Hearing from friends that work there, the RTT for the underlying filesystem adds quite a lot of time for daily operations, especially if they are not working on the west coast of the USA. It was said a pull takes 45 minutes. This leads me t

Actually the harder thing is building your own data/content build system, where not only the assets change, so does the compiler and tool chain used to build them.

Edit #2: There's actually a third option. If you really believe that the price will go up in the future and you're not in the need of the money for that time, buy more.

Same thing applies to the stock market. You have 2 options: Sell now and accept the loss and move on. This will be a hard thing to accept but you will not have lost everything. Suck it up and wait for it to appreciate further. This may take

A friend of mine actually build a PowerBuilder decompiler and custom debugger, partly because he's smart, and partly because he was bored and had to maintain PowerBuilder projects. I think he said at one time the developers contacted h

So realistically you could just throw these seeds from the air using a plane and it would be even more efficient? Modify some sort of sprayer to spray seeds over a large enough area. With enough seeds there should be sufficient trees to sur

If cost and fuel are major concerns then sending a person is by far the cheapest option. Not the most productive but in the areas that need reforestation (i.e. where they burn or clear cut, Asia / Amazon) the labour is not that expensi

That could be deemed to be suspicious by itself and actually get you searched more thoroughly.

Yeah, that's the reasoning someone needs to use as to why something like this exists. It only works at all if you everything exactly correct.

I would hope that the cycle of crunch -> ship -> layoffs is in the past now. From memory it used to be that way because the studio needed to crunch to get the product out the door to sell. Then once that happened they had no need for

Pretty much built for someone that knows exactly what they are doing. Like they've read the manuals cover-to-cover and taken an exam.

The only plausible explanation for this is if they store the names in order like: <Last Name> <First Initial> and somehow just assume the first Smith J is correct.

I guess there have not been any large scale or very public attacks against these computers because the people that would do this would be an enemy of every state that has manufacturing. The disruption may be temporary as things would recove

Which means there is more demand for upper educated men since they are in demand by both educated and uneducated women. As another commented has suggested this might not be an issue when gender roles get removed, but I have a sneaking suspi

There was also the trend of "herbivore men" in Japan where they didn't want to actively pursue women, and instead were just interested in being friends with them (in the purely platonic sense). This actually drove women mad b

If Facebook and Google were to be public utilities then that would be a scary proposition. It would be some black mirror and sesame credit cross over. The social data mined from what you do would determine how good/obedient of a citize

Exactly, you end up paying a premium for the option of having the car available at any time you want, also without filling out rental paperwork. Though for that you have to pay for regular maintenance, registration, licensing, insurance, pa

When I lived in Sydney I found that my car was sitting idle for the majority of the time. I did the sums and even with free parking at my apartment, it would have been cheaper for me to just rent a car for the days that I needed it (like a

I got told this from a friend that studied law (but is not a lawyer). That to put a disclaimer of "I am not a lawyer" when giving opinion about legal matters is so that they will not be prohibited from practising law in the future

I assume that the people at those laundry services would be so practised at folding clothes that it would take longer for them to feed it into the machine then to just fold the clothes themselves.

Except that unlike a car, a house can be rented more easily and income gathered rather than sitting empty. To rent out your Ferrari you'd have to run an agency and couldn't use it as you wanted to. Which kind of defeats the purpos

So as before you would say 'dumb' things to your inner social circle of friends, with an occasional stranger overhearing. Today you can say those same things online, but instead of it just being your friends it's effectively

This seems a very extroverted policy since extroverts naturally tend to have a large pool of people they are friends with. Introverts tend to have a few people that they know really well.

Yep, part of the quality standard for medical devices is to have processes, and also processes to improve and change the processes. So theoretically there shouldn't be any doubt as what to do in a given circumstance when something fail

> Advocating murder of group X -> ban (even if you're quoting a religious text). I would say that this should not be banned. Let all who profess these beliefs be out there in the open so that they are easier to find.

It's not just selling your bitcoins on an exchange, it's actually getting the cash out of the exchange and into your bank account. A large volume on an exchange means there's plenty of people trading, but it doesn't mean

The question is, can you actually cash out thousands of bitcoins these days? Would any exchange support that and then would you be able to get your money into your actual bank account. Then comes tax.
