Cultural values define the economics here. The dowry is expected from women which ultimately end up with the groom once the bride leaves to live with the groom and his family. The bride's side hence considers it a liability since there

> "I don't have complete information but I think I'm great thus I'm just going to assume you are clueless". That's a straw man if I ever saw one. No one here claims to be great. And no one is calling this pr

You'll have to excuse me for not having noticed this, it's the first I have heard of Streak. This is indeed quite impressive and comprehensive.

The biggest productivity boosters are filters and labels, once you have them setup. This works if you are working on recurring themes (long running projects, recurring tasks such as billing, etc). I imagine everyone has keyboard shortcuts e

I have very rarely run into misbehaved threading. Even so, for me personally it's not enough to warrant the effort of doing a manual split. Threads are ephemeral and it's fairly trivial to change the subject and fork the thread. H

If I am reading correctly you are proposing 5 cents is too low so the price should be higher. But the high price will be too high so per-article pricing is bad. Consumption models change and pricing models change with it (singles vs albums,

Micropayments suffers from a number of issues. If my monthly spend it $1 across 20 articles at 5 cents each then a single customer support query is likely to eat up months worth of margins for my account. Refunds are going to be just as har

Refactoring is fun, especially on a slow day. The "Introducing an Explaining Variable"[1] refactoring is: if (version < 8 && ua ~ "IE") ... is better written as IE8 = (version < 8 && ua ~

If you are running a service that needs to be up all the time this is ideal. For other scenarios, what you describe is probably appropriate. With burstable instances, you accumulate 6 CPU credits every hour so you can run at 100% load for a

This reminds me of the Sizzle selector engine which is used by most JS frameworks out there including jQuery. There was a time all the frameworks were competing on selector performance and I believe it was Prototype.JS that decided not to i

Pivot as per the blog post seems to be a mix of extending, innovating and leveraging what you have. I am not bothered by the exact strategy since the concepts are all relevant. Before the word pivot was being bandied about, Microsoft had Ho

This is the first I have heard of Vue and am impressed by its simplicity and intuitiveness. In particular, I like that the JS code is free from cruft as in the other examples there. I also like that the HTML stands on its own which makes th

Playing the devil's advocate: what if the higher contention ratios lead to 50% reduction in gym membership fee? All other gyms follow suit and consumers and gyms both benefit from the realization that not all members will be in the gym

This is reminiscent of Google's (and others, to be fair) build-first, monetise-later approach to products. Features get cut, entire products get slashed and users end up losing their data and time invested. At least Google had acted pa

Is there any good reason for not allowing this? It doesn't make sense to bar publishers from sharing their CPCs.

This had me confused until I read your comment, thanks for clearing it up. I love scribe, it's the most consistent of all the editors I have tried (and I have pretty much tried them all). Would love to see image support though. I know

I got it 8 months ago but noticed the problem into the fifth month. Intend to have it sent in for repair when I can make time to part with it. I bought 2 Macbook airs together, both have the same issue.

Hopefully you'll benefit from a better build. My 2013 MacBook Air has a nasty issue where trackpad doesn't work properly if the machine is tilted even 15 degrees. The adapter has failed once already and the second one stopped char

In UK, prices are always inclusive of VAT. Going back to the U.S. pricing model after that is annoying to say the least. A price discrepancy leaves room for dispute unless you add "fine print" for "hidden fees", both of

I wish these extensions came by way of the PHP core rather than a language that is superimposed on PHP. However, this is awesome. Is this a layer that is superimposed on PHP that falls back to the default interpreter for unimplemented featu
