just need to change your mindset.  Start playing older games, instead of…

Yes you do. Your choice is whether to buy or not. Why plop down $70 for a mediocre product that’s going to leave you complaining endlessly about it online?

Uh, you know not buying the fucking games is a choice right?

Fable made divorce more evil than murder.
