Maybe because similar things have already happened. Columbia has a small problem with escaped hippos originally brought in by Pablo Escobar. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27905743

I think manufacturers are going in the opposite direction now, though. When I bought my VW they had just recently (within past 2-3 years) changed to a packaged model for options where you had to buy options together, and packages were depen

So by that math, if I try Alcohol twice am I hooked? Or is the relationship logarithmic? I don't think trying heroin is a good idea, but assigning star values like this is not helpful. If anything, it highlights heroin as a goal drug.

Really. I've always assumed it was the norm, at least in the US. But it's just my experience; I'm hardly an 'in demand' kind of candidate, and things are surely different in different markets. In this case, it sound

My recollection is that no company has ever contacted me to tell me they decided not to hire me. Not one time. I've had a similar experience with a company I tried to go back to after leaving a few years prior. I had a couple of interv

Do you have a link for this? Replacing even 500k engines in the US is indeed stupefying.

Any nationalized program would have to be funded, meaning there would be yearly appropriations bills. Maybe I'm just cynical, but I think this could become a circus every year. As for the NASA comparison... I don't really want dru

Do you really want Congress arguing over which drug research to fund?

This whole article reads like a smokescreen for what actually happened. If you look at the video - the Times has it[0], strange they didn't link it from the article - Blake was leaning up against a wall minding his own business, and wa

Don't the emissions systems affect performance? I have a 2012 Golf TDI and really like it, one of the advantages over one of the hybrids is that I get pretty great fuel economy for the kind of driving I do, but it doesn't feel lik

This is pretty optimistic. If I've learned anything over the past 10-15 years it's that there are a lot of stupid people voting against their interests in the US.

In the same way anyone who comes into a situation where they are more competent than the people they replace become a linchpin. If you come in and make a thing a lot better than anyone else in your organization is capable of making it, you

Having worked in a public educational setting before, I would recommend finding out whether you actually have an option to do something yourself before spending a lot of time on it. My experience tells me that the people running the system

Semantic Versioning is not a magical cure-all. It's still up to the author to make the right choice about which number to bump. We have a node/gulp-driven build with, ultimately, about 500 dependencies. We don't store node_mo

The talk about first-class support for packages and dependency comprehension is interesting. At a minimum, having a native NuGet task - or have it be default behavior of the MSBuild task - vs. having to run restore/install via Exec wou

The first statement is false, and the second mischaracterizes what I said. To me at least, clubbing, skinning and leaving a carcass on the ice is worse than clubbing, bleeding and then using all of the carcass; dead is dead. The personal at

This article - at least the last few paragraphs - understates what we're getting out of cows. Yes, the hides are important, but we also eat their flesh and use their bones for stuff. Cows are not typically skinned and then left in the

In your opinion, what is the best way to address the use case of spreading I/O across multiple spindles for non-uptime-related performance reasons?

Nothing, that is also a great name.

I should step back some from it being a bad name... It's actually a great name, it just conflicts with an in-use library that does substantially the same thing for another platform. Is there a convention where the 'node-' pre

A 6 day study on diet in 19 people somehow generating meaningful conclusions about weight loss in general is absurd . It does seem like you could learn something about rates of change - are we speedboats or supertankers - but that's a

This is a strange comment. On the one hand you're chiding the parent for not considering other viewpoints, but on the other you're making assertions about driving dynamics and 'the factors that actually effect [sic] your life

They run the open source technology center ( http://01.org ). Even if their actual goal is exploitation, why would they even blink at 5 figures a year to sponsor this group vs. giving their lawyers something to do and risking expo
