Very impressive, actually.

More impressive are the guys walking around during all that swaying as if they were on coffee brake.

You write about an application yet not a link to the project's website in the article.

I find this very useful.

To add more value, add another column that gives how much of a given food source an average-sized adult needs to eat to get the recommended daily intake.

Power? Doubtful. Prevalence of Islam? Maybe.

However, just watching another person destroy your homeland can tick most people off.

And in virtually all those cases, there's a link to the target's actions against something the terrorists hold dear.

Terrorist activity in India? Look to Kashmir.

In Russia? The Russians fought their own war on terrorism before we went into Afghanistan. In some ways going into Afghanistan diverted fighters streaming into Chechnya to fight the Russian army to Afghanistan. We gave them a target they hated more than they hated the Russians. From reports, many of the best fighters on the side of ISIS are Chechens.

The Russians, by the way, are still fighting terrorists.

And whether these wars are "internal affairs" or not is immaterial.

Missing in media reports about these things is the connection between action (our foreign military mis-adventures) and reaction (terrorist attacks).

About a month ago we celebrated the mother of all bombs that flattened what amounted to a small village in Afghanistan. We were told that it killed ONLY 90 terrorists, assuming the vast area it affected was inhabited only by the killed terrorists. Not a single civilian was killed, we were told.

The pilot and his crew are our heroes.

Somewhere there's an Afghan from that flattened area. Even if he doesn't subscribe to ISIS/Taliban ideology, he can't be too happy.

Most people in his position would feel that they have a score to settle. And when he has the opportunity, we don't make the connection.

He's a terrorist, but we have our heroes.

Sometimes I feel like crying, not for the dead (that won't help them), but for the rest of us still alive.

Unless you’ve been hiding in a container for the past few months, you’ve probably heard of Kubernetes (often called K8),

That's funny, but last I checked, Kubernetes is often referred to as K8s, not K8.

Reverse and email me at that address.

Yes, a stateroom on a cargo ship sounds like it would be fun. Something to try one of these days.

Nope. Texas.

I'm very versatile, so if you're looking for somebody to work with, we can talk. I have my hands in a number of things in the very early stages right now, but me good at multi-tasking.

Sorry to digress, I should have stopped at the first paragraph.

No, it's good digression, and it brings back fun and painful memories, as I made and lost money at that time.

Trading on margin is something rookies should avoid. It's the easiest way to lose money.

The thing I don't understand is this noise about shorting being unethical. You have more to lose than anybody in the game, and you're not breaking any rules.

Poor poor analogy, but at least you get the picture.

They are talking 15- and 17-qubit-capable processors today, but are looking at 50-qubit ones in a few years.

My co-founder found me, via the local local tech Meetup scene where I participate actively in.

Attending local tech Meetup events is a great way to network and meet others with similar interests.

If you interested, it also pays to make postulates, positive affirmations for life to send you the right co-founder.

People use such methods to find the right personal relationships, but it works just as well in the business realm.

But this is new territory, and researchers shouldn't give up just because it doesn't work very well now.

I recall that the iPhone/iPad were preceded by attempts at tablet computing that were very crude in comparison.

Give it a couple of years and see where it leads.

Beats me too. And right there on that page it says It's development is stopped.

The problem with getting any solution to work in the USA is not about scale, but politics and racism.

Do us and yourself a favor, change the font color on your site, so that it's easier to read.

You should note that the wars in Libya on that list were caused by the major European countries and the US.

I'm glad you qualified that, because splitting Yugoslavia was not peaceful. And Kosovo and Serbia is still a hot spot.

But yes, wars stopped because after WW II, they decided the madness had to stop. That led to the formation of the EU. Countries that belong to the same economic group seldom go to war. ECOWAS serves the same purpose in West Africa.

Assuming you're an American, you should be blaming your govt. rather than Russia for the what's happening around that region. I know you won't believe it, but that doesn't change the facts.

The Internet was definitely delivering value daily by 1990

Yes, the Internet was delivering daily value in 1990, but only to a very, very small group of users. I was in grad school then, but the Internet was not a factor in my environment. Networking was carrying floppies from here to there.

Same thing with cryptocurrencies. It's delivering value to a small group of users, though that group is much more than the small group served by the Internet in 1990. Mining and trading in cryptocurrencies have millions for some, so it's serving them well.

Though I didn't, you deserve to be downvoted.

Tribalism and the "killing each other" thing is not unique to Africa. On the latter, Europeans have Africa beat. If you're an America, I'll suggest you make a study of your ancestors history.

If you're frustrated by the pace of the game, then I think you're not thinking deep enough.

My Nigerian friends will read his statement and say, "He's right."

From what they tell me, some parts of Nigeria have never had electricity, especially in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Hard to believe, but that's the way it is.

You also need a stable and at least substantially non-corrupt political situation

Actually that plays in the favor of foreign corporations, who are more likely to pony up bribes in your favorite foreign currency.

A few years ago I recall that IBM announced a plan to set up something in Kenya.

But don't blame the industry for not having a major datacenter anywhere on that continent. You need a stable power supply for that to make sense, which very few countries there have. Even Ghana that used to brag about that is now a basket case, last I checked.

It's the 2-hour lunch break that I don't understand. why not half that, so that folks can go home and spend that extra hour relaxing into the night?

That happened when Hancom issued a motion to dismiss the case on the grounds that the company didn’t sign anything, so the license wasn’t a real contract.

Hancom's CEO is a thief.

Interesting topic, but I think Why are most programmers in the USA white males? is a much more accurate title.

Women also are majority in the biological sciences.

Those countries you listed are our allies, part of the Coalition of the Willing. They are part of the International community that we always like to bring up whenever we need to justify our actions.
