This might be misleading. Germany has something named "mini job" or "400 euro job", where you are paid exactly 400 euro which barely covers the groceries and the rent for a room. A lot of young people have such a job, and this keeps the unemployment rate low.

That won't solve anything. Let's say that you leave London and 10:00 UTC, and land in another city at 15:00 UTC. Do you go to dinner? Breakfast? Can you schedule the business meeting at 17:30 UTC or this is just after midnight?

Just get an extra clock and keep it in UTC.

I guess that it depends on the ISP (for general area location) or the Wi-Fi SSID and MAC (for exact location). I just ran an HTML5 geolocation demo http://html5demos.com/geo from my wi-fi connected laptop, and the location is less than a couple of meters off. It even shows the correct corner of the building, where my apartment is.

But could Python really take advantage of asm.js? I think that this is more useful for compiling statically typed languages (C/C++/... maybe TypeScript?) to JavaScript.

What austerity are you talking about? The governments still spend much more money than they have. When you have no money, taking a loan to buy a 60" plasma TV instead of an 80" one does not mean austerity.

It's probably generating "white noise" which covers the other noises. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUwEiMNhOCM

That benchmark is for algorithms implemented in pure Python and in pure Go. But for real projects, a Python programmer might use several libraries which are written in C.

I hope that they keep the Long Term Support versions, for which they used to provide updates for up to 5 years.

Well, regarding yout API example, Python 3 introduces function annotations which let you specify the types of the parameters and of the return value. These types are not checked by the interpreter, leaving this job to the programmer (or framework).

Then we must increase the liability. When patent owners want to sue for damages worth $1000000, make them pay $1000000 in a 3rd party bank account BEFORE that.

If they win, then they get their money back plus the damages. If they lose, then the defendants can pay their legal costs from those $1000000 (and the reminder goes back to the patent owner).

It depends on how large the code base is. Rewriting a 10k LOC project isn't a big deal, compared to a 10 mln one. And a rewrite doesn't have to target performance only, but ease of maintenance too.

Yes, but it can also use several channels. This plus the AC standard becoming more popular will lead to overcrowding in 5 GHz also.

2.4 GHz has 3 non-overlapping 20 MHz channels.

5 GHz has about 23 non-overlapping 20 MHz channels.

Both go through walls, so you will get interference from neighbouring apartments no matter what technology you implement. The only solutions are to use a much higher frequency, or shield your apartment walls.

Well, I see that they offer to "Install the Ask toolbar" by default. I don't remember Sun doing this.

Not good for a house, but very useful for apartments in large buildings. You can have one wireless AP in each room (connected to eachother with wires), and almost no interference from the neighbours.

As a first step, you could expand to other JVM languages (like Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, ...)

There are two different projects. What you're talking about is the Ubuntu for Android.

But it's limited for 1 or 2 years. After that you have to pay if you want that extra storage.

If men can't develop empathy, why does the (old) war propaganda show women and children who need to be protected from the "evil enemy"? How come a man can willingly sacrifice himself for the common good? And yes, a man does create life, together with a woman.

Now,

- could it be that men are over-represented on the both ends of the spectrum(s)? Genius - Retard? Empathic - Cold blooded murderer? and so on...

- how much funding do men related healthcare programs get? ie: "Obamacare" goes to great lengths to avoid mentioning "men" at all

- how many mass shooter men were being raised by a single mother? How does the lack of a father affect a boy?

- how does the increased age of a woman giving birth affect the mental health of a child?
