I'm having a real time Baader-Meinhof phenomenon here... Had never heard about it before late last week when reading https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-satya-nadella-nonv... .

I'm not in the U.S. so didn't realised this, but my point was that I'm afraid that most people will want to allocate tax to their pet issue without considering the greater good. In my mind part of the job of elected politicia

There's an equivalent issue with city with large suburbs: companies in the city core pay a lot of local taxes that stays within the city, but living in the city is too expensive for 80% of the employees who live in the suburbs, which c

So people educated with public funds but without kids will allocate 0$ to education, then complain that youths these days just hang in the street doing no good, and allocate more of their tax towards policing?

Even if they don't block, if you run an email server on an ISP ip block, a lot of other mail servers will refuse you connections. If you're going to tin your own mail server, it's paying for a good VPS. Beside the guarantee

In Canada. 100 CAD/month. 150 both up and down. If you are in a major city, it might be time to check the other ISP in town. I'm glad I did.

I had never thought of income on capital vs income before Piketty made it the center of his theories, but since then realised that it is exactly what property tax is, which is weird that it is only in one type of capital.

You call BS on OP or the interviewer? Have you interviewed for a "unicorn" and other "cool" companies? Sadly, looking for excuses to rationalised that the interviewer doesn't like you is still a thing.

Totally agree. In fact since a lot of people prefer overhead vs checked, overhead should be more expensive. At the very least, I should be guaranteed to have some overhead space without having to fight to get on the plane as early as possib

Too low a thrust? I thought that on airliners pilots input runway length, altitude and wind strength and direction, and the computer optimized the thrust accordingly?

It used to be for performance reasons, the way python runs comprehension is faster than plain loops, so the more you could cram in a single comprehension, the faster it ran. These days though, you can split it in generator expressions and m

"is just gross" sounds like a statement. "I really don't like" "I cannot drink", " it makes me gag" sounds like an opinion or preference.

Can it run on a cluster? Or single server only? Can you update specific rows? How fast are updates? How does it compare to monetDB.

The article is interesting, but not a new problem. Any technology can be used for good or bad (within a given morale framework). Yes, we should all keep it in mind, and ensure governments representing us regulate technologies, or do not use

There are indeed huge individual differences, I don't drink a lot, if I force myself to drink more I ended up spending a lot of time eliminating. Also note that your diet makes a huge difference, the veggies and fruits you eat, the mor

So what's the point of using ddg instead of google if you do this?

It's a win, but not a wash, because they cannot serve highly targeted ads, which means they probably can't charge as much and people are less likely to click on. Try to create a separate google account, use browser profiles, and t

You do not want to pay? For TV, I'm happy to pay for renting from google or a monthly fee to Netflix. In return I never need to go to the cinema, I watch films at the time that works for me, and no ads! Yeah, I'd be happy to pay

From reading the article, they do not fix the numbers of cars, so it is likely that the number of cars has a greater effect on flow. Improvement in roads always lead to more cars, beyond what was expected. Entire suburbs get created when ro

Why do they use cremated bodies? Doesn't cremating have an impact on the environment? And doesn't it destroy a lot of the nutrient from the body? Been looking for something similar, but where they just use the body as is.

A lot of people, myself included, won't install an apps unless it brings value over the website. When you look at it that way, very few apps make sense for the user, most of them are built to capture information about you.

I'd add, beside obvious docstrings, comment to explain why the code does something when it's not obvious (say a corner case).

No surprise. If somebody is surprised when you fire them, you failed. You should have brought the issues up and explain what the paths to fix the are, the timeline, and consequences.
