The only people who want to change voting systems are the ones whose preferred candidates don't win.

What's interesting about these practices is that the _best_ candidates will have no patience for this and say "no thankyou" so they're not getting the cream of the crop. Everyone, even an obvious bad fit, should be treated respectfully and the interviewee's time and schedule should be honored.

People should be treated with respect, even if they're not a good fit for the job. This is disgusting behavior on Amazon's part.

Now that we have refrigeration there's no need for "embalming". My family's religious tradition calls for _no_ embalming and burial in an un-adorned, un-finished pine box. This will also save people a lot of money that's simply wasted and better spent on the living.

I don't understand. Isn't Mac OSX "Secure By Design" (that's what they say on their website). How can some ICMP packet take control of every platform they make? Isn't Mach a Microkernel?

Iran has publicly said they want to wipe Israel off the map. The fact that this doesn’t bother you is telling.

Why would you pay people who walk out the same as those who don’t?

How do these protestors know the facts of the matter better than the people who investigated?

It would be an interesting attack if you needed to disable an iPhone.

This one is especially bad, but there's a major problem in general. I have to constantly warn people not to "google" for printer drivers or video drivers, etc, because the links they'll get from any search engine are almost certain to be malware.

This is a "bing" issue, not an "edge" issue.

No. They wrote a fresh version, but they did use an 8080 assembler on a Dec-10.

Most applications today store their preferences in an AppData directory that can be per user, per machine, or per network. The registry is used largely for OS settings.

It's the end, but it would have died anyway. While WordPress's success is amazing, it's still a pile of PHP that requires constant diligence to keep it running safely.

I use it myself for a simple corporate blog, because it's so widely supported and everything else sucks even worse....

700,000 apps were removed for fraud? This probably means most of the free apps you see are shady ad-scams!

What's even more disturbing is that this "gamer" who never worked a day in his life was able to collect government benefits from the Feds and the State of California and live in Section-8 housing while at the same time earning money with swats-for-hire.

The Wichita police are also awful.

Erlang's syntax can be learned in a few hours. The language is very small. How is that a "complex learning curve?"

What's wrong with Erlang, the topic at hand?

I like DruPal’s TV show on MTV

How does this compare to schoolteachers?

Electric Company.

When I shopped for my piano, in Vienna, it was tuned to 443 which was the custom there. It was crated up at the factory and shipped to California where it's been holding its tune.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch#Current_concert_...

A lot of continental Europe uses A=443 today

I found the entire PDF on ResearchGate.

I've played the piano for 50 years (I'm 55), and I do a lot of ear-training practice with software (Ear Master, etc) to keep myself sharp.

I still don't have perfect pitch. Without hearing a reference note, I won't get it.

In some ways, it's good. I keep my Bosendorfer tuned to A=443 and occasionally someone comes over whose used to the American A=440 and it bothers them. It doesn't bother me.

NY times characterizing these protesters as far/right or as “attention starved gamers” is also odd.

$160K tax free is more like $300K in California.

And assuming insurance didn't pay for the pills (this would fall under the category of "stolen" or at least "misappropriated")

Thank you for letting us know.

Can you do this for DTLS, too? :=-)

This is not good advice. Once you threaten to sue, most Big Companies will stop talking to you via customer support channels and make you do everything in writing to their legal department.

Don't do this.
