The software is not really doing what the customer wants if it does not work reliably. The company dies because their the product they sell does not do what their customer wants. If you buy a car, you care about the quality if the parts in

Not sure what you mean. I didn't mean to undermine dolphins; they are highly intelligent species and definitely altruistic. The point is simply that they don't save a drowning human because they care about a random drowning mammal

Domestic cats natural habitat is not a 40sqm flat without the possibility to go outdoors. Also, domestic cats were not bred by humans for domestic characteristics but to keep places clean of animals such as mice. Anyways, that's beside

Cats are also very aware of changes on their habitat and are kept in way too small space to express natural behaviour. Most house cats are extremely stressed. You can see this if you even move one bigger object in the house and watch how t

Dolphins don't save humans because of altruistic reasons towards our species. Their own offspring behaves similarly when drowning, and they mistake a drowning human to potentially drowning dolphin.

The worldview described in the comment and by people who upvote is something that I'm not jealous of. But as this is not a moral lecture about gender equality, how important decent childhood is or whether the society would be better wi

Another source for me is things that I want my "ideal self" to do, but I don't enjoy in reality. Like finishing a project. Once you have enough those on list you feel constantly bad and start using procrastination as an easy

"Looking for alternatives" was maybe a bit too much. As far I understood these are built pretty much on the same core? So using the same rule sets should work on Kogito too. We recently moved to micro services and I'd like to

I came across Kogito some days ago as I was looking into some alternatives for our drools based engine. I'd like to build some kind of online editor for business people to manage drm rules easily. How would one go about doing something

Is there some particular reason why this would not pass peer review in some low level journal? Are the statistics off? Or is the data fabricated? Because it will be published and it will pass the peer review if it satisfies those basic cond

I think we actually agree the fundamentals, like most people participating in this thread. I'd say luck is necessary, but is not enough alone. And by maximising the odds you have better chance of winning. By hero ingredient I meant tha

There is an interesting bias going on here. I'm wondering how many people upvoting this text has actually built a business, or just want to believe that what was written here is true? Building a business is messy. Most ideas suck initi

I believe that people tend to forget always one thing: the business owners don't know their problems _worth solving_. This fact is most of the time overlooked. In my experience business owners tend to talk about problems that are impos

Why would USA defend Finland as Finland is not part of NATO? The same way they defended Ukraine as Russia occupied Crimea and invaded East Ukraine?

It has been roughly 2 years for us to get first dollar with corporations, and will probably take 3 more to recoup the costs. The good thing is that once you get in, it is pretty hard for competitors to get you out. They really need to have

Had to check again, visa and Mastercard actually don't carry the risk in this scenario. It's either the acquirer or issuer. Scheme acts as a judge and decides who's fault it is. However, now that 3d secure is in place, if bot

Not sure about US, but this definitely does not apply in the EU. The banks are responsible. Also, the PSD2, which just came into effect here sets standards on person identification, which every financial institution needs to comply. Of cour

Visa and Mastercard are card schemes. They are just moving the money between financial institutions. The issuer (which is the financial institution from where the credit card was applied from) is providing the credit line=they own the money

Nothing new here really. Propaganda is as old as human communication. Finding new ways to distribute misinformation is the human norm. Afaik Facebook has also been praised for things like Egypt spring (not sure if good actually), Barack Oba

This makes sense. I'm all in for having fewer people, but if we could reach the same welfare with 1% of resources we use now, we could easily 100x the human population. Even if the planet is finite, there is loads of room for more peop

It is very interesting to find discussion on this. We have actually a group of friends who are all kinda connected with this same issue more or less. We have only recently started to discuss it; framing it "lazy smart" people. Par

Finland. You can get a cheap flat from the municipality(at least in the city of Espoo), then rent assistance from the state, and then you visit the welfare office (Kela) sometimes and tell that you are out of money, and they'll give y

"heating is usually gas or heavy fuel ois" is actually false. In fact, over 60% of heating in Finland was produced with renewable energy. Majority of the industrial and district heating is produced with wood and other industrial w
