While I agree with you for the most part, according to this[1] Musk does seem to have a mansion. It says the value is only $17 million though, so pretty far from Gates[2]. [1]: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/

One should of course keep in mind that stories like that give a very biased view of the life of adopted children. The stories are invariably about adopted children wanting to find their "real" parents, because that's the only

That sentence wasn't limited to mobile. People (I for example) use 3G/4G with laptops too. I don't have a data cap, but in other countries those are more common.

How does that work where you're located? At least here (Finland) it wouldn't matter what the odds are when you place the bet, since the payout is based on the odds at the moment the race starts (that is, if you bet 1 € when the od

That `butlast` removes the last three elements, but here you were supposed to remove the first three elements. So I guess `cdddr` is what you need. Also, the way the article uses `remove-if-not` is all wrong. The `:start` argument to `remov

That wouldn't be the same. The point was filtering a list (which could contain anything, not just a sequence from 1 to 4). The example seems a bit strange to me. Why does it have the check for i being less than 5, when the problem is &

The article didn't mention it, but my understanding is Kela is planning to do a pilot phase where they give 550 €/month to a group of people selected by lottery across the nation.

I think there is a third kind too; consuming media (music/video). I'm not sure how that compares to the hanging out by time-spent, but by dollars-spent I would imagine it's the biggest one.

I don't think you have to be academic to be successful in open source. One example of non-university developed financially successful open source would be MySQL. I'm sure there are others from other parts of Europe that I'm n

I've seen a lot of people mention using rlwrap with sbcl. I'm a bit curious about how people actually do the development with that. Do you use the repl to simply (load ...) files; never doing anything interactively with it? When I
