“Exploratory talks” “...due to be discussed” Good luck! Hope to drive one soon. But talk to me when they’ve pushed the first one off the line.

Blame definitely on the docs (liability). That being said, most new obgyns are women. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Not relevant. You simply don’t want to work for a company that will fire you for code guideline violations. You know why? Cause code guidelines can be scripted into the tool chain. So, irrelevant except to the pointy headed fools you absolu

There isn’t a country on earth that would actually allow Russia to park an actual nuclear bomb off their coast. Even the ones aligned with Russia. Oh, how do you build a sarcophagus on a sunk nuclear reactor?

How long before some valley city council mandates public transport and outlaws private company transport like the Google bus. Because, you know, for the greater good!

When you can afford to buy naming rights to a hospital I'll register your opinion. Until then, although everyone is free to express an opinion, I'll file yours under ungrateful jealousy.

Zuck rolls around in it every time he drinks a free latte or gets hauled in front of Congress. Dithering about how "real" it actually is is left to the plebs like you and me. It's as real as anything else in this world.

Physicians, and others, pay for their medical education in the US. How do physicians pay for their education in other countries or is it paid for them by their governments?

To say that outsourcing manufacturing was a good thing for anyone other than banksters is to say the sun shines out of my ass. And this is exactly what the US has allowed to happen over the course of decades. When manufacturing goes so too

These boards should all take a field trip to places like NYC and Tokyo where the buildings are tall and the density is high. I have no sympathy for these self inflicted wounds.

That’s not how email works. That’s not how any of this works.

I'd like to consider the general atrophy on a macro scale of the manufacturing capabilities in the US. My theory is that because we outsourced the making of so many things to so many other places (China), we generally lost the skills n

If they are using some sort of middleware orm, which they may well be because of their model, they are most likely using an EAV[0] schema which, although flexible for writes, is horrendous for reads. The join plus pivot is a disaster on vir

Meh. Down vote me all you like but... I don't really understand the outrage. If you're not paying, you're the product. It's fairly obvious. All your data belong to them and they can basically do whatever they want with i

Clearly you're very good at what you do. Speak to the folks at your company and help them help you make the situation better. Stay at your job. Especially if you have people depending on you like a spouse, kids or parents. Hold out lon

Call me naive but I read the article as consequences of acute human expansion. Virtually every example was followed by explanations along the lines of “man made canals, irrigation, mining...” I really think technology and better civil plann

The veracity of any analyses is directly correlated to the quality of the input. I have no doubt that Google's methods are state of the art. My concern is with the input those methods were fed. Sample size needs to be much, much larger

This. Exactly this. I’ve been an investor in BTC and trading crypto on multiple exchanges for years. BTC is -the- reserve currency of crypto. It is the currency all other crypto is denominated in. BTC will exist long after many of the ancho

And so did google and Facebook and amazon. But the trick is that as an employee you had to be there relatively early on (within a few years) or you missed the boat. If you join one of these places now you’ll get a good salary and bonuses an

Who is the "trusted third party", the arbiter of such disputes? Is it the government that relies on civil forfeiture laws to keep the lights on in many local municipalities? Which government? The US? EU? China? Russia? Best you ca

Coinbase being unavailable during times of extreme volatility is not a new thing. Today's swing was 14k up to 19k then down to 15k or so over a period of an hour of severely degraded access. I'll go out on a limb and say that much

Right, I was gonna say that Coinbase is currently the best way to buy and sell coins today. I can say that as I have accounts on a number of exchanges. Still, Coinbase does not let you know that they also operate GDAX.com, where you can &qu

I appreciate everything you just said and agree that this could work well for some people. On the other hand, reading it through the eyes of the 99% of people I know who can barely check their email, everything you said may as well be writt
