I wonder if you can use "cromulent" to guess the age of a person. Older people would not have watched the Simpsons in the early 90s. Younger people very likely missed this obscure episode. I would guess an age of the user to be 30

We hire mostly junior developers. I give a simple whiteboard interview with 3 questions, and encourage them to solve it with mostly pseudo-code but have a few "extra points" things that I'm looking for. Absolutely avoided any

Since development of medications is such a heavily regulated industry, it seems to me the correct course of action is through regulation. Require a testament of some sort of the drugs' tested effects on different races. Or maybe requir

Can someone explain the disclosure procedures that were actually followed? It seems like everybody freaked out at the same time. AWS had apparently already protected all but a "small percentage" of their VMs. If there was some kin

We need to be careful that our news outlets do not become basically state media when their party/ideal of choice is in power, and opposition media when their party/ideal is not. It appears that is what we are leaning towards right

Well then you seem to agree with me? I'm quoting experience casually reading various articles in my lifetime regarding the machines. Again, I am not a scholar in this field.

I agree they are probably going to be hesitant to put a note on there saying something like "property owner is afraid of fake swat calls" or something like that. But they do indeed put notes like the exact ones I mentioned in my c

I'm no expert, but every criticism I've ever seen of people's attempts at perpetual motion always seem to involve the fact that some part will wear out eventually. Such as "magnets will lose their pull over time" or

Having done work on 911 call-taking systems, I can tell you that they do have the capability of placing notes on properties. Things like "large dog in backyard" or "known gun owner." That way they can inform responding

I appreciate your making that game, it and Adventure Capitalist have been my mainstays :) I'd love to know your thoughts on monetizing with reward videos. It's how I am thinking of monetizing my own idle game.

Good for him, your friend has every right to protect his life and property. We could rely on police, but all the police can be guaranteed to protect is his body after they show up 5 minutes too late.
