Given that interest rates are 0.25% and inflation (non-core, the one you'll be paying) is >3% ... what is your alternative ? A pension is the only chance you have of a decent life when you get old. There is nothing else.

Some renew your office subscription and get you excel updates etc for another year, and cost like 20-30$ more than just the office subscription itself.

Injunction is a way to prevent more damage from occurring. So generally speaking, injunctions : 1) are only available either during a trial or as a last resort (if you can make a good case the defendant won't pay even if the judge comp

There are so many planes that cannot land in the event of complete electrical failure ... starting with every last modern passenger airliner. There the problem is that human strength is not enough to control flaps and hydraulics are too hea

Why bother with helipads ? Silicon valley has plenty of parkings and it is actually perfectly legal to land on them (assuming of course your plane is capable of that, which most aren't). This is assuming you have permission from the ow

Also, given enough money available, why ask people to build vulnerabilities in ? Does anyone seriously think Apple's (or anyone's) kernel team doesn't have a single guy/girl that made at least one mistake ?

Actually if that's what you want I'd advise you to buy a windows 10 tablet. They run old (and gog.com) games and come with decent mouse emulation and actually last 4-5 hours on battery. Taking games like Spelunky on a 400 gram tab

That reasoning works until the judge considers damages. Then let's say it's a small developer, not too much work, and no commercial interest in the code. Damages are limited, in western law, to, well, damages. You need to have suf

Apparently they run at a loss in new cities for months even into years. They give away tons and tons of free rides on the client side and actually pay drivers more than they get in payment (even ignoring their overhead) until they can guara

With interest rates at 0.25% and the Fed talking about doubting whether they should go down or up, I hope you're not thinking that a pension fund will take care of you when you're old. That won't happen. With interest rates u

I have a question. 125.4 Pflop/s ... that would be about 23k nvidia GPUs (granted, 1080s). They claim they'll be able to do that with 10k by the end of the year, beginning of next year with server-class GPUs. So that Chinese numbe

What I found works best is that you assume that successful managers are just lucky. Treat them like an addicted gambler and you will be successful. More of what they think made them successful, never pointing out the odds and the fact that

You seen the replacement rate of energy with solar panels in the last 2 years or so ? Granted, cost calculations for those were done when oil was $100, but they made sense at that point and solar has been lowering in cost by ~27% per year.

And yet 5 posts away you see people blaming Israelis for refusing to expose themselves to that same treatment. The big detail always omitted is that Palestinians have their culture in a massive area, yet Israelis don't have one square

How does Xamarin compare with other ways to get platform native across all platforms ? There's haxe (actionscript-like, but typed), which has lots of libraries. There's QT. I haven't even followed that well which others exist

Ever since google decided that webviews shall not have adblocking I hate it when apps use them. They sort of do on ios but not on android. After adblocking got started web ads have gotten so much worse, and I have zero tolerance for it now.

With articles like this one can see why all the social media companies and even Google put people in a "bubble". Twitter for the most part doesn't, and this sort of thing happens. Expect more bubbles, and to be isolated furth
