I'm going to guess that the last line, the one with the truncated text, says "Youtube, it's awesome" in full. Context is pretty powerful; this doesn't seem like a bad image at all: to me it demonstrates precisely th

It absolutely doesn't follow that it was enough. Someone might report it to facebook rather than sell it on the market out of principle regardless of the bounty, while still thinking that the bounty is way too low relative to the sever

No, because chaining that with an additional filter operation will create intermediate lists.

It doesn't matter if restaurants, cafés, etc. generally make a profit; that's not what the university should be concerned with.

And it's hard to see how this is "new technology ". For one thing, we already had vrbo and couchsurfing, didn't we? What's the new tech here? And who cares if it's new technology? Is new technology in itself g

How do you get the value back?

He was obviously not being ingenuous and it's amazing to me that anyone can watch the video and think there's any question about it; he's describing the fact that they had to figure how to do side-effects. And indeed, they di
