Why isn't Walmart drawing his ire as well then?

It's fine.

False. Berkshire Hathaway has no dividend.

What if the fix to the car reduced your MPG by 30% to address a safety issue? This seems somewhat analogous to the number being bandied about as the CPU performance decrease. (Depends on workload, etc, etc.) I think most car owners would expect some kind of compensation for a product that no longer has the same efficiency as when they bought it.

Well we also constantly mass-murder our cousins (cows, fish, pigs, etc.) So not sure mating is more disturbing. Well unless you're talking about cows.

I'm not surprised there are no LEDs with heaters. Seems like it would be integrated into the housing/lense.

"The average for the lowest cities is surprisingly high."

The list is based on the 100 most populous cities so I'm not sure what their point was for the least expensive cities. Higher populations generally mean higher prices.

Both can be true.

They already did that over a decade ago.

People do not do a strict cost benefit analysis when deciding their line of work. See: English majors.

The market is being distorted by lack of residencies. This could possibly also distort the cost of medical school. It is not an undersupply problem of people wanting to be a doctor.

> Going against the popular opinion.

> Sure, but when the salaries are too low like they are in Southeastern Europe doctors don't want to schedule surgeries

Nobody is saying to pay doctors according to undeveloped country standards. We're talking about developed countries with similar if not better health outcomes.

These towns are too small to support the higher skill jobs with state of the art universities. They have no means of self-support.

Given standard homeowner's policies don't cover flooding, do they even care? They still get to collect the premiums but aren't exposed to any additional risk.

> As for defendant BTC-e, the indictment alleges that, despite doing substantial business in the United States, BTC-e was not registered as a money services business with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, had no anti-money laundering process, no system for appropriate “know your customer” or “KYC” verification, and no anti-money laundering program as required by federal law.

It's not just about Mt. Gox.

> And many of them make you check in your own luggage, all the way to the belt.

I call this a plus. Waiting to have somebody check your baggage when you could just do it yourself is a vast improvement.

You're supposed to act like you're figuring it out in real time during the interview. They're "seeing how you think". When really you're just trying to recall.

You talk to them, like they're people or something? What is this witchcraft?

But seriously, I do the same thing. Have them look over some broken code for 10 minutes to collect their thoughts then have a discussion about the issues they found and various tangent topics relating to it. I'm amazed how uncommon this is.

Because of or in spite of?

> How many people in US buy iPhone at full price?

Everybody. Anybody who doesn't is buying it on credit. They're still paying the full price (and then some).

"I requested that they deactivate my membership. But when I left, I became a security risk. People I knew made vague threats that I would regret leaving or talking about it. A roommate of mine stopped telling me where he was going when he left the house. Friends whom I trusted contacted me and played stupid about their own involvement in order to suss out what I knew."

When I read they recently raised $500 million I thought that must be a typo. I thought it must have been $50 million. I was wrong, they actually raised $500 million.

It must be tiring living in a state of constant offense.

Wow, that really sucks. So they basically took the old process and just added more to it.

That's the theory but it doesn't work in practice. Interviewing other developers is a skill and it's a skill that most developers don't have.

What does amd64 have anything to do with this?

What is this moralistic view I keep seeing popping up on here about consuming services. Do you not eat at restaurants? Take your car to a mechanic? Use a taxi? Everybody consumes services. Just because we now use apps doesn't magically make it exploitive.

"Because that's how it's always been" is rarely a sound argument.

Idiot has been historically used to mean a mentally disabled person:

> idiot: MEDICINE (archaic): a mentally handicapped person.

Google "euphemism treadmill" for more info.

A good insight into this is to take a look at how e-filing works. It's been several years since I've looked at it but you could find the documentation and XML schema files online from the IRS that companies like Intuit and others use to transmit their e-filings.

From what I recall the XML corresponded one to one with the paper forms. If you think about how the paper forms work it's pretty straight forward. You go top to bottom entering data and making calculations. Sometimes there are rules (if this line is less than X, goto Y) that you would have to write somehow.

As to how they store it I can only speculate. I imagine they're stored as blobs by return/form. I doubt they would be stored in some denormalized form as it seems unnecessary and difficult. They don't need to query across all people's returns at once. They're probably batch processed return by return.

I was just thinking about that. It has this post-apocalyptic feel to it. It's primitive yet advanced at the same time.
