  1. Re:I'm somewhat on PostgreSQL 9.5 Does UPSERT Right (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    The difference was that you had to know in advance whether it existed and use a different command in each case.

    I have to say that I've rarely found that to be a problem, but it's always nice to have options.

    Well it's the same in that you don't like it and it involves computers.

    I suppose that you could drive your car to the polo club, therefore BMW should make saddles. See, I can do tenuous too.

    They could save even more effort by not doing it half-assed in a vain attempt to appear erudite.

    Or you could just ask people.

    In many cases, that's about the worst thing you can do.

    I don't know whether you're playing the fool, hopelessly naïve or genuinely uninformed.

    Consider also that the stuff that people needed in the 1930's - food, energy, housing rather than gadgets - is the stuff that doesn't count towards GDP.

    Wrong. http://www.investopedia.com/as...

    It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period

  9. Re:We COULD get by working 10-20 hours a week on Why Do Americans Work So Much? · · Score: 2

    The problem we have is that work is the only metric we have for determining how to share wealth.

    It is? I thought it was based on how much you already have.

    It is doing stuff like safety inspections, progress chasing, advertising [...] making financial cases [...] and so on ad nauseum.

    But not, it would seem, teaching Latin.

    As MacTO points out below, the connection is peripheral at best. If their name was the FSTETUF you might have a point.

    P.S. Do you have some phobia about definite articles?

    Is this the same Forbes that StartsWithABang is always linking to? I think timothy should find the person who keeps posting his stories and totally fire his useless ass.

    I'm not sure how UX issues are part of their remit any more than child labour or bees dying are.

  19. Does USA have enough gold and other valuables to exchange for all dollars it has ever issued?

    Why are you even asking? It's the 21st century, not the 19th.

    One other thing: whooooosh!

    The US had cracked the Japanese codes too. To avoid suspicion they'd send a reconnaissance aircraft to where they already knew things were - and at least one to somewhere else.
