No. Fund shareholders do not get a proxy vote in the underlying stocks. Not with Vanguard or most large funds anyway. The fund votes. And the fund managers and analysts will have a lot more resources and information on their holdings than f

Oh come on. This is partisan hackery. This "theatre" did in fact cause vital government functions to shut down. I was personally on a project where I had to stop work because our checks were sitting on a table in Washington and a

Agreed; I've futilely tried to mentor a recent grad who is applying to jobs he has no qualification for and then sitting around waiting for them to follow up.

Yup. Not to mention, Couchsurfing, an actual home sharing site, predates Airbnb by five years.

In my language, finger wagging is scolding someone, for what they've done (or failed to do). It's not telling them what to do. You were certainly wagging your finger at a fingerwagger.

"Bluffing." It takes zero effort to distribute a a few hundred gigabytes of encrypted random data, relative to the amount of investigation and speculation as to what if anything is in those files. They are called "insurance.&

He had me until PEP8. That was a fair characterization of the Devuan crowd. Edit: Fair characterization of their level of systemd hate; not any correlation to US politics or Wikileaks.

You are wagging fingers also, and therefore boring. Honestly, I've been finger-wagged out of an opinion or two, so "never" is too strong. Frankly, I challenge you to name any form of "political discourse" that regul

The fingerprint is not communicative. That's the crux of the matter. The state of law, currently, is that if the police have you, and they have your phone, and they have probable cause that your phone contains evidence of a crime, they

Non-existent manual pages? You forget the GNU convention; have a stub manual page that tells you to run "info" instead, so you can use the text browser to navigate 90 separate pages of two sentences each at your leisure.

What do you mean by "full documentation" and "NDA"? Go to NXP.com, sign up for an online account, and you can download full reference manuals for most of their products. They may hold errata and more low-level/non-u

No. It would be more accurate to say that is is a lot more work to reimplement a hard realtime embedded RTOS from scratch, when you have a nontrivial application that needs features like tasking, synchronization, IPC, memory virtualization

What's "interesting" about this? The entire website is massive copyright infringement. It's extremely useful for researchers, but if you're going to the trouble of filtering and blocking content on a corporate netwo

Pig guts is actually the only porcine viscera I've eaten before. It's not bad at all. The prep does sound rather unpleasant and smelly, but it can't be worse than the butchering you've already done. I believe the colon i

Where on earth did you get the idea that the viscera must be disposed or cannot be safely eaten? Pig intestines, heart, lungs are all part of traditional cuisine. Even the kidneys and liver are "viscera," and those are completely

There's Taiwanese-style pig blood cake (made with rice and fried); or Cantonese-style pig blood curd, which is nothing more than solidified pig's blood.

This is laughably wrong. Aristophanes wrote an entire comedy on the subject, "The Clouds", in the 5th century B.C.E. STREPSIADES: But by the Earth! is our father, Zeus, the Olympian, not a god? SOCRATES: Zeus! what Zeus! Are you m
