I didn't say generics were bad. I said compilation is so fast that I didn't notice it.

While I agree that "strictly" your assessment is corect it's more complex, I think you're being a bit literal; it's just another command. most of my builds have hundreds of commands.
Disagree (on the second part). Rather than giving you the equivalent of a walk-up pop quiz on a random topic, they are giving you followup questions and discussions on code that the candidate wrote recently.

That seems quite a bit more representative of regular work than a pop quiz. Yes, you still need to be able to talk live about code with other developers. That's unchanged and shouldn't change, IMO.
As far as I can tell, gun owners are no more thrilled about irresponsible drone operators as we are about irresponsible gun owners.

We also tolerate, more or less, licencing to carry loaded guns outside our dwellings, which this sort of drone licencing could resemble (same generally goes for cars and other motor vehicles). The increasing spread of "constitutional carry", no license required, with Maine just being added a day or two ago, is based on a lack of problems with licensed concealed carry. Which is the opposite of the drone situation, with problems steadily increasing.

And while I recognize the humor you're applying here, your short description of the situation with gun control doesn't really capture the reality. We've been fighting this since right after the Civil War, restrictions on freedmen a large part of the reason for the subsequently judicially nullified 14th Amendment. Ignoring a lot of anti-immigrant state level legislation, FDR then tried to license all handguns with a $3,500 in 2015 dollars transfer "tax", and since, oh, the '50s-'60s, the fundamental argument has been over whether we'd be allowed to possess any guns, with Obama and Hillary! just now calling for mass confiscation of all handguns and semi-auto long guns. I'm not aware of confiscations being on the table with drones, although that could quickly change if/when one brings down an airliner.

And from the view of the FAA, it makes only so much difference if a jet engine injects a big drone vs. a big drone carrying a dense gun.

But I am continuely amused by perceptions of our political power, which comes from at least two things: there are a zillion of us and we vote, and we have been motivated by a lot of government atrocities starting in the early '70s, plus, as noted above, a clear existential threat. The drone situation today currently lacks every single element of our history, but I can imagine murderous enforcement of these coming regulations changing some of that.
"LE" is identified more with "Limited Edition," I think. At least in the US.
And those level headed folks who are prepared to think and reach a conclusion based on empirical facts are a distinct minority - as a sibling post relates, most will follow the perceived direction of the herd - and the broad perception in the UK is that the EU is an evil monster who took our jobs and gave prisoners luxury sports cars and the immigration and the gets breathless.

I struggle to see how a referendum won't end up with an out vote. The "out" campaign is oriented around emotion. The "in" campaign is oriented around rationale and logic. People act based on emotion.
A lot of good answers below already so I won't state the same things again. I do want give a different insight though.
9 out of 10 times, HR is waiting for an answer from the Hiring Manager/ interviewing team/ department head/ etc. Just because HR (or; recruitment) is your main contact point (or; messenger), this doesn't mean they are the cause of the delay.

(there is no excuse for not communicating that there is a delay, or nor answering your call of course).

In your case; contact a different person from HR/recruitmment or the interviewers, just to make sure your contact person isn't on holiday/sick leave/ fired/whatever. I'm afraid that's the only thing you can do. If your contact person is still working there but not responding, odds are high you didn't get the job. (still push for receiving feedback though).

Well, time is "synonymous" with change. So talking about events before "change" began is indeed not meaningful. But it is still meaningful to ask if there was change before the point where most people think there was no change.
You are right, they have the same potential.

But there are different organizational issues. Companies can keep more of their operating details private. This makes it harder for the public to investigate a privately run prison than a publicly run prison.

Private jails also add an extra level of finger-pointing, which makes it hard to determine who is ultimately responsible for operational policies. In a locally run prison, it's easy to figure out who is responsible. But if the jail is run by a large company, then "it's policy" becomes a disturbingly frustrating answer, as any follow-up question will be answered with "take it up with corporate".

Some of these organization issues make it more difficult for a publicly run organization than a private on to achieve the same level of corruption.
I have a hunch that this may play out in a similar way the Scottish Independence Referendum did last year.

It is in the interest of business and the elite to stay in, while there is significant popular opinion and some small businesses that want out.

If in the run up to the actual vote things are looking close, as they did in Scotland, the side campaigning to stay in will wheel out the big shots (former PMs, captains of industry etc.) and throw money at the problem - resulting, I suspect, in a narrow win to stay in.

