How about if they pay 10X average wage for the position? Sure the the person will make more than professors but would there still be no one willing to train and committee?

Basically the lack of straight SQL support. "SQL-Like" means you end up calling their custom API functions and having to understand its unique API semantics in sufficient depth to build your persistence layer. Life would be so mu

Google app engine is my go to for web apps that need to be used in production at a small scale while I'm still evolving the functionality. What you prototype transfers into prod surprisingly well. The best part is I don't really h

It's interesting that this line of peace even seems to be believed which shows the triumph of propaganda. Millitary in all ages has always existed to either further or protect the economic interests of the people in power.

This forum in general values substantive comments like the second comment the OP made and doesn't value snarky one liners like the first one. That's the trade off for the value folks get from this forum. Other forums may have diff

Nope. FB has their own models. They used to allow DLX to sync and provide their audiences too but discontinued now.

While this may seem heretical to many, why not consider SVG or HTML5 canvas? Widely supported, Ultra portable and very readable code unless you are looking for stuff that needs fancy acceleration.

Irrespective of who gets to keep the fine money, it will cost money and time (and likely lawyers) to handle any regulator inquiries. These complaints barely a day after the law came into force clearly shows that this law has come as a bona

I'll try to answer. The law doesn't actually say that you can sue only after complaint resolution through authorities have failed. That is merely expected practice and assumptions. Potentially facing a frivolous lawsuit in Europe

Isn't all this just reinventing Hadoop and MapReduce in C++ instead of Java?

Not as per the law. The law explicitly states that option for judicial remedy exists. The article is the opinion of a lawyer based on current practice, but this is not what the law actually says.

Or just go out and buy a ThinkPad and slap Bionic onto it. A recent ThinkPad running Bionic has objectively been the best computing experience I have ever had.

This is incorrect. WhatsApp encryption keys are managed on server and hence can be MITMed on state warrants quite easily by WhatsApp unless you are very careful to follow key changes and verify keys physically - and even then how would you

One thing I discovered about the lock screen that's mentioned as a problem here is that you can just type your password and enter to login after a suspend and it will work.... No need to swipe or whatever.

While the reducing pollution piece is captured here, interestingly the reducing oil imports dependency is not captured in the article which I would imagine is equally important here.

Heating and cooling needs are fairly inelastic temporally. Your house is going to get cold in winter and hot in summer. You'll need to consume energy for this which is largely during the evening when everyone returns from work as you h

Yes. This is retargeting based on a cross device graph and this experience illustrates ad tech trade-off. We're those ads in a logged-in ad platform like Facebook or were they generic display stuff?

The point of public political hearings is PR. To help legislators show voters that they care about whatever crisis is top of news. Information seeking and legislation writing happens in closed door negotiations with lobbyists and lawyers.
