Sorry, but apart from the last two (who don't exactly excel in their fields, though FS is a good enough turn-based shooter to be fun in multiplayer), that's not a good advertisement.
If you can make a complete game in it, it's a good game engine. If the game sucks, that's the designers fault, not the engine's.
Does shorting increase the efficiency with which we provide goods or services? If not, there is no reason for it. The point of the stock market isn't to make predictions and profit from them, it's to facilitate productive industry.
It might be that shorting actually does facilitate productive industry, but I've never seen that argued. Feel free to enlighten me.
The only resource that actually matters is oil, and we're past peak on that one. You can count on human ingenuity if you want, but human greed and shortsightedness are what really runs the world.
Zombies are popular because they are human like and yet its ok to slaughter them in the most savage ways and still be the good guy and even have fun while doing it.
Human population growth is not limited solely by the availability of subsistence; it self-limits given the presence of other factors that tend to occur as prosperity increases.
So how do you maintain 10 billion people at any level of prosperity once the oil runs out?
Thrun is an amazing statistician and a world-renowned researcher in the field, maybe that's not really what it takes to make online education successful
That's not all it takes to make classroom education successful either.
There is a reason that your chance of getting a job decreases as your length of unemployment increases.
Do you have data to suggest that it is actually due to the underqualifications of the applicant, instead of non-competence related issues such as lack of networking opportunities, depression, or simple bias against the unemployed on the part of HR?
If you want what is best for society as a whole, everyone needs a job. Unemployed people should get priority in hiring unless you can demonstrate that you cannot find qualified people who are between jobs.
No, Chernobyl is still well above background levels so it's not a variation on that argument at all. It is a variation on the argument that Fukushima is not as bad as people make it out to be because the elevated radiation levels are still below what people live with in Denver.
It's a valid argument, and when you apply it where the premises are also valid you still get valid results. "The dose makes the posion" has been well known for 500 years.
What annoys me most about this debate is that there are so many people who apparently think that having worked as a prostitute/sex worker is so very bad and would somehow disqualify a woman from being the first lady.
I'd argue that being the first lady is so very bad that it should disqualify a person from being a sex worker.
It appears to me that Google is making a purely factual statement. Most people who searched for X also searched for Y. Is truth not a defense against libel in Germany?
Sounds like the author took one bad course, and is blaming online classes for his bad experience. Any of these complaints could apply easily to a poorly instructed statistics class at your local community college.
We can't even get Cannabis legalized here, and the arguments for that are much more overwhelming. When children are involved, people shut off their brains.

Ohh, they represent Muslims. Got it.
It never fails to amaze me how many /. posters seem not to understand that technology makes us more efficient with the same resources.
It never fails to amaze me how many posters seem not to understand that we've already used most of the resources on the planet.

Awesome, there should be no peak oil or global warming now right?
Blanket denial in the face of facts is also well correlated with conservativism.
There's a difference, but liberalism is correlated with education. There's a reason for that.

FWIW, Jeff Foxworthy has used "You might be a redneck if..." as the title to several of his books.

I don't trust the FBI at all, but WTF were they going to do with a patchy database of deprecated hardware IDs?

The only people that would be able to apply are people who are unemployed.
Uh, good?
If it succeeds in SF, you know it will work wherever there is an affluent and educated populace. If it succeeds in KC, you know it will work anywhere.

Clear to who? Is Google responsible for making even the stupidest understand what their algorithms do?

That's what "first lady" means. It's not an offical title.

And yet not one of the CEOs responsible for the epic fraud that crashed the world economy in 2008 has even been arrested, let alone charged and tried.
Get him started off programming BASIC, and then inlining bits of machine code. He'll be a natural in no time.