Right now we don't even have a date for the referendum, so it's too early to be expending resources like that.
Why are so many people in Tech afraid to consult with attorneys? This article, from a legal point of view, is nonsense. There are three elements to an American contract and all of them were met. If the author suffered damages, e.g., funds expended in preparation for a move, quitting his other job, etc. he would have an action for damages against the company that "reneged." In a legal analysis, the synonym for "renege" is breach. And where a contract has been breached and there are damages, they will be awarded. There is no "email exception" to rules governing contract formation.

I don't accept your premise -- there are no rights predicated on a Fields medal. At the same time you do make a point, my comment could and should have been more constructive.

I find that the cavalcade of stimulus/fMRI/"We've discovered the part of the brain responsible for beauty/truth/Tea Party/etc." studies, as a class, to be poorly designed experiments which add little to the broad base of scientific knowledge. I am always skeptical if these studies (and I always get voted down.)

I think the mass of these fMRI studies are much like the man looking for his keys under the streetlight. He's not looking there because they're likely to be there, but because that's the only place he can see.
It really makes me wonder if life started multiple times independently.

I guess certain molecules essential to life are right or left-handed, and if life started several times independently, we should (statistically) see both types of handedness. So then the question is: why didn't life start multiple times independently?

So how much notice did you get that your employee would need to leave the UK? Was it that their visa was suddenly withdrawn, or was it that their visa was expiring but you hoped (but ultimately failed) to get it renewed?

I'm only asking because I haven't really come across this before - I know of cases where there's a lot of effort to get a visa but, generally, once they've got one, it's been pretty smooth.
Dis you hear about the CIA AOL mail box hacked ? Watch out for "social" intelligence. Other people could get the info you are checking and pretending to be the company.
but 250 people got shot yesterday and any legislation about firearms is off limits.

Further legislation is "off limits"; you're ignoring the "20,000" gun laws already on the books and the severe restrictions we gun owners are already living under. Something tells me you won't like getting a fraction of these applied to you.

Can't talk about registration or "tests" or anything

Why bother with that precursor to confiscation when Obama after Oregon and Hillary! during the debate called for mass confiscation of all handguns and semi-auto long guns?

(More generally, registration has gotten about as far as it's going to go short of sparking the 2nd Civil War, and the plaintiff's bar has what's covered by legitimate testing under control, as Remington is experiencing with their shoddy Model 700 rifle safeties.)

Meanwhile, in the time it takes them to draft their first proposal 7,000+ people will get shot. A few thousand will die.

Most gun fatalities are suicides; I'm not aware of suicide by drone existing, let alone being a major issue.
I think the only way new browsers are going to succeed in the future is if they adopt some major new technology that the mainstream browsers either will never use, or will wait many years until they consider it. Perhaps something like IPFS or some blockchain technology, or anything like that, that is proven to work well but the mainstream browsers still think it's too new and risky, or perhaps just don't want to piss of the MPAA, which by the way, is now a member of the W3C.

The new browsers will need to allow for significant new possibilities, for users to want to adopt them.
Or use the money that would go to such a system and instead direct it towards increased social services, to help reduce the number of people who commit crimes and enter the prison system in the first place.

One thing I found funny was that when Obama was pushing through the Affordable Care Act in the US, the GOP was scaring their voters with visions of nationalized hospitals. Around the same time, here in Poland, the right-wing-ish PiS party was scaring its voters with visions of privatized health care.

Yes, ideally those human rights would be provided for by the government. However, there is too much food poverty and lack of medical insurance, even in developed nations, for me to accept this to be the case.
His problem was that he kept pulling out the vaporizer for a few quick puffs, which added up to a lot more than the extended smoking sessions cigarettes require.

Try as they might, physicists haven't found any way to adjust it that allows for an infinite time while also being consistent with so many observed phenomena. Of course we could make up an ad hoc model that says "It just is" but the big bang model is more consistent with observation than anything else we have.

We don't have freedom to just change it. We first have to find a possible valid way to change it and nobody has. Also nobody's found a way to fuel a car with water, fly on magic carpets or travel back in time to meet our grandparents. It might turn out to be impossible. Would you bet on those things happening one day? As another commenter said, your intuition is no match for nature - it's based on human's very narrow experience of the world, our inability to see how limited the concepts we can imagine are and our arbitrary biases for the ideas we like at the expense of ones we don't understand.

