You seem to have it backwards. The article is about how long-awaited changes to India's broken court system has produced economic growth and prosperity, and reduced the burden of stagnant, failed companies. This is almost an ad for inv

C# has a great set of options for setting that, it seems like a good candidate to implement such a system - most string manipulation functions take in a culture/use current culture enum.

It is very difficult to carry any firearms in DC, NYC, or any of the other major protest spots.

I don't care about 10 years, I would love 6. This would be the first shot I have at 5 with security patches.

No, not at all. The case for protected bike lanes is rock solid, but it's been tread so many times that it's only worth addressing the article itself: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_h

I don't see why you're being downvoted - you are correct, and it's doubly interesting because Zuck is telegraphing a Dem run in 2020. In literally any other situation I'd be the first to dismiss this, but it seems conven

I find it extremely dystopian that Zuckerberg will likely run in 2020

This is creepy, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's the place that gives a huge chunk of the population 100% of their news and communication also giving them "art"? I would be very uncomfortable if Fox made a well-f

It is not successful for the owners. It has been a very successful project for native advertisers of all stripes, and people that are insane politically (of all stripes).

God I agree, can you imagine how Ethan Allen would be covered today? I don't know enough to have a side in the Syria conflict, but man, the Green Mountain Boys weren't so far off from a lot of modern non-state actors.

That's a really good deal - mind sharing the manufacturer?

It has, huge chunks of the US have moved to the sun belt. Between 2010 and 2015, 500k people moved from New York State to Texas - more moved to Florida etc.

Walkability and density is a giant, giant factor, and no one seems to want change the status quo. Anecdata, but most of the 60+ year olds I know that spent their lives in the suburbs can barely walk, all of the 60+ year olds that live in my

Yeah, Standard is the intersection of the 3 APIs that MS says will work no matter which you target, without needing BCLs. Core is a bit different, but not that different from Framework API-wise, and it will run anywhere, but has no native

This is a lawyer, who can sue people at very low cost compared to the rest of us. If this is a regulated activity, it absolutely shouldn't be. This reminds me of the absurd barber regulations.

Shaming people for not doing something always feels weird. They're not saying anything against the Japanese LGBT community, and Tim Cook is openly gay. This feels like all those times people try to get Taylor Swift to tweet for their

This is very well done, very understandable, and really drives home the "F# is laconic" thing. The amount of text in those generated classes is shocking, for the same functionality.

? Downtown Baltimore is stuffed with people who are busy working, and it's gotten pretty expensive. Most of the urban core of Baltimore is nice, it's the areas outside of the "white cross" that are structurally fucked.

I'm not the world's closest observer, but those aren't perfect comparisons. The C-series nearly bankrupted Bombardier, and a lot of it's competitive advantages aren't things the market once. It's also much smal

To me, that fact used to seem simply protectionism, but honestly it's very reasonable. Google and Facebook in particular are a security agencies dream - people volunteering to share messages, location, what they're reading, who th

To me, there's a difference between something you need to live that was made poisonous by the government requireing aid and former managers pulling pensions of $200k+ a year. If I lived in Michigan, I'd have a big problem bailing

Oh you're definitely correct, I was just surprised when I learned that fact, and there's a bit of a "No WMDs at all!" echo chamber.

Though your broader point holds, they did in fact find WMDs in Iraq, but it wasn't really big news (or especially serious weapons) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_and_weapons_of_mass_destr...

You're overestimating both the level of skill required to start and the cost of living in Alabama. Alabama is CHEAP, and taxes are very low.

Wouldn't that let you perform even crazier levels of tracking, and expose my (barely anonymous) browsing to the entire world? Wallets might be just a bunch of characters, but I bet you can figure out who I am from my url trail alone, g

Isn't that top 5 greatest questions? I don't think anyone has an answer - I'd say for the purpose of the exercise, you have to just suspend disbelief.

Huh? All (?) of the XML parsers/unmarshallers I've ever used have been type safe - certainly the built in ones in C#, Java, and Go.

But uniquely among all countries, they're very likely to be of the same ethnic group, and speak the same language as their rulers. You certainly cannot say that of Brazil, Russia, hell even of the US. Han Chinese is by far the largest
