   Subsidized housing, day care, etc? Food stamps aren't a great example because you can sell them. You can't sell the $800 you save in subsidized housing. You can't sell a service.

   You completely side stepped the question. I find it absolutely amazing how naive BI supporters are. I grew up poor in a ghetto in New York. Studied, went to university, became an engineer and am no longer in that socioeconomic bracket.

   I think it would be accurate to assert that mathematics helps create a logical thought processes which is the only way to think about programming. Additionally, some areas of mathematics are nearly identical to their programming counterpar

   I always thought that correctness (in computer science) only asserted that an algorithm acted as specified. For example, say the specification was: The input accepts an element in the set of real numbers, and the corresponding output is th

   I haven't gotten a chance to read the entire paper however the reference to the Therac-25 in the beginning was slightly tilted. Yes - it was a programmatic error that dispersed a deadly amount of radiation. But, if I remember correctl

   P.S. The articles is beyond stupid. I use to love technology because it was apolitical and was never muddled with things like "race" and "micro aggression". It seems like every tech article I read now has something to

    I am very much torn between this on multiple levels. On the most superficial level, I do not want development to become "blue collar" because I am a developer and don't want to think of myself as blue collar. With my person

    Disappointed. I thought the article was going to focus on why a computer isn't even necessary for a computer science degree. In other words - how a computer science degree is mostly just a degree in mathematics, and a lot of the codin

    You realize that offensive web application pen testing is only a tiny corner of the whole information security industry, and that most information security professionals don't find bugs. A good portion of InfoSec professionals are not

    My experience is fairly similar. How often does SQLMap (or another SQLi automated tool) fail to recognize a hole that is later uncovered through a manual investigation?

    I played with SQLMap a bit on Kali. Easy tool to use, plays nicely with SOCKS5/TOR. I'm amazed at how prevalent SQLi is as an attack vector still. With PreparedStatements/PDO/other query libraries I would have bet thi

    Midazolam (100mg) + Fentanyl (100mg) = definitely end of life. A rhino couldn't survive it. Additionally, there would literally be no discussion about the effectiveness of it to cause death without pain. It would be nearly instantan

    Currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Exploding the Phone By Phil Lapsley. Atlas Shrugged is an amazing account ofIndustry and government. Lapsleys book is a bit dry but it's a quick read and very informative

    Does the book address the issue of specialization in the professions and either exempt it or adapt it to the thesis?

    I share a similar fear. I am a 25 year old dev. I have a bachelors degree in comp sci from a large state school. I have an internship plus an additional year of experience under my belt. I am constantly aware of the age of my competitor
