I caught that too, but the president doesn't have to sign a bill for it to become law. If its unsigned for 10 days and congress is in session then it takes effect.

I was researching vehicle safety for a new car purchase a few years ago and came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT3G-kcKN70 It freaked me out and I stay as far away as possible from semis on the road now

There is definitely a (relatively) small number people in the US who were harmed by globalization. The problem here is A) they have disproportionate political power and B) we lack a social safety net so they got hit harder than the should h

I think capitalism and socialism both address issues of scarcity, with one trying to direct resources to those who produce the most "value" and the other trying to ensure everyone has enough to get by. Not a lot of thought has gon

Yes, and a responsible publication would at least acknowledge their owners hand in the current mess.

This makes more sense. "Replace bitters with vodka" and "replace sweet vermouth with dry vermouth" have the same edit distance currently.

Using the school analogy, imagine if schools had a private component and a public component. All kids got an education there, but there would be an incentive to charge more for a better education. And an incentive to blur the lines between

That's interesting. I've wondered for a long time why non-healthcare industries don't lobby hard for universal healthcare. It's a huge cost and administrative nightmare.

There are definitely some (mostly) young, carefree people who actually opt-in to that lifestyle. They're probably overrepresented near a University. They have friends and family they could go stay with to get back into society at a mom

Mobile was obviously a big failure on their part, though I think their only misstep was being late to market. On the other hand bing has been good for them (and it's great for consumers). Hard to call a multi-million dollar business un

The idea that the investigation is coming up dry, or that there's no evidence, seems like willful ignorance. 34 people have been indicted, including the president's campaign chairman (Paul Manafort), campaign manager (Rick Gates),

WeWorks innovation is coming up with an office rental "product" that has high demand not being met by the market. Most property owners want long term leases because vacancies cost them money. Most freelancers and small businesses

> GitHub is in the strange position of being both a successful enterprise product AND a social network. What other product exists with that kind of crossover? LinkedIn comes to mind, which was also aquired by Microsoft.

I agree that cable companies suck, but would like to add that taking it out on low level employees also sucks.

I was having a problem with fruit flies around my used pods and compost bin so I started keeping them in the freezer. Worked like a charm.

These kind of problems can be solved or avoided altogether by a decent editor.

At a micro level, taking money out of a deposit and investing it does not create inequality. At a macro level, the fact that simply having wealth begets more wealth in a way that labor cannot accomplish is a driving force behind inequality.

Sure I get that. It's just visually I know that when I'm taking screenshots of app windows, and I have said windows open, I confuse myself sometimes. If I were trying to mockup a mockup app I'd want to use a different, visual

Invision must dogfood their own ui design tools, right? The thought of trying to mock up ui changes to their app within their app cracks me up.

That was annoying me the entire time I was reading this, the entire article has an unspoken assumption that their interview process couldn't possibly be responsible for any discrepancy in the data.

I think learning to code as a teen or adult is really easy if you have strong abstract reasoning skills and literacy skills. I don't teach my kids about coding, I do hit them with logic puzzles, math questions, and teach them to read.

I hate them too. There are a number of things wrong with them, discoverability is one of them but what really gets me is tracking state. Why do I need to guess at the state of things inside my head as I'm running commands, or query the

> Carlsen remains the better player, because he does better where it matters; time pressure. I disagree. Carlsen is the better player under time pressure, but they appear evenly matched in what I'd consider "actual" chess.

This assumes you're healthy and have no other responsibilities. A minor health problem would lead to ruin with this lifestyle, and it's just not possible if you have to care for family members.

I've known people who quit heroin and struggled to quit cigs. Which one is "harder" to quit is probably subjective and depends on the person, but there is a lot more going on than physical withdrawal symptoms.

Use a css preprocessor, and define variables with the technical names but classes that end up in html should have descriptive names. Something like this: $accent_1_700: #e60000; $accent_2_900: #ff9999; @mixin button_border($color)

There are a lot of .NET engineers who assume they can't use docker or run on Linux, and simultaneously a lot of other engineers who think if they build on .NET they'll be married to Windows or Azure. So I can see why the cross pla
