Newspapers can report a Japanese company's profits in USD, but that doesn't mean yen are devoid of value…

Patents aren't copyright, it's perfectly legal to publish plans or explanations on how to build a patented device. You can even patent an improvement on a patent you don't own.

I remember the snipers... cursed them because I had a low resolution screen, so I couldn't see them from afar. The star wars one was great too (is it still alive?)

IMHO 100 people isn't a big company at all... two dozen programmers can still comfortably fit in a room and know eachother. My current company has 200k employees, we spend a large amount of time just looking for whoever is responsible

500friends, 42floors, 37signals... it's like Yahoo handlenames of the past, but for companies.

All these arguments could apply just as well to Japan, which has an obesity rate far, far lower than the US.

No, you can implement methods outside the class declaration even with templates. It just has to be in the header file rather than the cpp.

What about parking? How could the heliport handle massive traffic while in the middle of a huge city?

I work this kind of hours right now, but I think you're wrong about the motives for most people. I don't care about security (not thinking of staying in the long term, no wife/kids to support) and I see no moral superiority i

Why would, say, a VWAP order cause more fees than the equivalent limit orders?

That's a good find, but note that the name is a bit misleading: "Tokyo Metro" is only one of many train/subway corporations in Tokyo, so the pass is far more restrictive than the London one. There are a few company-speci

Not sure what these prices are based on, but in Tokyo a monthly pass for all of a zone doesn't even exist - you'd get a pass for a specific route from station A to station B only, with no buses and so on.

How old were the people you asked? I think this may the important factor.

The vast majority of appartments in Tokyo have a balcony (for laundry), let alone a window. Perhaps very very poor places... there are some without bath.

I doubt most of them would be engineers, or even technical people.

What do you work on? I find there's a huge difference between languages and projects. I don't mind writing Haskell or Python in emacs, but I couldn't live without VS for our fairly large C++ project. Debugging without the IDE is a huge pain

It would make it very difficult to study (or work) overseas, at least.

I do think that's what the poster is referring to: > the motion of the head with eyes fixed looking around the border of an object in space approximates the motion of the hand tracing the same object His argument is that this kind of ab

Then won't you get mostly the same thing, at a higher spread? Market makers would be hurt less by that than the investing public... in fact exchanges give fee rebates to market makers precisely to help liquidity.

You just precisely described pumped-storage hydro and why it's used for 99% of bulk electricity storage :)

Agreed... an exchange is more useful the more volume it has.

Usually you don't get a really high salary until you've worked a few years in the field. That's the trap, you think "I'll work there a few years and save up", but then after a few years you get to the point where your salary is really going

As far as I know the definition of osmosis is a movement of solvent across a membrane, without extra energy input, so I don't think "salt osmotes into the cells" makes sense. It would be diffusing along the gradient or undergoing active t

It's certainly a much bigger deal for someone with 3 kids to lose their job than for a single person... think about the burn rate and possible consequences of running out of money.

Cells require less oxygen at lower temperatures (metabolism slows down), so a cold brain could cope better with lower blood oxygen levels.

Generally I don't understand "C++ programmer" to mean a programmer who is an expert in C++, and C++ only, but rather a programmer who may be comfortable in many languages but has a special expertise in C++. All my team identifies as C++ pr
