Math is the purest form of art humans can produce.I'd say one can learn a fair bit of it on his own and be relatively knowledgeable,but..There are many many things in math that are not just mind boggling,but also so difficult that unle

In the country where I come from,we've got a very popular online news website. comments are are split into two categories: registered (facebook,google+) and anonymous. Users also have an ability to upvote/downvote or flag comments

A lot of people don't get this. When I tell I like companies, everyone's fine.When I say I equally like being on my own, a lot of people get funny about it. I could sit in a room just with myself for weeks and I'd be fine and

While obviously it is much better than the likes of Daily Mail,it is still far far from being really good. A lot of articles are often opinionated and present journalist's opinion in a much stronger way than the facts themselves. Also,

I do read it quite often, however I would never ever pay a penny for it until it opens up comments under all the articles and not just some vanilla news,where you can be pretty sure there won't be much of a debate. There many ways to

100% agree. Linux is great for developers or server admins but when it comes to an average Joe from the office,it is 20 years behind windows. It may look similar,it may feel a little similar but it is not.Most of the apps are complete shit,

Publicly available pricing won't solve it all,as it can't be always easy to define how much a treatment would cost without actually doing it,however it would benefit a lot to ensure better prices.There must be a very strong lobbyi

Not suprised.We used to have customer purchasing our services on a credit provided by a finance company,then cancelling and demanding full amount to be translated to their bank accounts... It usually take a bit of time for people to get it.

As someone who lived only countries with free public health service,these numbers are appalling.Not the numbers per se but rather lack of competition between healthcare providers.

I work with Salesforce and here's the reality: they are as closed source as possible. 'No software' logo and marketing campaign was targeting sales and marketing people with an appealing idea that they no longer need to rely

Get an average person into a room, interrogate for hour or days,if necessary, and ultimately, the vast majority would confess to anything just for the sake of ending it. There are many tricks in a hat to do so+ decades of experience within

Vendor lock-in isn't something anyone, especially at C-level should be ignoring. Yes, there are things to be gained and money to be made,but one should always have some sort of alternative,just in case. I happen to be in a business,whi

What I find fascinating is that a good number of people discussing this could probably have equally interesting discussions on Java or algorithms,which won't be same on your average history forum...

Also, don't forget that development is pretty difficult job on its own,so as soon as it becomes a commodity,people will stop training and applying for these jobs,as there are plenty other jobs that are easier to do and pay the same.

However,the reality is that most people simply can't do it. Take an average office and try to teach everyone how to code. after a month, 99% will know how to output text to console, 10% would probably be able to write a loop or two and

There's a lot of them out there.. However, if a company wants something more sophisticated,like process automation, integrations and similar bells and whistles, it will end up being either Salesforce or MS Dynamics.Most other CRMs are

While the numbers are impressive,this kind of stuff can be easily done to a lot of companies. If a company lacks proper PO system or things often get done in excel instead of CRM/ERP or similar software, it's pretty tricky to chas
