It'd be interesting to see if reversal of the Flynn effect is correlated with massive unskilled immigration (esp from third world countries), which has accelerated in many European countries. If we examine countries with extremely stri

As I said, regularly losing mail. Regularly misdelivering mail. A lot of effort to get someone to even acknowledge the problem or even myself. My mailbox stuffed with junk mail all the time (even if I have permanent sticker telling them not

What they don't seem to lose is priority mail (I'm assuming it's actually tracked in a way that counts). They have lost plenty of my regular mail. Not to mention consistently misdelivering my mail to other mailboxes. One time

Having lived in four different US states and in a number of European countries (currently resident in Germany), all I can say is good riddance. USPS is by far the worst mail service I have ever encountered. It's so bad that there'

Please elaborate, not sure if you mean in a positive or negative way. For what it's worth, I find Reaper to be a lot better than Ardour in general. It just feels 100% professional and slick. The Ardour interface comes across like your

C is a far simpler language and C++ is at least an order of magnitude more complex (and getting worse). Complexity is inversely correlated with safety. Of course additional considerations (understandability, maintainability) are probably ev

Almost all of the software worth preserving is preserved. It may not be openly available (though odds are it will eventually be dumped openly on the net) but you can find pretty much anything you want if you put in some effort. It comes dow

It's not at all bullshit. The H1B criteria mean nothing and are trivial to game. They've been abused continuously to bring in entry-level talent, avoid hiring Americans and lower wages across the board. This is a great decision an
