    Yet Trump rarely articulates any policy, beyond incoherent rambling, except "I will fix it!". I guess it works...

    There's a video on YouTube of some guy gathering pee bottles discarded by Amazon drivers/contractors, created a fake drink, and got it listed on Amazon to the top spot.

    Yeah I don't know how you would break up Microsoft Office or regulate that. There are competitors but it's so pervasive, most companies use it. You'd have to create a public API th…

    For 1/r^2, wouldn't curved spacetime mess that up? Not sure how you would calculate say a moon or other things in between.

    Thats beyond ridiculous. Most languages when you are reading a line from a file, and it doesn't have a \n terminator, its going to give you that line, not say, oops, this isn't a l…

    I imagine there must be lots of gravity lensing going on as well, not sure how they deal with that.

    Sometimes a framework will do weird things, like convert it to scientific notation, or round it, or add a ton of zeroes. Like BigDecimal in Java and Decimal in C#. They can sneak u…

    I think they are definitely valuable. My issue is I would have to disassemble most of the large legacy code base to be able to effectively test things, and a large part of it is UI…

    Thats one reason I prefer small companies. Less bureaucratic BS, more accountability, etc. Sure there isn't as much room for career growth and other downsides, but much simpler.

    Cubicles are OK as long as there isn't a lot of chatter, people being on the phone all the time, talking loud, etc. Though of course id rather be in my own room no doubt.

    You can be highly intelligent but also lack the social awareness / emotional intelligence, take Aspergers Syndrome for example.

    I agree. It would be so much easier if everyone had a government bank account just like a SSN, that they could use (or not use), and also have other private checking/savings/etc ac…

    Thats mainly a problem with the browsers, no? Not saying it isn't an issue, obviously the big ones are going to drive a lot of this technology, but you could still use something li…

    Add along with that ranked choice voting of some sort. Of course, they'll never allow this as then they couldn't have third party candidates to siphon off votes off of the opposing…

    Nice, reminds me of my high school computer lab. I wrote a trojan horse in VB6 and distributed it among the lab PCs somehow, then from mine I would open and close peoples CD trays,…

    Ah I believe the confusion was thinking that 57 snapshots over said billion years would be enough to deduce the second. But instead they mean if you used binary search (or similar)…

    It is an indisputable fact that if "the doors were opened" that at least some iOS users would be switching browsers and other apps. That is good for competition and innovation, yes…

    Right. They only care when it starts being noticeably slow/laggy, or causing other problems, or if a button/menu item they often use has changed positions or removed altogether. "I…

    Fibromyalgia is a similar issue and I'm sure there are hundreds of others, our understanding of the human body still has a long way to go.

    Half the battle at least is most likely in your head. If you bite into a sandwich with very negative thoughts (e.g. it's probably horrible/bad/diseased) then you'll most likely tas…
