I had a first hand experience flying out of Israel with the questioning side. For various accidental and benign reasons I got a little extra questioning, which was on the topics of: do I speak Hebrew?, what synagogue do I go to in the US?,

In a way its a good thing. Everyone thinks Yahoo! has a lot of potential, it is just that they aren't living up to it. Better to be on that side than not having any potential to live up to.

This keeps happening ... make sure to backup, and then test your backup. An easy way to do this is to run your dev environment on a backup snapshot.

In your opinion, is there anything a company can do to keep or improve the average level of employees as the company grows, or is it just inevitable?

Thanks, that makes sense. In fairness pg could also paste it into the server invocation too though.

Your answer makes no sense and isn't responsive at all to the issue. We are talking about the need for confidence in banks and the banking system. This isn't something new, all banks face this issue. Addressing your irrelevant tangents: - e

It's not a con game, it is just a weakness of the fractional reserve banking system.

There's only 30 slots on the front page at any given time, so something has to give. I'd rather miss good stories than have a part of the front page which is consistently junk. For what it's worth reddit tried the same strategy but they dep

We only want "accountability" because they can't be trusted to do the right thing otherwise.

The standard advice is to make a landing page with your idea on it. Then find ways for people to get to that page - advertising or social media. Then you can make a more fact-based decision.

Happy joker user here as well. Don't have anything bad to say about them, except that their UI could use a little work.

San Andreas Lake came first, and then the fault was discovered and named after the lake. (talking about the 280 section of the essay)

Agreed - that's the next logical step if needed. Maybe some heuristic to combine simple words at first, like "andblue" instead of "octobervaporized".

More than enough as long as this doesn't get insanely popular, because the words expire after 5 minutes.

It depends on how you define science. Personally I define science as a process, whereby one has theories and then tries to systematically falsify them. By this measure CS isn't really much of a science, it is more like Math or Engineering.

Well, I feel like I am a backlash of one person. Twitter's selling points used to be simplicity and encouraging developers / encouraging a platform. With the change they are moving away from that simplicity and also taking something away fr

I think it would be hard to be a competent lawyer without going to law school. Good law schools change the way you think, and that's not something that you can get self studying. It is true that you can pass the bar without going to school.

His style tends to be hyperbolic but he does have interesting things to say. For example how he can't predict the (financial) future with respect to what will happen or when, but he can predict to whom it will happen to. He makes some reaso

You can't really compare the two. RockYou doesn't really focus on the widgets as much as games / ad network these days (although truth be told you can't really see it if you swing by rockyou.com or visit the crunchbase profile, which is rea

Good stuff. My only comment is to make a macro like defmemo. That way instead of writing something like: (def set-m (memoize set)) you could write (defmemo set-m set).

I agree that unions can be blamed for a lot of the issues. I'd add that a lot of the issues are caused by conflicts between the administration and the teachers. If you remove the unions then you'd have to reform the administration as well.

I think tech in the classroom is highly overrated, in that the funding in schools is so short that even basic things are lacking. Let's start with paper in classroom for tests and water & coffee in the breakroom.

I'm not a teacher, but my wife is and I've been able to see how dysfunctional the school district is. - teachers across subjects get paid at the same rate table. Math & Science teachers have a higher opportunity cost but they get the sa
