I'm not an advocate of either style, but I can say that it is pretty hard to change your mechanical habits. Very frequently when people stop and focus on how they stand, sit, or move (via martial arts, tai chi, qigong, whatever) they notice

Yes...certainly the commoditization of IT equipment and its use in nearly every job function will lead to decreased dependance on IT departments (?). I've been more or less involved in medium-sized IT shops my whole carrer, and while it's t

As an outsider, I would certainly agree with your comment. Caste quotas seem like they would only strengthen the system... Still, how synonymous is caste with economic status? I would guess "very" but your post makes it seem like there ar

But you still can't do what he wants to do, which is pretty straightforward: 1. Photos he takes are added to a library automatically (for internet connected devices). 2. That library exists in the cloud. 3. He can access that library from a

It has regenerative breaking, which is effectively 'engine breaking'. Engine breaking on an electric car puts electricity back into the batteries. The brakes you see in the photos are for breaking, hard (full stop, quick stop, racing).

Structural comparison: In the Netherlands, employees are hired for specific terms. Usually this results in employment contracts for 6-12 months, followed by yearly renewals. This is a bit one-sided: The employer can only sever the contra

I think the repetition and the talking heads don't have to be a bad thing, it's just that the news outlets mix their presentation styles. Business/Sports have already been broken out into their own channels by most outlets, due to differe

For comparison: I'm from California, and was studying abroad in Holland. I had travel insurance, and went to the general doctor for a similar situation (lung infection). How it's supposed to work is that I pay in full and get reimbursed fr

You're misunderstanding "in it's accounts". Cyprus banks have debts to account holders of €68 billion (people have deposited €68 billion into bank accounts in Cyprus). They didn't do that because they felt their money would be happier on t

I know your joking, but the premise of your original comment was that morality is black and white. If this is true for you, then yes, you'd have to voluntarily stop eating. :) Personally, I take the position that everything I do probably h

Yes? Instead of defending our current habits with theoreticals, shouldn't we determine our actions based on the information we have available to us, with respect to the alternatives?

This is different than a security check. TSA is looking for dangerous, or banned items - "is this safe to fly?". If they happen to find signs of criminal activity, they will turn you over to the police. TSA can examine your laptop, but th

When I moved to NL I was really amazed by this system (no more writing checks!). Since the bank itself is in charge of the payment form, the incentives to fix security are in the right place. Of course, this is easy to do in a small countr

Slightly OT: Why would you ever put a QR code on a web page instead of a link? If I'm on my computer, I'm not going to pull out my phone to scan it. If I'm on my phone, how would I even scan it?

The online courses I took at Jr. college were mostly horrible, which is why I took as many of them as I could. A class with "discussion credit", multiple choice quizzes, and one-size-fits all writing assignments, is pretty much junk. At my

Maybe I'm old school, but shouldn't this be done in an dev or acceptance environment? I hack on the "live" DB every day, and by live I mean i sync this DB to another environment, try it out, run it on prod.

"Doing business" is also complicated. We're a Dutch not-for-profit, running under a US .org domain name, with some servers hosted in Germany, and our visitors come from everywhere. Right now the decision is only to annoy Dutch visitors (bas

One thing that is still unclear to me about the Dutch law: Is the Dutch law only for .nl domains? Domains hosted in NL? Sites owned by Dutch companies?

I've enjoyed working in an open-plan office until recently, mostly because of our growth. As I write this the person next to me is on the phone having a distracting conversation (about one of our projects), someone is engaged in a dramatic

My bank issues a PIN which is not of my choosing, and since it's a smart card to change it means actually going down to the bank to select a new PIN. I think the majority of people never do this, so it seems like a great way to counter peo

The history is complicated, but it has a lot to do with the housing shortage in Amsterdam (and other places in NL) and the concept of a right-to-live. If many buildings in an area are sitting unoccupied, unused, and potentially falling apar

Yes, exactly this. TPB's IP addresses are blocked at ISP level, and the response has been to set up many reflector sites (e.g. malaysiabay.org), and mirrors. A complicated interactive site is of course much harder to mirror than a bunch of
