voting, which is presumably the cornerstone of the society, is done by this same mass of people, and results in electing people with the most deadly powers in the world, among other things.

So much bitterness here in the comments like "duh", "took them long enough", etc. So, honest question: if, you know, a pillar of democracy is by default laughed at, how can then this democracy function? If half the count

Australia is $$$$$ so for all purposes it falls into the same category as US for what I'm talking about. In fact, it's even more of an illustration for what i'm trying to say. Let's assume all remote hurdles have been li

So... why can't a "good team" be assembled somewhere else that's 10x cheaper? Just like what happened to manufacturing, the Chinese and other nations actually turned out to have good - enough - teams to take a good chunk

it was a huge hit to the gut. the kids were sitting at home for like a year+. crappy zoom non-classes where everyone falls asleep. at my local high school even the newly built sports field was shut down and fenced off for the whole year. wh

yes. Presumably, a human language intro/description should be present in the repo, but in this case they dive straight into yaml.

what does that even mean? if you make over 200k a year in a busted market, then you are worthy of sympathy?

sure. a Manteca property is still less desirable than SF or a peninsula one, even though sfba is not dense by any means. That's not my fault.

you can look up some links to back up your claim that this Bozeman movement is from rural places, but I really doubt that's the case for this one.

it sounds plausible, I lived there and visit every once in a while. there is an influx of people for sure (just go check Wikipedia population numbers, esp. for towns mentioned) and it has nothing to do with the regents (and I don't t

Just drove down US-50 in Tahoe this morning in all the snow, and a good portion of road signs is out of whack: 55mph limit signs are a joke when you have the mandatory chains on, 35mph yellow signs are a joke in the summer, seems like they

there is nothing wrong with saying that. With all the things that must be done in adult life, learning a language is a luxury akin to getting a rare delicate plant or something. Maybe the person saying this will actually follow through when

they don't, because stuff like this does not exist. Unless you are outright stealing like that convicted uber/google guy, or building a direct competitor, nobody cares what you do, at least in the location of the TFA.

At least they had more of the native population survive. and in some countries there it's up to almost 50% of the total.

FB works when you don't have a strong need to target specific keywords. If you do, there is really no substitute no matter how ugly the UI (maybe that's why it's ugly, too)

yup. People make it sound like it's impossible to predict the market. On the other hand, what is the logic in overhiring - we expect search revenue (bulk of the revenue) to spike in the next few years, so we will hire 50,000 more engin

haha my favorite one is retargeting on things i already bought. Like Columbia pants hounding me for weeks on every website after i already bought them.
