   exactly. I would personally never trust an Uber self-driving car, specifically because I've lost trust in the company itself.

   I'd say that miles driven is a good normalizer. In fact, NHTSA statistics includes miles driven under adverse conditions (rain, snow, etc) while I'd bet that this is not the case for Uber.

   When Stamos left Yahoo, I assumed it was because of the leaked accounts information. I wonder if he saw similar compromises at Facebook that were not disclosed.

   I am either an evil person for paying my rent, drinking coffee, eating a salad and reading wikipedia on my phone while dressed, or you are a moron.

   Different user agents are used for desktop vs mobile pages for the same browser, so a single user agent is not a viable solution now.

   Nice and clean! I wonder if it requires a lot of tweaking to make it work with letter (it might be as trivial as changing ``paper=a4'' in the cls.) If so, it might be worth the author's time to generalize it.

   It is not a political view to support that women are inferior, wrt tech, at Google. Whether he may be a conservative or liberal is irrelevant to me and to the discussion.

   Damore wasn't fired because he is a conservative. He was fired because he thinks women are inferior wrt tech and was very vocal about it.

    You are discounting the effort required to find the position of these few lines of code among what I assume are many thousands.

    Uber has bad connotations in my head. To be honest, I'd rather Google didn't hold a stake at it.

    I don't think I've come across any report that states that other crime has increased in EPA. What is your source ? Incidentally, I think that declining crime rates are, among other things, also a sign of a ``clean'', eff

    At the risk of oversimplifying, I believe increasing crime rate is a good proxy for police corruption. As an example, East Palo Alto in CA was the crime capital of the country back in the 90s. Then a police force that included parties from

    I believe the phrase ``reinventing the wheel'' emphasizes the difficulty of optimizing something that is fundamental, widely used, and has been tackled by armies of engineers.

    There are definitely somewhat mature DIY alternatives such as LitePlacer [1] and there is ongoing effort towards an open-source software stack for PnP machines [2], but for this area to really pick up, sub-$500 kits are probably necessary.

    For completeness: The number of possible sets that include 4 numbers from the range [0..15] is (16+4-1) choose 4, or 3876. Let's assume that our set is (a, b, c, d). It is ordered, therefore a <= b <= c <= d. For example, a va

    The title is deceptive. It should state that the goal is to store a set of four 5-bit values.

    I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. For instance, Erdos would say that, for him, the Graham number is just 1.

    Using CGI is silly and slow, for all but the simplest, stateless servers. If one wishes to avoid the overhead of learning a new framework, at least FastCGI should be considered. A relevant (but dated) discussion about web frameworks in C++

    I have no opinion about the quality of this book, but just by looking at the contents, it has almost nothing to do with computer science. It doesn't deal with computing models, theory, algorithms, automata, or anything you'd expec

    If anything, this video showcases the importance of doing proper bibliographic research before working on a new problem. SISC (single instruction set computer) or OISC (One Instruction Set Computer) have been in Hennessy and Patterson for d

    Are there any 200+ PE readers here ? If so, how long did it take you to reach you level and what was the most challenging problem you solved ?
