  1. Re:When History Works Against You on Unpaid Internships Lead To Lower-Paying Jobs, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    And how do you check if the candidate isn't exaggerating his past earnings? You want access to his bank account or what?

  2. Re:Willing to work for Free on Unpaid Internships Lead To Lower-Paying Jobs, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I've never seen it. I sometimes get asked by an employer what I earned in my last job, and most recruitment agencies give you the advice to exaggerate a bit. I've once been at a place they asked for my formal salary specification but that's extremely unusual.

    If you want web pages to load faster, use an adblocker. Ads are the worst reason of slow loading.

    Yes, even Trump and Hillary are alowed to give their opinion about quantum chromodynamics or wether goto's are bad or if all methods should only have one exit point. However, that does not mean anyone would give them any value.

  5. Yes, you have the XXY cases. They have a defective genome, I'm sorry for them but there is nothing I can do to help it.

  6. Yeah, if anything it's a "he". It has Y chromosomes, which makes it a "he" but after al this operations it is totally unclear how to classify it so "it" is correct, as indicating unknown.

    Although I do think that Manning did a good job for the people in releasing that video.

    Modern sensibilities? By not giving in to people with a mental disorder and not allowing them to enter the army, have their operations paid for by tax money instead of trying to fix their brain issue?

  8. Why would I want Netflix if thepiratebay.org has everything I want without the hassle of streaming and artificial limitations?

    Humans are extremely good at dealing with change. Compare it with other animals, they often just die out. However, the current rate of change is chalenging even to the most adaptable humans, so there will always be those who can't cope with this rate.

  10. Indeed. The Chinese government is much more tolerant to Uygurs than the American government was to the southern states during their civil war, which the north started.

  11. I think the first statement contradicts the second.

  12. The first statement does not rule out the second. Both can be true.

  13. It's really weapon research on Google Enters Race For Nuclear Fusion Technology (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Inertial fusion attempts will never be able to compete against tokamak or stellarator designs. This type of experiments delivers knowledge that is mostly usefull for nuclear weapons, so it's no wonder nthat this type of fusion research is the dominant one in the US.

    Aparently he didn't seem capable of hiring sysadmins who are thinking about making things possible instead of trying to prevent others from doing their jiob to remain their position of power.

  15. In continental Europe,creditcards are not even accepted in many shops because of this. Or you have to pay extra when you use a credit card. Not in international hotels and large retailers, but in smaller shops you often can't use them here.

  16. I suddenly saw that my favorite simple calculator app was bought by some (Austrian I think) company who added some caller ID spyware in it. Fortunately I kept the apk of an older version around. When I reaearched I found out this shit company (Appsbuyout) does this with more apps.

    It seems so. I was under the impression that Hillary lost the election, and now you say she won?

  19. > As a consequence kids getting access to all the content without the parent's consent and that where the problem is.

    The problem is control freaks parents that get out of control? Good, technology leads to more freedom here.

    No, it's something about the use of underscores. No idea what's the problem, and since that's not mine code but someone else's I can't change it at will.

    Not for Android development (although C++ can be usefull there too for use in libraries). But there Java 7 is the norm, when I use 8 it works but Android Studio keeps complaining about deprecated stuff in existing code. So I'm not even going to install 9, seems like a lot of work with no gain.

    So they are largely to blame for the fact that many people don't wear decent shoes anymore and only wear training shoes?

  25. > If the people don't like it, they can send Merkel and Maas packing in the upcoming federal election.

    The problem is that Schultz (the leader of the other karge party in Germany, which is still a more or less 2-party state which is strange for a country that does not have a district voting system) is even worse in this regard, and the AfD is considered too radical by most Germans. Somehow the FDP (liberal party - liberal as in economic freedom, not the strange definition Americans use for it) seems unable to gain from this but my knowledge of German politics is too limited to understand why.
