If you rewrote this exact logic in Python it would be longer, because then the code would actually be readable. However, fortunately it's just two chars: {}

Keep them, but don't think of it as a reading list. Think of it as a database of things you've created which might be worth reading. You can't learn a million things at once, you've got to pick a topic and focus.

What I know about the DPRK: - There are North Korean work camps in Russia, where exported North Koreans perform slave labor such as cutting down trees, for literally nothing. - They engage in weapons trade with foreign countries. - If you a

There are numerous strains of HPV which are completely asymptomatic and it is not economical or usual for doctors to even test for these strains. If you've had sex, there's a good chance you carry it. Same with cold sores. If you&

Wrong. If you marry and have sex with one female you've still got a good chance that she's at least got HPV. Unless maybe she's a virgin. In which case there's even a chance she contracted one during childbirth or throug

So, just a thought. In earlier times if you were famous or powerful someone labored for months to chisel your bust out of stone. Now, with facebook, everyone can have their very own special low-resolution digital bust!

Do what I did: join the Army as a linguist. Now I have served 1 out of the six years of my commitment, and I've learned Arabic while I got paid for it with all my living expenses taken care of. Also when I get out I can go back to scho

There's another huge problem, Facebook currently gives you legitimacy -- people will believe it's you. However, does little to nothing in terms of verifying your identity. I think the DEA could have faked it, even if there were st

I suppose it would be more secure for people with good memories or who are using some centralized and secure password management tool. For the majority of users, you've got to figure there's gonna be password re-use.

It's not the car key that I'm worried about people cloning. It's the droves of people who leave their house keys attached to the keyring when they hand it to the valet. Definitely agree about trackability with the app.

You're figuring for 40 items of clothing? Someone might buy 1-3 nice shirts and take good care of them and they'd last a long time, provided they didn't buy a shirt with a trendy design that will be useless next year.

"Parking valets suddenly require a ludicrous level of trust" They always have. It was always possible to take a blank key and just copy it with a file. You could use a softer material to expedite the process and then copy it again
