The bus line is now "taking money". When you're for-profit, the homeless it is a paying customer and keeps his dignity. The hidden cost of non-profit or social services is dignity.

Stupid Question: It is this a business opportunity? How about a few parked buses? I know this goes nowhere (like the hypothetical buses), but if somebody starts renting parked-bus seats for $5 a night: is this a better situation than the ac

Oracle's skills are very, very useful when your problem is paying the bills. I've done 6502 asm in the commodore 128, 80286, 386 and also ORACLE & public sector large "enterprise-y" software on the other hand. Guess

This will eventually increase the price of digital goods or decrease it's quality. The problem is VAT. This is another advantage for VAT-free USA startups. ¿Maybe this will also give an impulse to cryptocurrencies in EU?

They're using bind-params, but instead of using "?" as placeholder, they were using "named" placeholders, and, the placeholder name was constructed using the associative array key (externally received). The mistake

If time is just movement, time is not a particular property of the universe, just a construction of ours as observers. Then the universe is matter, space and movement, and "time" is one useful illusion to ourselves, but it is not

if radiation propagate, there are movement. Imagine if even particle generation and radiation propagation stops.

I concur. But not just for entropy, for all movements. Time is a human construction to order sequences of events. All our "time" measures are based on cyclics movements . Make yourself a question, if ALL movement stop (include

There isnt a struggle?. Do the non-resistant bacteria "try" to survive and fail, then die? or it "just die"? The inverted phrase will be a PR disaster for Darwin ;)

It is not just a spin? "survival of the fittest" is exactly the same as "death to the weakest". "survival of the fittest" = "not survival of the not-fit" And also "fit" it is not the same as

In the curved-tube image, clearly the ball will exit with a clockwise spinning, because it'll be rolling on the external wall of the tube (based on the "Newtonian principle" of inertia). I'll bet if you try it as a exper

It is not a "trap". In "C" it is required to generate fast machine code. It's a trade-off, not a "trap".

If you really love programming, it does not matter what other people do. You learn more alone in front of a computer, solving things, than in a classroom. Youn do not need a degree to hack.
