It's like flipping homes in 2007. You come for the ARM and the 20%+ annual increase and you get carried out in a body bag. (But, all the cool kids were doing it!)

Oh, come on, that's not fair. After I did a million lines in C (way back when), I still made mistakes (but fewer! still: not none!), but I had built better tooling and processes to help me find them earlier. I was (as you say) attracte

That makes sense. I get triggered by certain things as well (but as I age, less and less, I think?). I do appreciate the extended explanation. Your top-level comment was just not computing for me. I am curious about whether wealth inequalit

Thank you for that. While I believe that you are conflating a few corrupt corporatist systems, that (I believe) will not be broken up by freeing up IP; I understand your point much better now. Again - thank you. EDIT: I updated a grammar an

What are you talking about? This sounds like a Lyndon LaRouche screed. Can you say this in, like, normal English without ideologically biased adjectives? And maybe even throw in an example to clarify?

Pay criminals not to work? Somehow I don't think this is good PR... I don't disagree, but I don't know know if this is how the case needs to be made...

Any human that is driven to solve these problems will not need the government to fund them to do so. They will solve these problems with the very gumption necessary to bring their solutions to market (which $1M wouldn't help them do an

Ha! Jerry Yang used to camp out at my place or my friend's house in Tokyo when he went to a VLSI seminar as a, I guess, poor VLSI PHD candidate/student. We used to chat late at night, and I would say: "Jerry! Nobody is going

Dsig technologies, such as JSON Web Signature, require "canonicalization" (C14N), in order for the hashes to be consistently generated and then signed and verifiable. Here is one approach: https://tools.ietf.org/id

Uuuh. No. Did I imply that somehow? Either I can't write (which is possible) or you can't read (which is also possible), but where did that come from?

Anyone that thinks Mexicans are lazy have never worked beside them. But, one size does not fit all. My anecdotes to that effect are surely not data. But my friends of Mexican descent (Americans) don't like uncontrolled migration becaus

Thanks for the detailed and sincere response. I apologize upfront for not knowing who Mike Savage is, but it is my understanding that Limbaugh (who I don't listen to, so I could be wrong) is a guy that rudely declares that we should en

It was NOT Ok in the 70s. It was NOT Ok in the 50s even in social settings. This is kind of not funny (or rather, a bit painful), but it does mock what the US used to be like in the 50s about both political opinions and allowing certain peo

Your observation that small groups that are already friends having differing points of view does not make them "the other" in your mind, may well be the opposite of (Political) Twitter, which may well be why that ends up being suc

It's usually the vegetarian (vegan) that starts it, so if it doesn't turn into an issue, your SO has the non-escalation skills, not all of your meat-eating normies.

Didn't they do a number of short-pieces in various styles in Animatrix? That was interesting enough (for at least some of them, and a few tied into the video game "Enter the Matrix"). I don't know why they would extend t

Thank you. I still like my construction, because it comports with the other languages I use daily. (I also did not know it was fashionable, just that I was lazy.)

Ouch. I've been developing 'tech stuff' in one form or another since 1980-or-so. I rarely (read: never) have an idea that someone else somewhere hasn't already had. Usually, I use that to my advantage by being able to re
