I think you're mixing up endianness. The way I understand it, your first paragraph actually describes little endian encoding. I understand it as "the little value (i.e., the insignificant value) at the end".

EDIT: In fact maybe I'm wrong, if you consider the lowest byte address the first line of an address label... now I'm confused, haha.

I take it to mean that if you employ an average of 10 workers, each year 15 instances will have happened of a worker quitting and being replaced.

I'd love to know what these nomadic folks do for friends and socialisation. I think I'd find it exceedingly lonely to uproot myself from urban civilisation (that includes the case of living in a new city every few month).

Would you be able to point me to his response? I found Lepore's story fascinating.

My rental contract (AU) has those three clauses parent poster presents, verbatim. It's sickening. I actually have a mind to go and find out from a lawyer if they're enforceable.

I'm not Australian, but my sense is that tenants are viewed by the law as something between children and moral degenerates.

EDIT: and landlords are permitted to (and do) "inspect the property for damage" on a six monthly basis. At which point they tell you the day before they'll be poking around in your home. I don't know why we stand for it, frankly.

I believe you, but I have little expertise. Could you explain or give examples why?
