I think it's worth keeping in mind that HN is visited by international audience, "most exams" will be clearer with geographical attribution. I guess most exams worldwide are pen-and-paper (which is not necessary bad, btw)

>not permit certain automation such as insurance claims I don't see any problem in automation which does mistakes, humans do too. The real problem is that it's often an impenetrable wall with no way to protest, or appeal, and n

It's pretty trivial, and really doesn't require much explanation. It doesn't contradict to what I wrote: there's no sign for the bill to be one party push over others opposing it (as stated by the comment I replied).

It does only if you prefer to take the "army" part absolutely literally. Which you shouldn't because, as clearly stated, it's a joke. Literary German is governed by the one regulatory body - Rat für deutsche Rechtschrei

Sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory. I maybe not that good in British politics, but googling reveals that the bill's text was prepared by a committee involving members of Conservative, Labour, LibDem, and Scottish National Party. The

Mechanical keyboard, I'm afraid, is unlikely to fit in a small device. There's always compromises to make between portability and comfort.

Almost every time I see some of those minidevices I feel an urge to buy it. And I have no idea for what use. I guess maybe it feels like a tech toy, and it somehow appeals to my inner child.

It's not impossible to enter a market offering better services for bigger price than you competitors really. Or having better tech it's possible to attract enough investments to overstay lowered prices. Or use other ways which def

You should realize that the second part of your claim is just a postmodernist mantra (written to sound fine, links to reality skipped). In observable world one needs better economy to contribute more time to not-for-profit activities. While

The issue has its context, and producing outrage out of thin air to shame a commenter into submission ain't helping you to make any point, really. It's a well-known fallacy which you are invoking

You mixed up a lot of things here. On practical side: execs, and accounting already legally must do paperwork, however shareholders want them to go well beyond that. And you can't force people to do job properly just by legally obligin

US taxes were pretty cumbersome before Intuit et al. Intuit wouldn't appear if not that. So your quote may partially explain resistance to change, but not causes.

It's possible to be marked as PEP, and be unaware of it. Teams which do research to compile PEP lists are expectedly incompetent when dealing with non-English-speaking world. I know a guy who actively participated in an electoral campa

On my book it's fair, but I suspect in some countries it may lead to legal complications. So I recommend not to replicate the approach before making sure it won't backfire.

I see where you are pointing, of course, but what is economic advantage, and for who? I suspect that whatever meetups are rather a social byproduct of whatever people concentrated in a place where US-specific culture of networking reigns. F

It's verbose for sure (though Pascal's overall amount of boileplate probably takes less space compared to Java code). Structurally it's almost the same beast (both inherited from Algol), with notable exceptions like for loop.

I think it's better to avoid time-related adjectives like "archaic" when talking about PLs. For starters it doesn't really mean much in general: in software development fashions come, and go, and then reappear as "n

You are right, except it's called freedom to produce, and disseminate information. "Press" word being a mere technicality of bygone era is used now to manipulate society to believe that it's media business, or journos pr

Well, we all know what's going on here: some journos would like to have a legal moat protecting their jobs from being eaten by tech. Branding it a "freedom" issue is 100% manipulative, and this may hint at why trust in media
