but libraries pay for their books. And a library might buy many copies of a popular book.

i don't think it depends what area. almost every single person in all of those fields will have done some coding before. Even if that means cs 101

i don't think it benefits authors. I think searching for a book and reading a few pages and being done with it. That isn't ideal for authors at all. Some people just need to read a few things in the book.

of course i disagree. There are plenty of things that would benefit the public but are illegal. Maybe an infinite number of things.

i don't think the reasons are convincing. I don't think that it benefits the public is a good reason.

to get into a phd program, i mean. a phd from a "top school" means you did your homework in college and high school.

i'm sure that's extremely rare though. maybe like 1 person per year may have no idea what coding is and get admitted to a program for CS.

if you do that you might as well forget the PhD. Schools don't want to teach you, they want to accept the best applicants. Applicants who work on open source projects and can get a job anywhere. Applicants that became great learning fr

people bash google because it's becoming a waste land. There is no aversion to change, in my opinion. There's aversion to bad decisions.

i got As in almost all my classes in math without really understanding anything. It was like a train I couldn't stop. I couldn't ever slow down for a month and say "I'm going to work on trigonometry this whole month so I

i don't think the design is unusual at all. It's not like i go to theatlantic.com and the first thing i notice is that the design is "unusual." it's just not as "slick" as something like qz.com

Even though there may be a cultural difference, it's not enough. Look at Modern Japanese architecture. There are tons of different styles. Some clean and minimal, others maximal and extremely busy. Japan is a very pluralistic country a

i think the best part of it is that you can take it outside, or take it to a client. 2 hours isn't a lot, but it is enough for a meeting with someone at a starbucks or at their home.

this IS for me. this is for my board games.

i don't think that's an engineering innovation either.

i think it takes some leap of imagination to think of kids having fun with this kind of toy. it's engineering plus toys plus the confidence to know that it will be massively successful so you pursue it all the way and get a patent. it&

in terms of hardware what has valve done? Make an awesome controller which is still an iteration of today's generation of controllers? Yeah, they have things in the pipeline, but some of those may fail, like virtual boy. Or they may be

This might explain why some of the reviews make absolutely no sense at all.

Do you know what it feels like to be a 5'1" white male or a 7'2" obese white male or a 6'5" white female? Race problems do exist, but because you're white doesn't mean you don't have problems wit

is it because you got used to using Word or because you found Word better? I'm pretty dependent on Photoshop and Illustrator. Most likely because I've used them for so long. I get really frustrated using GIMP. I figure that's

if you have a paper to write or something, some younger people i've seen, they've really gotten accustomed to Word and Powerpoint. If you're not an expert on the one program you need that's only on Windows, I think you c
