after a quick wikipedia read, it seems the number is as high as 70,000 (although this is across all of europe). insane. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave

i've read that the original Doom code is essentially a work of art, no? (a bit different with regards to watchmaking in terms of art, of course)

OOC, can you explain why the iPad workflow has never worked for those things you mentioned? Seems like one of its core intended designs is taking notes/reading documents much like an actual notebook

I don't think so. Investing (i.e long term investing where you believe in a company) is usually a legitimately safe strategy, whereas speculation is more or less gambling.

Mainly, practice critical thinking. Don't take anything at face value until it has been reconfirmed from many sources. At least that's what I do.

I see the argument. How bout this scenario: We uncover that Hitler (hello Godwin's law) was a master sculptor, absolutely unparalleled. His art speaks volumes, especially to those unbeknownst of its origins. How do you see the art bein

At what point do you conjoin the two? Does the line vary? If a brilliant painter turns out to be a convicted pedophile, for instance, would you still hang their art on your wall? Just curious to hear opinions. I was just wondering about thi

Personally, my biggest issue with interviewing at large companies like these by people whom you aren't necessarily going to be working with, is that not everyone is in a position to interview people. I personally hate interviewing othe

I wouldn't deem my sentence as blaming. But I don't think collaborating with what reads from the article with one person (read: Rajeev) as an ambitious yet confused grad student, for what seemed as years, is the right way to go ab

A great read. Something that stuck with me throughout the article was that the concept of "you can do anything" was almost masked by the fact that he had placed all of his "apples" into one basket--Rajeev. Of course this

There's a difference between reasonable public discourse and incessant trolls spamming, which is what 95% of all vice comments was. Any type of actual argument or discussion were drowned out by a multitude of "ugh another trash ar

fair argument. this was in college, so i had a lot of resources available and very particularly picked curricula so i didn't bump into any of the magic methods until i graduated college and used python in production.

yeah i don't think i fully understand. my first language that got me introduced to programming was python and it taught me all the basics of OOP that were important to really get me going. it's a great language with little magic.

as far as i remember reading somewhere, i think one of the main problems is that we don't really know what Alzheimer's disease is. We know the symptoms and we know what the brain looks like after the disease comes (in an autopsy o

I really think 10,000 for serious exploits like these is just not enough money. Even if OP only spent an hour or two on finding this out (although highly unlikely), they should pay based on seriousness/potential damage of the bug. Grea

thats a good point in the short term sense. but what about the long term procrastinators? how does your theory fit into the aspect of long term goals? Say I want to switch careers and become an actor or something. Obviously I'd want to
