Still not sure the local library should be responsible for the actual preservation, but I like your idea on principle -- maybe having a more central organization or archive handle the preservation and coordinate determining what needs prese

To what degree is preservation the responsibility of a local lending library? (As opposed to an archive; a museum; the Library of Congress; county courthouses; etc?)

Many people I know who do part time work DO get leave and health benefits. But the original post by e12e I was replying to above doesn’t say anything about full time - it was just talking about calculations to extrapolate wages from income:

by cimmanom 8y ago
I didn't see any specification of "full time". Besides, what does that have to do with the issue anyway? If we're talking about calculating annual incomes, many of those workers work well over 40 hours per week across

Those sorts of roles are often headhunted. Maybe find a good recruiter? You could also poke around AngelList.

How do you turn off the web browser, though?

Tell that to every retail and fast food worker out there.

Or perhaps preferred DNS resolution purchased from ISPs?

Were talking a lot here about median wage. The article specifies 80% or workers. What’s the 80th percentile income?

Salaried employees typically get paid vacation and sick leave. Employees paid hourly wages do not. Some don’t even get unpaid leave.

Vue won’t let you pass changes in data upwards through the component hierarchy. Once you need to do that (and you need to do that in any non-trivial application), your only options are event passing (which quickly becomes awkward and diff

Certainly, bad product management can make engineers unhappy. This includes failure to identify important features early in the development process; unwillingness to cut features to meet deadlines; waffling on what a feature should do so yo

Not off the top of my head, but any good data recovery shop should either know how to do this or be able to refer you to someone who does.

I’m all for teaching people to defend themselves, but why is the onus for fixing the problem put on the potential victim rather than on the perpetrator, or on the culture as a whole?

Why is this a bad thing? Not everyone likes their text editor to work the same way. Have you ever seen a vim/emacs flame war? Are you going to force the Sublime users to use vim? Or the vim users to use sublime? Right tool for the righ

Hard drive failure modes are more likely to be recoverable. The most common failure for a DVD (other than scratches) is physical degradation of the storage medium, which makes the data corrupted and completely unretrievable, if it can be re

Charlottesville?

by cimmanom 8y ago
Yeah, there are sort of two different issues at stake here. One is how to get broadband to rural areas, which is why Spectrum is being penalized. The other is how to provide some sort of competition in urban areas, which this move seems to

by cimmanom 8y ago
Maybe an appropriate recourse here, then, would be to force Spectrum to rent access to their lines so that all consumers have a choice?

by cimmanom 8y ago
There were already plenty of locations where TWC/Spectrum was the only option available. The cable companies have each had neighborhood-level monopolies for as long as I can remember.

by cimmanom 8y ago
Are you in a location where FIOS is an option? Where it’s not, TWC will typically charge $90/mo for 50 down.

You would think a libertarian would support the mothers right to do whatever the fuck she wanted with her body and her health. When did libertarians begin to support restricting individual rights?

Perhaps that white nationalists with guns are intimidating civil rights protestors? It might be more accurate to specify “unbounded” gun rights, since your having a handgun in your home doesn’t affect anyone’s speech, but wearing a rifle to

I’m curious what this will mean for consumers whose only broadband option at the moment is TWC (currently about half of NYC).

I remember seeing them in the weekly NYT Magazine, but in the print edition they’re always on separate pages with “ADVERTISEMENT” printed at the top.

I thought the latest was that done wrong they’re not just useless but counterproductive; but that there are ways to do them right and have a positive effect?
