Yeah, they call it "Operation Newlywed Game" You gotta give them credit on that one.

The government does not force married couples to have sex with each other

Actually, at least for heterosexual marriages, in a lot of places it kind of does, at least once anyway. I've actually looked into this(long story short a Chinese woman was attempting to pay me $10k to marry her, I ultimately turned her down because you know, fraud) and at least in the state of Washington a marriage technically isn't legal until it has been consummated. Whether or not this statute is enforced or not is beyond me, but it's still on the books.

Not just raw numbers, some sort of weighting system would be useful too. A lot of postings I've seen throw in a lot of these technologies as sort of a "nice to have", but don't really require them nor will they most likely be used on the job. However the search engine will still hit upon them, influencing the numbers. TFA has no mention of their methodology or what they define the various positions to be, so I'm guessing their methodology is "search every job posting we have had for certain words and count them".... Wonder if they used map-reduce to do so :P

Latest efforts are focusing in on 2 passengers, a Doctor "Doc" Brown and his apprentice, a Mr. Martin "Marty" McFly. Rumor has it the 2 carried on enough batteries to generate 1.21 gigowatts of electricity, and that the plane slowed to a dangerous 88 miles per hour just before it went missing.

Legion are the devs who string together many words, but forget to have a verb or period at the end.

Yoda-ese 101 as undergrad took glad I am.

If people didn't buy the cell phone through a subsidy, then they might not buy it from the cell phone company at all since there would be more competition. Not only would the cell phone provider lose out on the sale of the phone, they would also probably lose out on the really high-margin accessories/warranties that most providers try to push on customers. This is probably a very significant revenue source for the cell phone companies.

Well, the paradox is that open source and science both depend on peer-reviews, but the only people capable of doing them don't want to do them.

It is....sometimes. The biggest problem with Open Source QA is also one that affects a lot of research, everyone wants to code, nobody wants to be a reviewer/bug fixer.

Look at the HeartBleed bug, there was only one source review before release. There could have been more, but open source suffers from the peer-review paradox: the people with the ability and resources to do thorough reviews are the ones least likely to want to do reviews. Quite simply, there isn't any "glory" in it, and it isn't nearly as much fun as creating new code yourself. Now in big commercial operations, especially web sites, there are large QA departments where everyone has a financial motivation to scrutinize code and find weak spots. Really if companies like Google et. al want to help open source, they shouldn't just contribute code, they should donate their QA team's time and talents to doing really thorough reviews on critical open-source code before it's merged into the main branch.

See, in Japan, food like that just doesn't exist.

Um, Um, yes it does

Um, you do realize that while the ios market share isn't as high as Android's, Apple actually sells more smartphone handsets than any manufacturer besides Samsung? So yeah, according to your logic Pepsi should just pack it up because they are #2 to Coke. No point in continuing on.

Except for that's not how it's panning out in places like Colorado and the Netherlands, where it's largely smaller growers who are making money....

Yes, it is quite large, in relative terms. The city of Pittsburgh is only about 30,000 people, meaning the % of the population in those 2 centers alone accounts for roughly 1% of the population. And since almost all those people are outsiders, the demand for real estate has had a sudden, pronounced spike since although the employees at those 2 corporations only represent about 1% of the population, they represent a much larger % of the population looking for housing, since at any given moment most people are staying put. Staying put that is until their landlord does everything in his/her power to boot them so they can rent out to someone who is more profitable.

Maybe someone can explain what they actually tested here(besides reaction time), the paper and the summary both state that they matched players of similar skill level but found the younger players were better....well then if that is really the case you didn't match players of similar skill levels did you? If they are at the same skill level then how is the younger player any "better"? They seem to be quantifying it by measuring reaction time, but is a faster reaction time always better, especially if the results are the same? Maybe the older players are taking slightly longer to consider their options rather than just clicking like mad.... I'm not sure what they are trying to say here.

Heh, actually SF-like phenomenons are happening pretty much anywhere these tech companies locate. As someone who was born and raised in Pittsburgh and now is living in Tokyo after a stint in Europe, I was just curious to see how condos in Pittsburgh compare to what there is in Tokyo...and I was shocked. I was expecting them to be much, much cheaper but the reality was quite different. Tokyo was more expensive, but not by that much. I was talking with a friend(another ex-Pittsburgher) and he reminded me that both Apple and Google have recently opened relatively large campuses in Pittsburgh. This is what probably sent housing prices sky-high, the owners of these housing complexes knew that a lot of money was going to come streaming in. I cannot imagine this is sitting well with a lot of the poorer residents of the city...
