Arrogance is irrelevant to business efficiency. I had all my code reviewed for the past 3 years. 98% of the comments were vapid style conformance, whitespace issues. 1% were just stupid. 1% were useful. The cost-effectiveness of mandatory code-review is very poor. If the same time were spent on automating tests, it would have added real, lasting, incremental value to the project.
With an unlimited budget, you can generate sock puppets with infinite reputation. Unless the web of trust is rooted soundly, it can be rotten from the root.
This is the same rationale that has turned firefox into a bloated unusable memory hog, and created a problem so big that according to Johnny Stenback the problem is too big for anyone to fix. People have been complaining incessantly about firefox's memory hogging and how it turned their compuiters into unusable paper weights for a decade, and this "rationale" has been trotted out every time. That's why everyone switches to Chrome or Opera eventually.
In fact, Revere’s own account of the ride in a 1798 letter seems to back up Palin’s claim. Revere describes how after his capture by British officers, he warned them “there would be five hundred Americans there in a short time for I had alarmed the Country all the way up.”
This is nonsense. a) Chinese people are not less human than you are -- actually many are more so. b) You conveniently omit to mention those who die from respiratory and carcinogenic effects of burning hydrocarbons. These deaths number in the millions.
Still safer than coal. It's exactly like air travel versus car travel. Car travel is more familiar and the damages from accidents are more sparsely distributed, so it is less feared, while in fact air travel is vastly safer by any reasonable measure. Sensational media coverage and uncritical audience politics are killing us.
Wrong. It's not an argument, it's an observation. It may imply an argument, but implying an argument is typically just a ploy to avoid holding a weak argument up for refutation.
Another observation: For every life lost due to Fukushima, there are literally hundreds of lives saved because coal was not burned. The real Fukushima disaster would have been if the plant were never built and operated.
my experience has been that telecommuters fall into 3 categories: 20% are bums, and need to be fired. 5% are typical workers who like the flexibility. 75% are insanely ambitious and should be paid more, not less, because the time saved commuting goes directly into productivity, plus they never have to stop working, so they put in way more than full days.
Then we can infer that lazy brains don't like it, but ambitious brains do. Unless their ambition is to work less. I think my brain's ambition is to be a liver one day.
If a brain was happy in a forest and no one heard, would it clap?
The app is the facility to fulfill a function for the user, not the specific implementation of that facility. A computer application is a system which employs one or more computers to solve a problem or provide a service for its end users. That system can be anything. Whatever it is, that is the implementation of the application.
Apophis is a great opportunity to put an asteroid in orbit. The technology would allow us to put high-value mining resources in easy reach of orbital platforms. The result would be vast mineral resources available for engineering works, without costly launch fuel requirements.
Chaotic systems are much more usefully simulated than non-chaotic systems. Non-chaotic systems can be usefully described with pen and paper, while chaotic ones require substantial computation in order to usefully simulate. A good example is weather modelling. Another is biological modelling. Another is lattice QCD. Another is fluid dynamics. All of these models of chaotic systems produce highly useful results which cannot be obtained without substantial numerical computation. It seems your argument achieves the opposite of your conclusion.

in chinatown flushing in new york i've seen communist loyalists and falun gong types get into physical fights on the street.
When I was in high school we referred to dope as "math". I'd tell my mom we were going to Tishie's house to do our math.

I use visa, mastercard or amex for most of my drugs. My vendors don't take paypal.
Definitely time for a war on discretion.
"Don't try to hack around problems at the wrong layers"
When you say "don't worry about fine-tuning what's "in memory"' you demonstrate that the layer in which the problem resides is your mind.

Given that there are 1.86e46 planck time per second, they might not make it to Thursday. And that's assuming no version skips.

Andrea Rossi is burning nickel and protons on an industrial scale in Greece right now.
Never mind the millions of people permanently displaced or killed in wars over oil.

If you can find an Indian who does what I do, you should go into professional recruiting. i don't think you can outsource innovation.

brain cancer has a pretty drastic effect on function
i won't buy it cos i can't make phone calls on it without add-ons
