It's fair to point out they also sued after they issued a warning shot, in the form of a C & D. I like your analogy of the site being forked. I don't believe for a 2nd that the com…

CL is popular because it's simple, easy, cheap. They have tons of competitors that they manage to beat, so they're doing something right. Companies that want to horn in on them sho…

I don't think that temporary part fabrication for critical assembly lines qualifies as overhyping 3d printing. That seems super reasonable :) A 3d printer in every house, completel…

Would this actually be a pretty bad application of 3-d printing? I thought the metals were generally or exclusively done through sintering, and and for some reason (may be incorrec…

Don't forget agriculture, aerospace/defense, banking. Hard to get bent out of shape when someone gets a slice of the pie that is trying to improve things.

"Those fears were not in the slightest irrational. People had really really bad reactions to the regular pertussis to the point that people routinely advised new parents not to get…

Just because you are willing/able to leave a company doesn't mean you advertise it. Hence "explicit" vs "tacit" in my comment. What a person says about being loyal is irrelevant, y…

That is apples and oranges. He's talking about a tacit understanding, and not necessarily in the context of upward movement. You're talking about explicitly telling management that…

Outstanding answer - thanks for the pointer to the Lakos book.

Not a PuTTY fan. I generally install Fedora or Linux vms on personal Windows systems (where they are mandatory/heavily advantageous and where security policies permit) in large par…

Test driven development usually refers to unit testing or integration testing. It would be interesting to know if you went beyond that and the nature of contract work you were doin…

1) Experts in all fields are always wrong sometimes. The nonexperts are wrong more frequently on average and people are less interested in proving them wrong. 2) Saying that implem…

I could not disagree with you more. Maybe you could suggest what might be "more helpful" but I personally could not think of anything more useful that than telling people to not do…

It will turn into a cloud of asteroids surrounding the earth intended to prevent the human race from unleashing whatever hell we create with those autonomous mining robots on the I…

My first reaction to the linked excerpt was that Seveneves reminded me of Galapagos (thematically)

Yes, and pre-ACA, if were diagnosed with anything during a coverage gap, it would fall into the dreaded "pre-existing condition" category.

Typical process might be - and this is at a very hight/crude level - 1) job that checks out & runs unit tests triggering 2) a job that creates a build triggering 3) a job deploying…

This is a pretty good list. It's a bit self-serving on the technology questions as well as the general line of questioning for TestMunk (understandably). If you are really hiring a…

It's news because of index funds, that now must rebalance by selling T and buying AAPL. Otherwise, I agree completely that the DJIA is becoming a bit of an anachronism.

You should talk to a CPA [edit: sorry, Canada - CGA], not an attorney, first. You are upset about something that might not be an issue. You haven't mentioned what type of stock opt…

I find your response a bit insulting and presumptuous. I'm sufficiently well developed to separate my feelings about a politician from their political party, and in turn from my ow…

Hah! Try spoofing an email to a recipient in the State Dept and tell me how it works out :)

So, anyone with a brain realizes this is a political hit job leading up to the 2016 presidential election. So the promotion of this story has very few honest brokers involved & a l…
