It was not my intention to come across that way. The person I was replying to took the position that diversity should be a huge focus when choosing the speakers. I don't know whether or not minorities were considered in the first place, but

>It's rather clear through their actions and words that the organizers didn't have the goal of diversity when choosing the speakers. That was their mistake. Why is diversity a noble goal in choosing speakers? Like he said, would it have

Wow, 18,500 employees let go. I wonder whether or not the unions think that they made the right decision. I can't imagine it's currently easy to find a job as a baker.

The RDP complaints sound justified to me. Fading, sliding and other animations sound like they would cause a headache, as would the hot corners.

Where is this love of the Start Menu coming from? Can't people just type in the name of program they're interested in? What does the Start Menu offer that people miss?

He's also got a really great set of videos on Computational Finance. I haven't seen the Discrete Mathematics or Computational Biology videos, but I imagine he does a good job there as well. I believe all of these videos are also available o

Interesting, a chapter on quantum algorithms. I've often wondered whether there might be room for novel research in this field if quantum computing became more practical. I'll definitely give this chapter a read. Thanks for posting it.

It was blocked on my network when I clicked it by accident. We'll see if anyone runs over and yells at me in the next few minutes.

Is PyQuery fast? The whole premise of the first point was that BeautifulSoup was too slow, but then he didn't provide a comparison between them.

I imagine the problem he's addressing is what you're going to do in any instances where a member lost money and you'd like to reimburse them. In a traditional company, this might cut into your profits, but might simply be the cost of doing

I think the idea is that when kids are growing up, they make subconscious connections and observations about the world around them. If a young child plays video games and consistently sees that boys are always the hero, they might extrapola

This experiment would have been equally disturbing to people had he done everything the same but not held a camera. The camera is not what is creeping people out. If I was in a classroom and someone came and stood five feet away and just to

Yes, he spent 26 years studying Buddhism so he could get media attention. What's with this dismissive attitude?

They really need to bring in some of their better product evangelists like Scott Hanselman for these kinds of major launches in my opinion. He's a guy who can speak well to an audience and is certainly technically capable enough to know the

Wow I was looking at this exact account after that globe post haha. Bizarre. Also there is an (inactive) GooGuns_Staging: https://twitter.com/googuns_staging As a note, the last nine digits just alternate between 200000000 and 350000000.

I thought they were forced to change it because of a similarily named Metro AG[1] were they not? The author sounds like they haven't even heard of this so maybe I'm mistaken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_AG

You guys do a really great job. To be perfectly honest, I've kind of fallen out of love with web development in the last year and have taken more of an interest in algorithmic trading. I appreciate the interest, though. :)

I was watching a CNet livestream where the commentators were absolutely livid about the announcement. I don't have a tablet of any kind so don't feel strongly either way, I was just curious if their anger was felt by others. It doesn't see

I'm pretty blown away they're already on a fourth generation of iPads. It seemed like they just released the last one not too long ago. Are people upset over how quickly it released or happy to have a potential upgrade?

They're pretty clever. When I started programming in 2009, I wrote a small scraper that would create accounts, friend people and steal their info if they accepted. (I never released it past my own friends list and never sold the data). Ther

I've always assumed the attack vector was to leave the sticks lying around. If I'm not mistaken, some people have left them at banks in hopes that the employees will plug them into one of the computers there to see what's on it. Almost ever
