It's true that very good looking people will have no trouble getting dates for every night of the week. But if you take care of yourself and put effort into your online profile, average looking people should have no trouble finding a

ding ding ding The number one rule in dating is “be attractive”, and I mean that in the broadest sense: be someone that other people want to be around. It doesn’t mean you have to be devastatingly good looking (lord knows I’m not), but if

Thankfully, no (knocks on wood). But you have to base your design around the idea that real and fake trades are indistinguishable until the last possible moment. That critical requirement needs to always be in your mind. I would never try

That’s indeed a problem, but it can be mitigated. If you have a low-latency trading component written in Java, a common trick is to continuously bombard it with ‘fake’ inputs to keep the desired code paths nice and hot. The fake inputs shou

I was just thinking that this would be a great way for Zuckerberg to garner some positive press for a change.

That was my first reaction too: it risks damaging the valuable organs that they’re going to extraordinary lengths to ‘acquire’. The testimony came from an officer who stood guard while it happened.

Supposedly the prisoners were alive and conscious while they were cut open and their organs removed (no anesthesic). If I’m going to die, I think I’d rather face the firing squad and get it over with. And then there’s the extraordinarily p

Unbelievable. It would be an atrocity merely to rob someone of “non-vital” organs that they can live without, like a spare kidney. To murder someone and profit from the sale of vital organs is simply beyond my comprehension. I cannot fa

Also, the intense secrecy surrounding arbitration proceedings. If I have to give up my right to talk about how I’ve been wronged in order to even seek a remedy, then that is reason enough to ban the practice. This makes it a first amendm

And let’s not forget one of my “favorites”: ads before the content. Sure, for now it’s mostly just promos for their other shows, and it’s generally skippable, but that’s how it starts. They ease you into it, like boiling a frog. HBO and A

Also, all the legacy content creators are clinging to their old production models and airing shows one episode at a time. Just sign up for one month a year, binge, and cancel. Or do it twice a year.

The suit was filed before the latest generation of iPhones was shipping (hence they are not affected), so it definitely predates the arrest.

Or course it’s unfair. There is no ‘fair’ outcome to something like this. Everybody got scammed. The entire ordeal is reprehensible, but what are you going to do?

That’s true for `async` methods, but keep in mind that you can `await` any value in C# that implements the ‘awaitable’ pattern. A custom ‘awaitable’ can perform its own scheduling however it likes, including when it begins its execution. T

Someone did: PalmSource (the software spinoff from Palm). It was to be the basis for their Palm OS “Cobalt”, which was eventually abandoned. Or by “someone else”, did you mean someone other than PalmSource ? Let’s be honest, though: most

If it’s not based on total compensation, employers will just use that as a loophole. Compensation will shift even more heavily away from salaries to “additional” income.

I’ve owned three or four Seagate drives (at least two of which were enterprise-class), and they all failed. My many HGST disks, with one exception, were all still alive and well when I retired them. I’ve never had a WD disk fail.

You are most valuable in a position that leverages your existing skills and expertise. Those positions are the most likely to be covered by NCAs. Not only is 100% not too much, but it’s the minimum that should be required. The cost of

60%? Forget that. Why should anyone give up their right to work for a little over half of their market value? There is no excuse for allowing less than 100% compensation, and that should include not just salary, but projected bonuses.

Supporting cross-platform WPF (or WinForms) at this point would be a terrible idea for Microsoft . These frameworks have been around for many years, and many (if not most) of the applications built on those frameworks make heavy use of thi

Some shared connection (a family member, maybe?) probably let LinkedIn scan their mailbox without fully understanding the repercussions. If that person had a persistent inbox like gmail, and ever been in email contact with the both of you,

Yes, exactly. There is an inherent and substantial lag between the time when 25,000 new job ‘capacity’ is added to the local labor market vs. when that capacity is filled. Obviously, the mere presence of another employer seeking out highly

No, I don’t think 25,000 positions will disappear. I think many previously filled positions will become unfilled as those employees get hired by Amazon. Obviously, many (most?) of those positions will in turn be filled by someone else

What is with all these posts that just assume that 25,000 new humans are going to be plopped down in NYC? Has Amazon come out and said that they’re going to be relocating 25,000 employees here? If not, then I suspect a solid majority of

I’ve never used a snap, but I believe they have a snap manager in the curated section of their App Store, and it looked pretty straightforward.

What do you want to know? I'm pretty pleased with the X1E: it's not quite MBP-level thin, but it's still a great balance of power and portability. NotebookCheck has a review that's worth checking out. elementary OS feel
