I see you haven't used/been forced to use IE in a while :)

> rather high barriers to entry.

About 55 million kilometers/34 million miles high at least.

Probier's mal mit Gemütlichkeit!

No idea what the song is in English, though :)

Of the current world tour [1]: five.

  * BMC RACING TEAM
  * CANNONDALE PRO CYCLING TEAM
  * LAMPRE - MERIDA
  * TEAM GIANT - ALPECIN
  * TREK - SEGAFREDO

(I may have missed some)

But note that many if not all teams are sponsored by manufacturers (frames, wheels, geartrain, etc).

Edit: five. Forgot Merida.

> with one simple idea in mind

Please stop pretending you're not doing this for marketing. IntelliJ is all over "social media" (who would have thought you've already submitted this on Reddit, too [1]) and is constantly pushing a campaign for its products. That's very fine by me – but don't pretend it's not advertisement.

In my country in bigger cities, there's gigabit fiber connections available to home consumers at affordable rates. And my 802.11n can't saturate this.

Coverage is steadily increasing, too, so WiFi or 'LiFi' technologies like this will become more and more important.

He went to the UK, but strictly speaking isn't in the country - he's in the Equadorian embassy, and doesn't leave it.

> I don't know how well this works in practice,

As soon as you don't control the whole thing end-to-end, i.e. from the user entering the data to printing it on an envelope: it won't work at all. It would require every program in the whole chain to accept this "big blob", which is simply not going to happen.

"I wonder if there were a way to track per-reddit karma"

This already exists: each user has a "show karma breakdown by subreddit" link on the profile page for exactly this.

"hopefully this infusion of cash will let them hire devs …"

They shouldn't need additional developers for these features (unless all the existing ones left?), seems to me that these things should be doable fairly quickly.

> Most students take 12 credit hours per semester and only attend Fall and Spring semester. That’s 24 credit hours per year.

24 credits a year?! I am curious, is this really the norm in the US? At the universitiy I attended in mainland Europe you were excpected to do 30 credits each semester, so 60 CP a year.

Yeah, I got the same with the down key..

   not a valuable mindset at an early startup?

This is what irks me, too. The startup I was working at (somewhere in Europe) was always short on money (there wasn't any VC funding), and I get it that this meant having to cut corners anywhere. But then the owner started to outfit every new employee with the latest mac book and a cinema display - for roughly 9000$. I had a (good) Thinkpad and a standard 24" monitor for a third of that price. Why they decided to throw out that much money on Apple while I couldn't order a spare keyboard I don't know.

epoll() (or its predecessor poll()) is a kind of low-level API function, whereas polymorphism is a general and fundamental programming concept.

Now there's a bright mind with (possibly) a more-than-good job offer.

Only 3/5 for me - the other two times I got "502 Bad Gateway".
