Maybe the solution would be to not elect these people directly and instead have the parliament/city council elect these? That way a coalition can form organically. It's working quite nicely in most European countries.

That shouldn't be a insurmountable issue though. When I buy a house all the carpets come out and get replaced with wood floors and everything gets repainted. Otherwise it's just gross.

I just started learning R and am still in the phase of learning a new language where I feel insecure that I picked the tight language to learn. Can anyone say anything about how R relates to the examples we have seen here for Python and Julia? Also Julia seems yo be the new hotness in this space, is that right? Should I skip R and learn Julia instead?

The same thing happened to me in China when I tried to speak Mandarin. Fortunately, however, there were many people who couldn't switch to English because they didn't speak it.

Also brings up the question why they are so big and not competing? Maybe the deal should be rejected and investigated why they aren't competing for customers. They should be at each other's throats and not making nice nice!

I can't stand it anymore! Why are we prosecuting these people instead of Comcast who is on a course to destroy our infrastructure? Of course I know the answer. I just can't deal with it anymore. I will just stop reading any news.

Can we get a god damn amendment to the constitution that enforced net neutrality and prohibits ISPs from doing anything but being ISPs, already?! The net is part of the infrastructure of our country and needs to be neutral! Anyone who fucks with that should be charged with terrorism.

To me the solution is clear: tear down the shitty Victorians and build skyscrapers instead. It made me terribly upset to see that the new buildings in Mission Bay are only 5-6 stories. Nothing that gets build in SF should be under 30 stories. We need living space and lots of it, so that prices come down.

Well, I understand why the Russian government is doing this. I don't have much confidence in the Ruble and am pretty sure I am not the only one. So BTC might be a viable alternative. An alternative that the Russian government has no control over.

Interesting how many buildings were clearly hit by bombs, burned out and still didn't collapse into their own footprint as tall buildings are known to do.

I wish we could amend the constitution that they are not allowed to do anything at all but sell bits to consumers. No selling of content, access to consumers, devices or ice cream or whatever other scheme they come up with. Their sole interest has to be selling more bits! If they even as much as think about doing anything else there need to bd draconian penalties. I would even argue that they are endangering infrastructure and charge them with terrorism.

Yes! There are so many amazing IPs in the gaming space that are just sitting there or get mutilated by the holder.

I actually like the idea of franchises becoming public domain. In many cases it seems that the holder either doesn't care about the IP (Sega properties like Skies of Arcadia, Landstalker or the Oasis series come to mind. Cap com has a bunch too) or they seem least competent in furthering the franchise (George Lucas, Square and now EA with Dungeon Keeper).

Regardless who is in the right here, I don't understand why all the protesters keep going to that square where all the cops are. One of those Molotov cocktails they keep throwing could probably be used more efficiently anywhere else in the city with so many cops in that one square. I am sure there must be plenty of worthwhile targets that pretty much have their pants down right now. Police stations, buildings associated with Yanukovich and his party... I am sure there is any number of places where a few guys with molotovs could be used better than at that battlefield of a square.
