Why is there a case at all and not "here is a list of contraband seized at the border" ? I would assume the legal procedure is what determines what actually happens to the object. Just like the police arrest people but don'

I recently received my first framework laptop after being a loyal Thinkpad user for years. I get excited about different laptops occasionally...and then I remember that I won't have a trackpoint if I switch to a different brand, and

In that case, just don't sweat it. It's all billable. The budget for these projects won't support that. Billing an hour of lunch everyday just for myself would exceed the retainer allotted for some of these projects. And it

Yeah, it crept up over the years. Start at 6hrs a day, then 6.5, then 7 and then 8 about 4 years ago.

At one place I worked full-time, the time-tracking software explicitly had a checkbox, "billable", which meant this time can be directly billed to clients, and you were expected to be able to check that for some specific percenta

Contractors will be extreme sticklers about their requirements on a project. So that if anything starts look off-plan or may impact something like a schedule delay they will say "nope, that's outside of our scope of work we need

For the truly average developer, $200K is definitely not the norm according to any compensation data I've seen. One issue in this community is its members being unable to understand what "average developer" actually means.

That ExxonMobile link has 3 of 20 salaries being an amount above $122k and only 1 at $200k. So, even in your cherry-picked examples one of the companies only has a single person making this "mid-career salary".

One easy answer is that something being ineffective doesn't mean people won't try it anyways.

No she doesn't. She can just leave it there. She can leave her own glasses there, too. I'm having a hard time following the logic here. You agree that at some point someone has to do the dishes, correct? We can assume based on t

So then you agree that accredited investing requirements aren't the problem?

The numbers seem large when they're in absolutes, but per capita it's moved from ~0.91 trips per person per year to ~1.19 trips per person per year. I mean, if the goal is to make the smallest number, why stop at "per perso

How are so many devs so poorly paid? Maybe you are just out of touch with what your average software developer is paid?

And maybe even more commonly on Twitter I just see people taking screenshots of tweets. Screenshots of tweets seems like the worst way to "archive" them, since the screenshot can be trivially faked.

That doesn't say its "normal" by 6-7. It just says that some kids are able to do it as young as that age. And the specific child in the article didn't start until 9. Plus, I would argue that there is a difference between

Uh - no. You don’t have to be there to ensure the kid gets on. You teach your kid how to be responsible and a good person so that they get on without you having to helicopter over them for everything. Maybe I'm just a terrible parent

I can imagine someone slipping and breaking their neck if I don't shovel my sidewalk as required by the city. I think its more like purposefully icing your sidewalk or driveway to make it harder for salesmen/canvassers/etc

>As an example, about 20% of the emissions in the US stem from residential energy usage (0). Sounds like we need to focus on the much larger 80% of emissions first to me, as that's where the vast majority of the problem lies, by def

I don't know if I would classify 15-25 years ago as "recent years"...

But its still a cost you have to pay for somehow, and since you are, hopefully, going to classes, studying, and doing homework, you are largely preventing from having a job lucrative enough to pay for those things completely.

Given the amount of games that release, you got it the wrong way around, it's not "a few bad eggs", it's "a few good eggs" in a basket full of bad eggs. I would really enjoy to something even close to evidenc

Having a place to live and food to eat seems to me to be pretty important part of your education.

Public schools average about $10k per year for in-state students. That seems low to me. Are you only counting the cost of tuition (and not books, room and board, etc)? I just grabbed some numbers for NH, one site says the average for tuit

Most of these 'college debt is out of control' stories being pushed in the press, are usually focusing on outliers - i.e. people that borrowed $250K for multiple useless majors and now work at Starbucks because they chose badly.

Trackpoint/Nub/Nipple. If you're trying to make a small laptop, rather than crippling keyboard for the sake of massive giant trackpad, Trackpoint is the way to go. Granted, higher learning curve for many, but very rewarding

That and I'm not sure how different this is from cloud file sharers that disable file shares for reasons like piracy, which is something that I'm pretty sure Google Docs was doing already.

by Goronmon 5y ago
Yeah, to me this makes this kind of a non-issue. Because I always assumed that any cloud provider like this would be capable and willing to block sharing of files based on their policies.

Utopia of Rules - our culture thinks that if we just had the right set of rules and everyone fallowed them then everything would work well. This is a flawed belief, like other utopias. I don't see what about ContentID is related to t

If an amateur can do damage to you, then I have some bad news for you... I believe the point wasn't surprise that damage occurred at all, but frustration that damage can occur just out laziness/ignorance rather than malice.
