Perl is also a nasty language to work with. Incredibly ugly. Even if perl was the standard for data science, I would be looking to escape it at every opportunity. In fact, that's what I did when I worked in a sector that had tooling

Have you used any other DVCS other than git? Bitkeeper ux us vastly better. Git ux is rough.

It is getting easier. There was a time when I, as an "IT professional", dared not use Linux for the unbearable amount of pain that I would experience in wifi drivers, screen resolutions and support, et c. It is absolutely, objec

It is possible that some people don't have the ability to do math well in the same way that I don't have the ability, try as I may, to draw well. Should society have a place both kinds of people? Those who can't draw and th

I'm not. Solitary Confinement in prisons is so horrific to most prisoners, that they'd rather be in a den of predators with the possibility of getting raped than be in Solitary Confinement.

Exactly. Injecting 2 NICs and the internet into a function call isn't a panacea. People talk of monoliths as if code libraries don't exist. You can have fantastic independent interfaces with libraries too, if you want them.

My kids aren't getting a smart phone and no screens except within sight of other members of the household. The house router shuts down internet during the night. Welcome to North Korea. I will win.

Not a chance. Dedicated sillicon hardware for a given domain is vastly faster -- normally an order of magnitude or more. The real question is do you have $10 million dollars for a sillicon mask set to fab your first chip?

Gold is real though. At the end of the day women frequently want it as jewelry and men will literally kill to gain access to women. Violence underpins fiat currency as well. USG will take away everything you own and put you in jail unless

The kitchen aid in our kitchen scares the heck out of me around children. That machine could rip an arm off a child very easily.

Only if the parents are also highly conscientious and heavily invested in their children, which is not given. I've encountered a number of people in my career who are being under-utilized, because no one pushed them in their education

The GED isn't our A-levels. It's mostly for people who dropped out of high school for some reason and don't want to have "high school dropout" be their identity. SAT's are more akin to our college-bound testi

Yes, you only take action once you're sure you're right and you'll win--that's the beauty. Currently, if you're up against megacorp, you're almost literally betting the farm and you're almost guaranteed to

Exactly, but if your lawyers believe your case, they'll keep fighting for you because the big corp will be footing the bill. As it currently stands, legal actions need to be taken to seek recompense from losing parties and frequently

The game theory calculus changes dramatically. You only enter lawsuits where you're pretty sure you'd win and you convince the lawyers on your side too. If the lawyers know they're getting paid, they don't care how big

If payday loans didn't exist, those using it would... wait for payday and defer their consumption by 1-2 weeks. Usurious loans aren't a solution and only enable foolish behavior.
