Though T-Mobile seems to have adopted an interesting strategy in the US - as a European customer I find their proposition not to be notably better than that of other carriers. Here…

I just spent 5 minutes looking up what all the acronyms meant.

What's the problem exactly? Job growth has been stagnant for 5 years? Productivity is the ratio of units of output per unit of input, where you can abstract input as being either c…

The website or post in no way implies that this is the case. One reason to choose Syria is that the situation may be more acute than it is in most other places in the world at the …

I think it does hurt the NSA's recruiting position indeed. The NSA naturally hires mostly technical people, and in general I think it is exactly this population that is disgusted m…

If I were PayPal, I wouldn't primarily be focused on buying items, as it would be very expensive strategy. I'd try sending sellers email first, indicating that you are interested i…

Conversely, if you are graded on the curve, you want your coworkers to be provably lousier than you are.

They might be selling it as a users' benefit, but in the case of the Amazon app, users are at a loss. As long as the developers submit themselves to Apple's authority, Apple and it…

This question was answered by Armin Ronacher three days ago.[0] "Why for instance is it not a good idea to write a library in Go? The reason for this is that Go for needs quite a h…

Compensating for the movement in the way you mention it shouldn't be too hard I guess. I'm curious if they will need to compensate for the speed differential between the source and…

Interesting post. I'm not fond of declaring her mentally ill based on the offenses she has committed. Clearly, she isn't living an ordinary life, but plenty of ordinary people have…

True - you would have to set rules in place that would prevent any kind of incentive for increased occupancy, and then create government bodies that enforce these rules. Also, you …

It's sad that in my country, where prisons are currently run by the government, there exist plans for privatization. With privatization there's almost no benefits, and a lot of opp…

I see your point and you're right. Thanks for sharing :)

It bothered me a bit too. What also bothered me was that I'm not sure if the conclusion of the research is correct. At least, from the fact that people who were asked to memorize m…

Same here. I'm going to read this book and hope to learn more about functional programming and the Haskell language, while (hopefully) not being bothered with the kind of trivial e…
