There's no reason it has to be only accessible to USPS.
And what's wrong with just using the standard, taxpayer-funded postal service for everything? It's a useful service where it makes absolutely no sense to duplicate effort and waste everyone's time, money and patience with competition on a pretty simple service.
Every other sane country just has a single, taxpayer-owned postal service..
>A generation later, fewer mathematicians would be bothered by this form of "uglyness".
I totally disagree. Mathematicians haven't changed at all. Ugly proofs are still considered.. well.. ugly. Machine proofs are still considered at least inferior to 'proper' proofs at the best, and downright suspect at the worst.
>In other words, should Tiamen Square be de-indexed globally because free speech in China does not require it. Should torrent trackers be de-indexed--free speech does not require illegal file sharing, after all? What about bit torrent clients? Tor browser?
The Canadian courts are not saying 'you must remove these results', not really. They're saying 'you must remove these results or not operate in Canada', effectively.
If China said 'hey google, remove Tianammen Sq from all of your results, not just China' Google could simply refuse to do so. If they did, they probably want to get the hell out of China.
If a court somewhere ruled that torrent clients should be removed from all global search results, then it would be up to Google whether they want to continue operating in that jurisdiction. If they do, then they are subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Should torrent trackers be de-indexed? Who cares? It's not about should. It's not about what is ideal. It's about what is and is not.
Grocery stores are directly selling things to you, and they cost different amounts based on their costs to the grocery stores, handling requirements, etc.
ISPs are like mail services: a letter is a letter is a letter. A package is a package is a package. And a packet is a packet is a packet.
-pedantic-errors -Wall -Werror isn't used in the wild because it breaks whenever a new compiler comes out. New compilers often come out with new warnings, new cases for old warnings, etc. It's not forwards-compatible to make warnings errors.
You should release your code with no warnings on the current compiler, but new warnings shouldn't break everything.
The problem I have with these sorts of articles is that they have a clear agenda behind them. Okay, so they used binary numbers 600 years ago. But why is that posted here? It's not because it's interesting. It's like a 'hey look they were ahead of us on one thing' sort of thing. Which isn't true, obviously.
>That argument might have worked in back in the day when the iPhone was only available on AT&T but not in a world where the iPhone is available to more people than it ever has been before.
The iPhone is incredibly expensive. While you and your rich software developer friends might have iPhones, the vast majority of phones sold are not iPhones. They're Android phones. You can get an Android phone for $50 or less. You cannot get an iPhone for much under $1000 in NZ.
I think the key thing for people to realise is that none of what you just said has anything to do with women.
Meet your direct manager. Make sure you get along with them. Make sure people give off 'good vibes' i.e. you get along with them. Talk to people, get to know them.
This is just basic people skills. The interview is about you evaluating them as much as it is about them evaluating you.
No pressure to socialise with coworkers? What kind of law firm is this? Lawyers are by a huge margin the most social people I know. I know a lot of lawyers, and not one of them doesn't go out for social drinks on a Friday at 430...