Then, unless you are positing some kind of outside force, the free-will-mechanism is also a natural force and a component of our brains

Of course, it's both, we're part of nature!!!

describing it as "free will" is not really sensible, since it is neither "free" except in a very limited sense nor a "will"

That's nothing more than semantic juggling. I've defined precisely what I understand as freedom, not an esoteric concept at all, but the absence of obstacles. You just ignored it, invoking exactly the falacy I mentioned: "except in a very limited sense". Why is it "very limited"? You don't even try to justify that qualification.

And "not a will"? Oh, come on! What is your definition of will? Something that has no causation? Of course our will is caused, by instincts based on natural needs: food, sex, group bonds, in the aspiration to dignity, improvement and solidarity. We're not free in a vacuum, but free to decide what means lead more effectively to goals and a personality that are given to us.

With free will, the problem is complicated by the fact that people do have a feeling of free will.

No, that's the most simple and truthful intuition. The complication comes from people trying to apply abstractions out of place and concluding that nothing heavier than air can fly.

Interesting that the article specifically mentions that the solar panels feed and inverter first, and then power the refrigerator. There are refrigerators designed to work directly off of 24V DC, which would seem to be a more logical choice.

http://m.alibaba.com/showroom/24v-refrigerator-compressor.ht...

These are less common, though. Maybe cheaper commodity prices for AC-powered compressors offsets the additional inverter cost and efficiency losses?
This method is computationally very intensive. Betti numbers are hard to estimate from data, statistically speaking.
The word "patent" always sounds better than "guaranteed monopoly", yet there is no fundamental difference. With respect to drug patents, I think the French system has a good system:

- Option 1: you sell the drug at whatever market price you want but no patent will be granted and anyone is free to copy the drug.

- Option 2: you receive a patent protection for you drug but you must defend the price at which you want to sell in a bargaining round with the government. In essence, it's a compromise where you as a drug manufacturer can recoup your costs, and where the people don't overly get taken advantage of in life-or-death situations.

Malta has the reputation of being the easiest to acquire EU citizenship.

It's unlikely that Germany would be one of the easiest, as it requires 8 years of permanent residence to become a citizen. After living in Germany for 8 years it's unlikely you'd still want to move to the UK anyway, as you would have learnt the language and have come to appreciate the higher quality of living.

I guess if certain particles essential to matter as we know it are either particles or anti-particles, and if matter coalesced several times independently, we should see both types of matter ;)

The main difference between particles/antiparticles and chirality, though, is life tends to extinguish other life in its competition for replication. Antiparticles just tend to annihilate 1:1.

The way to actually save money, if that's the goal, is to try not to want full-fledged word processors and office suites.

For most internal communication, plain text or something like RTF at most is more than sufficient.

Trying to replace Word and Office with cheaper or open is doomed, because Office is far ahead of everything else, and everything else will be judged for not being Office.

Open source's best contribution could be a standardized simple text format.

it's wholly and completely predictable

Predictabilty hasn't anything to do with freedom either.

it should then follow that a perfect computer model of someone's brain would make the exact same decisions as that person

So what?

In other words, we don't actually make any decisions for ourselves. It's all determined by chemistry.

Nonsense. We are the chemistry, we are our brains. Are we "determined" by ourselves?

the fact they shot their wife was actually nothing they could have had any control over, and it's very unfair to lock them away for 30 years

That comes from the ancient and barbaric conception of penal justice as retribution. Punishment is a disincentive and the very right thing to do to prevent crime.

Edit: also that's again the faked duality. "...nothing they could have any control over" as if the subject is a pure soul completely apart from the universe and its forces. The subject is part of the universe, exactly the part of the universe that could have any control over killing or not killing. We put that part of the universe behind bars to prevent it from killing again and sending a message to other parts of the universe that could feel tempted to do the same. Also, in theory, to try to modify that part of the universe so it wont kill again.

I don't see where I said that heroin wasn't addictive: I said quite the opposite. If your objection is that I didn't use scaremongering phrases which have no scientific meaning, like "highly addictive", I did that intentionally. Scaremongering language does not improve the dialogue around heroin use and criminalization.
