He makes no sensasionalist claims that I've seen, he's only said that it's not a calibration error according to his testing. In any case the mere presence of this type of bugs are a really strong point against wasting money in these devices

You can tell when it does become unclear. If the machine reading the ballot cannot provide a single valid answer per each question based on what's in the ballot, then it should be thrown away. How close elections are is orthogonal to this i

I really have a hard time understanding this lack of "meta-intelligence" (or should we say "street smarts", that'd explain the success of at least some of your non university educated friends) While it's evident that D is nonsensical, it's

I'm not convinced. After all, colonization of far away lands has been done throughout history and in many cases the return trip was as hard as it would be on Mars. I picture the confinement problem as the most troublesome, but astronauts sp

It can be done. Ask StackExchange. And it has grown much MUCH better/easier from 2k8 R2 onwards. Don't mistake me for a Windows fan, just pointing out that Windows's gotten a lot better than it used to be.

Instead of wasting your time reading the article and then complaining, use it in finding a real HN worthy piece on the New section. I know for a fact there are lots of really interesting stuff that goes by unnoticed with 2 or 3 votes. That'

No, he made an analogy relating the reason to have monochrome ls and ancient vi/bash in BSD to the reason female genital mutilation occurs. Not exactly classy, arguable, but not out of the line either.

The implication is that time is precious because you have so little of it. If lifespans were ten thousand years, you could afford slacking a bit, just like if you have one billion dollars in your account, you can afford wasting some of it.

An interesting side project of this would be describing how the difference between O(2^n) and O(3^n) or knowing what the heap operations are have been needed in your job. And, since I'm asking already, I'd also like to know why you needed t

FWIW, you can count me in. I've understood monoids better thanks to your article. My comment was not a jab at your article, but a comment on how hard it is to find the proper abstraction level. And that I fully understand people who'd say i

The point is you don't need to disrupt that culture. That culture is in fact what would permit the idea to work. There are badly paid good programmers already in China and elsewhere. If you can manage to produce quality work and convince pe

And that's why it's a perfect niche for disruption: High barrier to entry, lots of money in the market. Yummy.

That's why I said quality perception and control . This is, making sure you are producing what's needed. As to the rest, I'm baffled. How can you even think it doesn't matter where you are? Different cultures value differently different jo

If what's described is true: a) Tons of money to be made b) Tons of unmet demand Why the outsourcing market isn't growing as much as it should? There are plenty of places with more than capable programmers which are usually paid in peanuts

I believe that efforts using trivial examples to show how complexity can be managed via certain abstractions are doomed to fail. And that's a pity, because it makes abstractions harder to explain in a proper context. You need an example whe

In the English language the word American has more than one meaning. The most prevalent is of course the gentilic, but one of the other meanings is indeed "being native or inhabitant of the American continent." The big problem with this wor

America has no single government and is a huge mixture of cultures, from Canadians to Argentinians. I hate the fact that the USA has no proper demonym in English.
