Where I live, US Democratic Party policy positions would be held by unelectable right wingers. I agree that confusing some kind of left alignment with the US Democratic Party is not advisable, even in parts of the USA.

Carving in stone for right handlers may be easier for right-to-left scripts, which begs the question about what happened with the Greeks? What triggered left/to-right?

Interesting, and potentially useful to decrease payments friction, although the challenge with these sorts of transfer schemes is that non-repudiation of contractual “promises” is not addressed. Oh yeah, aren’t ACH numbers fraud risks too,

Ha! I was surprised by October 2017: 1. salted onions or potatoes are browner, but no difference in crispness or tenderness. I had always heard that they were more tender. Disappointed, grandma!

If you can do your job remotely, why wouldn’t you move? I live 4 minutes walk from my office in the historic core of a European national capital and I’m staying put, even though I could get much higher speed Internet (and wifi!) in the coun

The most terrible thing is that Bafin or their successor organisation will contain nearly all the current managerial cadre, but will have grown by 5 times in the coming 4 years. Nothing will change except for more chauffeur-driven BMWs. Nev

Hospitals are terrifically dangerous places for sick people. That and the cost of bed occupancy are the primary reasons that convalescence mostly happens at home.

OMG. 30 years of using vi and this falls from the heavens. Thank you! I am a proficient vi user but it’s totally weird watching the keyboard of another vi user. Totally different (and probably better) keystrokes.

Not yet. A combination of work-from-home, a fairly limited lockdown and a variety of state and city schemes for income support for entrepreneurs, small business and a furlough program seem to have limited the impact for now. We’ll see in 5-

That works both ways. 70% of features are common with other businesses, but the feature set is pretty diverse. My experience is that internal folk with a good understanding of the business hit 90-95% of the requirements without implementing

Yes, absolutely it says more about their limitations or concerns than it does about your own! Unfortunately a mismatch in expectations is probably a reasonable (but not good!) reason not to hire. The hiring party gets to choose, and if thei
