There might be expenses, but I would also be hesitant to let a site run without a human being able to monitor it, respond to any alerts, apply security patches, etc.

I have never worked at a company that used that phrase in a straight faced fashion. Silicon Valley encompasses a lot more than consumer driven tech startups. It includes old standard companies like National Semiconductor, Nvidia, AMD, Int

There's lots of fun stuff you can do in Eve, but partaking in huge battles is not one of them. Reading about them is way more fun. You can sit around waiting for hours for the battle to start, then IF it starts it's not much mor

Yeah, if someone hacks my phone/account, then they will have access to my location. If that happens them having my location ranks pretty low on my list of concerns. The recommendation that you could disable GPS is pointless because if

I view it this way: being smart and hard working is necessary but not sufficient to achieve the success they have. There are plenty of very smart and hard working people that are also dirt poor due to various circumstances. Maybe they ha

Part of why I like working at smaller companies that focus on serving small-medium sized businesses. At this level you are actually building a piece of software for users rather the C-suite.

I've used both macbooks and linux and have never noticed a difference, so I have no clue what sort of impact I'm supposed to be noticing.

But what if he wanted to turn it into a AAA FPS game with RTS elements in a persistent online world that supports millions of simultaneous users?

Sure. More $ = better. However, this sort of attitude is also why small and medium sized businesses will always exist.

I did my first 2 semesters in community college then transferred to a CSU (California State University), and my experience with the teachers were roughly similar. But CSUs don't focus as much on research so maybe that is part of why.

This made me curious so I checked our local library that has study and meeting rooms. But looking at their online calendar, they're all reserved for most of the day. At least it's nice to know people are using our library.

It obviously depends on the kid, but they tend to sleep longer than adults anyways. Our 1 year olds sleep around 11-13 hours overnight. Our 4 year old sleeps around 11 hours overnight.

Not true, because people actually hate insurance companies. The best propaganda is by the hospitals because no one ever seems to complain much about them. There's been a lot of revealing reporting over the past decade but people don&#

This advice always struck me as funny, because an ORM will select every column in a table too, even ones you aren't going to use. So the corollary to this is: never use an ORM. One would catch a lot of debate (never use an ORM), the o

Your calculations ignore property taxes and any other tax based upon the value of your house. Your rates also seem off. http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/pmms30.html claims the average rate in 1999 was 7.44% and in 2018

When it comes to subsidies, I think you would have to quantify a "local economy" as the economy local to the government entity giving the subsidy. The article about WrestleMania is probably only talking about the economy within a

If you don't want people going 35mph down the street, maybe the speed limit shouldn't be 35mph. Edit: I hate vague traffic signs. "Reduce speed". Ok, I was going 30, now I'm going 20. Is that good enough?

So you've found a quality apps by only finding it via the app store? It just sounds odd to me because I literally never have. The only way I've found them is by researching it on the web beforehand.

Cars in Norway have a CO2 tax. But EVs get breaks on things not related to CO2 in Norway. According to Tesla's website, you don't have to pay VAT. https://www.tesla.com/no_NO/support/incentives?redirect

Yeah, between smaller households and new houses being built being on average larger, the trend certainly is that we are getting more square feet for less people. I just think the article does a lot of things with the numbers that are quest
