Colleges seeing a decrease in enrollment and "no one will want to go" are completely different things. If colleges are worried about it they probably have some market research to back up their worrying. Whether it will end up bein

Given that most restaurants fail rather quickly you would be hard pressed to make the claim that the owners are stealing all the money.

Google can't collect my information if I don't give it to them. They can't install splitters at major NAPs, demand that Microsoft give them their data on my or use it to prosecute me. If they engaged in a campaign against the

Actually the radiologists job has proved difficult to either move overseas (requires US credentials) or automate (CAD still generates a ton of false positives). A radiologist still makes a considerable salary and is the R in the ROAD to suc

With Linux my using it imposes a cost no different on those that develop it than not using it other than the bandwidth of the person I download it from.

To understand if this is feasible I think we would need to answer a few basic questions: 1. Given that we have a plethora of wealth transfers in place why have they not lead to a decrease in poverty? The "Great Society" was introd

Lets not forget that many NSA "employees" are actually contractors from companies like Booz Allen Hamilton. Also Palantir doesn't seem to be hurting finding people to build surveillance technology.

Thats why most people plead guilty and don't go to court.

It is usually ruled that the plaintiffs can't prove standing, meaning they can't prove they were harmed by the behavior. And of course one would probably need access to their raw data to prove standing, so its unlikely that the co

With SSLv3 you can prevent MITM attacks as well as replay attacks where the cert is compromised in the future. The SSL cert is used to verify the identity of the server. Once the handshake is completed a symmetric key is chosen for the sess

I figure that the NSA will simply subpoena the private SSL certs with a gag order. That gives the companies involved plausible deniability since XKeyScore (and XKeyScore whatever is next) can just record all the raw internet traffic. I don&

He is saying its a fundamentally different business. A higher number of SKUs necessitates a much larger space and lower per employee productivity. A Trader Joes customer is willing to pay for customer service and a Walmart customer is not.

Well I don't claim to understand the mathematical basis of Monads, and I don't use arrows and just started using applicative more often. Lenses rock and I have used those for a long time. I do build my own Monad Transformers so ma

Well while I can produce large swaths of elegant code when I need crazy instances I usually call upon my colleague for his invaluable assistance. I don't claim to be an expert in the language. Many people know much more about it than m

As an intermediate haskeller (I use it for my business every day) his criticisms largely mirror mine. I found the quake codebase to be great in the 90s. I have also found him more than most other developers to admit when thing didn't w

The "Banks" probably don't stand to lose much money. Pension funds and private investors stand to lose money. Also as tax payers we would all pay assuming that at least some percentage of loans are held by Fannie and Freddie.

1. Nonissue in real life. 3. Don't modify parameters. It makes code easier to test in any language. 5. GHC may as well be the standard. Are you really going to use a different compiler.
