   That is a very simplistic and uninformed view. He does not compare the cost of electronics, gas, automobiles or even other exotic foods. Each of these cost more in India than they do in USA. One has to consider how much of the costs of th

   Also android seems to be the bottom layer no matter what order i turn the layers on. This is idiotic.

   imgur has had voting, comments and it's own little community for a while now. It could cannibalize the image macro based subreddits (like /r/pics /r/funny) which drive so much traffic to reddit. imgur is also not ge

   Some companies have license agreements that forbid reverse engineering their software if you have used it / worked on it. It may be even worse if you have actually looked at the source code of the closed source alternatives. INAL, But

   I don't understand facebook hate. While it is a bad platform in its current state (for me) because of all the noise, it is also a great platform for many people to stay connected. Their engineering team also seems to deliver some great

   Heh, I am a HPC programmer, I am not from the financial sector :) If you can give me links or pseudo code for these algorithms, I can look it up (may be even make a simple example and put it on our github page!).

   We have a matrix library in C++ that works on top of CUDA and OpenCL. I recently added a monte carlo based option pricing example. which can be seen here: https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire_examples/blob/m

   > It's a software engineering company. This sort of implied a generalization.

    You can not say that is always true. Microsoft is a software engineering company as well, but they do have a dedicated R&D team and offices.

    This is anecdotal evidence but I've noticed people using idevices mention the models rather than generic device names. I wonder why that is.

    All of those were experiments and not paid products. I don't see Google shutting down stuff that people are actually paying for.

    Curios how many people here actually use Lua ? What are the applications you are using it for ? I know it is used a bit in the gaming industry for scripting purposes, but I am not aware of anything else. We use it internally to map some of

    I've started my emacs config from scratch a few months ago to understand it better. Right now it is ~160 lines (not including the plugins). Plugins have been added for Markdown mode, go mode, ESS (for R and Julia) and Jabber for chat.

    This was probably done to persuade the people complaining about porting their codebase to OpenGL (and hence Linux / SteamOS).

    Can you not be added to a team of the said organization ? Or is it that github is not allowing team members of organizations to participate ?

    "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" I think this old proverb is appropriate here. What seems acceptable today can and will be used to persecute dissent. That is the nature of humans as we exist today.

    The problem the user was facing had nothing to do with java. I'd say that is pretty much off topic.

    Unlike late 20th century, Writing in the 15th century was rare and a costly endeavor. It is possible that it is an expression of whimsical fantasy. But it would be highly unlikely for this reason.

    I understand. I was just checking for my own curiosity. May be there is no literature on this because the 6k method is very widely known and seems to be quite a bit faster. There may be minor tweaks to your algorithm that can make it signif

    I implemented this in python to compare this version with the semi naive version I am wrote for projecteuler problems a few years ago. The semi naive version checks only the numbers of the form 6n + 1 and 6n - 1 because all other numbers (

    I can re read the points you made from a libertarian / anarchist tone as well. (I see very little difference in the two). For example: - "whatever means necessary" can mean using illegal (contra legal ?) means to intimidate t
