The fact that its so low is kind of disturbing, and the fact that you're so cynical about it being so high means maybe you should reassess your values.

Timeshares are implicated in so many unethical scams and schemes that at this point I think we should just outlaw them entirely.

I think a lot of good ideas in tech get communicated to people who want a cargo cult and don't understand the underlying good ideas until agile becomes a flavor of waterfall, test driven development becomes development with tests, and

I've never understood people's attitudes towards cheating, which is perhaps why its so prevalent. People cheat at sports all the time and people just sort of accept it. When people cheat in school, we just kind of go "well, y

Agile, but reinvented, until it becomes full of gurus, coaches, and certifications, at which point we will declare it dead and continue to reinvent the saming manfucturing system we've had since Deming in the early 1950s.

Fines are generally made small enough not to be overturned, so the agency doesn't have to waste money litigating it, while also typically being large enough to change future behavior. They're not really retributive so much a cold

I don't like this authors approach. Always ask the question, but never add complexity because you assume you know the answer. If you have "multiple layers of indirection" that is "unused" because of paranoia that yo

I'm actually more excited that they found a use for very small segments of graphene, which is needed if we're ever going to produce higher-quality, unbroken strands at scale.

I don't want my password to be something I leave behind on everything I touch, which the police have because I was arrested once, which can be ascertained from high quality photos, and which I can't ever change once stolen.

There seems to be some confusion. I am saying the top is American - at least as I was taught it in school. The bottom is the more typically British variant. But I think the reality is the both America and Britain have variations. To an Amer
