In my use case, large data processing, I would prefer slower processing in exchange for lower memory requirements. The more ram it eats the sooner my processes have to hit disk.

Litigious candidates can sue regardless of what you do. I refuse to let shysters, either opposing or my own counsel, determine how I interact with people.

Years ago I took a course on the ethics of war and we had a couple of readings on the neutron bomb. They seemed to be a good idea only to the "better dead than red" crowd. While less destructive than conventional nuclear weapons, neutron bo

It gets more costly over time. There's not much that can be done to increase the efficiency of building a stone wall, except for prefab when it's possible. All other goods become cheaper to produce so the stone mason becomes more and more e

RICO is both criminal and civil. It often gets used for civil matters because it trebles damages. Besides the typical mafia/corruption cases, it comes up in protest/activist lawsuits, i.e. SLAPP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsu

I wish this was done more often. When I read the paper I spend most of my time wondering why an article was published and who made the phone call.

Don't listen to HR. They are full of shit. It's not a cultural thing. It's in HR's best interest so they just repeat it over and over again.

I disagree. They need one serious bidder and one competitor who wants to screw the serious bidder.

You don't need to scrape for each tweet. Scrape every active user every couple hours/days depending upon their tweet frequency. Not much point in having a database up to date every second since processing it in real time is almost impossibl

Treasury bonds finance Federal spending which ends up in the hands of the private sector--a much broader swathe of the private sector. Buying them from the private sector just means a select group of banks get to slice off a chunk before it

I think 10x understates the difference. Python (not familiar with Ruby) eats memory so for a lot of the number crunching I do it turns into a swap disaster. End up with Python using up 10% of the processor waiting around for disk I/O.
