Let me put it this way. Is every one of your former employers entitled to free support because they once paid your salary? No, I did not think so.

That's why you outsource them to the cheapest bidder. You have plausible deniability (I do care about quality, it's just those bad apples that deceived me as much as you), but in truth you were aware from the very beginning that t

What if you build it, commercialize it and maintain it for several years, and then the market shifts and it becomes impossible to keep producing revenue out of it? Does the customer that paid a single fee once have the right to claim a shar

If the goal of QA is not to be a hassle to Development, the easiest and cheapest way is to axe the whole QA department. And maybe outsource the whole operation to a tiny third party that will be never able to manage the workload, for PR rea

Was it really needed to send that email at that time, or it was something that could have been sent first time in the morning?* And, where you already committed to work on something else next morning so the only/most-convenient time sl

It does come out of parents disposable income, eventually. If the government subsidizes it, taxes will go up and disposable income goes down (though part of the cost gets externalized to childless taxpayers). If most employers pays for it,

We are in the mess we are today because everybody think "I don't think it's my job". I have seen programmers much technically stronger and experienced than I am, and more passionate that I am, turning into idiots when ta

I will try to answer from my limited point of view. IMHO, Mexicans simply do not see marijuana users the same way Americans do. For Americans, marijuana seems like a soft drug young people often try and later grow out of it. Sure, there is

I think my comment was extremely fair at the time when I wrote it. I am glad to see that more intelligent debate is going on now, but please go see the nonsense written at the bottom of the page and judge by yourself. I'd rather not po

Ok, let me try to clarify, because lots of nonsense have been spoken here already. Mexico's Supreme Court has no right to say a thing with regards to US law, US policy or US Constitution. The article is talking (very briefly) about Mex

You people do realize that the Mexican Supreme Court does rule about the Mexican Constitution, right?

Basically, those 2 populations exist in different economies, even if they share the same physical space: 1. US tax code makes very expensive to have people in the payroll. This was originally intended to incentivize mechanization and later

You can do something. That something will not change much, and not at all overnight, but to think there is nothing to be done... that's exactly what they want you to think. Look around you, there is always people working against your v

Not human civilizations. 2 billion years is a lot of time... but it might be weak evidence that we are not the first technological species in this planet. If you consider that we are probably not the only intelligent species on the planet j

Agreed, but I'd counter and say that a median virtual course tend to be better than a median physical one. The more advanced the course, the more this tend to be true. Lecturers in a classroom, specially professors who's main goal

Agreed. My personal fabe is: "But the Committee of the Mending Apparatus now came forward, and allayed the panic with well-chosen words. It confessed that the Mending Apparatus was itself in need of repair." If only IVR systems we

In theory, there's no significant differences between theory and practice. In practice, things are never so simple. When you use Big-Oh notation, O(f(n)), you claim that there exist one function F(n) that accurately characterizes the r

You cannot make sense of an emerging phenomenon by looking at century old records of superficially similar phenomena. The 3 year old case sounds like an outlier, regular coyotes getting at an unprotected child. The case of the 19 year old m

Let's assume it is non-zero, but negligible. Would you say that chance has increased, decreased or remained the same over the last 30 years?

I think the GP question is not trivial. The rationale behind SHA-1 being obsolete is that it will be used for password protection. The back end stores Hash(password+salt) and uses it to grant access. Finding any password_prime which cause

Your answer is not very reassuring on the mutation front. Considering that what you said can be translated to "we are curing cancer with an infectious disease that was modified to spread more slowly and kill cancer cells faster than it
