It's way too open to hacking and anyway it's a racing sports not a popularity contest so I think the FIA would make a HUGE mistake in getting the crowd to determine (or influence) the outcome of the race.

This really is the driving force of the filmmaker and I really can't blame him for ignoring his neighbour after having listened to her on so many occasions... It's not like he was insensitive towards her but as humans we all have

What I find shocking is life insurance companies paying out the family of the insured if he/she commits suicide. As far as I know, there is no such clause on life insurance contracts in the Europe (and I believe the U.S. as well). Sure

RIP. A great man from the entertainment industry. I hope Nintendo come up with a great and powerful console after the Wii U generation.

I am going to play devil's advocate here. I was not born into a rich family (although we were not living in indigence either) so maybe my arguments will carry more weight. The way I see it is that the world is unfair. If I were to make

Carl Icahn must be a very upset activist investor now. I wish Michael Dell can improve Dell's figures - I think they do make very solid hardware but their profit margin in the consumer space are just too thin. They either need to push

I read Down And Out In Paris and London and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a detailed account of how it was (and probably still is) to be poor at Orwell's time. I believe The Road To Wigan Pier must be quite similar alt

Is the Go GC Collector not good enough so you have to resort to this? Would be good if you had the option (like in Java) to specify heap min and max sizes - and if set to the same value your heap would never resize.

That's why I believe one should always try to minimize his ego and embrace the kind of humility a curious kid has. I know that I am good at what I do but I keep being curious and waiting to be told "You're wrong. this is the

That simply isn't true in the world of banking. Why do you think the financial crisis occurred? Bonuses are DISCRETIONARY and therefore even if trader A and B are in the same division, trader A may get a significantly higher bonus than

How is that a counterpoint? It only shows covers of romance novels where the men look muscular and the women pretty. If men paid less attention to looks than female why are there so many arguably good looking women with so many arguably pl

With so many millionaire/wealthy hackers in California it is not so abnormal. Plus Tesla being based in this region they probably benefit from the proximity and the Silicon Valley Pride effect. Now I'd be really interested to see

That is some seriously high valuation given Uber's current (and even projected) numbers. But I understand what Google is trying to do. I would agree that the self driving car business will take a lot longer than we think even in places

Interesting article. You guys should maybe split this "cookbook" into multiple articles where you will briefly cover socket.io, Mongoose, and unit testing.

I remember learning Haskell at Imperial College London - a very nice language. I had never tried a functional language before and just loved how "natural" if felt after getting familiar with it. I would love to re-learn it but I a

I still find it hard to accept that FIFA is now better than Pro Evo. Not that I was a die hard fan of the latter, but I honestly never thought EA would make so much efforts to polish their game and topple Konami by the same occasion.

I am starring your project as I think it could be very useful for me and many others. Btw I think you should show Vegeta doing the Big Bang Attack as the project image - it would look cooler:-)

Sure! I'll send you a mail tomorrow when I return to London. Sharing ideas on how to improve parsing is a great idea!

I'll just take the wise approach here of "wait and see". Way too much hype going on.

How does this work? I am surprised that you could be allowed to keep (and in fact still be part of) your current job when you are supposed to go to prison.

How so? The MAC address is unique for each device and makes it much more easy to identify an individual. Anyway, I did not consent for this data to be collected when I walk down the City to go to or come back from work. However, given the

Great post. Really enjoyed and empathized with you. Btw, 12 start-ups in 12 months? That's pretty impressive. However how about building one start-up per month, then if one takes off focusing on the project that as the most momentum? T
