It really isn't. In scenarios where numbers cannot be obtained, we cannot use numbers to verify the system. And before you think we can quantify this number, remember that if we know how many innocents are imprisoned, than we know who needs to be released right now. There are many systems exactly like this, mostly human related, that we need a different set of analytics to process. That would be called ethics in this case.
Which is exactly why you never show them a working interface that doesn't have a functional backend. Salespeople notoriously create headaches for engineers and customers alike. Never give them an interface without a functional backend.
Not true. A broken database is a mess to fix. A broken webpage is easy to fix. A broken database with a working interface appears to work to the customer, while a broken webpage with a functional database just doesn't work. Fix the broken webpage and you're free and clear. Of course, let's hope you didn't tie the user interface into the logic. That get's you hosed.
Nice hand-waving. Please implement in practice and then we can talk.

No, we would listen to them plus physicists, geologists, biologists, etc. Using nuclear power involves a lot more than just running a nuclear power plant.
Your link says that the federal government gives 4x the subsidies to renewables, not 15x. And that's because no new nuclear has been built in quite some time. Thanks for finding numbers to back up your beliefs and then misrepresenting them. You contribute to the discussion!
We know that the costs of solar are far less than the costs of nuclear. You can pretend that this needs arguing, but you're incorrect for any well learned audience. Should we not assume that Slashdot is such?
Sure it can. Just stop thinking that baseload should come from a single source. When wind isn't blowing in Judith Gap, it's probably blowing in Broadus. And wind is always blowing in the Livingston pass. Of course, I live in Montana where the Rockies create an excellent source of wind energy. We'd be happy to sell it to you if we could only convince our farmers and ranchers that they should be installing turbines.
Hate to agree with the Anonymous Hater, but you are quite paranoid. I recommend watching a nice feel good movie and maybe toke some marijuana. Should remind you that life isn't so harsh or serious, especially for anyone posting to Slashdot.
How would it help America to keep a project closed? Best to be open and friendly, that will keep us getting the best and the brightest with as few roadblocks to progress as possible.
If you changed the word import to entice with emigration, it no longer applies. Just because someone was born somewhere else doesn't mean they aren't Americans supporting America.
Consumers do not demand a $350 PC. They demand a computer and are shown a $350 PC. They are purchased because they are available. No one will start a revolution if they are regulated out of existence. And people will save more if they have to spend $650. Also, Microsoft deserves nothing.
Not new or insightful, but it is worth repeating. The guy below is correct as well. It's more about social mobility and creating a meritocratic society.
Post-regulation? What kind of nonsensical made up shit is that? Regulation has always and will always be here. You are a victim to the right-wing political narrative that has been built since the 70s. Good regulation is good. Bad regulation is bad. Confounding the two weakens everyone except the rich who want to abuse regulation (or the lack thereof). Those rich people could be politicians, capitalists, or aristocrats. And yes, America has too many of all 3.
You are well versed in supply-side economic theory. It would do you some good to actually pull in real world conditions. For instance, a guy with a stick is more productive than a guy with an excavator, debt, and nothing to excavate.
Denmark has a proper welfare system that I hope is more difficult to game than ours. Drop the minimum wage and it'll be the middle class paying more for the welfare needed to keep workers in shitty factories. Some employers have HR departments trained to set up food stamps, medicaid, and affordable housing for employees. I'd be all in favor if this mean a serious VAT or real progressive tax rates. But apparently taxing people who benefit more from a proper society (ie the rich) is just too much for enough Americans that it won't happen. Our system is fucked so hard.
You must understand that it's not up to the buyer or else you would be able to buy the software for your Linux distro. I'm not sure how you created such a disconnect.
I don't think you use Ubuntu for the reasons that most people use Ubuntu. It is the user friendly version of Linux. I use it because I no longer care to do anything past install to correctly setup my machine. Ubuntu is the only flavor that has a fully functional setup for those of us that want to use the computer rather than playing sysadmin for a single user machine.
We could discontinue the absurd idea that companies are a singular entity. Someone in IT should be sacked and someone in PR (or hopefully an Exec as this should be a big deal in GroupOn) has earned their bonus for the year. GroupOn as an entity though is definitely going to hurt from this.
That's some obvious FUD if I ever heard it. Google did exactly what Google does. If there is a "hacker", it was the ops team that opened the web server up to a plain text file. I personally find the it disingenuous to call someone a "hacker" in this case. The GP was referencing the poor security of these companies, nothing about hacking or whatever.

Way to skew the conversation so that you can preach about programmers who don't take end-user testing seriously. Get a life.

Seems to be exactly what the GP said. Only you missed the part where Stephens Media thought they could do that.
That's a nice sentiment, but it's really not very true. There are far too many variables other than seeking real justice.

Of course, you are implying that they always hurt jobs and business. You should not hide behind such a fallacious argument.
