I tried a few years ago, but I have not solved the problem of quickly finding something that I might have written a few weeks/months ago. And you can't reorder/update quickly your items every week either. Any tips on that ? I

I think you are on to something. If you are "savy" internet user, you probably hang a bit longer on the desktop than the average population because you are also a power user. If you are a "casual" internet user, mainly c

I think one of the main point is reactivity, or response time. If something goes wrong, you can simply say "Hey Matthew something's not right on the production server, can you come over here?" rather than trying to reach you

Nothing on the merit of the article, but the actual name of the publisher is "Hachette", not "Hatchette". The title looks like a hatchet job currently...

You're right on all counts, however Google employees are most likely not low wages worker, and do not have complex and long shifts as hospital workers. I don't think that giving them more free time to recharge/replenish their

And there is still someone else pressing charge, isn't it ? I don't think the headline makes any sense.

The Wikipedia article mentions further study showing that in some important disability cases, yes, indeed, the "happiness baseline" could move. > In his archival data analysis, Lucas found evidence that it is possible for someo

This is an example of the Hedonic Treadmill [0]. At first glance, winning the lottery should increase your happiness compared to becoming paraplegic but after a few months the happiness level seems to go back to the baseline in both case an

I enjoyed Kippt has a way to record interesting articles for later use, but I never was really interested by the social aspect. My interests were pretty random and I am not sure it would benefit anyone if it was public or shared.

I used to be afraid of Peak Oil, but it seems we are willing to burn whatever we can find, and it would be a slow death, so now I would say it would be a Carrington type event (apparently we were really close to another one in July 2012) fo

When you ask a "what is better" question, you have to provide your personal metrics : money, happiness, mobility, weekly hours, technical challenge, industry, purpose, etc. An universal "better" does not really exist.

I think it is voluntarily self-depreciating, and exaggerated, but it is impressive that the author acknowledges that his success is only due to the fact that he knew Jeff Bezos at the right time (and some insight).

I agree mostly for the same reasons. I also think it is a pretty pessimistic view on humanity that this ruling will overwhelmingly used for "evil" and not for "good". I'd rather let a few people go undetected, than

Yes, and the government has teeth because it is backed by its citizens. You could probably argue that the main force from governments comes from police and other armed force, but this is not what found their legitimacy. And most people in E

It is true that if you consider Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the situation has much improved since then.

Maybe you're right, but terrorism has really no clear cut definition. I am pretty sure I have never heard a suicide bomber detonating in a military base being described otherwise than "terrorist".

by seren 12y ago
What I find really odd is how similar a drone strike is to a terrorist attack. A military convoy is being attacked by a remotely controlled IED, you can retaliate by sending a drone to blow up some pre-defined target. Maybe it is a fitting

I would add a point to the ecosystem: the availability of developers in your area. If you want to develop a new product based on X, but you can't even assemble a team, you are going to have a hard time. This is a big contributor to the

You don't even need to have access to the content of the mail, the meta data are more than enough to find out if you've called a known drug dealer, went to an abortion clinic, used an escort service... It is more than enough to

I don't really care either for Mickey Mouse specifically. But somehow, I think it is impoverishing what's is added to global culture, and in the long term is self-defeating. Look at the very bottom of this article, the graph about

But this ruling will create a precedent that will make it harder to justify, that Sherlock Holmes entered the domain public and Mickey Mouse should not, although I am pretty sure that Walt Disney's lawyers are already carefully prepari

Fortunately, the estate appeal was rejected. If adding any new (short) story can make a character "more rounded", it is basically a very cheap way to extend the copyrights ad vitam aeternam .

Which would be very fitting for a moon named after a ferryman of the Underworld.

The first advice works because by being candid and genuine, you are willing to make yourself vulnerable, and it means implicitly that you the trust the person you are talking to. And it will be easier for the other person to open up as well

Then in C, *(p+10) would reference array[11], which would probably cause its own kind of error and misunderstanding. The only winning move is not to play? I don't think it would make any difference.

It is possible a single engineer was negligent or even malicious, but I would rather believe the whole organization was at the very least encouraging a culture of "do whatever to be ready at the end of the quarter and I don't want
