I'm not sure I agree with the previous poster about phones, but I never signed a 50 page lease agreement. Typically they have been about three pages. Buying a house requires a bit more and a home loan requires a lot more, but it's

As a trained theoretical physicist, I am entirely unaware of the distinction you are trying to draw here.

There are certainly propaganda machines on American TV, but mostly its just niche programming and reality tv. I think its more fair to see American TV as a waste of time.

A couple people have already hinted at it but self-regulating body temperature is a big benefit for crossing into non-native environments.

As much as I don't like this, a lot of people don't know how to acquire information online outside of google and Facebook.

The point is that you don't hand out the license trivially. Yes, spacex is just discussing this in the context of a glorified webcam, but webcasts aren't their only business. Such a license needs to consider the whole business. No

Whatever it "seems" like to you, it is a law passed by congress and signed by the president.

So one should be careful in interpreting the term animal rights. In the past, animal rights activists have burned down houses of medical researchers.

That's not what advertisers are willing to pay more for.

If someone opts out of data mining, there is nothing to target with.

Targeted ads make a lot more than untargetted ads.

The opt out page simply won't show in non gdpr jurisdictions.

It's not hard to maintain separate sets of rules and companies already do so. Try taking a look at Maine's laws on data with regards to minors.

Yeah, I never feel lonely now. I remember feeling lonely all time before my daughter.

So before I was a father, I incorrectly thought I was quite busy. Mostly though, I would hang out with friends, travel, go see movies, etc.

I think suggesting today's outcome in Venezuela as the result of intention to have imports rather than the obviously bad result of land redistribution is disingenuous. Chavez took land from farmers and gave it to people who had never f

The title of this article matches the tone, but doesn't really match the content. The author makes several good points that would be better characterized as, "given that technical debt is inevitable, try to make simple, easy to ma

I work at a BigCorp and we are taking this very seriously, adding processes and new retention policies to all internal datasets, and reconsidering our interactions with partners.

There is a lot that is factually wrong with this article. Python is not easier because it is an interpreted language. C++ is interpreted too. In fact, python does compile, hence the pyc files. I could go on like this for a while but the poi

Having been in both, the conditions of academic jobs are so different than private sector that you really should consider it a different employment pool. "Workforce" is probably the wrong word. I generally break things down into p

I've worked at different companies that just culturally have very different approaches. Where I am now, I will basically corner people until they help me or provide a better option on where to seek the help I need. At my previous emplo

The difference is that data storage is Dropbox's business, while Apple's business is selling devices. Yes, they do have a variety of income sources, but they are all built around and integrated into selling iThings and MacThings.

So I got Sony super-duper 4k HDR with some chip that makes the colors better. I hook up my Sony ps4 to it. Every time a game launches, the tv fully shuts off. Not standby mode, fully shuts off, requiring a reboot through that stupid android

What agenda is it you see in this? I mean, the author seems to believe that higher education is a net good thing, which you can disagree with if you like. A lot of people seem to disagree though evidenced by gifts made to universities, the

I really didn't get the impression the author was viewing those without a college degree as inferior. I got the impression the author was noting the relative underrepresentation of rural students in college and examining causes.

Amazing what a few decades of development by talented and determined people can accomplish. Point is, my custom container that I wrote in an hour or so probably won't be as good.

by grigjd3 9y ago
Not building custom containers is generally good advice. The chance you build something that underperforms is noticeable. Other coders won't know what you've made. There is a fair chance that std has what you need if you're e

I think you are overestimating their importance. The credit agencies have already pretty much proven to us that they can't accurately rate risk when their fees are on the line.
