But arguably, these species weren't supposed to be here "naturally", so isn't this unnatural? Doesn't this make an unnatural method to stop something unnatural okay?

Also, if introduced/invasive species taking over a region is "evolution" etc, then the virus will just be another invasive species and the rabbits will have to face the consequences of evolution

I am probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but, do these games work over windows?

You have been directly managing over a hundred people? That just sounds like textbook bad heirarchy

A good counter argument to Comments:

Exactly, because you don't want every future reader of the code to have the same question.

This is why I hate implicit assumptions. If I need some special knowledge or some special assumption that is no where in the immediate vicinity of the code, then maybe your approach to the problem is flawed. Sure it'll work but good luck to future coders working with it

I have almost no idea about the Ethereum system, but don't you have to pay to have your code executed on the global ethereum machine? Does that mean I have to pay to test run my code? or maybe after I deploy it?

I thought this was a standard. I have been seeing this in play since highschool guest speaker sessions

I would disagree. My boss has the record of fastest promotion of junior developer to executive and he fights for us against other department/team heads and upper management on a regular basis. Its because he makes sure to deliver such value to the company that the management can't ignore him and his team

> Open Source = more likely for attackers to find bugs, but less likely for bugs to persist. Don't need to trust the company's reputation for code quality.

But you need to trust the entire community not to insert bugs/backdoors and/or weed out such code. Not to mention Open Source contributors arguably have a lesser incentive than closed-source development being done by a company.

Ofc the above argument assumes contributors are allowed to make changes to the codebase, instead of just reviewing the code

I agree. At some point they should stop considering FF users as "well they aren't OUR users" in the cost benefit equation. They have to acknowledge that FF has a big chunk of the market and it should be part of the "Browsers we test on" list.

Considering the features work fine on FF, the actual costs for testing on FF should be minimal.

These are very interesting considering how they show the xact opposite side of the OP's debate.

I find it very amusing when articles quote someone to support their arguments even though the person actually disagrees with their PoV

Is this real?

In his Memoirs, Nixon admitted that the key factor in the decision not to proceed with the nuclear option was that "after all the protests and the Moratorium, American public opinion would be seriously divided by any military escalation of the war."

Then that is concrete proof of nuclear considerations

Apparently, X will have to supply Y with all dividends thus making Y's position exactly the same as owning a share. I think the only difference is that Y can't sell the share? Then again, it can sell the IOU of the share to someone, and it probably costs the same as the share...

Irony: I am getting a "This site can be reached".

How did you control for player level? I imagine novice games show a different pattern than grand master games

Am I the only one who read the name and thought this was a porn site?

I think the service would reach a greater audience with a simpler name.

(Btw I still don't get how the creator wants me to read the name and what it means)

This resonates with me. I realize I usually need some me time when I get home from work before I am ready to spend time with people. And I realize I end up very stressed if for some reason I get denied this down time.

I feel the same way.

Recently I was facing a lot of escalating work-related stress that was spilling over to my home life. So I invested in a xbox 360 gamepad and started playing a lot of indie games on my laptop.

Best part of my day! Completely takes the stress away and I feel "recovered" when I go back to work the next day.

Random Game Suggestion: Mages of Mysteralia. I love how it lets you craft your own spells like drag-and-drop programming. So it touches TWO of my childhood loves

There is a very interesting Podcast on the tipping vs service fee debate on Freakonomics:

http://freakonomics.com/podcast/danny-meyer/

It shows how the "Hospitality Included" program removed tips from their restaurants. I guess its not always the idea, but also how you implement it. Instacart tried to do the same thing but appear to have totally botched it up

Or I could just find a way to lower my costs.

Also, this applies to the skills of the employee. If your skills aren't good enough that people would pay top dollar for them, then you should find something else to do.

it sucks, but that's the way it works.

The web app seems plain ugly now. the mobile UI is so much better

Wait, is GP saying that IS true in php?!?!

> Also, I realized how incredibly hard I suck at drawing.

This. I drew an Ant but the system couldn't guess it. Later it showed me how normal people draw ants.

Man, i suck at drawing ants

So I logged out of facebook and tried this tool again. Apparently it still shows that I am logged into facebook.

I tried opening different facebook pages and it detects that I am logged out but the tool still thinks I am logged in.

Any guesses why?

So I tried out Maya and I just gotta say, great stuff! You ask for the bare minimum stuff, deduce the rest yourself, let the user play around with the numbers and give them an instant quote. Insurance is something a lot of people find intimidating and hard to approach as customers, and you have made it as simple as possible, explaining each item in an easy-to-understand way, letting the user know exactly what they signing up for, how much they are paying, and what they are getting.

Impressive! Good luck to you guys.

haha! That's an unusual example but I suppose it works.

An actual user typed follow up email does wonders.

Recently, Postach.io did a comeback with the service where they started out by mass-emailing inactive users what problems they are facing about the service. I emailed them expecting an automated "Thank you for your time" response.

Instead, a while later I got a custom email talking about the very specific issue I had emailed about and how they had been getting complains about the same from other users and how they are working to resolve this issue.

That made me feel they actually cared about my problems. Needless to say, I am on board!

Exactly what I thought when he brought up playing videos from android phones on Samsung TV's. The whole thing works, but only when your TV and phone are from the same vendor

I gifted all books of A Song of Ice and Fire (hard coopies) to a friend. The sad part is he hasn't read them yet, even though he loves books and he loves the show

I know right? The fact that the metric makes absolute sense is beautiful. Yes it probably misses out on a ton of factors that contribute to ranking (see TIOBE index metrics) but the transparency and simplicity of it all make up for it. You can directly see how each metric is contributing to the factor and the numbers are very easily verifiable.
