To hell with it. Let's just ship it with a miniature Babbage engine and finally give it the practical application it deserves.

Why I wonder? While they're gobbling up DT Sea, they only have 1 building in Bellevue. Isn't there room to set up shop in Fremont or Kirkland and poach more engineers from Microsoft/Tableau/Expedia etc and reducing com

Parent comment was suggesting less attention given to physical attraction and more to other forms of attraction (personality, intelligence, SES, etc.), not that all forms of attraction were ignored.

We call this guy "lightning rod". Interesting how we've all identified this actor with different but essentially synonymous terms.

The problem is momentum. I could use unsigned int everywhere, but then I have to constantly typecast to int and back anywhere I use a library expecting signed ints. If we all switched to unsigned int by default, then everything would make

Yes but I would still want applicable laws preventing drone instigated powerouts for the rest of the country not within 5 mi of an airport.

No CEO can ignore their duty to their shareholders. All of them manage a delicate balance between satisfying shareholders, employees, clients, etc some of whose interests will be partially in conflict. It will always be imperfect. Even i

Why is student loan debt not dischargable in bankruptcy? If it were, banks would be far less likely to issue them, students would find cheaper education alternatives, and universities would be forced to provide greater assistance.

I think minute incremental charges are the signature for a service that is "serverless". While serverless components are part of your architecture, what is exposed and billed monthly is a standard SaaS interface. In this sense,

There is a http://jpad.io/ which was probably modeled after .NET's LINQpad.

Also, will men be reviewing men, and women reviewing women? And will the owner have the option to retract pictures sent?

The opposite, I would say. Google has strict guidelines for ad creative content and polices its ads as well; they're almost certainly above their own bar. So this is essentially threatening to block everyone else, or at least those b

Suppose that were true. Then they would want to conduct this as publicly and noisily as possible in order to propagate that fear. Which would be counter to what Streisand Effect suggests.

Trump has countless vocal detractors. Trying to silence a solitary one seems pointless, though I wouldn't entirely put that past this administration. Am I misreading Streisand effect? Trying to prevent a fact from becoming well known
