There will not be an on-demand service for everything. How would one load up trash in the back of a pickup truck to take to the landfill? How would you take a fishing trip off road to the edge of the lake? A lot of what I read would work fi

So let's assume the people who run Anaheim are not idiots. My question would be did they run the cost analysis of these tax breaks for Disney versus the expected boon to the city from other incomes? If the income from externalities is

I've always been of the opinion that timestamps should be stored UTC datetime or unix timestamp on the server side and then displayed to the proper locale by the client's device. Is this not a good method?

I've never understood Twitter's "anti-spam" effort. The only "spam" I've ever seen on twitter is when someone I am following likes another tweet, or it tells me I should follow someone because someone I&#x

Healthcare startup here: Yes, because first/last name are PHI identifiers, and it's possible that even using the product itself could be considered a breach because you don't have control over the data. If the filenames some

Perhaps you could encrypt the filenames with a user-supplied password hash. Upload and store just the encrypted filenames, and when the user is viewing the data on the web can decrypt the filenames by asking them for the filename password.

I don't know at what MRR you set the threshold, but you would want to have an understanding of actual costs, growth cost estimates, customer retention, etc. before you start promising commissions to affiliates.

I thought it was interesting that 2 objections raised by Steve Jobs so he "could feel in control" are actually normal UX items and have been ever since. (smooth scrolling, selecting text being an outline) Maybe this is a differenc

I think the problem is in all the data-binding of JSON responses to the front end. I don't care what anyone says, it's slow.

It would seem that amendment has long been ignored. If a state votes to leave the union, it would likely be decided by a federal court as illegal, then go to Supreme Court for them to decide. The problem is that this will take too long, and

So one perspective is that a lot of development these days is combining existing libraries with glue code to meet a need. I wonder how much of the future will be combining microservice APIs with affordable micro transactions to meet a need.

Can the generated parser be saved somehow externally so that I don't have to ship the grammar with a project?

Many sites do have a TOS that prohibits altering their code. The question would be: does selectively choosing not to run certain code constitute altering it? The world seems to have decided the answer is no.

You're on this site, so I hope you recognize the stereotyping and assumptions of character in your statement. I am white, ~25% Filipino also, but light skinned so historically I have been taken as a white male. I'm not shocked or

It even describes it as "powerfully seductive" which is not how I felt at all about the description. It's above my paygrade to judge another culture. But I felt sorry for the poor bear.

If you used QBasic to learn to program as a kid (which I did) then you might be interested in AppGameKit[1]. I would recommend it, however I must mention that I've become used to OOP and it is difficult to go back to a language that do

Yes, but we're talking about Justice, not explanation. There could come a time where "the judge made a decision without telling the other party" is no longer a valid course of action in the justice system (i.e. not true justi

Any time I hear these latin legalese terms I forget that we're living in 2017. It appears our justice systems would prefer that we were all subjects to Roman emperors whenever it suits them. EDIT: I've been downvoted, so maybe I s
