Generally speaking people make the argument that maximizing individual profit is inevitable. Socialist systems simply make the group of people that maximize individual profit very small. In reality the difference between capitalism and comm

Exactly, a lot of the freelancer workplaces used to work like this. Vworker.com comes to mind, but there's a lot of others. Arguing about work not done was a major hassle.

I understand that list comprehensions are only for simple list construction. So you don't print or branch. Comment is pretty simple though. My perspective is that in large codebases I have far more trouble remembering function names an

We buy the cheapest server that meets our needs, and buy it in somewhat larger quantities (often double what was originally envisioned for less than was originally budgeted). Much more efficient. But it does mean no IPMI. However I built a

Same can be said about string theory. In fact, there's an (in)famous book about exactly that statement : http://www.amazon.com/Not-Even-Wrong-Failure-Physical-ebook/... (Word of warning: do not indicate to your pr

I don't get this. The list comprehension is much clearer for me. Do you have a mathematical background ? If you can easily think about sets I would expect the list comprehension to be far clearer. List comprehensions are much easier to

That's the problem with "client-side encryption". It doesn't work because the provider also has the power to replace the code with no say from you. And it's not very detectible because they do it all the time.

The big issue I'm having with that is that it involves trusting vendors to get network boot right. Especially when it comes to the looping part of "loop until DHCP gets a response" it becomes a problem. One of the cheap vendo

This is over a short period and doesn't count stuff like the Sudanese "civil war" muslim raids on Southern villages, which would have made that graph look like a rounding error.

Ok. How about "because the states stopping them were sabotaged by external actors". In Iraq's case pretty obvious. From a local's perspective, here's what the US did : 1) remove nationalists from power by destroying

Strictly speaking not true. Monogamous marriage is the only kind of marriage that can be started in the US. The US does, however, recognize non-monogamous marriages.

If we're programmers and "devops" why does anyone bother with this sort of thing ? If ops team can, and does, recompile everything regularly then why not just have them as constants in the code, or in some cases just directly

Are those transit passes just covering commutes ? Or are they the closest thing public transport has to a car (global access to all routes) ?

Example of the problem with mass transit : http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/pseudosc/masstransit.htm 1) Money: generally speaking, depending on the number of passengers mass transit is a little cheaper (1 person), about

Engineers are also a necessity for terrorist groupings. It may very well be that engineers aren't any more likely to become terrorists, it's that the ones that do are much more likely to find a terror cell that will take them, whi

Given that there is a 10x price difference in some cases, I would doubt this. The bigger a company is, the more sense colo or dedicated makes. You don't have to manage a datacenter just because you don't go for Amazon. There'

Oh right ... so that's what the Mongols were doing ... "trade". In way that's even a correct statement, as islam has slavery. But of course, by that standard you might as well call the Iraq invasion "oil trade"

First : can we stop conflating ethnic makeup and religion ? It is an ugly, racist ideology that muslims keep pushing. Race and religion have nothing to do with eachother. Obviously Uighurs have not "always been muslim" (aside from

As a non-American I'm really frustrated that what you don't get is translations. Disney movies for the kids have been translated into 100 or so languages, yet buying one on iTunes gets you English and -maybe- Spanish. And then whe
