I don't know.... I have not seen this study, but: 1> I feel I can safely say that I am more productive than the median programmer, as are probably a majority of visitors to Hacker News 2> I am aware of many famous programmers

Since I won't have time to read this book for at least several months - what are those colonists able to spend their newfound wealth on? Goods that will have to travel from lightyears away?

Can you describe the process of assigning interviews to interviewers and the process of choosing times for the interview sessions? If I wanted to set aside a time period of say, 8 contiguous hours every week, during which I wanted to do as

I'm not the best at reading meteorological maps but, if I understand this jet stream forecast right, it looks like it's Beijing and South Korea that are going to miss out. http://www.weatherstreet.com/international

I think maybe that is beside the point. If new money is created, and the new money is not distributed evenly among all citizens, all those citizens who receive less than an equal share are harmed while those who receive more than an equal s

What if you use your mobile phone to receive a million texts per day and the sender uses a different service provider. Your service provider has to pay for all that data moving through its network one way or another...

Seriously? Cooking, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, driving to places, filling out tax returns, shopping for clothes or household goods.... Fully automated solutions for any of the above either do not exist or are prohibitively expensi

Most of those people are still relying on the stock market to sustain exponential growth. If my investment strategy is based purely on dividends, then it's true I do not require share prices to grow. But if I am going to grow my portfo

As someone who has worked on building a custom consumer API for kafka (in a distant past, before the 9.0 Java consumer came out) I am curious about how much engineering effort this required. I can see from github that the project is about 1

Fine... I should have said "or" instead of "and". I think it's a valid question in the context of your code size comparison.

I've never been sure what to make of that movie. The writer/director obviously know how to make a high-quality, engrossing movie, as demonstrated by everything that happens on Discovery One during the middle part of the movie. B

This is good to know about, but the reporting is not great and is imprecise about many things. For example, the map portrays an enormous dead zone covering maybe 10-20% of the pacific ocean. It seems improbable to me that the entire highli

Are you saying they don't need to have a dean in order for the school to function? That might be true but, assuming it's not true, the best they could do to reduce the cost of deans would be to reduce the dean's salary by hal

Aside from the associated cost savings, how is that any better than having the delivery guy drop the computer parts at your doorstep after ordering them on your phone?

The grass in my lawn (in Connecticut) really thrives in the soil here. If I let it go for a whole month in the may-oct range, then it becomes 12-15cm long and takes hours and hours for my little mower to get through. Perhaps I just need to

Around where I live, you probably have to mow about 25 times per year. The lawn care people have quoted me about $70 per time to mow my ~1 acre yard. That's $1750 per year. It looks like, if these robots are able to become 20-30% c
