Honestly, I would love to start seeing platformers like this come out for the PC.

The answer to this question will always be "Not until X is available" where X is something needed by the company of the person answering your question. By the time everyone agrees, it'll be 10 years down the road and we'

I'm assuming I would already be in a Facebook conversation with the person, so the number of steps would be relatively low. Without that assumption, Facebook is (mildly) more difficult than a physical wallet.

English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and several other European languages have mostly identical character sets and even large numbers of similar or identical words. Computers detect these languages just fine. I think we'll be okay

Honestly, I'd feel very uncomfortable making giving money this easy. Even with a physical wallet, it's still a two-step process.

Am I the only person who thought unifying the Greco-Roman language characters actually sounds like a good idea?

The problem is they tend to be more isolated than other customers might be. It's hard to go viral with old people - I suppose you could try advertising on Fox News.

Wow. Rhode Island is 1/5th the size of San Diego County, and 1/3rd the population.

Imagine you have a coworker who is always on the phone quite loudly nearby you with a very identifiable voice. That's what these people seek to avoid - specific distractions that humans have adapted for thousands of years to pick up on

Except you're sitting next to your coworkers - not your boss. Your coworkers don't want to out you - that only hurts their reputation and gives them more work. If anything, this prevents one person from being singled out because i

We have a pretty strong reliance on the estate tax for situations like these. I imagine if longevity were discovered, that would change to another kind of wealth tax within 10 years.

So, there's two major things I would suggest changing: 1. Easy answers keep users from developing Google-fu. Competitors answers should be sufficient. If they aren't, make a separate doc and have it be easily Googleable from a hin

My college classes gave me 1/5th the assignments my high school classes did. It was usually less than 10% of the grade. For some classes, it was completely optional. My high school experience was the exact opposite. I had so much homew

Is there some reason we can't just do away with both and consider spaces in languages?

The only way to do it is to have a job where you can complete the work in less than 5 hours a day. Preferably one that gives you the freedom to leave early/come in late so long as you're doing well on your work. No one actually wo

In all fairness, most desk jobs that existed in the 50's and 60's are now heavily consolidated (it now takes one journalist and Google what it used to take 10 to do). And most factory work is either also heavily consolidated or mo

To be honest, titles don't matter. Authority and duties matter.

Actually, I think this is less common now than it was 20 years ago.

I actually started "programming" back when I was a kid working on Starcraft maps. The Starcraft editor isn't quite graphical but it definitely isn't text documents (though in Starcraft 2, I believe it compiles down to a

While that liability is nice, I think the world is better off without it. If people know they can't take their vacation with them, they'll actually take it when it's appropriate. The liability situation is a lose-lose one. Yo

A minimum vacation policy is the same as a normal one. You just don't have to get special approval or get your pay docked if you go over.

I'll be honest. I much prefer these oil sands operations that ruin sparsely populated bits of remote wilderness in the Canadian Arctic to other operations that destroy pristine wilderness near somewhere livable to more than ~300 people

Same. I was so confused because I thought these comments were in reaction to the top comment.

I feel like this could be easily handled. Does anyone want to print out the three important values and tape them to machines/nearby walls so everyone knows? (I don't live in New York.)

To be honest, I think you could really benefit from having a good office job. Office work can greatly improve your ability to focus and complete tasks. Before I took an office job, I could make small projects but couldn't program beyon

It's a cloud database. If you know a lot about front end and don't want to do any work for your back end, it's perfect. Just enter your data types as objects in the GUI and you're good to go. There's JavaScript too

Engineers have better outcomes at the start of their career and have better odds of starting their own company successfully. If you're a good economist, you'll go into economics. If you're a great economist, you'll go in
