So, how do you live during the intervening 40 years? If you include the money you are spending to live, does college still come up on the bottom?

You are making two different points here. Natural selection is guidance, but guidance without any will or preconceived notion of good and bad. In this super simple simulated experience, you provide the guidance and depending on your guidanc

Just to be clear, everyone agrees on the advantages of QC and no one disputes that Google has built a quantum computer. Let me try to paraphrase the arguments. 1. QC needs qbits. 1 logical qbit needs many (tens to hundreds) of physical qbit

I do not understand this huge criticism against college board for this. My daughter took 5 AP exams this time and we got multiple remainders from her teachers and AP board that HEIC will not work. Here is the relevant FAQ: <quote> Can

AP stat/ AP Chem/ AP Phys etc are about math formulae and explaining the calculation. I do not want my kids to learn TeX or figure out word formula editor just before the AP exams.

I only have to be meaningful to myself. If I can do that without kids, great.. if kids are what makes it meaningful, great.

In Mumbai, the person working is likely to leave early (say before 7am). The person cooking (typically mom or spouse) gets to lunch later, around 10:30 and it gets delivered. Most Indian food is not great when eaten cold. This also avoids n

It seems to me like you are agreeing with the parent. Amazon increased their risk by closing the phone side and increasing the resources allocated to Alexa and hence the double down.

Language is ambiguous and we are debating between two meanings of empty - nothing there or nothing there, but can be replaced with something else. And we have the added distraction of what nothing means - no physical, permanent “particles”

The answer is in the second part.. Galileo was willing to go deep to find the answers. It is perfectly fine to challenge the status quo and the experts, but do so only if you have spent the time to do the research and have facts to back up

I used to work on mainframe COBOL during the Y2K times. While the language is easy to pick up and the OS specific things are not too hard, the style of programming can lead to issues. Typically, shared data structures are often stored in se

I am always amused by headlines like this. I do not understand why the people expect earth to react to keep humans alive. Earth does what it does. We do what we do and should be willing to face the consequences.

I do not believe it is left-wing or right-wing specific behavior. We are seeing the issue being handled the same way across the world. So, making a political statement does not contribute anything. If you remove the "left-wing", t

I am not too happy with the phrasing "Outside of a company there are two types of meetings; 1) When you want something from someone, 2) When they need something from you." I like to think about my meetings as "1)Am I building

You do understand that php and quite a few other languages provide pre-built serialization and de-serialization from XML, right? The OP was talking about the out of box behaviour for those. Your answer seems to predicate on having written

It looks like a fun programming project..However, I am getting lost as to the purpose. Why write something so hard to comprehend just to get it into ~< 1K unless the only purpose is to get it small? Why not a larger game that is more fun

Maybe I am missing something.. I am curious how this is different from multiple other hosted graphite/grafana solutions. All of them allow for time-series to be stored and retrieved/graphed.

I honestly do not understand this metaphor at all. There are reasons why some of the algorithms are better implemented in a computer. Is there some magic that will allow me to clone myself to try multiple paths in parallel? Maybe I can spee

Ask them for the ticket count metrics - number of tickets, severity and age of open ones. Overly ambitious managers tend to build unstable systems that will break under load. I am going through my second stint at Amazon and I enjoy working

That is incorrect. India changed to product patents about 10 years ago. If you read the article,you would have realized that Gilead licensed the drug for generic production in India and it was not someone "stealing" the IP.

In some mammals like the lions, if a feeding mother lost her baby, she will start ovulating immediately. This allows for the new male to have children without waiting for the existing kids to be weaned which can be as long as a couple of ye

Software already went through the industrial revolution. To take your analogy, the car designers (the ones who work to build the prototype) are all craftsmen. Once the car is designed and we make copies of it, that is the industrial process
