   First reason is to minimize error rather compound it. Second reason is to avoid overloading the user with information. I do expect that the set of queries prepared for a user will be large and possibly imperfectly ranked, at least initially

   Use this as a negotiation exercise. If you do, first things first. Know your best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA). Try to factor in the opportunity cost, i.e. what else you can be doing with your time if you do not take the jo

   I would say do not use flags unless you don't mind being dragged into world politics :-) I can give you the example of Arabic that is the national language across 22 countries. Which flag would you choose there? The thing is flags come load

   Well said. Microsoft dethroned IBM with "if we did PCs, [most] people wouldn't need to do mainframes". Ditto Google to Microsoft with "if we did search & cloud, [most] people wouldn't need to do OS". For someone to "beat" Google the the

    Thanks. The plug-in description (which includes RBAC) looks like it might be useful. I did toy with rails while trying to choosing a framework over the past two months - but chose to develop using Django. Is there an equivalent based on Dja

    Thanks for the tip. The question is broad because I am looking for guidance how to even get started tackling the problem. The application will allow buyers to complex RFPs online & sellers to respond to them - a collaboration. I will ne

    I agree. To elaborate:- A given duration of time pales away in comparison to one’s age as he/she grows older. For example, a 20-year-old sees a decade as half a lifetime. For the 100 year-old it counts as just 10%.
