If there is any chance that human error contributed to this disaster (either via the people there or maintenance deferred or done less than perfectly), then "a more humane work schedule" would have made that less likely due to eve

Not OP, but you could have a priority queue where you acknowledge each element as up/down/neutral and the change in score that you provide would affect it's location in other people's queues.

Optimal isn't the right way to think about it. It's a tradeoff. Hub-and-spoke is usually better at getting you to your destination in less absolute time given the same number of total flights since you can have more frequent &quot

Health data is scary because of HIPAA (and the equivalent in non-US jurisdictions) not because it's inherently special or hard to make sense of.

There should be some punctuation in the title. The tool is named "Help". A quick skim doesn't make it seem like the author is in need of urgent assistance.

Bob seems to be using pronouns that are associated with both genders. Seems to be their thing. In any case, Bob seems like a fairly competent hacker and that's all that really matters here.

>they are not enforced ... widely, rigorously and thoroughly That's a major source of the danger. If they were being consistently and equally enforced, then it would be obvious when there were issues. In the case with selective enfo

"UAV" has stronger military connotations for me. I'm not sure it's inherently better. Maybe something entirely new is better? "AAV" Autonomous Ariel Vehicle, or something similar?

One thing that does bother me about the Bechdel test is that it is represented as "passing is good enough". The Bechdel test intentionally sets a laughably low bar. Just because a piece of media passes, doesn't automatically

Continuity seems like a good reason. If you have a team that has expertise in mainframes and need a new service, it is potentially cheaper to build a new mainframe than it is to hire a new team to run your new service.

According to the wiki article, the sentences aren't mandatory. They're presented as a choice where one choice is a period of time in jail and the other is an action in the community and a shorter period of time in jail. IANAL but,

I type relatively quickly (95 wpm) and I didn't even notice the delay until "really not great" (100 ms) and it didn't bother me until "we're done here" (200 ms). I think it has more to do with expectations

Edit your terminal's font settings. Without knowing more about the setup you use, I can't be more helpful.

Is there a source with the explicit ban rather than a link to the wikipedia page?

I'm gonna disagree on this one. When you're just starting, the installation process can be nontrivial and the terminal window is scary. Having less friction there makes it easier to start and build some confidence. Once you have s

Since there is a quote calling it "natural gas" later on, I'm guessing this is a typo on the city "Freemont", since that's where the gas is coming from. I've since been corrected... Seems I didn't rea

Usually with a project of this scale, you'd also get a copy of the source code for the interpreter or a provision in the contract for a copy of the source in the case that the company that wrote the interpreter goes out of business.

I'd rather that people disclose when tangentially related than not at all. I'd say it's a good thing.

I worked in a lab for the US government building cubesats for a summer during college. I can't answer everything, here are a few answers. 1. Last time I heard pricing per pound to orbit was ~$10,000 per pound. This was for the shuttle

I haven't ever used spotify, so forgive my ignorance. How are they measuring the system volume from inside a webapp? Shouldn't that information not be visible to them?

Yahoo was different though. People would buy Yahoo stock as a proxy for Alibaba since it wasn't publicly traded.

Revenue != Profit. There are costs associated with making money off of the IP. You'd stop when those costs and the cost of renewing are greater than the revenue taken in.

At least you got someone to talk to. I got "no other humans online" and told to come back in 59 minutes and 39 seconds... Anyone know the significance of the time? Or is it just trying to be more effective than saying an hour? (In
