That is indeed the argument and I don't think it is necessarily a bad one. Academic papers are both jargony and written in specialist notation and are not generally accessible to lay people without background in the field. I don't

Don't forget better UX. The whole practice of UX is utter hogwash. Comparisons between 3 or 4 (or 100) solutions that are shitty at baseline is not honest at all.

I have NEXUS and I agree it is worth it. But the relevant question is that TSA pre is not difficult to get. If someone (US citizen or PR with relatively clean record) wants to blow up a plane with themselves on it then I don't see how

Yes, all you're saying is it is possible to make shitty native apps too. So that would explain your results. Native isn't a magic wand, but except for the simplest of things web will not be as good. The cracks still show in things

I have no idea where this incredulity even comes from you tools, nor the claim from TFA which was patently absurd. Pretty much every fucking major language not listed has green threads if not built into the core (Python, Ruby) provided

If you have excellent credit you can simply not pay and make them do the work. I had a $1500 dispute. I was getting tired of wasting time. When it went to collections I drafted the standard leave me alone. The funny thing is now the collect

Deployment of cell sites at events like stadiums for sporting events and outdoor music festivals is pretty common for years and years. Unless you're a hermit you almost have certainly seen a COW at one point or another. Cf Wikipedia mo

20k is actually not that many people as far as these things go. Over 50k in that confined stadium area and you really start hitting some hard limits with current cell tech. 20k should have been no problem with careful planning.

All you can eat is actually quite specific, but for knuckleheads like yourself it is usually clarified in writing in other places. It's all you can eat while at the establishment.. not all you can take. They don't advertise it as

Lol I'm not a lawyer and I am not really interested in the legal distinction between idea and implementation, because if a non practicing entity can buy a patent that amounts to a few flowcharts you're just arguing silly semantics

Well the actual transform is due to LaPlace. Steinmetz didn't really work out any new math but he certainly pushed it's practical application forward. For better or worse most engineering students learn it as a Laplace transform w

There absolutely is no shortage. The distribution issue is taken out of the picture by looking at large firms like Google and Apple that can hire broadly. Google prides themselves on their interview system that has a high false negative rat

They're probably looking for much kids/fewer years experience (they keep bloviating about being startup like after all). Based on GS pay they cap out at a salary that is not very high for an industry veteran (they talk about steps

Lol.. other than the one side part (turtle anyone?) what you're proposing is a laserdisc. Ie an actual thing. They're not coming back either because they died. Vinyl never died it just declined. Simplicity of playback equipment is

> out of a sheet of paper and a needle Don't do this with any vinyl you care about. It will destroy it pretty good. Microgroove records since the 50s were made for a fine tipped stylus, not a needle.

Wonder why you're downvoted. This is entirely true. Bitching about efficiency of music players on Windows without mentioning foobar2000 (which isn't exactly obscure) is pretty fucking silly.

There is something seriously wrong with Clementine on osx, which is unfortunate. Ui consumes tremendous CPU and is laggy as hell. This is a known, reported issue but has not been fixed. It is a shame also because there isn't a decent l

It is probably about as close to ideal as one can get on Windows. The codecs themselves are of course implementations that have been reasonably optimized and at the end of the day the audio framework in Windows is the limiting reagent for f

Lol I hadn't heard that interpretation. Personally it's too interpretive for me. Ive always accepted the tautological version -- similar to TANSTAAFL: Information wants to be free -- simply because the cost of duplicating and dist
