   Good explanation. But I have two questions: 1) So which "team" then takes ownership of the entire katamari ball of sprawling microservices and understands the interconnectnedness and nuances of overlaps and competition between eac

   I know. It perpetuates the racism and derogatory attitudes.

   The use of the word "Backward" is racist and derogatory.

   I have heard this term often but never gotten used to it being used to describe an entire ethnic group nonchallantly - like the comment you are replyig to. I have had several conversations with Indian colleagues where some would use this te

   Sounds like an apology. That's ok, I suppose. But I'd personally also love to see Microsoft pay Keivan for his contribution. It needn't be huge sums but something. No, not because it's the moral thing to do, but for th

   Interesting. How would a study like this isolate the impact of alcohol alone on the O2 and BP levels?

    Man, this hurt to read. Keivan’s response is the right one. But I wonder if the arrangements and outcome would have been different had AppGet been closed source. This is just not cricket from team Microsoft.

    Excellent! We need this for esoterically named Javascript frameworks too.

    It's very frustrating to read strong views without the views being substantiated. I know it's unrealistic to ask everyone commenting in such threads to prefix their commentary with "IAD" or "IANAD" (I am a medi

    Same. The last time I was this excited about an RDBMS in your pocket was when BerkleyDB released their Java database in a single JAR file. I am not sure when they initially released it but I remember doing some hobby projects in 2003.

    Correct. This is also double trouble when Microsoft changes the names of the same product for a future release.

    I think the writer is correct: there is a meme out there that in order to be great, a leader, a trailblazer etc you have to become inevitably the arsehole. So much so, that arseholism is not just tolerated but celebrated. I wonder why the a

    Thanks, always enjoyed BR commentaries on history and modern perspectives. Particularly enjoyed this one with CC on. "Don't upset the apple tart" for "grown ups had the apple tart" and some other Monty Python-esque

    Imagine a closed off room of 100 traders. There are three sets of people here: a group of pairs doing a transaction, a group of pairs negotiating a strike price, no deals yet, and a final group "sitting on their hands". Only the

    Thanks for your link. I read it. But does it explain/re-affirm that prices go down when there are more people selling than there are people buying?
22. 142.▲
    by ak39 6y ago

    I am saying that in opposition. Sellers do not overwhelm buyers _when_ the price goes down, or vice-versa. There is no "overwhelming" of one group over the other. Nor do prices go down _because_ of an independent phenomenon other

    For every stock sold there’s always a corresponding buyer at the market price.

    I wonder if this somewhat “explains” the awkward silences of strangers in confined spaces such as elevators. Fascinating theory.

    Your comment made my day. That professor is one incredibly great teacher! Imagine indeed if all teaching was done like this. Standardised testing and reliance of testing memory is probably robbing generations of gifted students.
