Is it really that hard to run an IRC network? (I say this with experience running infrastructure for an IRC network, albeit orders of magnitude smaller)

The standard is "without undue burden".

Out of curiosity, why are there so many people crawling sites for prices like what you're talking about? All of the freelance sites are... well, crawling with jobs involving web scrapers. What's the business here that I'm

Hope they don't axe their fantasy offerings, I much prefer their site to the other options for my fantasy football.

It took me like 30s to figure out the change, and I haven't had any problems with it since. Not sure this is going to topple the company. I think this is a case of, "I do this for a living so it's super duper important"

Because of their skin color? No. For other reasons? Yeah. They get help too, though.

I wish your world existed. It doesn't, however, and minority groups need advantages over me in order to get the kinds of jobs I can get. I hope we can move past this some day, but that's not happening today.

I'm okay with it, because I can get a job elsewhere. Some minorities can't. I don't need to be able to get a job at GitHub, because for some stupid reason, society has a general bias in favor of me. I can work anywhere, bu

I dunno if this is kosher, but if someone who qualifies wants to go through the process of applying and posting the rates, there would be a wealth of gratitude in it for you.

From a guy using an introductory card, I agree. If I could, I would, but apparently I can't right now.

I was thinking about this earlier, and while I've been in the industry ~8 years, I've only worked at two companies, and they've both had some pretty fundamental dysfunctions from a strategy/leadership/management per

Our old CTO used to laugh (somewhat derisively) if anyone asked. No.

Can't they just get another payment processor? Aren't there dozens, if not hundreds, of payment processing companies out there? Surely someone will pick up these gigantic clients.

What does 'native' mean in this context?

I don't think so, I believe all this information is publicly available, though anonymized.

Yeah, IIRC most engines just blunder every once in a while depending on the difficulty setting. rather than playing consistently less strong moves, or something like that.

It'd be pretty damn cool if Lyft/Uber/Instacart/etc. could find a way to give their drivers benefits. I hope this ends up in Lyft doing more than just "looking into" those things. There's got to be a wa

I honestly think it was, given the pile-on and sarcastic ending.

Sorry, if that's all the above post was trying to say, I apologize. That's just not all I read, though.

I'm a little sick of the word "poor" being used in lieu of the word "stupid". There are genuinely poor people, and there are people who are too stupid to follow basic common sense laws. Maybe some of these folks ac

Yes, I'm sure we can sit around conjuring up absolute worst case scenarios where a mother of 3 was fined for unloading her kid at school, and she can't miss work again because one of her kids has a medical condition so she sometim

I feel bad for those folks, but maybe they should have worked harder to not break the law if the payments were truly going to cost them so dearly. Also, judges will allow you to provide evidence of your financial situation to the court, a

You could just pay your fines before you drive. I know that's going to be an unpopular opinion, and I'm not saying their debt collection strategy is kosher, but it's not like they're fabricating the fines. Also, you coul

Like I said, we can speculate over what might or might happen all day, but do we have any evidence ? Just seems like you're doomsday fantasizing...

Why would it create a panic and destroy a government's credibility? Obviously you don't make that announcement unless you have proof, but I've heard the "cause a panic" argument thousands of times, but never underst

docker-machine is almost completely seamless to me. The only thing I have to do is start the VM, the eval is in my .profile. This whole problem took me <5 mins to solve, and about 30s to solve each boot. I could quite easily start th

Why does everyone always assume the government would hide aliens from the public?

This isn't like Reddit, self promotion is encouraged. I don't think it's a rule violation as-is, but it's kind of funny, because I don't think, if this is actually astroturfing, it's necessary to lie about it.

I don't love how the preview was done with the kinds of things I'd probably try in the first few hours. I would love seeing what a couple hundred (or more) hours devoted to this could create. It's kind of like the carnival

Exactly! Furthermore, I wonder if the backlight leakage from an LCD ruins the effect (the reason why a black screen isn't actually dark). None of the studies they cite actually use LCD monitors.
