This is a terrible idea. if you don't want to read this article just move on and ignore it instead of ranting about it here.

Terry Gilliam is not quite dead yet.

When we moved to the UK from the USA back in the nineties I remember my dad waking up late for work because he plugged his alarm clock into a voltage converter that did not also change the frequency. Do those even exist for consumers? Fun times...

Visual Studio has to be the best debugger for python when you maintain a large code base of C/Fortan that you call from CPython with tons of callback functions, as we do in my group at a âoesmallâ aerospace company based in a Chicago.

NumPy is built on the BLAS/LAPACK and is way more useful for doing true numerical work. You should check out William Kahan's website for a good critique on why Java is completely unacceptable for numerical code. https://people.eecs.berkeley.e...

I have a 2014 Subaru Forester with EyeSight (their adaptive (stereoscopic based) cruise control with lane departure warning system). The adaptive cruise control is amazing. I like using it in traffic on I-5 in Seattle (I said Subaru, didn't I?) and it works really well at dealing with people cutting in/stopped cars in front of me. My one complaint is when you come to a complete stop it times out and disables the system. You now have a vehicle that is idling in drive. There is an audible beep to warn you that the system is turning off, but I think I would prefer the ability to control the time out period to something more than 5 seconds.

Side lobes? Must be a Ferengi thing...

And the military does not exist in its own reality distortion field. I know of no other line of work in this country where failure to show up for work results in a prison sentence.

A career in the military is not the same as a career anywhere else. In their situation the ability to be bribed by the enemy is too great a risk. In industry that's what NDAs and non-compete clauses are for.

Employees with a mountain of debt are less likely to cause trouble for their employer, as the employee's debt must be serviced, especially education debt in the US.

It is, for all intents and purposes, a rather relaxed version of indentured servitude, considering the overall lack of mobility in the job market.

By my calculations we could replace every elected member of the federal government within 6 years. Where does 18 come from?

oh, and don't forget the aqueducts

Precisely what you would expect to hear from a tea party nut that has never worked in the public sector. Thank you. Keep up the good work being a shill for the Koch brothers and their ilk. It is only a matter of time before the super-rich (who are the only ones to truly benefit from Tea Party ideals) come after you and make your life miserable.

Why doesn't Amazon implement this system and make money off all the other schmucks how won't do this task themselves?

reminds me of a friend's copy of Nevermind by the band Nirvaba (sic) that he picked up in South East Asia when he was living there.
