It sounds like the division is really if you make a living from investments vs. from labor. In that case, a Doctor has invested a lot of time and money into certification and skill building, so they make a living more from investment and o

So if they had an algorithm that would ask for a unique fingerprint (say by sampling random parts of the track), then they would have been in the clear? Or, more accurately, would the record labels have been more likely to strike a deal if

Since I've had a handful of users ask about cloud storage for Snebu, Would you be interested in adding Snebu as a supported protocol? It should be similar to how you currently support Borg. For Snebu, the client runs find and tar, se

At the time I watched SNL whenever I remembered, but not regularly enough. However this one commercial spoof has stuck out with me, and I see it referenced all the time. Almost as if it was constantly reused. So how did this one-time eve

The way cdrom.com worked is you would upload a fingerprint of your music. Then if they already had a track that matched the fingerprint, they would link that to your account and not require you to upload the whole track. So this was techn

If doing 100% programing isn't working out in the real world for you, then you may want to look into a "super sysadmin / devops" role in which your main job is one thing, but gets greatly enhanced if you can program. Th

The problem I have with third party app stores is you have to open up permissions to install any third-party app -- you can't just say "Trust apps from the following app stores" (at least that I've found, although it has

Couldn't you create a web-first app, then have the "app" that appears in the app just install a launcher icon that launches a browser window pointing to your website? This method (PWA?) I believe also lets you launch the bro

That brings up a question I've had -- so many web sites seem to work better as an app. Is that because app development is easier, or is there some things that you can do with an app that you can't do through web standards? Speci

I've thought about that, however I worry about it turning into what Facebook does and put you in an echo chamber (with the occasional "across the isle" item thrown in to "make you angry"). But I still like the idea

You mentioned "growing your own food". How much work is invested in that activity? If you put a price on it, would it be just as cheap to work at a job and use that income to buy the food? For example frozen vegetables are abou

Unfortunately, current cars have to be controlled by humans, and the human brain has certain characteristics (selected for by evolution) that makes it near impossible for it to be able to react to 100% of the driving situations. There are

I did too the first several times I read through it -- until I read every word individually. Most of the "r's" are on words at the beginning of a word group, but two of them are on words right next to each other.

The company I work for went with Auth0 for a new SAAS offering, partly because Auth0 kept beating Okta on price (at least for our use case).

Since the moon lander version has high-mounted Dracos to touch down without kicking up dust, would it be possible for Earth Starship to incorporate a similar design as a backup landing system?

The overall law had a good reason, to keep parents from transferring appreciating assets to their children (who wouldn't have any other income), in order to lessen the tax burden of those assets. So the tax code references any unearne

I always wondered what it would be like if Mars and Venus were swapped. Would Mars be warmer, or would it be even more devoid of atmosphere? And would Venus (with its greenhouse gas) be a more livable temperature if it was in Mars's

So if I look up the specs on a pair of Bose QC-35's, I won't get internet-stalked with ads for that specific pair of headphones for the next 3 weeks whenever I pull up a weather report? But in stead I may see an uptick in general
