I would not characterize many CEOs as being "a decorative role, who can be replaced in an instant". Leading may not be hands-on engineering and design (at least, you hope!), but it's certainly FAR from decorative.

There are many axes on which you can be liberal or conservative. He is President, not a judge, and his job is to lead the country. There's not much point in acknowledging Obama's security policies without mentioning his social, fi

This isn't even the most absurd part about citizen/cop cash transactions: under civil forfeiture, they can take up to (iirc) $10,000 of your cash no justification or remediation path. Really, all they need is a traffic stop or a (

On the contrary, I wouldn't say robots use anything because that implies a conscious actor.

For some reasons to use DNS (e.g. service discovery) the latency associated with a blockchain would be prohibitive. Generally, I think it's an excellent application.

Can you think of a core class that would include Aristotle and Freud? It'd be a shitty survey class where people came out half-educated, using phrases like "begs the question" instead of "raises the question", which

IIRC just this week the US Census released a median household income of $56,000k. Even traditionally poor-performing demographics are well above $40,000/year at median .

Non-salaried jobs are not stable, it's not about "good"ness. If you want to provide, find a salaried job. If you want to weather recessions, find a salaried job. If you want to have a career as opposed to a job, start with a

I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Are you agreeing with me, or are you arguing that protecting the legal ownership and rights to data is a primary selling point of the product? I just don't see it.

Because a rational person will assume a TOS attempts to acquire as many rights as possible. I certainly don't read them because IANAL. This is just a round about way of saying "I sure am surprised people think they 'own'

I'm not sure how you're meaning "ideal". The point of my post was to illustrate that while some may prefer the "spatial" finder, others (such as my self) view that as the absolute worst behavior of the finder.

I interpret it differently: the ordering is a side effect, and the positive aspect is that it's easier to debug conveniently, not a feature you should rely on version to version.

Sure, but on the pragmatic hand, "regular" isn't super useful unless you're designing a language yourself. If you're parsing something, not understanding "regular" is going to hurt a lot less than attempti

Even when the cards themselves were popular it was as a collectible supporting the video game and TV show, not as a primary interest. That their popularity derives entirely from recent innovations implies their conservatism is not what make
