Where do you live? I bought a car that was <2 years old with <30k miles for just under 8 grand. You can easily find good cars for less than $15k. In fact, 15k is nearly enough for a brand new nissan sentra. And with a median home pri

I mean this is basically done now, but with standardized testing as a proxy for what a "genetic IQ" would measure better. That said, I don't think it will ever catch on because the associations with eugenics and the like is t

I take your point, but there is a big difference between being homeless and being without income. Retirees are the most obvious example, but there are plenty of 'normal' people who don't have an income that basically get to s

I think it really comes down to what you mean by 'internet outage'. Maybe if you're in a smaller town, the one ISP can have a service outage. Or a large hosting service like aws could have an outage. But those are always goin

They directly address that library in the paper.

This is exactly the approach of newer application formats in the Linux world such as flatpak and snaps. The problem, though, is that all the libraries are duplicated on disk. Flatpak and snaps get around this by recognizing when there is a

But nobody is forcing manufacturers to bundle in Google Play. Nothing at all is stopping manufacturers from shipping "pure" android. They freely choose to enter into these agreements because being able to bundle Google Play makes

But they don't need Google Play Services either. They choose to bundle it in because it makes their phones better.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The first one about detecting if x is odd or even is usually what the compiler will optimize the more common (x%2) == 0 to. Other than that, these are things that you have to do yourself. You can

Would you create a wrapper class and member function to make addition less likely to mistype? num = num.plus(x); might be less likely to mistype than num = num + x; but nobody would ever do that. Once you've done bitwise operators a fe

Isn't this solved by the organization structure of large companies? In a company of hundreds or thousands, nobody needs to know everyone else. You really only need to / should know your team of 5-20 and a small handfull of managem
