Depends on your baseline. Compared to New York things close early. Compared to Santa Cruz things are open late. It's all about perspective.

From the sound of it the OP really did go out of their way to try to talk this one through. Of course communication is a two way street, but communication is basically the only job a manager really has at the end of the day. It is their pr

You know who is going to be the first one fired and the last one promoted? The SWE who is being asked to do some bogus tasks that aren't even close to what they are capable of. In many cases you are in one way or another obligated to

No, Giphy, GifyCat, Tenor and pretty much every other gif distribution service has already done something like this from the get go. The GIF is just not well suited for large scale distribution when html supports <video> elements that

Having standards is one of the more important functions of government and this work has broad implications for consumer protection. The price is mot even cheap so at least the largest beneficiaries pay to brunt of the cost. If you’re seriou

Not sure if these people are overqualified as much as the fact that people who check the box on paper are generally unqualified. Generally good people can only really do math up to a few years below the highest level that they learned in sc

This is a very uncharitable reading of the comment. Irrigation in the Central Valley could only be called Capitalist in so far is it concentrates resources into the hands of a greedy, wealthy few. But the irrigation does not follow anything

Water policy in the San Jaquin valley would better be described as socialism for the rich than capitalism. Nobody is paying anything close to a market rate.

They are growing cotton and cattle less than 10 miles from Coalinga. There is already plenty of water to be had.

There are no full time paid editors and that would severely distort the character and incentives of the encyclopedia.

This is kind of a cheap ad hominem attack. There is a lot of legitimate criticism of the WMF, and it has been a problem for a long time so I don’t see why the criticism should stop. The most vituperative critics of WMF are typically active

There are laws against fine print for a reason. The front page pop up ad tells a different story than a stack of text heavy articles that require no small amount of technical expertise to figure out.

Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation are not the same thing. The author’s sentiment is pretty common among the large number of volunteer editors who make the bulk of what makes Wikipedia valuable. You can find people of all sorts of political

In general this seems fair, but it also creates an externality. A licensing system that offers a permissive license to the community that paid for it, and a more restrictive licensing terms for people in parts beyond seems more fair. Think

This is a pretty solid AR headset as they come. Definitely a step up from their first release. The optics/display are much better and they have patched some of the worse UX bugs that made the original really hard to use. But this is st

Probably not a great idea. Simple answer: no. Most of the people working for these companies don’t wear these things for more than 10 minutes a week.

I believe Nokia’s handsets are now made under license by HMD global (some Chinese holding company). They also make a number of non consumer products like mobile base stations which you might have even used recently. Magic Leap on the other

All of these can already be done with a mobile phone and only navigation could make the case that it is better with an AR HUD and even then I’m not sure I really buy it based on my personal experience doing so.

The 50:50 figure is in aggregate. You would not be able to infer if the distribution is a regressive based on that number alone. The linked article does not say that the vast majority of schools are regressive. "A handful - Nevada, Wyo

No we also add in a punitive fine as a deterrent so the crime doesn’t happen again in the future. Punishment should be equal which means high net worth criminals should pay proportional punitive fines.

Eye trackers typically require 2-4 additional cameras trained on the eyes. The algorithms for eye tracking are typically pretty involved, but maybe you know some very lower power algorithm to track the eye at 120 hz? I'm not sure how d
