Which they do, but it is really tough to unwind the correlation/causation factors here.

Hey Chris, Hello Neighbor! Thought about this idea in the Lewisburg (Central Susquehanna Valley) region and was wondering how the pole access stuff works? Also, what kind of densities do you need to get the WISP profitable to be able to ma

I think you mean RPGLE? :) I'll be doing a little bit of it this year, hopefully it will be the last... :/

I was not making any claims of the Italian medical system. I have no idea how they stack up. I was taking objection to the parent post claiming that the grandparent post was making a racist statement. If you guys are doing great in Italy

That's not racist. Italy is not a race. It is an indictment of the medical competency in Italy based on his perception of their system. I wish people would stop throwing that term around so loosely. If you don't like what he s

Generally, people who switch from regular to diet soda only lose a pound or two when all things are considered. The research has shown that the big deal with switching is that you stop gaining weight. I'll refer you to Aaron Caroll&#

I think that once they get all your bank info they will do a withdraw from your account? That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I have observed the opposite in my son's scout troop. None of the kids come from "wealthy" families. Some are very poor in fact. It is all about parental involvement. These kids have parents or grandparents that see the v

Your store scenario isn't true at all! It does not cost about twice as much to get two boxes of cereal into a store as one box. The same shipping economies are in play here. It actually costs less per box to get it into a store beca

This can be turned off... You can use the group policy editor to set it up like windows 7. I just did this on my dev machine this weekend after being bit by it. Now I get notified of the updates available and can choose to install them at

Why aren't the major backhaul providers like L3 forcing this as part of their pass through agreements? If the ISP cannot invest enough to follow the simplest of best practices then why do they allow them to connect? Seem dangerous fo

Could it be deemed an act of self defense if done in the middle of such an attack? We have all these laws where we are allowed (in the US) to shoot somebody and kill them if they invade our home or business. If I am a business owner, why

I am directly addressing these particular memes... Which are trolling... Shitposting... The name says it all.

They make everything else better. If there was a battery that lasted for such a long time then phone would have them and we would just swap from one handset to another when we switch phones. Plus, people are really good at breaking phone sc

I think the larger issue is that this is seen as tearing down constructive discourse on the issues. Sponsored trolling... I'm unsure of what you seem to think is ok with what he did?

Can you give an example of what you mean by "the response" and how it is "absolutely unacceptable"?

Isn't the quality of the logos left really dependent on the ability of previous purchasers to pick the better quality logos? I would say that it isn't necessarily true that the worst logos are last, much depends on the customers.

Developer builds do expire. Dealing with that with one of my customers. A slick little IT guy decided that he would put his developer copy of Windows on this particular non-profit's computer to save them money. All of a sudden 3 wee

Not really your place to judge is it? What if they are in the middle of a long running task and the machine shuts down? Maybe it takes all day to run that process intensive task? Boom updates reboot the machine and a whole day's proc

Conviction... We all "know" the right thing to do but we are not convicted within ourselves to do it. Once you find the conviction you will do it. I think that the conviction is hard because most of the threat and risk from not

You mean weeks after, right? Because it was weeks after, not days after. Good story though.

I think that is rather cynical. I think that UBI is an attempt by some to solve a problem that society has had a very hard time dealing with. How do you make sure everyone's needs are provided for while also keeping them incentivized

You cannot learn to work a physical piece of equipment on the internet no matter how amazing the quality of video. Some things just take physical practice. I don't want a phlebotomist that has an online degree...

I think that you make some really great points around standards here. This whole notion of organic is nice, but the methods deemed "organic" is not always going to produce the best yields or quality of product. I appreciate the

"what's the functional difference between that and slavery?" Ability to exercise your freewill? Aren't we all choosing between work and starving? The difference is freedom and liberty... the ability to choose our work.

But they weren't talking about paying lavishly... it is this idea that we all have no "jobs" and only do things that we want to do... the only way to get people to do undesirable things is to incentivize them in a way that wh

"Most jobs worth doing would gladly be done for free. If you look at a job and realize that no one would do it if they weren't paid a lot of money (or were desperately trying to stay off the street), you have to wonder if that job
