No reason to say goodbye to them. It would just mean that the price would have to increase, or the industries that produce them will have a smaller profit margin. Apple has $245 billion in cash right now.

If a business can only exist if you exploit your labor force, then maybe your business shouldn't exist. The portion of people that work jobs for fun or a little extra income are a minority. There are more examples of people working sev

I just recently saw the video of the guy picking up trash with a claw/grabber and being told to drop his 'weapon'. Several police showed up to stop this threat from cleaning his property. Luckily though, no one was shot, and

While there is no catching a criminal in this situation. Asset forfeiture is abused. This is where police take items, usually cash, and keep it. There is no trial, just a seizure of property. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-p

Thanks for replying. I was hoping for a more in depth explanation though. Insects are such a varied species. Just strikes me as odd that you would hate all insects. Without knowing more, it seems like you may hate cows because you had a rat

Could you explain why you don't care?

I've read the articles about why organic can be worse than regular farming. Which is why I used the word 'hopefully'. I fully realize that organics can use chemicals, it's just that their chemicals are 'approved&#x2

I don't support organic because of climate change. Organic is hopefully better than the normal farming practices that dump chemicals on nature just to get better yield. Regular farming practices(using pesticides and herbicides) has bee

I live in Minneapolis Minnesota. We have raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rabbits. That's all I have seen for small ground critters that aren't living in parks.

Recently Obama gave an interview where he pretty much stated something along these lines. You go into politics locally, and you meet idiots, so you shrug it off, go into state politics, and meet idiots. You then hit national, and world poli

Social scientists are people. We are all people first. None of us are robots. We can be rational in certain situations, but overall, we are not a rational species. In order to fight some of our worse qualities, we have to first identify the

That's funny. That still makes me sad to this day. But I was pretty broken up over it too. Somehow the fact that I will have been long dead did not matter.

I agree. I'm not saying you down play the threat, but you have to realize that children are not adults. Almost everything is a new experience to them. And they do not have the tools in order to deal with the emotions. I was pretty anno

I was going to mention the same thing. I too up until the puerto rico article blamed insecticides. But something much larger seems to be going on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2018/10/15/hyperal

"the agency estimates that a magma body that measures about a third of a cubic mile is squishing its way through the subsurface near Mayotte." Since it's a magma body moving Mayotte, Mayotte could be moving relative to it&#x2

This article reminds me of a clip from an interview with Obama recently. https://youtu.be/N7ZHDoNhScY?t=716 He states that he expected people in charge would be more informed or smarter as he progressed up the chain from co

I dislike their video portion of their website. They have no history that I can ever find. And they don't have a recently watched section. If you don't finish a movie or show, or are watching a series, there is no easy way to get

It's rather ridiculous overall. The more 'studies' I read, the less I take them seriously. If you don't like the result of any study, wait 2 years and you will have a handful of studies disproving them. It seems like eve

She's not smart. No amount of college is going to fix that problem either. She states that she knew her parents thought this was a bad idea. But she wanted to take the loan because if she didn't she would have to transfer colleges

It does. But if your endpoint is so inactive that it sits idle most of the time, having it on a server/ec2 instance means you are paying 24/7 for it to sit there not doing anything. You could argue that it's not that much dif

Yes. That's what I mean. The per user basis does sound interesting. Sometimes though, you can't force a square peg in a round hole. I dislike server maintenance but docker is a decent alternative to lambdas if you can absorb the e

That's an interesting problem. We don't get many concurrent requests and if we do, well then it's not a huge deal. How many instances do you want running? You could set up a separate keep alive path that sends another request

Not the author, but you can set up cloudwatch to hit your lambdas at defined intervals. I set up my lambdas that are accessed through api gateway with a special header to check. If the header is there with the correct value, it just returns

I think a lot of people miss this point. A home isn't an investment. It's a place to live. There are studies I have seen that show that your children do better in school if you have a house vs an apartment. There could be other va

Yes. We saw the same thing with 3D tv's. People tried to cling to their old 2D sets and clearly the new technology won out. /sarcasm

No crap. $15? I have to imagine he spent at least a couple hours on it. Even $50 seems like it's not worth the time. I really doubt he's spending less than 2 hours on any of this. Not to mention just finding and applying...

If a person is alive, and invites people over, but does not frisk them. Is he not invited someone to stab him to death? At some point there is reasonable expectation. On all websites worth their salt, input fields are labeled. An input fiel

Does anyone have any good resources on why humans do this. Some christians love to talk about the book of revelations. There's a huge segment of the population in the US that loves the idea of a zombie apocalypse. What is the human fas

This reminds me of a family guy episode, where Brian, who is normally liberal, finds that all the pieces of power in the government are now democrat. So he switches sides and becomes a republican. While the above example is made up, and sat
