The people quoted in this article are ridiculous. You either buy enough from Amazon to make Prime worth it or you don't.

So they are hoping people will make medical decisions based on advice from an anonymous doctor whose credentials you cannot verify and who does not have prescribing ability? Is this serious?

I believe it, I've just been skeptical of their reviews. It's good to know their auto reviews have credibility

Do people take anything consumer reports says seriously anymore? I was under the impression they started losing all credibility when they had a series of reviews where they ranked name brand products higher than their generic counterparts

Thank you for your response, that's good reasoning and I definitely see it works well for your use case. It just seems as if multiple companies are coming up with solutions to work around deficiencies in PHP which is causing fragmenta

I'd really like to know why they chose to do this instead of trying to make spltypes and type hinting more robust. Annotations seem like an ugly way of doing this.

I agree with most of what you're saying but you can easily deal with your second issue by contacting former employees and former co-workers of people working for the startup via linkedin. Many people feel this is a bit stalkerish but

I agree with your points, I'd personally prefer full transparency over anything else but that is something that needs to be hashed out by the legislative branch, which conveniently gets very little blame. If any of us have an issue wi

Does it really have to be that cynical? Don't you think it is entirely possible pre-2008 Obama's opinions were formed with the same information as the rest of us and post-2008 Obama received more information (national security br

Kevin Spacey is a notoriously private person because he feels that it makes his acting more believable. The chance of him agreeing to meet employees at Netflix is pretty low but it would kind of cool.

Easily, I once worked at a place where everyone wanted to work on the hardest problems. I could have done that also but instead I recognized that there was a lot of grunt work that needed to be done in order to get our product out and meet

I wish I could say the same about NYC startups. I once worked for a place where an employee left to a competitor which infuriated the CEO. As a result he had a meeting threatening to track down anyone who left and get them fired. In addit

Receiving unemployment happens very quick these days, typically under two weeks.

Because it is easier to bully someone to do what you want.

by psaintla 13y ago
No it doesn't, two weeks pay at that salary doesn't get you anything unemployment won't cover.

How about an obligation to not shift your employee cost of living onto the government?

There are many reasons so many papers are not reproducible. 1.) The prospective data collection methods used in a lot of studies are deeply flawed and worse aren't documented. 2.) The retrospective data used in many studies is poorly valida

If you aren't familiar with the system why make the claim that doctors have control because regulation says so?

Strictly speaking this is not controlled by any regulation You simply aren't going to get the experience necessary to perform certain surgeries with any proficiency without the aide of the gatekeepers. Also the reason for the steep price d

It's really not that simple and I say this as someone who works in health care. Doctors control how many new doctors there will be in any given medical discipline and they do this via accreditation, residencies and fellowships. You can in

There is a reason for that, real estate is an extremely high turnover occupation with an extremely low barrier to entry. I know this because when I was 18 (a very long time ago :-) ) I wrote and eventually sold the rights to real estate in

Serious question to you or anyone else who uses schemaless databases. Why is the ability to change schemas on the fly a good thing? Having worked at two companies that did, it was nothing but a recipe for disaster in large groups. Code t

I'm going to completely ignore the ridiculousness of the author's claims and stick with talking about @ suppression for a moment... Not this again! I've been working with PHP for over 10 years and seen @ suppression used at companies in the

If there is scalar type hinting I wonder if that will lead to real method overloading by adding methods with different signatures or if devs will have to stick with the __call magic method, which I despise.

by psaintla 14y ago
I am very aware that it is trivial to handle notices, errors and warnings. The problem is that PHP does not do this by default which allows people to exploit undocumented behavior. As for handling invalid input, I think you should actually
