I think the closest meaning would be more in line with a quote I've heard attributed to Mark Twain: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two fro

Per wikipedia, pure diesel is moderate size hydrocarbon chains. Everything else is impurities... so burning pure diesel in a 100% oxygen environment would yield water and COn gases. Of course, the rest of the world introduces different com

Unless you are asserting that estate taxes are 100% for everyone and no one is allowed any hint of nepotism or gifting, you are wrong. How do the 1% stay the 1% across generations?

Not claiming to be exceptional, just noting that a perspective I developed seems less common than I expected... I think I've just had a cognitive bias of my own revealed, and found a source of confusion in conversation... I guess I&#x2

The minus option did once filter out results with that word, and could be amazingly helpful to find less used meanings of primary search terms. But it did go away about the same time as the + operator.

Do I remember correctly that fully burned pure diesel yields water and CO2? Soot is usually partially burned fuel plus a percentage of contaminants?

And everyone required to sit through the mandatory class will be zoned out and not even absorb the facts that aren't in the 10 question quiz at the end of the section.

And none of those someones were likely the same person, nor can it be proven that they ever communicated. Welcome to government contracting. When I was in my sea tour, my SO hated when I said "Designed by the lowest bidder, built by th

A bit on the snarky side I realize, but someone at Facebook has probably already dug into this. Whether or not they'll admit it or discuss it publicly is far less likely.

That is one of the most draining things I've heard recently. Sigh. Are these open projects where someone could in principle improve them?

Greed, incompetence, greed, a culture inured to fraud if at all possible, and greed. With a liberal dose of "even if we have to pay up it'll never make a dent in the revenue stream, so who gives a rat-f *?"

Never worked with professional-in-other-field types? Nothing is ever 100% specified, either initially or at any moment going forward. Best you can do is pick highlights from the stream of desires and try to code to those, and expect to ge

Except that AMP pages are often in the band of promoted results that show above the remainder of the search results, at least in the mobile app. And are prominently icon'ed in the desktop results. So yeah, Google's not honest abo

"But Amazon is barely hiding its goal: It wants to be the operating system for your home." Why engineer a delivery solution when you can convince some people to give up even more control and access?

I think we can generalize the last two comments to: when you look at a problem, learn about it, it's structure, until you think you can resolve part of it. Keep repeating that until you get there. Assume that what everyone knows is go

Implement this by having the already built search provider list, with none selected at install. On the first address/search bar use, prompt the user. (Choose or add your own as currently available...) I like it.

Not so many, really... Look at the TV/radio/news markets and see how many voices there are. And the FCC loosening rules to let Sinclair etc own a higher percentage of sources in each market is only letting it get worse.

I think I'm getting tired of the word "shareholder" most of all.... if companies make all these greed-driven decisions because of them, let's do away with holding shares. (Lots of further thought to be had there.)
