Well this is especially (aka more) important when talking to a "Federal Agent". This can be US Marshals, Secret Service, Fish and Wildlife management, DEA, etc. (if you find yourself in this situation ask the person if they are an

Yes, I'm sure you could pretty easily write said program. Then the people who did this would obfuscate their code and you could probably then detect that...and the game whack-a-mole will continue. Eventually as this cycle continues you

Are you saying that in Europe colleges cannot dismiss anyone without a "legal basis" (ie they have committed a crime?) If so that is crazy..Cheating on a test is not "illegal." There are a whole host of things that are &

At our office a lot of the development takes place on computers not connected to the internet, on a separate network. I installed Codiad ( http://codiad.com/ ) on our dev server a year or so back. Recently it has taken off an

How come the overabundance of people practicing law has not driven the cost of lawyer related services down? (Supply and demand makes me assume this would be happening by now..)

So it looks like this targets Windows and Android only (maybe iOS via Xamarin...?) For an alternative the Poco C++ libraries[1] work on Android, iOS and Windows out of the box. Probably not as full featured and you obviously can't use

I spent a lot of hours fighting with the low level Android libraries while writing a Spotify App for Android back in late 2013. There is very little documentation on the web (especially for streaming Audio). Getting this working was a s

It is a little scary to me that Ben is basically saying the "Wicksellian interest rate" is the best way to steer our economy, so we strive to use that.... To rely so heavily on theory to guide actual policy is at minimum reckless

Yes, you are actually correct. Lots of people would argue that publicly traded american companies are 100% immoral. Their overall duty is to their shareholders and not the american public. [1] http://www.politicususa.com/201

I think on a macro level, teams don't always want to sell every single ticket for maximum dollar. They really want to ensure a year over year constant revenue stream. So they contract with ticketmaster to sell all of their tickets at f

Yes, in theory this is a problem in lots of languages which are weakly typed. There are lots of ways of handling this, some generic and some language specific. In python I would suggest wrapping your call in a try / expect block or usi

So they wrote all this code themselves right? No, of course they didn't. The large majority of what they are selling was written by others (kernel, Debian, etc). Are they passing any revenue to their upstream providers? They have every

I think it's easier to relate to a coin flip if we use an "unfair coin". 90% of the time the coin flip returns tails (aka fail). 10% of the time it returns heads (aka win). For a given coin flip, their algorithm can predict t
