Hah how is that relevant to the present conversation? I find it very revealing indeed that whenever you say "black people disproportionately get shot by the police" someone always jumps out with "but they're more likely

I doubt that. You just have to look at plenty of footage that exists from plenty of horrifying situations. Most people in a real crisis freak out.

The url that you copy is not unusable, it's a redirect url.

Jesus... did you notice how that girl manages to keep cool while the maniac with the gun is completely melting down? Scary.

It's an extra redirect. It's an incremental deterioration of user experience, the first of many to come under the vc drum beat. I was positively aware that they weren't doing it and noticed about an hour ago that they started

Depends. Amazon's terms and conditions for participation in their affiliate program explicitly states that doing that is breach. What they can do, and like I mentioned do do, is they close down your account and keep your money, and now

I refuse to believe that NO ONE ELSE out there does the "read page in order to target ad" thing.

Interesting. Amazon has rules on their affiliate program against storing price information. They have recently kicked out a big player in the space for this reason. Any info on why camelcamelcamel has been allowed to stay?

I'm a "small but not insignificant" adsense publisher. I have in the past received phone calls from an account manager on the phone. I have the phone number they called from, but if you call them it always goes to voice mail.

I'd like to remind everyone that in the USA corporate tax is a humongous 35% rederal, plus state. The point being that there's other ways to attract business that are more effective at growing revenue than cutting tax.

Which is of course false. When you're learning a language as an adult you can read and memorize the other language's grammar from a book. This significantly speeds up your learning.

Careful. We also doubted the Brexit would win and the chavs used that to fuck us over.

Hi Peter, thanks for your time. I'm European and I live in London and run a small advertising business (business is just me). I have a PhD in STEM. I can code. Given this, what would you advise is the best route if I want to work and l

Yes, it does matter. Following the machine without understanding what's going on is how you make mistakes.

You know they have $1m, or are you guessing? References please?

Thanks for this answer. After reading it it seems to me that every other answer is just saying "C is hard" with a lot of words.

Ok, so why is Python so slow (comparatively)? I had understood that must of the speed-critical tasks in python were done by wrappers of lower-level C code. Example: numpy. Is this not correct?
229.
by oneloop 10y ago
Could someone clarify: why is Go faster than say Python? And if the answer is just that it's a lower level language and therefore has less overhead, why not just use C?

Why do you take the time to make empty comments? Think about that. Anyway, it's acceptable American English. Comments empty and wrong.

Considering how nervous policemen seem to be when approaching a car that they just pulled over, I'm surprised to hear this.

Thank you! Reading the Reuters article it's not really that they could defend themselves. The government just went "we have to be the bigger man or someone will get hurt". They waited a couple of years and then arrested him w

I would LOVE to see a reference. Something tells me it's not exactly as you're describing. Knowing how sensationalist the media tries to always be, my instinct is to imagine that these people were well armed and fought some govern

This is complete bullshit, and is what you're sold in the USA. When there is a gun culture amongst the population what happens is that the government acquires an even stronger gun culture (ie SWAT teams that raid the house, kill the do

Out of interest, what is it that you do in your life that you're informed about such unusual knowledge?

So? This text is aimed at people who care about the final 10%. People who score zero on every other part of the rubric aren't falling into the partial control fallacy.

In the old days, if you used torrents to distribute p2p you'd get sued. If you used someone else's website to distribute, the website would get sued. Now, people use YouTube to distribute but people get sued, not YouTube. Why is t
