Most employment contracts do not consider loyalty. Typically, either side has the explicit right to terminate the relationship at any time, for any reason.

The name gives it away. The pro edition is for professionals.

You parallelize and pipeline.

There won't be many cd players left before long.

Brute-search is not idiotic testing. It is many times much faster to automate the search and then to move on to the next level/parameter (where you may get to start exploring again).

Nah, casinos typically seek monopoly status; but, it is easy to run your own games as well.

My point is that the two programs are not so similar.

One is about bettering community projects, the other is explicitly about creating projects for Amazon to commercially exploit. I'd say it is similar to other corporate hackathons.

Isn't the Summer of Code for working on an existing open source project?

This competition is about producing a SocialBot that Amazon will exploit.

"these"? I don't know what that refers to.

No one has argued that there is a lower than average ROI (you get paid for not eating?) from exercise.

Where have those physics been documented?

I want to see the same person:

    'immobile
    'sitting most of the time, with short commutes and shopping trips
    'intensely exercising 1 hr a day
    'actively working out throughout the day

while maintaining their current diet and weight.

People should make their own decisions.

Here are the USDA's macronutrients dietary reference intake guidelines, with notes on adverse effects of excessive consumption: https://fnic.nal.usda.gov/sites/fnic.nal.usda.gov/files/uplo...

I don't see any potato in that salad.

There is at least one person in these comments extolling the virtues of keto viz a viz quick weight loss without exercise.

I don't know what a normal low fat diet is, but the overruling factor in weight loss/gain is the ratio of work (exercise) to energy input (calories).

The 'assumption' about saturated fat is not careless. Increasing saturated fat intake increases total plasma and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.

Chaos monkey is a simulation, I believe.

The user experience is pleasant as well. Nothing better than your dependency breaking at 4PM on Friday with no support until Monday.

Sorry, I must have edited that out when I put it to screen.

The estimate appeared in Facebook's 2014 10-K filing.

You misunderstood. Nowhere was it implied that we shouldn't be excited about anything.

WhatsApp users were estimated to have a seven year useful life at the time of their sale. Facebook will want a profit on them, but if the estimate was accurate, there are only five years left until they are used up. Facebook may become increasingly desperate to transfer any remaining users into their primary product.

What if the battery terminal/wing is hit by lightning?

Well, all that careful curation has now been fully filtered away.

If the tweets were being retweeted, then they were being filtered unless every tweet was retweeted equally.

Things get bad even before extractors enter the picture [0]; just a disadvantage in strategy update rate will result in the formation of cartel structures.

The economy will function as long as there are sufficient physical resources and human will. Finance cannot kill it.

I doubt many pieces dropping into a bin right now could handle something like 32k on a 16-inch tablet.

For one, support of larger interfaces.

A mobile processor from five years ago is going to have a rough time trying to run 4k GUIs at 60fps.

How is that a problem? What about the giant debris field left?

You can take time when you need it. Why do you need two careers? Aren't programming and writing the same thing? Take a break from one for a week or two and use that time to talk to yourself.

Fiction books are another era's addiction, if you believe the theses being presented here.

We don't know if we have accurate fatality numbers for Teslas though. IIRC, the first fatality was unreported for a couple months.

What do you mean?
