Answer: Python's a great language, but I'm going to mention a few reasons why.​.​.​ Top Stories from Your Feed Your Quora Digest Why is Google still using Java. Which language is better Java or Python? Chris Nicholson, co-founder of skymind-io | co-creator of deeplearning4j-org 75 votes Python's a great language, but I'm going to mention a few reasons why you might choose Java: * It's fast, handles multithreaded well, and scales. * It's built for security. * It has a great ecosystem. * Many companies have bet their stack on Java, so there's demand for Java programmers. * The JVM is cross-platform, and uses run-time information to manage itself. * It takes care of memory management...  Read More » Who is the richest person in the universe? Nolan Ross, Learner, Tennis Player, Coder & Technical Architect @ FeatureYourself-com 81 votes So far we only know of one place with Life in entire Universe. That's our Planet Earth. There could possibly be billions of other planets hosting life but we don't know for sure yet. And even if earth like Planets are found, what are the chances that they exactly have the same specie of "person" / "people" that we have. They might have two brains or wings, we don't know. They may be advanced o...  Read More » How can I save my eyes if I am a software engineer? John L. Miller, Computer Scientist, Programmer, Player of Games 409 votes It's common-sense to say that working at a computer damages your eyes, but it's not necessarily correct. A lot of these concerns have been debunked over time. A very real concern, however, is the impact on your BODY of sitting still for so much of the day. You didn't ask, so I won't go into that. We change our behavior when using a computer. The Mayo Clinic has an article on eyestrain from comp...  Read More » Starting with just $5000 and in your 20s, how would you become a millionaire? Scott Hoversten 328 votes It's a piece of cake. Almost a no-brainer. Depending on how soon you want to be a millionaire, how many millions, how hard you want to work, and how cheap you are willing to live. The most important factor is to develop the habit of saving a little from every paycheck, without fail. Put as much as you can into tax-advantaged accounts, preferably a Roth IRA if you have a job. Also take full ad... Read More » Can we find three positive integers,[math]x[/math] , [math]y[/math] and[math]z[/math] such that:  [math]x^\pi + y^\pi = z^\pi [/math]? How about three integers such that: [math]x^e + y^e = z^e [/math]? Tom Hyer 71 votes I believe this is a spectacularly difficult question. Consider that Fermat's Last Theorem was only proved after a century or so of cumulative work, based on the properties of integers. This query takes the integers out of the problem, thus invalidating all the tools that finally helped prove FLT. The following statement is, however, true: the real numbers [math]x[/math] for which[math]a^x+b^x=c^x[/math] has solutions with in... Read More » What are the best ways to make money? Mladen Adamovic, Founder/CEO, Numbeo-com , Tralev-com 136 votes From Richard Russel: Here's what my dad told me: "Richard, stay out of the retail business. The hours are too long, and you're dealing with every darn variable under the sun. Stay out of real estate; when hard times arrive real estate comes to a dead stop and then it collapses. Furthermore, real estate is illiquid. When the collapse comes, you can't unload. Get into manufacturing; make somethi... Read More » Is there any Russian military technology that is superior to its US equivalent? Eduardo Hernández, Voracious reader, critical thinker 74 votes This thing here: ​ ​ Thats a VA-111 Shkval supercavitating torpedo. It generates a bubble of air around him that allows speeds of more than 200 knots (370 km/h). The United States have nothing yet in service similar to this. A prototype of an equivalent weapon is currently being tested but is still far from being deployed. Read More » What is the one sign you will be wealthy? Pureum Kim, USC Accounting PhD Student 172 votes This is what a wise man once told me back when I was in college. You are wealthy when you know the importance of money but are not tied to it. A wealthy man is a person who would look for discounts but spend large amounts for good investments or worthy consumption. Finally, he will be just as well off even if he lost half of his fortune. He will know that he is still rich and that if he needs to...  Read More » Can police use the mean value theorem to issue a speeding ticket? Joshua Kaplan 183 votes Yes. I once received a speeding ticket where my speed was recorded by a helicopter flying above the highway. The State Trooper that pulled me over (no, not the same one as the pilot of the helicopter!), as well as the prosecutor at the court hearing, explained that the method of measuring the speed was by timing how fast it took me to get from one white line painted on the highway to another ab... Read More » How do very rich people deal with knowing they could instantly solve all their friends' financial problems, but don't? Ian Marshall 290 votes I think this is a terribly false question, to wit: It assumes that people's 'financial problems' could be solved with money. Well, duh, that's a stupid answer, of course financial problems can be solved with money ... But can they? really? If you have financial problems because you have an addiction (say to drugs, or shopping, or spending, etc, etc); or you have financial problems because yo... Read More »   Read More in Your Feed
