Lawyers are often known assholes, and in most cases have fun pretty much exclusively at other's expense. I hope their jobs aren't fun, because when it is, it can be deeply disturbing. Doctors can assuredly have fun in responsible

Seriously, way better the quora link. Some proven to me through direct first-hand experience. Especially level 2's last bullet point (keep your eyes and ears open), which reminds me of this: http://steveblank.com/2009&#

Pathetic human frailty has nothing to do with the validity of syntax. The machines will do as we say, for the most part. Don't be an ass, and don't whine about bullshit like extra curly braces and semi-colons. Know your memory map

And it's funny you should mention Sun Microsystems, because this is the influence behind Java's endian-ness, and subsequently Dalvik (mentioned below in another comment), which happens to be... you guessed it... big endian. So the

This photography isn't really about "photons" or any amount of energy measurements of radiation emission at the subatomic scale. This is more about capturing macro-scale events at very precise time scales and exceedingly high

...and the funny thing is that the majority of Manhattan's residential real estate is, in fact, a mess of ugly, uncomfortable five-story buildings (at ridiculous prices). I'd estimate that less than 5% of Manhattan's resident

There's an odd mix of people in possession of downvote powers, and not all of them are particularly discerning in their use of the downvote button. I think a lot of people past the 500 point mark got their because of one lucky submissi

The hygienists listen to music although this week they've been on a Celine Dione kick which requires its own coping strategy. Ebola and Celine Dion? Christ. No one should ever have to go through that.

Not true. An employee can adhere to a company policy without understanding the reason a given policy exists. It's certainly possible to carry out orders, and adhere to a script, with unquestioning obedience.

Sorry, Alec. I'm not buying into the whole customer service corporate doublespeak routine. Your words sound like those of an uninformed pawn, a tool implemented by nobility, a means to an end.

From paragraph #10: Could corals and humans have evolved our TNF families independently? It’s unlikely, given how compatible the two proteins are. But no further detail is given.

Google should be employing a strategy of invisible control Uh, no thanks. I'm not interested in being controlled by anyone, and I chafe at the idea of any corporate strategy that attempts to do so.

I believe it's practical to maintain an awareness that the bar is as absurdly low as it seems to be, and that well-developed deception may become the norm when interacting with online entities. Do I believe that it's intelligent?

But developers are stumbling on a new kind of obstacle as they burrow deeper still: abandoned diggers from the last round of improvements. I say we dust off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

A mistrial is a trial that occured, but was fraught with mistakes. And regardless of the common parlance, or the tendency of usage, disinformation still draws its latin prefix from absence or denial, misinformation draws its latin prefix fr

Look at the root prefixes, and compare with similar words. Example: Disrespect. Respect is immutable, you either have it or you don't. It's either provided or absent, but does not manifest itself in malignant forms. Example: Mistr

No. You've got it backwards. Disinformation is prevention of awareness (not informed at all). Misinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately (informed with mistakes). ...but I see what you d

If you decide to spend 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, parked in the parking lot of a gas station, revving your car's engine to redline, is the gas station going to feel guilty about charging you for all that gas?

The thing that bothers me is that, once you have the helium, it's not like it's a chore to maintain the stockpile. How much does it cost to hermetically seal a noble gas inside a durable container, and stow it in a warehouse?
