I think it's sufficient to love doing a good job, i.e., to take pride in your work. I doubt my dentist's staff is passionate about removing tartar from teeth, but I would guess they enjoy doing the work correctly. And even if you&

Much is being made of him using AOL for work emails. Seems like a fairly minor issue. The worst part was the spreadsheet with ~20 people's info on it. Otherwise, he forwarded emails to himself that he wanted to permanently have possess

I'm at least convinced that unless we make phones and iPads into good programming machines, the next generation of programmers will suffer. I know in my own extended family, children are no longer given access to full computers and qwe

Lessig is not thinking this through. If he wants to be taken seriously as a candidate he's going to need to address every single issue the others have. By the time he's done that, his message will be diluted and sidetracked, and h

Nashorn isn't actually used in Java's WebView (which my project leverages). Nashorn is used elsewhere in the JRE and replaces Rhino from prior releases, but WebView has used something else entirely: JavaScriptCore. Details: http:

DNA could be used for nefarious purposes. If eugenicists like the Nazis could have stolen Estonia's DNA records, they could have more efficiently committed genocide. I can't find the story now, but there was one country which kept

About 75 years ago, Nazis occupied Estonia and exterminated Jews. I don't think it's wise to keep a population's DNA on file.

The point was that landfills and incinerators work pretty well and that there's no rational justification to eliminate them. And landfills needed for 1000 years of USA's trash would take up about .1% of our grazing land. Just beca

The author agrees that recycling aluminum, paper, and cardboard is efficient. Glass is mildly efficient. It's that the complexity of sorting all the other waste is too costly with little benefit, so the industry relies on subsidies.

People have simply been trained to plug in their phones frequently, and especially at night. They've further been trained to replace their phones after a couple of years, before the battery fully wears out. And to me it seems the typic

You can also change your religion, marital status, and parental status. Those are all protected from discrimination. College isn't just a matter of putting in work. It's a matter of putting in money. That is the clear dividing lin

I've used all the technologies in DropWizard, but not DropWizard itself. I do think their project is on the right track and pretty much my ideal solution. But because they've designed a one-size-fits-all stack for any project, it
