decimation: ?The reports [from the contractor] just asserted that they had written X lines of code. .?.?. For an executive, that?s just invisible; you don?t know what it means,? said Curtis Smith, who oversaw retirement processing from 1989 to 1994. He was
a longtime federal employee with

mircea_popescu: By this time, the city was swelling with apprentices, and the adult population was finding them more difficult to control, says Barbara Hanawalt. As early death from infectious disease became rarer the apprentices faced

a number of young men who are in apprenticeships who have got no hope of getting
a workshop and
a business of their own," says Jeremy Goldb
mircea_popescu: In the 15th and 16th Centuries, apprentice riots in London became more common, with the mob targeting foreigners including the Flemish and Lombards. On May Day in 1517, the call to riot was shouted out - "Prentices and clubs!" - and

mircea_popescu: "In London, the different guilds divided into tribes and engaged in violent disputes. In 1339, fishmongers were involved in
a series of major street battles with goldsmiths. But ironically, the apprentices with the worst reputation for violence belonged to the legal profession."

a single marker as predictive of mental instability as interest in psychology.
ninjashogun: holy #$@ mirceau you sure know how to pick them. But I would never go for
a woman with such an intellectually provocative public profile. Only the ones who keep that to themselves (as I do). makes everything easier :) :)

a lot of older people have serious trouble coping with the idea that well... not everybody is going to like them. no matter what they do.
mircea_popescu: srsly now, as an engineer, if you're any good and you got to be old, how the fuck would you actually need
a salary
TestingUnoDosTre: do the engineers freak out
a lot with price changes, or do they understand how to protect themselves from shifts in price if they care to do so
JorgePasada: Trying to tie something into this and make
a salient point...
