Did I really deserve a "-1, flamebait"? I don't see why it's that "bad". I'm just reporting a cause familiar to me. Perhaps "yapping" is derogatory, but only slightly to me.
I request assistance in interpreting the cause for social judgement here as I am unable to form a sufficient social model to explain the mod score.
Oligopolies almost always suck. They use the excuse of "economies of scale", but in practice the lack of incentives under an oligopoly is a much bigger drag than lack of economies of scale. The few players in the market tend to mutually settle on a uniform mediocre or low product and service level and each grow complacent because customers have to choose between Larry, Mo, or Curly: all 3 suck and switching from say Mo to Curly still leaves you with an idiot running the show. (I'm not talking about service, not entertainment level.)
Conservatives like to talk about government inefficiency due to lack of competition, but oligopolies are not far behind, but conservatives don't want to prevent oligopolies because that's "regulation". I find it hypocritical.
First the Dutch pulled ahead giving us the chocolates gap, then Taiwan pulled ahead in the partisan bickering gap with mass representative punch-outs and flying chairs (our reps can only muster mean words), then the Japanese pulled ahead of us in the merchandise cute-ness gap, and now this trampoline gap.
computer scientists hated BASIC, which they thought taught bad habits and caused brain damage, but they were wrong.
They were right actually, but the PHB's doing the real-world hiring didn't know the difference as long as their reports printed out right...in the short term.
In the mid 1980's our 360 assembler class had to use punched cards to run programs at an off-site mainframe facility. For security reasons they didn't want a wired connection. Thus the turn-around time was a day.
Since we did have an onsite VAX with a card reader, I decided to write a Pascal utility to pre-check for bone-head syntax and naming errors to reduce the failed attempt cycles and made it available to other students with teacher approval.
And I got a nice little award for that to put on my first resume.
Ban women passengers if you want to increase safety. I've ran 3 red lights either arguing with or being baffled or insulted by yapping women passengers.
They may be good (or decent) at yapping and driving at the same time due to practice, but I don't have that experience and they don't seem to realize that.
"Complex" is difficult to objectively define, unless you use some form of code size. But generally code size and grokkability by humans are only roughly related.
We will NEVER be able to get there, or ever hope to even send something there

Seriously, a multi-generational nuclear powered colony or unmanned space probe going roughly 1% to 10% of the speed of light is not completely outside of possibilities. Arguably we could build and launch such now if we had 50 trillion or so dollars to blow. That's what, 20 years worth of world-wide military budgets?
Maybe someday fairly soon the Mormons or a new cult will try such. Since it's not gov't funded, they can accept more risk to keep it cheaper.
It can be viewed as "required insurance" rather than taxes in that we ALL (or most) pay into the pool, but the benefits (payout) are not necessarily even, per life "events" just like any insurance. I realize conservatives are bothered by the "required" part of "required insurance", and that's why they label it "socialism". However, that's not necessarily a "handout" because most are also handing "in".
It's not really stealing from the rich to pay the poor, but more like stealing from the lucky to pay the unlucky. Vegashood instead of Robinhood.
In imperative languages [parallelism] is scattered all over the code and there is no way to skip.
I haven't found much of a need for direct parallelism coding in the typical "custom business applications" I encounter. The web server model or client/server, and the databases generally provide such already for most "parallel" needs without explicit coding. But other niches may indeed need more of such. The issue is "FP everywhere" versus "FP only where helpful".

No, it's how cheap civilizations do it. Advanced ones want a way to change their mind and turn back.
Yikes! Do not google that at work without safety settings
it got cluster fscked

USA has lost its way.
Until they found out they were Windows 8.
Unlike the dude with the little mustache, Putin can't make the trains or jokes run on time.
Yes, two breasts.
He he he, +5 duuude!
I'm not blaming anybody, only saying that
driving + women = crash
I do fine as long as there are no women in the car. Perhaps DMV should test drivers with Ms. Chatty and Mrs. Nosey in the back seat.

If you taste enough alchemy experiments, you'll imagine all kinds of whacky stuff.

It was intended as a joke. Flat?
Yay! A Got-Off-My-Lawn version is just what I want. I'll certainly look into it. I'm tired of the UI changing for change's-sake alone.
I wish they'd publish their justification and studies for the changes. That would encourage them to be less random.
Intelligently? No, first you need to get a lobotomy.
But you are ruling out Hortas, dude

A strong indicator of life would be continents that spell out "Go Home Yankee!" (Or "Go Home Yankees" if occupied by Red Sox fans.)
