How many people have really used hex and binary math, in a professional position, to the extent that you need to have spend hours learning and memorizing it?
Anyone who has spend hours memorising hex and binary has missed the point. Once you understand number bases, which is really basic stuff, you can use any positive integer-based number system without having to learn anything.
So the meaning of words change... back when I was young, the left was decidedly anti-religion.
I miss my old left.
No need to be anti-religion, just a realistic understanding of Islam. In general Christians, Sikhs, Jews, Hindus, atheists, Wicans, etc all get on without wanting to exterminate and kill eachother
I've been telling you guys that's what's happening. Companies these days make products or for internal use by throwing together a bunch of open source software, rarely making a contributions in either case. It used to be just system integrators but now it's everybody.
That's the new model.
What's exacerbating things now is that so few people give a shit about the GPL these days, preferring other licenses that are easier to work with, as the goal of Open Source has transited from sharing to cost cutting.
What you say is true, but I think less than half of the problem - in fact the fact that they don't contribute the solutions back leaves more tech work to do. The main issue is that the "cobbling together" is often outsourced to an overseas company that pays way under a Western country's minimum wage.
Go where the money is. If management is what you want to pay me for, I'll be a manager. How hard can it be to pretend I know what I'm talking about despite not having any clue?
Actually its difficult for a lot of people. To say with complete confidence "we know that the future is sub-prime lending" or "stock markets will keep going up, we've seen the end of boom and bust" is very difficult for anyone who understands empirical methods, basic probability, and so on. It is also something that anyone with a conscience would feel bad doing (unless they really believe it).
Expecting such f***ing ignorant rednecks in Texas is like expecting fish in the sea, but being able to be so ignorant and also run schools and police? wow.
I know it really saddens me to see Sikhs, Hindus, Arab Christians, etc. put in the same category as muslims. They are frequently victims of muslims, then undeserving victims of the backlash against the muslims.
Even though the Muslim kid was deliberately trying to provoke a reaction he got an overwhelming positive response. Unfortunately, being a Sikh, this kid is unlikely to get any sympathy or a trip to the white house - even though it looks like a mistake. Now if the Sikhs rioted, killed and raped people then this would be different - but unlike Islam, Sikhism holds to their being value in all religions, equality, and use of violence only as a last resort when dealing with violence against themselves or defending other innocents. Such a belief is unlikely to get politicians falling over themselves to appease and say that you are the religion of peace.
It seems to me that Brazil is trying to follow China's example, but without a "great firewall"? How will they enforce this? Was this action sponsored by Cisco?
Yeah? Well, I've never encountered a human - myself included! - who can read my handwriting, so suck it, you AI mofos!
Some people are incredibly good at this. My wife used to type up dissertations in the days before students did their own on computers, and she can read things that to me are completely illegible. I thought my handwriting was bad but she says she has seen much worse.
Of course the question is, are they aiming for average human ability or someone who is practiced in reading difficult handwriting?
I wonder if they have seen our roads before writing this. There are a number of things which make it much more difficult. Narrow roads, where one car can go at a time, possibly one having to reverse. No jay-walking laws, except for a few motorways people have priority. Narrow country lanes where horses, cyclists etc. have no sense
My bitcoin mining rig is on a satellite orbiting mercury and is powered exclusively by the sun. I am currently the top world wide (galaxy wide?) producer of bitcoins.
I'm planning a dyson sphere and diverting all the energy to mining bitcoins. That should give me enough money to invest in a Kardashev type III level bit-mining operation. It might result in the unfortunate extinction of a few planetary systems, but this is capitalism.
Am I being naive, or just is this just a way of moving Alibaba into American ownership?
You have two companies, Alibaba (Chinese) and Yahoo (US). Yahoo takes over Alibaba to make one company (US). Yahoo disinvests everything into a different company, call it exactly-what-yahoo-was-before.com (US) and is now a new US company, called Yahoo but being exactly what Alibaba was before.
When Pat Pulling's claims of D&D suicides was researched it was found that in most of the cases she cited, no death occurred, and in some cases, they were fictional people.

I can concur, playing D&D does result in the death of many fictitious people

I object to the description of Airbnb as "illegal subletting". I am not aware of any (US) jurisdictions in which subletting is against the law.
Possibly military accommodation, though I don't expect that comes up on airbnb that often

I'm sure that the 15 year old's with a smart phone would all obey the rule and not use a false date of birth
But it now seems that maybe all that got a little gilded in my memory.
I find your lack of faith disturbing, Michael Franco.

If something is evil .. the muzzies will do it
The others:
1) Bankers
2) Banking
3) Lying
4) Cheating
Those aren't dangers - they're just business as usual

Male doctors, in modern times, are never with a female patient without a female assistant of some kind.
This certainly happens in the UK, though my wife insists on being present when our daughters are examined.
