At least there is plenty of supplies offerings for the "2012: end of the world" crowd we can leverage.

Would you care sharing what exactly are your preparations? I'm at a loss figuring what is a good way to prepare. I've moved some cash to the less troubled economies but, what else?

And since when the only use for select multiple is tagging? The problem occurs when there are few options, not virtually unlimited options and especially if they are not known in advance. Then discoverability suffers and also forces you to

Excellent idea, a hash scheme per site. A multi language framework to help you build your own scheme, one which can be validated by many cryptography-knowledgeable eyes, would improve the chances of this actually happening some day. It's a

Is it only me or anybody else finds the multi select annoying and not at all good UX? It looks good but the means to select many values is inefficient and tiresome.

Right. LIDAR data would correspond to the toy ninjas, IMO.

How so? If that data alone won't bring significant improvements, how could it be the primary reason behind its collection? Much more likely they are collecting the data mainly for other applications and have the self driving car data as a n

What I'm saying is that the data alone won't make self driving cars much better, nor bring driverless cars much closer to reality.

The more things you do with strangers of any kind, the higher the risk of both harm and wonderful encounters. That, attached to the fact that most people is not crazy or evil, would give you the right path to pick.

HBO (and others) should put a donation button, publicize it to pirates and report findings. If money starts pouring then we get a win/win, HBO needs not to invest in streaming technology / bandwidth / DRM / whatever and the pirates can comp

This is a free piece of advice: try not to display your allegiance so clearly and so early (especially not before any bashing comment has even appeared!) A better approach to educate is to calmly correct each factually wrong statement, idea

They may have more and better reasons than most to be obnoxious in airport security, but this measure is nothing more than security theater (or worse,) yet again. Now that this measure is public, any terrorist worth his salt will prepare a

Yes, that's right. What I find hard to believe is that the main reason behind the project is the self driving car. I can easily believe it's one of a set of objectives.

Everyone who took Sebastian Thrun's Udacity "Building a self driving car" course (or everybody that has had training in robotics) will see that there's a whole lot more than mere training data to build a self driving car. It could be helpfu

Of course it's a hard problem. (And I've never assumed perfect honesty on either part. It seems you just read what you wanted to read to make your point.) What I'm claiming is that policies ARE needed, the current "hmm, what should I do now

I'll repeat myself to ease your fear of the rabid hordes of malignant women who want to make your life miserable: "they can make clear what will happen if they get a complaint about you." Of course what will happen from a complaint should t

I think they sold it cheap. They should have asked for something more involved than dancing where nobody even glances at you. For example, getting invited as audience to a live TV show and yelling something of interest/funny.

The policy does not need to be legally binding, just very clear of the consequences, and they can make clear what will happen if they get a complaint about you.

The fact that 80% of the time the approach is not important to get the desired result because the task only operates over small n or similar does not mean that the approaches are equal.

More than studying, learning a good book on data structures. That, and the intractable quality about learning to design systems and how invariants are involved in the design jerf talked about up there.

I can tell you that a huge international bank (as far as "progressive" as you can get) went Google Apps and ditched Office, so your thinking might be a bit off.

The question posed was "how do they differ?" not "how important is that difference?". If you ask me the latter, I'd say that for many domains it's not that important (see the caveat below.) On the other hand, for Google and Facebook and sim

I can't talk for the parent, but one significant way I expect people with formal training and people without it to differ is in how the knowledge of data structures and algorithms affects their work. If you stumble upon a problem that cries

To begin with, it's perfectly possible to increase several orders of magnitude the performance of a piece of code, you can Google for plenty of examples. In addition, going from 1 sec to 0.5 sec is indeed 100% improvement. Given 0.5 sec = 1
