The value system is still very much influenced by Christianity, though.

I expect the messy business of producing babies to be outsourced to the 3rd world more and more often.

Again, survivor bias. I am not saying your proposal isn't a good strategy. There just isn't a guarantee for success. Even your app claim sounds less convincing if you look at the actual average revenue for apps.

There is really a lot of politics in that, not just economics. For example there was a decision to wind down all nuclear power plants, and coal was used for a while to compensate for that. Meanwhile, the parties in power changed and nuclear

Wouldn't that ship be bigger than the resolution of modern satellites photographing earth? So in conclusion, not all parts of the world are being monitored from space, or at least nobody wants to admit to it?

What do you mean? The only thing that matter is what application the users employ. The people who convince the most people to use their protocol/implementation "win" (or they have the strongest fork or whatever). I don't

There are several different implementations of the protocol, nobody controls "THE" codebase.

Virtual Reality environments perhaps? Compare playing Second Life to playing World of Warcraft. Second Life loads all data from the server, WoW has most of the world preinstalled on the client.

What are the running costs - does it have an online component? Or just the fees they have to pay to Steam?

by facepalm 11y ago
I'm confused - how is it failed if they launched it on Steam? Is that just a demo?

Math.random might do quite well?

Few things make me as angry as hearing of people who unfairly talk themselves into a fashion show.

I have already heard two kids claim they can swim, when later it turned out they can only swim with water wings.

If that was the reason, why not just remove exporting of pending contacts?

Makeup is certainly a traditional way to game it - that's essentially the point of makeup. Supposedly in medieval times women even took laudanum to make their pupils wider.

In this video Dan Ariely mentions some interesting research about the effects of beauty: http://bigthink.com/videos/dan-ariely-on-advantages-of-physi... Apparently research has shown that while taller people tend to ea

It's possible that your courses are boring. After a while at university I was craving for measuring myself against the real world, not just against artificial problems set by the teachers. Perhaps you could try doing something entirely

Not necessarily. As a lighter example, would it be beneficial to give a mass murderer in jail a communication channel to the outside world? What if he used it to publish the message "I'll give 10 Million Dollars to anybody who bre

Are they saying that without the Euro, Nokia would have beat Apple? While criticism of the Euro is not new and may be warranted, the recent times also give me the impression that there is simply way too much room for interpretation in Macro

It's not about the tweets, it's about publishing the Excel sheet of salaries. That's bound to piss off her employer, so why should they give her a bonus?
656.
by facepalm 11y ago
Huh, she published an excel sheet of salaries, claiming to expose injustice. That's saying "fuck you" to her managers, and to Google.
657.
by facepalm 11y ago
Well by exposing your manager you are essentially calling her an asshole (lets assume the manager is female, why not).

"Fuck you! Now give me my bonus". Why should somebody who you call an asshole in public be obliged to give you a goodwill bonus?

Real trolls exist, but other than that, I must admit I was also thinking that a rallying cry against trolling is usually just a cry to shut down people somebody disagrees with. Actual trolling without content is usually well covered by user
