If we consider the difficulty in obtaining disability benefits and the difficulty in keeping them, we should also consider why someone would go through the hassle. I don't think that the benefits are all that much (I could be wrong).

As of 2011, there were 3.5M disabled veterans, of which 800K were receiving significant disability benefits. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_...

Well, I for one, have used it successfully four times (and no failures yet!). From my experience, if I focus on the domain, and play around with it for a while, I will start to see a structure behind it (different from a relational structur

Some people (like me) actually prefer this style of writing. I find the factors that you find nauseating to be stimulating. I get bored too easily reading common prose. So, when I find something like this (or others on the chronicle) it

Extrapolating a bit, I'm guessing that she means that it doesn't make much sense for most individual homeowners to manage their own electricity production and storage. Instead what you'll see is more communities adopting Mic

It's more like if you had a server and a client. If the client understands the server packet, then it can perhaps do something with it. The packet contains some information. But, the developer may package it in an infinite number of

Art is a communication mechanism. So, I guess in my mind, your question would be similar to asking what's the gradient between a simple and complex binary packet.

There's a gradient between the abstract and the non-abstract. And, the artist decides the position on the gradient based on their communication intent, the subject (the perceived audience), and the object (the perceived thing), even i

OO just helps me understand the code (assuming that it is well-written, which isn't always the case). I don't understand the hate. I have always imagined that it was just a natural progression from procedural code: 1. Put a bunch

Define valuable. I live in Northern Virginia, where a good acre of land can cost a million dollars. Yet, I can drive 3.5 hours and get to land that's worth under $1,000 an acre.

Don't get me wrong, some of it was refactoring. So, there was quite a lot of copy-paste / text replacements. A lot of moving things here and there. Splitting classes. Encapsulating stuff. Creating new libraries. Etc. There&#

I decided to do a total re-write of one of my applications over the weekend. 30k lines later, I'm wondering if this at all feels similar. When I'm alert, jacked up on caffeine, I can keep track of 100s of classes, 1000s of method

It's about time that high-end coders are getting the prices that they deserve. Many skilled coders aren't skilled in the art of negotiation, and that ends up bringing down the market price for everyone. I've seen far too ma

I disagree; I think most people desire privacy. It's just that the speed of technology change has been faster than social awareness. For instance, most people understand cameras - they've been around since birth. And, most would

Again, I could be using C# stupidly, or the existing code that I have could be all hacked up. But, it seems like C# is trying to be everything to everyone. There are too many features of the language that allow things to be done many diff

I used to be a hardcore C# developer. From the initial beta of .NET through v3.5, I used it at least 25% of my time. But, since then I've not used it. Last year, I inherited a .NET v4.0 project, so I've been back in Visual Studi

Well, we could always do an experiment to see if you're right. Let's assume that you aren't able to use any existing education or connections, you start off with significant debt, and you are located in an area with high unem

So, you're saying that you want another Great Depression? That's generally not considered as a positive period of time.

Isn't it true that children regress toward the norm? For example, two very tall people will more likely have a child that is shorter. Or, is that wrong?

If that's the case, wouldn't it also be useful to genetically engineer 'drone' Humans who happily do all of the hard work?

Technically, wouldn't it be a strange thing for a Human (or any species) to help perpetuate DNA within their own species that is not their own? I can see raising a child that is not one's own - because it's enjoyable and fulf
