I have a mutual whole life policy myself and it is amazing how my interests as a policy holder and my interests as an investor in the company are aligned so well. There really isn't any conflict of interest that I can think of and it&

You have the right to express your opinion to your employer and ultimately to leave the company. But you are also being compensated for them having the right to use the product of your labor as they see fit. Implicitly, and probably explici

Slavery is still allowed for jury duty as well. You are forced to work and if you don't go they can throw you in prison and/or fine you.

It was in the desert outside of Las Vegas. It was a pretty strong wind.

I have the Mavic Pro and have issues with the wind carrying it away and not being able to navigate where I want. Is a smaller drone going to even more issue with wind or have they improved this?

Yeah, I saw that later on when I continued reading. I did a Find on the page and was looking for "ooo" and didn't find anything like "order of order (ooo)" because it's customary to define it when it is first

If you are going to make the case for one being better than the other then show the same data in 2 different formats side by side. The article only shows 1 example in 1 format and then moves onto another point. The reader is left to imagine

I wasn't sure what OoO stood for and since they never mentioned it in the article I had to look it up. For anyone else who is asking the same question. OoO = out of order execution

School when kids are young is a better forum for this IMO. It's appalling the lack of financial education in schools. But I guess knowing the capital of some obscure country I will probably only hear mentioned 3 times in my entire li

For me, I had a business partner that screwed me over and left me with a lot of credit card debt. I took out an installment loan of $20K at 6.5% interest to pay down the cards. It's saved me a lot of money in interest and has been of

I'm 100% for this idea but is a government law really the best way to go about this? There are already social media alternatives that are decentralized and give users control and nobody uses it. There's an increasing amount of bu

I've been going through the book "But How Do It Know" (not a typo) and it's a great introduction on how to build a CPU from scratch starting from basic transistor working up higher and higher levels of abstraction using

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

Generally speaking, the CAD software will output an STL file (surface geometry), then you import that into "slicing" software that takes the geometry and generates .gcode that is targeted specifically for your 3D printer. I made a

> offends a portion or group of the public This is extremely vague. I'm pretty sure any non-trivial amount of words is virtually guaranteed to offend someone somehow.

Not quite that detailed but along those lines. Usually it's simpler like resize a dimension based on another shape that is supposed to be in a fixed location. Vectors should snap and/or resize to other vectors based on midpoint,

I've had a horrible time with finding good vector software for my needs, especially since my requirements tend towards needing it to create physical assets in the real world (laser cutting) or the basis for game assets. There isn'

Zillow is not making a very convincing argument here. Seems like a wild guess at best.

Yeah, I got sick of Adobe's subscription model. Every release it seems like PS gets slower and slower without adding any features of value to me. I hate that if I want to have a certain combination of 2 or 3 apps I have to pay for ba

Am I missing something? This study just seems to say that smarter people have more income stability. Doesn't seem all that surprising. The study doesn't make any mention of doing tests throughout their lifespans so it's har

Agreed. There is too little competition in this space. Having more choice would mean there wouldn't be the whole Google Services / Huawei fiasco. Apple and Google are effectively blocking competition in the marketplace.

I understand why they went with Android but I'm disappointed they didn't go with .NET. I've avoided iOS and Android development because I'm not a fan of those development environments. I would actually develop mobile a

When you put something out in the world for free, the expectation is that it is free. Trying to charge selectively to only certain companies is discrimination and violates the spirit of net neutrality.

Some problematic scenarios: - How do you identify what is customer data? There may be information stored in logs somewhere. Do you now have to write log parsers to extract personal data for everything that previously you just stored for g

Many companies have to RADICALLY change their architectures just to support these laws. And often the costs will be enormous. How do you scan all the logs that might somehow have an association with the requesting user that are in cold st

Essentially, yes. And don't forget all the other ones from other countries as well.

One unintended outcome of this is probably going to be age discrimination. If companies are now required to provide health care they is an incentive to hire younger workers with cheaper healthcare expenses than older people who cost more.

They can make the string part optional. Variables and symbol tables have been staples of programming languages and compilers for ages now. It's a very standard pattern. Nothing Rube-Goldberg about it. But React has deviated so far f
