Definitively being a lawyer. Last week ago I hired a lawyer to look for some documentation for a house I was planning to buy, and about its owner. He showed me I think more than 20 prints of web apps that he had visited, and on each one he

64 bit integers should be enough for anybody :) I don't know, why people keep asking for more resources? Maybe he wants to store every pixel, its lightning and physics from a 32 multiplayer game to offer time-machine features (like the Time

Just to let you know I think we're in a point where the medium doesn't help either one of us to convince the other of anything, so I really would have some additional stuff to say (I do have the modern judicial system on my side, after all

You know that blame means punishment right? I just drew Mohammed on a napkin. Do you think I should pay a fine, go to jail, something?... If you think "of course not, don't be silly", then tell me how can I know, prior to expressing my thou

What will happen is that in some time there will nothing left to be said. Mind you, I'm drawing a line between incitement (flat out saying "go and do something wrong") and saying something knowing others, in reaction, will do something wron

Oooh more than 3 months ago. Wish I could have played it, people on the thread had fun. Anyway, congratulations on the execution. Now this submission which we're having this conversation makes more sense :)

You're asking if we like him or hate him :) Because a friend would say he's humble and funny, and an enemy would say he's deceptive and ignorant. Then again, I don't personally know him...

Shut up. You're making noise and you're talking like a kid. Just stop trying. You're not funny. It's not about being "touchy" is about being tired of EPIC FAIL MAGICAL REVOLUTION and how fucking tired we're from this language. Also, I'm onl

They have several. To answer your question, if I was to pick up only one, the first that came to my mind was "pageviews". So, everything that increases pageviews is good. Well, not quite, because so is CTR, and in fact doubling CTR allows y

Depends on how you've defined "electronic storage" and its relation to email. Like Bill Clinton whom never had sex with Lewinsky, because sex means two reproductive organs touching and not the mouth. PS: I didn't read the definition, just e

You know the answer to that, but wish you did not. I wonder who'll be the first to ask Apple to remove a competitor app because of 3.3.1.

Yes, and the reason none will fault you is because the perception I spoke of, which is molded by marketing campaigns like we're seeing here. So I was talking about the reasoning of _why_ being perceived as the leader, or as the best tech su

It's a good strategy when you're doing small, quick, low impact releases. When you have to coordinate with other areas of the company about when, and what to release, or when the software becomes so large that there's a new bug every day, t

Never heard that no manager has ever been fired for hiring IBM? When you go with the market leader, or a big player, the perception is that there's a smaller chance of things going wrong, and when they do, they have more resources than the

Yes, but not encouraged. The literature, or most common applications of A/B testing, is about little improvements. Phrases being changed, picture alignment, that kinda of thing. Of course, in theory, A/B as the name implies is about testing

Yes, there _are_ reasons, just because you think those companies could have worked around them doesn't mean they were not valid reasons. More than half of the companies on that list is either gone or is irrelevant nowadays, which shows the

There are good excuses, like browser capabilities, broadband, % of users online, ad serving platforms, ad agencies, mobile usage, knowledgable people/employees. Heck, I could go on and on and on. There was absolute no way for Google Maps to

Because everything done by a government should be for the public interest, even if one person or a small group is directly benefited. I'm not a US Constitution specialist, heck, I am from Brazil. But that's usually how things are: You don't

So... having private info stolen == bad company, releasing private info == good company.

You think the amount of effort by Netflix to protect the identities of its costumers was enough. It was not. They intentionally released an amount of information, thinking none of its costumers could be traced, but guess what? They were. Ye

Car manufacturers have to make sure the brakes and air-bags work. Elevators makers have to make sure they won't fall. Parachutes can't have holes. Lots of examples. Heck, imagine if companies could do things wrong and get away with: "Hey at

Why? If you have to buy the console and the games, and they're priced similary to other offers, the monthly $15 would buy you, I guess, the same as Xbox Live, the online experience/friends/matches (which people do pay, afterall). Now if the

In other words, what orangecat meant is that adding more code, even "simple" code, adds complexity to a software project. Adding 50 easy features is equal to adding one heck of complex feature made of 50 sub parts. The link with Kolmogorov

I read as you do, and as the provided linked page explains, but how is it described in the book? If the general tone of the "Meetings are toxic" chapter (passage?) is such as "you're dumb for even trying to attend, let alone organize, a mee

What's fun about the law system is that each case is open to interpretation, because of its particular circumstances. If, for example, you trade emails with the film crew saying you couldn't get permission to shoot but was going stealth any

I respectfully disagree. Harry Potter isn't considered "good" among critics, it's not a literature masterpiece. The same is true for other arts, like cinema and music. The top sellers usually aren't considered the best. "Wanted", as in the

How old are you? Next month I'm turning 30 years old and a couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with myopia. 0.25 of it, and 0.50 of astigmatism. The doctor said that I should only wear glasses when on the computer, and I thought "shit... the w

Microsoft couldn't stop them, now they have a precedent on their side, and 500 million in the bank. I think they'll win. I just wish this was the defining case of software patents, where companies would realize why it sucks. Ahhh... probabl
