    I kind of assume the opposite problem. If you start with code and then add testing and documentation you may never committed to leave broken things to maintain otherwise inconsiste…

    Imagine you lower the manufacturing cost of the most popular beverage ten fold. How much less do restaurants charge for the drink?

    If the point is continued legal meaning then it would be better to digitally publish in any way that allows distributed verification of the record as what was published and not cha…

    In a consumer context it seems pretty harmless compared to the manipulation by design of the profit driven side in B2C or even B2B transactions. I thought the article was going to …

    I'd don't really see a difference between sending an email to a list or to a maintainer. Maybe that's an argument for not adding and adapting to unnecessary concepts like a web bas…

    Use something like Anki for spaced repetition during these short times and use other time to do more in depth work and add cards.

    I don't think the world would be a very ecologically diverse place if all continents were as domesticated as Europe. When we argue that Africa, Asia and South America should protec…

    Any level of random sampling is a serious concern for a conglomerate like P&G with both many products and high volume. Negasmart may be able to sell for years at a substantial volu…

    The regulators seem a bit condescending about other countries. Given everything I've heard about US import and food controls the manufacturer may have intentionally chosen the US s…

    Refusing to hire the workers of partners would be a worse problem. But their offer sounded a lot to me like they were presuming access to salary information, etc. In a proper syste…

    As per the article, clawbacks. Even "Pauls" that Bernie didn't talk into reinvesting were threatened with clawbacks of their fake earnings.

    The difference seems too small not to rule out all sorts of things, but the general idea would be that you can't predict shorter/longer for one minor change, so the average of samp…
