> What do the monks gain by falsifying those records? Depends on their motives. Depicting the world as chaotic or orderly can allow you to manipulate people's fears and hopes.

I fear that he will waste his money e.g. providing facebook to the world out of "charity". Gee thanks!

I mean, so did Ghengis. He didn't call his rape + pillage a charity, though. It just so happens Mark is conquering by forcing the world to depend on him by rewriting "the internet" to mean "facebook".

What is the OP suggesting instead?

...for all definitions of animals that don't exclude humans, yes. Humans have unique characteristics that are central here, like effective use of abstract language, social stratification, and socially managed resources.

Your degree in anthropology blesses us all with your judgment—here I was thinking I might not understand the underlying research correctly. This community is the best!

This just implies the first known appearance (archaeologically), not necessarily a, erm, common root.

NASA basically uses the approach you patronize so easily. And while I'm not arguing that it's practical to take this approach, defensive coding techniques allow reliable code to be written in environments that wouldn't be con

Sure. None of this is news to anyone. Why not discuss why C++ was chosen in the first place?
970.
by duaneb 11y ago
I would probably use Ada as well. However, calling out C++ is like blaming the gun for an accidental suicide. Yea, the gun may have been faulty, but why was it in that position in the first place? Terrible management with way too much fundi

You can write safe C++ (although it's hard). You can write extremely buggy haskell or ada. Are you really that much of a language bigot you can't see past the damn language to provide any interesting conversation?

Dunno why you're being downvoted, that's exactly the type of frustrating experience that exemplifies HDCP.

Do these colleges not offer labs? For shame. What are people even paying them for?

The power to redact underlined in the article is not available to police.

by duaneb 11y ago
Intelligence state would be a much better term. The police have their own issues, but they are very much in the public eye.

Sure, lots of skills are good to have. Not at hundreds of dollars a class, though, and certainly not worth associating with a bachelor's degree. Otherwise my peers would all have degrees in Eclipse and be unemployed right now.

No, not in the least. People know Uber is an evil company and don't care.

If students leave college without learning any apps, I almost consider that a Good Thing. These are means, not ends.

Yea, that makes this approach useless.

Not all companies look for short term profits over long term viability. Why exit at all?

Also, they would be liable for the employee's behavior. Which is terrible, economically.

Groupthink is a problem per-subreddit. Don't like it? Invest some time in finding better subreddits.

Retirement is unnatural.

I disagree. I think happiness mosty derives from companionship, eating well, and being in the sun. It is capitalism that drives the need for achievement without reason.

Six hours feels like you can function, until you can't. I think i remember seeing that people who could reliably function with just six hours exist but are vanishingly rare. Juat be honest with yourself.

Not to mention existentialist philosophy, which again can be theist (kierkegaard) or not (too many to count).

This really only makes sense for service-oriented software. Not all uses of clojure attempt to saturate use of available resources, and here STM is a win. But the OP implicitly assumed everyone was writing "production" software, a

He does have a point. The EULA is inherently user unfriendly and they gain nothing by providing a shorter, possibly contradictory version.
