Setting aside the malware issue, and the project graveyard smell, and just looking at it like a new platform, the design just seems all wrong. The big comic ui elements are ugly and unprofessional, and the code is too hidden, not the centra

A wee bit hostile, don't you think? You could have given the opinion with a little less vitriol.

I agree performance reviews are a waste of time, but thinking you improve things with self evaluations is even more laughable. Here's what i take away from a company saying i need to do a self evaluation. 1) The company is not going to

It's not like evolution evolves towards the ideal, it just evolves away from the deadly. So unless you can show where external testicles will cause a group of people to die off, there's no reason to believe it should have been abs

what does independent mean, tho? If you consider the human just a tool, then the dog is solving it independently.

Udell said that these results agreed with previous studies that have shown that dogs are not as good at independent problem-solving as wolves, and that they get more distracted by social stimulation. I'm not sure that's true. I th

all web applications use serialization to do session replication. Now this is safe as the both stream ends are controlled by the developer, and only if they are stupid, (instead of malicious) will there problems. Still if java serialization

The problems is, any class (that's serializable) that is on the target machine's classpath, can be used as a serializable object. So if i want to screw with a server, i can create a payload with any of those classes, and send it t

> Why does sex cause octopuses to self-destruct? Yeah, this has got to be one of the saddest parts. As smart as these creatures are, they really must start over again from ground zero for every generation. Imagine what they could do if t

>> what is the difference between an unknown alien life form and God as the origin of life, other than different starting assumptions? for one, we do know that there _are_ life forms.

Evolution doesn't make any claims about the origin of life, only how it evolves over time, and how speciation occurs. You want to rail against abiogenesis i suppose, because a magic being with fairy dust outside of time and space is mo

It's absolutely status quo. If something other than this happens you should be shocked. There is the concern over lawsuits etc, which is real, but really, the issue (I believe) is that many companies really can't articulate valid

It's quite surprising that in 2018, February still has 28 days. You'd think we'd bump it to 30, and pull two other 31's in a day.

Really? an acre is quite small. i find it hard to believe that a team of oxen can't do much more.

it's "curious" that there isn't a standard metric time. We are all happy with our Imperial clocks, i guess.

I understand your point, but reducing the requirements for job applicants just mean more men can now apply, which will likely not change the ratio.

Would there be any value in putting a telescope on the moon? You wouldn't have the atmosphere problem, and i'd expect servicing it would be mildly easier than have it out at L2 or something.? I suppose the fact that the moon was t

i've never heard meritocracy being associated with ability, to be honest. I've always heard meritocracy associated with accomplishment. I'm not attempting to validate or invalidate this argument. Just pointing it out.
