I imagine you are not looking too hard. I have met many people who have dedicated their life to service and not greed. Richard Stillman is one if you need an example.

Agreed. My first thought when I saw the title of the article was: how are you defining failure? Rejection is the term I think they are really looking for, but rejection != failure unless you only think of writing in very narrow terms.

How does a transaction like this provide security for both sides? Doesn't it require someone in a transaction like this to make the transfer first? Or is there some kind of digital contract that can be signed before the transaction tak

Yes, I agree, and I do think this is another example of worse is better. The complex but correct solution is to the hard work the OP did. But the simple but better solution is to simply halt the markets.

Maxing out the RAM on any PC you buy is probably the easiest solution. Modern CPUs are fast, and I can't imagine a user having this much trouble unless there was hardware swapping. Which leads me to a question: is virtual memory even a

Maybe just max out the RAM? Computers becoming unusable is in my experience usually related to hard drive swapping.

On a deep level? I once worked at UPS loading trucks for a winter season just because I was in between jobs. It was just about the hardest I ever worked and was an interesting experience. Are you implying that I should be forced to work tec

I think what the person is asking for specifically is some kind of responsibility to an external force that will force them to keep a schedule. The thing in my life that most rigidly enforces a schedule on me is definitely not my job. It&#x

Building a website on Google Sites is trivial. I can introduce it to someone modestly tech-savvy and after one session they are good to go.

I tell people I'm vegetarian only when I am offered meat, which yes happens regularly. So I have no choice. Eating is social, so anyone who hangs with me for any amount of time is going to figure out I'm vegetarian.

Do you think there is something wrong with how animals are treated in factory farms?

by magpi3 4y ago
Why do you say that?

by magpi3 4y ago
As a vegetarian with lots of vegetarian friends, I'll add a purely anecdotal observation: People who choose to not eat meat generally do so for a reason, and for many of my friends that reason is cruelty to animals. If a person is awar

Written english and oral english are different worlds. I agree with the TV recommendations. What lots of "Friends," hopefully laugh, and try to imitate the lines as best you can.

They could just enter the license plate and an intersection into a simple database so the PPA could look it up when asked. Using Google Forms would be an adequate solution. It's just not worth their time. EDIT: or even a picture of the

Well it sounds like Facebook chose to self-censor after talking with the FBI. But they still had the legal right to not do so. It is a stickier than that though - I imagine Facebook fears regulation, not criminal prosecution. And if so, per

I suppose a big enough corporation can feel the same, at least in terms of internal politics, but the difference for me is the tenure (well-paid, almost impossible to fire) and adjunct (close to minimum wage, no health insurance, completely

Academia as a whole is such an interesting place. I value it highly because I value learning. I love school, I loved the conversations and deep dives into interesting waters that nourished me in both college and graduate school, and I loved

After programming in C for a while, I really began to have the feeling that arrays were physical things that took up space in RAM. When I think like this, starting an index at 0 is very intuitive, as 0 implies the origin point of the physic

Does the web have something to do with it? Everything is photographed and put online these days, and I wonder how that affected how people think about color both on and offline.

I was introduced to SML in 1996. It has always been a very interesting language, but it never seemed to make it out of academia, which I guess is okay. It seems to have a very nice niche there.
