How many organs can you do this for? Heart, lungs, kidneys at least. 'Brain-in-a-jar' seems like the most achievable form of immortality at the moment.

No, you don't have a right to free speech on Facebook. No, the government can't ban bookshops from selling books about $Topic. One of these would be the government suppressing free speech (the bookstore's free speech, not the

Without looking back at the article, I am willing to bet that Josh Bloch did not make that mistake.

They even had the cheek to complain I was using an ad blocker. Which I'm not - I just don't autoplay flash.

Not so long ago, physical phones and software markets were separate. Apple did a fine job muscling in its app store by leveraging the early dominance of its phone hardware.

If a public body were to rule on this volume of cases, I assume it would be overwhelmed and expensive.

This seems like a pretty tenuous 'connection'.

The SEC doesn't mind if you cancel a planned stock sale as an insider - 'no insider trading without a trade'. It's an entirely plausible that there's "no speaking about a gag order without speaking".

But the spanish newspaper hosting the article in the case that lead to this law _is_ under EU regulation, so I think in this case the library is 'all websites hosted in the EU' and google is just the card index.

Terrible, terrible practice. But I think a lot of people got caught out as left pad was usually an indirect dependency, and using npmjs in your build is the quickest way to satisfy your dependency graph.

The SST contract was cancelled in March, and the sign went up in April 1971, the same month that Boeing's workforce reached the nadir of 38,690. The energy crisis didn't really bite until 1973. [0] [0] https://en.wikipe

The 2707 was the reason behind the naming of the Seattle Supersonics, and the cancellation of the project led to Boeing laying off 60000 people, leading to the famous "will the last person leaving Seattle please turn out the light&quot

Also there are probably zero non-toy programs out there that don't have any undefined behavior in them :)

Rowhammer is a great example of something that a perfectly reasonable looking proof would have missed!

Many, but I'm not sure most. However they nearly all involve someone (be it the language designer, compiler writer or application writer) not thinking about all the malicious possibilities of the code in question. Because that's n

It turns out software was only reliable in the dimensions we we carefully looking at. I'm not sure 'proof' would have helped any - we might well have proved that, say, Flash could successfully display any valid animation you

That appears to be the case, but is counter-intuitive enough that it took the air force years to realize it.

But you might naturally assume a strong correlation between the middle range of each dimension - the interesting conclusion is that it's not nearly as strong as our intuition suggests.

The top two lights in this system are 30 and 15 minutes. Still I think you could make it more intuitive still by just breaking up the 30 minute light into two smaller ones for each 15 minute increment. Maybe add another for the 45 and 60 ca

Thanks for the datapoint. I concur with your friends, I wouldn't ask that question. IMHO even if you get a perfect answer, all you can be sure of is that the candidate has a good memory and happened to read the right books last night.

You may well be asked how a distributed sort would work in principle, and be asked to code a small part of it. Any reasonable answer that shows you can think on your feet would be evidence in favor of hiring. It sounds like you didn't
