That reason is mostly presumed by those who do not sign up. Among those who do, the reasons are varied. Many sign up simply because they need a job or as a way to procure technical experience or funding for college. And many in the infant

Downtown Lisbon has all of those things as well, including lots of streetside parking space. Presumably they make it work because large above-ground dumpsters are unsightly, impede pedestrian traffic, and hinder visibility.

One possible solution is to provide enough volume that they just don't overflow. In Portugal the trash cans are really just chutes attached to a hinged "door" in the ground that lifts up to provide access to large underground

Military tech is not ahead of civilian tech except for a handful of things that are either useless (stealth aircraft) or illegal (weapons systems) for civilians. And even in those cases, most of the constituent parts of those systems are ex

Surely it would be more productive to actually link the studies than repeatedly post this rhetorical question.

I have no opinion on the issue being discussed, but the fact that Google does things a particular way is not evidence that that way is correct. It is entirely possible that Google would be better off hiring full-stack developers.

It's a desktop GUI for Git, along the same lines as Sourcetree. They've added stuff over time like various paid integrations and apparently a Kanban board, but it's always primarily been a Git GUI. Mailspring is another one I

I wish I could find it now, but I saw a survey/study a while back that showed that the weird looks of EVs are actually a selling point. Apparently one of the benefits of driving an electric vehicle is having everyone know that you driv

But they know that the sum of all cards drawn will be profitable, because their practices guarantee it. Normal businesses cannot guarantee that the sum of all their projects will be profitable.

I don't think there's a connection. The interviewee, Bob Lazar, is pretty well known in UFO enthusiast circles and has been telling the same story for decades now.

Yeah, I don't want to get bogged down with irrelevant semantics. My point is that you're saying no moral judgement can be placed on human behavior because humans don't have free will, but such a judgement can be placed on soc

By that logic there's no guilt on society's part, either. In fact, there's no such thing as injustice. Only fate.

Tesla only produced 350,000 vehicles in 2018. A million by the end of 2020 containing technology they don't have yet, in addition to vehicles sold to consumers, seems...ambitious.

This is needelessly contrarian. Really, he's offended because someone implied that individuals could be great? They never said teams couldn't be, but unless he's planning to bring his team of kernel developers from 15 years a

Question: why is posting an inflammatory and fact-free statement like this: > You wouldn't see these scenes in even the most deprived corners of Newcastle-upon-Tyne or the Rhondda Valley. The crowds the event attracts! This is what

Why do they have to be "something greater"? Most people would be thrilled if we found the alien equivalent to a jellyfish. People like aliens because we're curious creatures and aliens are unknown and interesting. I've n
