Considering I trust the average TSA employee about as much as a junky I found on a street corner, no way am I letting my electronics out of my sight. I already take them all on as carry on specifically to keep the TSA from stealing them, mo

As a third party to this debacle, all I have to go on is the comments people have made, but a few of them have asserted that that language was added later on and some initial versions of this change either outright lacked that warning, or e

In the first case, the project maintainer/owner was asked to make the change, and it's implied possibly paid to do so. But as previously stated, that particular case wasn't that bad, since the only thing shady there was the u

I imagine it has more to do with the fact that simply saying "Spring app" will make most people assume it's written in Java. It would perhaps be better to say it's a Kotlin Spring app, but honestly the web framework bein

It seems like that would only matter if you assume that a bid can't be canceled or changed. Assuming you're free to cancel or modify a bid right up until the close, whether you put the bid in at the start of the window or the clos

In what way is he incentivized? What advantage does he get from waiting till the last possible moment? He has no clue what the current bids are, so whether he bids at the start or the end he still has exactly as much information. He'll

Nobody investing in gold is doing it because of the industrial applications of the metal. If you're valuing gold based on its uses it's massively overvalued. The use case for bitcoin, or more accurately what it gives you that

Sure, the value is highly unpredictable and swings around massively, not to mention the current squabbling that brings the future of the currency into question (not all crypto-currencies mind you, this is specific to bitcoin). Investments h

Clickbait? Someone wanted to speculate more and the market was starting to settle down a bit so they decided to stir the pot a bit? Every time you see a "major" news outlet put one of these pieces out, either talking about how rid

Same reason gold is worth something, it's a limited resource that's fungible and a large enough people are willing to trade in to make it useful for acquiring goods.

Maybe? Depends on how it shakes out. Now is certainly the time to speculate, you've got probably a 1/3 chance of making money off it. The three possible outcomes would be, a) bitcoin never recovers, you lose the money you're

In that context it's the cheese that's being melted, not the sandwich. Melting implies some kind of state change from solid to liquid (or semi-liquid), which is in fact the case in a melt sandwich where the cheese is melting. In t

Fair enough, but at the same time when you start getting to the level where they don't know about the details they need to start trusting the people below them to make decisions and take their advice. Far too often you see technically

Having not really looked into the Java 9 features much yet can you expand on that last point? It sounds like that's more or less what I'm looking for though. Is it possible to declare a package to be open to multiple modules? I.E.

Well, I don't know about better, Ceylon is just a different approach. There are some things Ceylon does that I like better than Kotlin, and vice versa. Both are certainly better than Java though.

Spring, Jackson, and other libraries that perform various "magical" feats around DI and serialization make heavy use of reflection to inspect private fields. Generally though they don't require write access to those field

Technically the way the US legal system works, the expected outcome is that Comcast loses, pays this company, and then sues their independent contractors to recover the damages they had to pay out.

I'm not really understanding how this is superior to existing notation. It looks like the only unusual thing being done is putting the lvalue as the first argument to the "function", otherwise this looks like a fairly bog sta

Watching the fluctuations of BTC, ETH, and LTC they seem to be fairly strongly correlated with each other, at least over the last ~month or so, and increasingly so coming to the present time. It will be interesting to see if in the coming w

Interesting perspective. I can't help but think of what happened with E3 and PAX. E3 decided that they wanted to be an industry only event and banned the general public and all but a handful of elite media companies. In reaction Penny-

Yep. Everyone has been saying SMS is not a secure channel for forever now, and this is only one of many possible attacks that can be used to trivially bypass SMS based auth. It's sad but true that in general banks have some of the

I was really struggling to understand the point of this, but your comment made it click, it isn't actually about tracking, it's all head games. That's really messed up, but I guess considering the sorts of people that would

The principle of supply and demand doesn't really work, it's too simplistic a view. In the small scale, in a controlled environment sure it works fine, but real markets are messy with lots of factors impacting them, so it tends to

First time I've even heard of this honestly, but my reaction is sort of "meh". Might have been interesting had it gone through, but I don't see how it changes much of anything that it didn't either. The courts rulin

Just for some statistics, I just purchased it but the main selling point for me is cross platform. I use Windows/Linux at home and Mac at work, so a tool that works on all of them is a real boon to me. This way I can customize and use

You might also want to check out Kotlin. It's basically what everyone wished Java 8 had been, but wasn't because a) backwards compatibility, and b) difference of opinion (looking at you Optional). We have a set of coding conventio
