Suddenly we're concerned about our AAA rating? Why should we care? Deficits don't matter, right?
Deficits don't matter as long as we keep getting loans.
If we lose our AAA rating...to be honest it wouldn't really mean diddly in the short run (10 yearsish). But following that, it's possible that the world bank might make it so the reserve is no longer in dollars. (fucked you europe and your euro. and shutup china, no one wants to rely on the yuan) This...would hurt us a great deal.
FTFY... US fucked Europe and Euro... let's see how it's like to stay at the receiving end now.
As for relying on yuan... it's not about what you want or not! Maybe you don't know yet, but you are already relying on it.

Why on Earth are we still implementing tax cuts and deficit spending?!
Because the ones that financed the campaign of the current (and past, for many years) government said so. That's the problem with using math, ab absurdum proofs always go wrong in politics.
"Ad absurdum" and "politics" is already so way-of-life that already boring... But, now... "proofs" and politics... what an oxymoron!!!
No, the Lagrange points are stable garbage dumps for planets to put "small" things of 9% of its mass or less, the stuff stays there. It's one of the ways a planet clears its orbit.
Theoretically you are right. Practically, the orbit of TK7 is actually unstable. Because TK7 executes some Lissajous orbit around L4 and the Moon orbit is eccentric (search for the "the case of the Earth-Moon system" in the linked page).
Such naysaying must mean that you are a Republican, and probably from Texas.:) Just joking, although it seems like the Republican party, which should be supporting SpaceX and the free market's solution to space travel, are the ones who are the most critical.
Nope, not eve US-ian.
This SpaceX launch will be historic for sure, and will be successful. From what I have read the plan is to do a flyby of the station to prove the software and maneuvering systems,... If something goes wrong at any point, they'll abort the mission, so the station should be relatively safe.
Great to still see optimists in this world... speaking for myself, software being involved, I'm bit worried.
I'm excited! It was great to watch the first launch, and then the orbital demonstration flight. I'll definitely watch this one too.
Counting chicken before hatching? Live as what: the day the first civilian spacecraft docked with ISS or the day the civilian spacecraft brought the ISS down?
Now and then, on pages that were really useful to me and which also display Google ads, I'm actually clicking on a couple of the ad-links.
You know... like a "thank you, here are some cents because I liked the content"... (I suppose that's why the author/publisher put them there).
"Hire someone who annoys you" Seriously? Do you want to spend the whole day having arguments and being stressed out about stupid shit? Is that really a better way to build products?
Personally, I favor a diversity of ideas in the inception stage, I found that leads to better products.
There's no insight here, just soundbytes that everyone interprets differently.
And you too are right: each one will pick what they want to hear. Does it make it less valuable? (are you in the search for "the silver bullet solution"?)
Seriously, guys, read TFA. Here's another example of "dumb" but insightful:
On funding good people, Merrill recommends always "over hiring" and diversity matters.
"Diversity yields better outcomes. Hire someone who annoys you as they are more likely to be diverse and diverse practices are better," he said.
Any MBA graduate will tell you this is dumb, because you aren't trying to minimize the cost and create yourself the pains of constant frictions. Very few will recall that the profit has two components, and the "income" part of it is actually favored by diversification.
I think most project managers are a waste as well. In a small company it is unneeded. I'm more circumspect to say whether or not they're needed in a big company, but they certainly seem less needed in small, closely connected groups.
I argue that you need project management all the time, only the amount of it varies in depending the size of the project. I tend to agree, however, that if you do project management in excess of what's needed, almost all the time is a failure guarantee.
In short, when doing it the proper way, project management is related with the "cost of prevention", thus:
a. you may skip the prevention and, if lucky enough, you may succeed; but...
b.... if you are excessively cautious, nobody is going to get you back the time and effort you spend in being prepared.
Of course, if you do PM in a wrong way, then the effort is wasted from the very beginning; no matter how small is the impact, it's still a waste.
The whole hype that laptops must weigh next to nothing is silly. If the laptop is your mobile office, and if it is important for work, then 4.5 kg is a tiny amount.
Given the amount of physical exercise nowadays, I'd say 4.5 kilos isn't enough. But maybe I'm wrong (safe to click)

It was done on my own time with the company’s full support. They knew it was open source [etc]
I wonder what the heck does this means? "My own time" = "I wasn't paid wages for it"...
... but then, what "full support" does mean????
Sooner or later you ARE going to have to kiss the bride AND even face the wedding night. Just close your eyes and think of the GPL.
You mean... distributing those moments in source code?
I was molested by my first Ultra SPARC 5 a decade ago.
That's a lie: SPARC CPU-s were protestant of the puritan extraction (coming up in a CISC hedonistic era).
Secondly, no, I don't consider them a 'real' threat. They're not threatening lives.
They are doing worse than that - they are threatening some life-styles: the ones of the politicians and corporate execs.
Did they reach the "Mad Tea Party" yet?
The problem is, it seems when picking their leader they rather went with Saruman and Sauron rather than Gandalf.
Now you lost me... Just who this Gandalf is?

Tell me.... Does it have oil?????
Yes, of snake variety. Wanna buy some?
If it's a Trojan asteroid, does that mean it's full of space Greeks?!!!
No, it just means that Earth hasn't updated its antivirus (and, possibly, has a nasty habit of visiting promiscuous sites on the Internet).

Things like that are dangerous until proven safe. Same goes for anything else that you put in your body.
Finally, somebody with common sense. First target suggestion: fast-food joints - ubiquitous and demonstratable toxic.
Is there an app for that?

And you compare a 200 GB HDD with an 8 GB one? More over, in the context of TFA, with an 8 GB meant to replace the RAM?
