I love PhantomJS or SlimerJS for scraping. Everything else includes extra hassles for cookie management, JavaScript emulation, faking user agents and whatnot. Best to simply use a headless browser. Selenium seems overly complicated, too.

Not clear whether to include running costs in the rent (heating, garbage disposal...)?

I've heard the theory that establishing these high standards was actually in the best interest of the pharmacy industry. A great way to keep competition at bay, because only huge companies can afford to comply with the regulations.

Why not post a public message that everybody could verify? The discussion about clean notebooks is useless.

To be honest, I don't remember. I know Napster, but not Lars.

I think it should be the other way round: if somebody thinks somebody else is being paid too much, they should have to explain why they think that is possible. That is, there has to be a market failure and they should explain what caused it

"151 million Americans count themselves employed" Whoa - that would be 47% of the population? Or even higher if you only count percentage of population eligible to work (no kids or pensioners)? That number must be wrong?

There is that joke about Cobol - just wondering what could motivate people in the future to actually wake you up. Some skill only you have? Maybe Cobol really isn't such a bad bet.

I didn't say they are still fascists, just pointed out that their culture has also gone wrong at times, too.

Garbagemen are paid from taxer money, bankers aren't. If you don't like bankers, don't give them your money. Problem solved. I get more angry at people with cushy bullshit government jobs than at bankers. The example of the I

Thinking of WWII, Japan's culture was not always on the right track... Coming from Germany, I also wonder how much of the economic success stories of Japan and Germany is really because of cultural aspects, and how much is due to prote

Sounds great, although it seems to me it is not so much curing Diabetes as keeping it in check?

Except that Thrun has a pretty good track record so far.

Paparazzi ambush people going on with their daily lives - they have no choice but to venture outside (into public places) sometime. That's hardly the same as deliberately publishing something on a public network. That said, sure, you c

I remember specifically an issue in Europe a couple of years back where a series of snow avalanches was destroying hotels and killing people (in the alpes, I think - hotels had been built in illegal places). Roads were blocked and the only

I don't see how anybody can complain if public posts are being analyzed.

What about situations like the last plane out of a war zone with a limited number of seats? I think people tend to become less charitable then? Or if scarcity really hits?

Because you can not walk away in the middle of a surgery to pick up your kids from school. Simple as that...

She mentions she hasn't been near her father for years, so presumably the collapse already happened long ago. Still, she is probably not unbiased.

The error here is actually assuming that learning to code is an obvious opportunity. Many people, especially women, consider other things more worthwhile in life, and they have other options. And we only tend to notice the success stories,

I think the hardest part might be getting lots of context information. Google has a huge database, you probably don't. And Google has access to your calendar, your contacts, your search requests, your location history - and the same fo

You still didn't say what you consider useful about the article. The article also doesn't explain why imbalance in film representations is bad, it just assumes it. But because it has some numbers and charts, you seem to believe it

I've been thinking the same about my new phone. The latest screens are very crisp, and age turning is much faster.

by facepalm 11y ago
Just had a thought: couldn't you copy the encrypted phone, run it in 10000 emulators and try a different PIN in every emulator? If the problem really is just a 4 digit PIN, that should work? Or is the flash memory and the flash memory

It's pure logic: if people have enough films to watch, how would it hurt them if there exist other movies they don't watch? What kind of data would you like to see to quantify that? Let's take data from the article. Does it h

Huh, you blame me for not providing data, but you don't want to provide data yourself? I don't understand your comment on my quotes of the article. They clearly set out to show in what ways white men dominate movie roles. My quote

"They don't write this in the article so why do you say this?" They write it literally in the first paragraph: "white men dominate movie roles... But it’s all rhetoric and no data...To begin answering these questions&quo

Any data to support the "saying"?

by facepalm 11y ago
Already the first paragraph annoys me to no end because it claims "What if the problem isn’t that poor people have bad morals – that they’re lazy and impulsive and irresponsible and have no family values – or that they lack the skills

How do scripts end up on such script websites? Is it a fair assumption that it is random if a movie's script is online or not? If you go by box office success it seems to me you already introduce the bias of consumer preferences, not c
