Public schools and the NEA are a monopoly. Monopolies will never fix themselves or act in the best interests of their customers. The only way to fix a bad monopoly is to divest it of power, break it up, and let others take a crack at usin

It's really a wash since if you don't have SNI, the IP address uniquely identifies the site that the user is going to and the IP address is on every packet but is not ever encrypted.

Good coffee does not come from McDonalds. Well, okay, we can agree on that; but "safe temperature" McDonalds coffee is even worse than hot McDonalds coffee. when they admitted that they preferred to settle 700 cases There&#x27

Before you jump to that conclusion, please take a look at the actual pictures of Liebeck's burns. At least two people in this thread want me to stare at grisly pictures. Yes, they're awful. I sympathize with the lady for havin

McDonalds wanted it to stay hot for the duration of the journey Because McDonalds customers want the coffee to stay hot for the duration of the journey and all customers know that coffee is very hot and they need to be careful with it.

I dare say that if you spilled even 130F coffee in your lap while driving down the freeway, you could easily cause a fatal accident. As a society, do we expect McDonalds to make that decision for us and just not sell coffee in the drive-thr

Okay, so let's say it's 165F and I spill a cup on someone. There's still going to be an injury. Scalding burns can occur at temperatures down to 125F or so. Whose fault is it? Does Starbucks have to lower the temperature of

Sorry, I'm still someone who doesn't get it. Coffee is brewed hot (195 - 205 degrees F), and I personally like it to be freshly brewed as I drink it. As I very carefully sipped my fresh Starbucks coffee today at the mall, I was

I read the above-linked article. I saw a lot of assumption based upon weak links and correlation with assumed causation. For example, height decreased post agriculture. Did that mean that agriculture didn't allow people to grow as ta

We'll never know how much the record company makes But he said that he's the label as well and he included that statement in the post. The total was only a little over twice as much as he was paid as the artist.

It was a quarterly royalty statement, but I have to agree in principle. 15,000 plays doesn't sound like a whole lot across a large Spotify audience, which has tens of millions of members. That's just a random play of a piece her

I don't have trouble believing it. People in positions of power like that often tremendously underestimate their danger of exposure. Often to flaunt their power or crush opposition, they will overplay their hands. Look at the photos

That "deal" to give him reasonable time to find a new job was forced by law, not given by kindness of her heart. If she wanted to do the minimum declared by law, she would have just fired him. The severance clock doesn't s

I'm increasingly stunned at the lack of empathy for what it's like to be an employer here on HN where, ostensibly, people are trying to learn about what it takes to become a successful startup and employer. As an employer, I'

I don't read it that way at all. I read it that he tries to exceed people's expectations in his personal relations. If it sounds "horribly arrogant", then I think that sounds horribly negative and judgemental.

I'd recommend that you not start with the rpi if you have zero experience. If you're in the USA (edit: at a local RadioShack), you can buy an Arduino, a breadboard, wire, some resistors, switches, and LEDs for less than $60 -- the
