JSON is traditional: dictionaries, arrays. OO languages have built-in syntax to deal with those, via [] and dot notation, and the array objects nowadays have ways to do map() apply() grep() etc. on the collections. The main thing missing i

Another option might be to force paypal to refund money to your customers, and then once re-established, beg your customers to pay you into your new account. I suspect most will do so willingly.

Didn't FreeBSD have some problem with fundraising recently? Apple used FreeBSD to create Darwin, OS X and iOS. Did they end up contributing back?

So which regulations are too onerous? Do you think most of the market wants more speculation, or more stability?

I thought old transactions in the block chain were rolled up into a new block and signed. So old transactions do vanish. Am I wrong or right on that one?

The average joe might have passion for work, but also a family and other responsibilities that preclude extended periods of long workdays. They might not want to get divorced.

I don't see how a shorter work week prevents anyone from working longer, or even less than the minimum. There are plenty of people working more than 40 hours, and plenty working fewer. The only that the 40 sets is the threshold at which wo

FYI, the standard US lunch is 30 minutes and doesn't count toward the 40 hours. It's been this way for a long time.

Technically, that's not a "full time job". It's nearly two full time jobs.

This is why college won't get any cheaper: there will be more value in having a qualified person evaluate not only the test, but all your schoolwork. You can game a test, but it's harder to game a few years of school.

The MBA is a profit center. To see what it costs for poor kids, just look at the undergrad scholarship policy. Odds are, they will get a free ride if they have great grades.

I consider this a farce, but U of W isn't a top tier college, so that's OK. It's a good college. They're really devaluing their regular degree by offering a test-based certification. The future of education isn't in testing. That's not e

How is evaluation "tough" if you have the entire corpus of the student's work in a course? There's less need for testing if you can see all their work. The point of testing is to come up with a simple statistic that sums up someone's know

The pricing is simple. They have a lot of wealthy legacies - students whose parents went to the school - and those kids get in. They also want to get the top talent, and for them, there are scholarships. The model is simple - the massive

With all this online education, the Ivies and a few public ivies are going to be more competitive than ever. They're going to have all the student performance info, and recruit heavily from the best students.

This is true, but there are also kids her age who do read the paper, and it's actually a prime age for pleasure reading. His sister probably isn't going to take up reading or writing for reasons other than necessity. SaMo is not a crappy

Yes, yes. This is true, and I sure know it, but people are different, and the time for learning is also fairly short. You can learn rapidly from your preteen years until you are around 30. That's it. Beyond that you are losing neurons a

That last sentence was hilarious. Weed seeds are in almost all soil. They arrive there on the wind. What constitutes a "weed" is that it's a plant that's not desired in a specific location. What is, and is not, a weed, is entirely conte
