> if they are OK with the US taking him into custody, their government is free to let that happen, treaty or not. If who is OK with what? The Maldives is a republic and has to foll…

I also thought SML worked quite well at that level, but I think the initial negativity on the forums about an unknown language reflected what to expect from a larger portion of 101…

SML is great, but based on the UW paradigms course, I'd say it gets a lot of backlash from students wanting something common in industry. Transitioning first classes from C to go w…

Yes, in fact this could hurt them more significantly. The assets 7.6 million expats are mostly in the US since the US is preventing 'US persons' from investing abroad with the same…

When I look at a field like sports, I assume the genetic advantages are not so direct to the routine tasks. For example, significant genetic factors may be: healing or failing to h…

This is exactly the topic I've been pondering recently. I encountered the same kind of problem just within CS during an interview. Personally, I went back further in the domain to …

> Being poor completely sucks ... The point of getting rich is so that your life doesn't suck. This is a false dichotomy. The path to getting rich involves being moderately success…

The only reason I can do well in one of these interviews is because I recently started writing poor patch code for websites. In development, who would do design, code and review on…

Yes, I had the same problem with the article. The lawsuit just seems to be cherry picking which part of Barclay's paradoxical claims to trust, not creating its own self referential…

So, is playing golf in the rain a worse option than walking or driving home and returning later on a city street? These odds are hardly a compelling reason to continue warning abou…

No, I just live in Zurich. The past products I worked on were mostly for banks so I still pay a little more attention to what developers from banks and finance groups say when I ru…

You are hung up on my example over my point which is not that I believe the explanation of the gratification delay tests.. I like your hypothesis, but I also don't care if the grat…

That could be, though I certainly have met outliers who thrive from a childhood of rebellion. Many of them seemed uninhibited but really had a sadistic ability to wait for their op…

> I've seen this too, but it's not a new phenomenon. This has always happened behind closed doors; LinkedIn merely makes it public. Yep, we had an engineer who spent 40 hours a wee…

I have a friend who worked for TI's automotive. They sold it off as the entire sector is bellow TI's minimum profitability level. So cost is issue #1.. But the subtext in the artic…

Since the discussion is age, I would say digital equipment corporation which would put everyone at 40+.

But you can also synchronize on a reference system from your competitor's systems and then you can do easy comparisons. (For example, Solaris x86 clearly favored 1-2 specific windo…
