The alternative is something like South Africa and Botswana where the worlds largest gold and diamond resources were stolen, and are still being stolen by a small clique of individuals connecting Durban, Belgium, New York and London, and th

This is great if they can sustain it. Is there a company and revenue model behind it or is it just someone's hobby? Also, isn't it similar to Factual and the like, other than fork and pull requests?

So data parallel constructs like parallel for loops can work with GPUs? I mean not just in theory but can the current implementations program GPUs?

"Identifies Deep Relationships In Big Data" seems to imply there is some machine learning going on. A quick glance at their API makes it seem more like (perhaps over-engineered) graph traversals. Anybody have a good idea of what it is about

Why doesn't another big company step up and lay down its own copper/fiber into homes? Sure, it will be a BIG investment but the return should be awesome. I am sure it will be worthwhile in at least some areas like NYC, Bay Area, Boston etc.

I remember work for pie has been featured here before, though they have added more details now which is great. Though I believe http://www.gitalytics.com/ gives a more detailed analysis based just on github contributions.

Has PPIP actually bought any of these toxic assets or is it just a plan. The wikipedia entry doesnt seem to imply anything has actually been bought.

You know what is really funny about this? It applies (mostly) to any country I can think of.

Segregation was completely legal in many public and private sites. Those uppity kids breaking the law needed to get jail time for it.

No, you don't have to be ok with it. I'd just not hang around someone like that. Calling the cops seems excessive.

There are a few things I don't understand. It seems that a lot of websites are tracking behavior at toolness.org. Why? Is it reversed, i.e., the add-on from toolness.org is tracking these websites, or do these sites have sort of counter-mea

Yes, India has a caste system. It hasn't "gone away", but it doesn't necessarily mean everyone in the same family is always forced to work in the same profession and it hasn't had the force of law for quite a while. These things can subtly

The author/narrator didn't say anything about Aussies, the BPO trainer did.

by baltcode 15y ago
It is a very superficial, stereotyped statement (not any worse than those about Aussies, I guess), and people were obviously doing things other than laborers, government workers, and homemakers. However, the BPO era has added a significant

The state should enforce visitation and joint custody rights. Whether it is by giving the foreigner a right to stay in the US, or by enabling and enforcing the travel of the child is up to the US government. I think that will be fair enough

I had difficulty understanding namecoin. Do you simply pay for DNS registration with namecoins or is the DNS itself hosted in a decentralized and anonymous fashion?

Unless, in certain cases one law overrules another even thought the two are completely separate. Case in point: https://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=139484910828&topi... Note: I am not concerned with immigration, but de-facto denial

How do you differentiate between saying the project was a combined effort vs. talking about two distinct entities. eg., My wife and my projects were casualties of the war. Did the projects the two of you were working on destroyed in the war

Yes, but when speculators push the prices higher, won't supplies increase as it becomes more profitable to grow food? I can understand a transient phenomenon, but that would eventually hurt the speculators if they try to lift pricing out of

Thank you! Isn't the whole idea of fairness that people should be able to work to support themselves. Isn't that a basic human right? So to all the people clamoring for amnesty for Vargas but think Indian and Chinese workers don't deserve j
