That was true before the days of disposable servers. Today, when it breaks, drop it from the pool of working systems.
The replacement servers come from somewhere.

If customer A consistently gives lower-than-average ratings, scale their reviews upward to that a "3" from them is a "5" from someone else. If they consistently give "5" rating but give a "1" to a particular driver, then pay attention to that deviation.
Same for drivers: if B frequently gives "1" ratings to passengers, then that's a roundabout way of saying that B is a difficult jerk and you can ignore those.
Why is 8GB overkill? I put at least 16 in anything I have control over.
I can't speak to Android, but Apple still supports and issues updates to the three year old iPhone 4S. Microsoft sometimes just walks away from stuff.
The enlightened self interest angle is that I don't want corporations treating H-1Bs like crap, because it enables the companies to get them for cheap, which depresses salaries in my career path. I want companies to have to treat H-1B visa holders well because 1) it's the right thing to do, and 2) so that I'm not competing against guys who'll work for 2/3 my salary for fear of being deported.
that is not factual in any way and doesn't help.
Precisely what I was thinking about your woefully inaccurate claim.
again, facts are important.
Correct, which is why I choose to believe the facts instead of naive misintrepetations off the Internet.
LOL that's precious. Meanwhile, the H-1B employees I know - my personal friends, people I hang out with and trust - describe a legal hellscape that's pretty much exactly indentured servitude. One of them managed to escape a bad situation by hooking up with a major corporation who could expedite the process to have the transfer done within a couple of months. That's two months of walking on eggshells so that they didn't get fired and deported. Another wasn't quite as lucky and had to ship out to the European branch of their new employer so that they can come back to America in a year or so, presuming everything is in order by then.
You're on crack if you think an H-1B isn't a recipe for suckishness. Regardless of what it hypothetically sounds like on paper, the situations I witnessed firsthand were terrible for the workers involved.
Python has a PEP (think RFC) for that. It says:
Use 4 spaces per indentation level. [...] Spaces are the preferred indentation method. Tabs should be used solely to remain consistent with code that is already indented with tabs.
That's the the near-universal style almost everyone used anyway, so it was more of a hypothetical than practical issue anyway.
I also disagree about C being "incredibly complex for a beginner".
One of the things I disliked about a data structures class using C was that you had to learn a fair amount of boilerplate and memory management to get up and running. Those are important things, but it's a frustratingly steep learning curve when you're more interested in a structure or an algorithm than you in the language. For example, here's a complete, working linked list in Python:
.class Node(object):
. value = None
. next = None
.
.head = Node(); head.value = 123
.second = Node(); second.value = 456; head.next = second
.tail = Node(); tail.value = 789; second.next = tail
.
.node = head
.while node:
. print node.value
. node = node.next
I don't mind C, but it's way too easy to get distracted by coordinating all the moving parts, so that you lose focus on the problem you're trying to solve.
5) Uses Intels new-ish RDRAND instruction for a higher quality random number gen as the basis for ASLR
The ones that FreeBSD de-emphasized due to security concerns?
It seems that more and more mathematicians are using a new, high level language named "research student".
