The weird thing is that it differs from your perspective. If you're looking in from "infinity" (ie. where the gravity field of the black hole is negligeable) there appears to be a region where nothing can get to : the event h

It doesn't just do that. A careful reading of the establishment survey will tell you that the unemployment ratio is unemployment = total jobs reported / people saying they're in the labour force (ie. who have a job or collect

But how does that work with tolerance ? After all, several religions teach that that is in fact allowed, albeit with conditions. I think you won't quite find that in India raping women is "morally allowed", but merely that if

Maybe we should just put the conclusion of these sorts of discussions somewhere in here as well: This criticism applies essentially to any higher abstraction, not just to C++. Higher abstractions make it easier to do complex things, and thu

This is far beyond ethical concerns and distinctly into fraud territory. They planned to generate false data to convince customers to buy their products, and to get governments to approve their shit. And of course, when they get caught, the

It's not just the jobs. Self-driving trucks will transform an industry where large amounts of humans are necessary into (yet another) industry where capital is the only thing that matters. Once trucks are self-driving, larger companies

> Six of today’s 10 wealthiest Americans are heirs to prominent fortunes. The Walmart heirs alone have more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of Americans combined. That's Amazing. Here's a list of the 10 wealthiest of my count

How much exposure do they have to the financial sector ? As in 2008, we should be wary of cross-pollination. The limits on the banks' exposures are dependent on counter party risk. GS's exposure is far more, but they insured most

They are, but they are relatively short term, 1-2 years. Plus companies don't just take out one, but they take them out regularly (and have done so for quite a while now). Since they revolve the credit, they effectively become variable

Company cars (which are tax-exempt or partially tax-exempt in some parts of Europe) care a lot about this.

TLDR: volatility. Exactly because money is so cheap to borrow, and the volatility that will result. The problem is the difference small moves in interest rates will make to your debt payments. It's the same problem as with oil. Oil has

Given what the uber app does when it starts up (show you a map of your locations, with data from a few uber cars moving across it), I'd bet the app essentially contacts the servers immediately when it starts. The only this would get th

I'm sure that by current legal standards, that statement is very much not true.

Plus this is a very slippery slope. What about loans that your great-grandfather defaulted on ? This is a very clear-cut injustice that may be easy to prove. Already student debt gets special (and despicable) treatment in that regard. We re

I bet that will turn out to be a massive tactical misjudgment by the air force once we really start switching to drones, at which point 5000lbs or less is no longer a limitation at all.

I do actually experience this : functional style is shorter, more effective, and more bugfree, and you can do it even in Go (if you're willing to copy bits to compensate for lack of generics). However, there is a large class of program

How does housing fit into this view ?

There's plenty of votes to do exactly that. On the right, well we all know why On the left, because it overwhelmingly victimizes women (some truth to that, of course, there's some truth to the rightist argument as well)

I don't get that such a thing is even possible. Those workers were offered compensation, including future compensation, in trade for work now. Why does the state get to annul the future compensation once the work is done ? Even weirder

These discussions always end up the same way. We don't know a solution to the problem of poverty, so people advocate just using the government to force a solution to the problem. This won't work. Now don't get me wrong : that

The short answer is because of taxes. You can't have both taxes and fully free exchange of money.

Many of the comments here evoke that feeling : that Go doesn't have compromises. History teaches us that this is not in fact the case. Reality is that Go doesn't have too many compromises ... yet. I've run into more than a fe
