   No it's not. A fiduciary duty is not the same as a legal duty. Though they can overlap.

   In this case, it's basically where when the presenter is speaking, the music quiets at the exact moment, so you can hear more clearly but still have the music.

   Is this just an opinion, or do you have any data on this?

   Do you happen to have any examples of where induced demand has not happened? My understanding is that it is pretty much guaranteed, especially in larger cities. I think New York's bridges and tunnels are the canonical examples of this.

   I'm using the jquery simpleweather for a chrome extension at the moment. This looks like a direct replacement. I'm using jquery elsewhere in the extension, but as long as this works the same I see no reason not to switch, one fewe

   Everyone starts out that way. Some stop, some turn into stereotypical bad people. It's a real shame when anyone at the first stage overdoses and dies. Still a shame for the latter group, but they have more culpability for their own dea

    I didn't get the impression that it was symmetrical from the picture, and I was browsing on a phone. I guess it could have been more clearly marked though. Plus, as the other reply noted, the "problem" wouldn't have been

    I don't know what they used for this project, but I have built similar things with the recently-released Particle Electron that I got on Kickstarter, though now I believe it's released widely. Works really great, I was using the S

    I agree, and if you can come up with a way to get paid for this indirectly, like perhaps with Amazon referral links or something, even better. That way you're creating value for someone else, they don't have to pay for that value,

    >If they pay sales tax, that should more than cover policing costs. I don't think this logically follows. They may in fact be using more police resources than their sales taxes pay for, but either way you can't just say that be

    I have a lot of half-finished projects kicking around that I would love to start on github, but I'm concerned about privacy and it certainly isn't worth it to me to pay $7/mo rather than keeping them on my Dropbox. I haven&#x

    Cool! Looking at the English instructors, it appears that the two you have are from the UK and South Africa. Although English was their first language according to their respective bios, my understanding is that people wanting to learn Engl

    Why? Surely experienced programmers, who are being asked to do the work before giving a cost estimate, know the difference between a project that will take 48 hours and one that will take five years. Plus they charge, if I read correctly, a

    Cool! But these are indeed small tasks. From the site: 18,469 lines of code written, approved, and delivered 137 projects lovingly completed So that would be 134 lines of code per project?

    Thanks for the response. It works pretty well, but probably not in 100% of cases, so it could use a little tweaking from someone more knowledgeable of the codebase. It doesn't break anything else though for sure. Really liked working o

    Of course it's not a coincidence. It's some pen name of some author trying to be clever while chuckling to themselves about their high-brow inside joke.

    Bernie Sanders seems like the only candidate in a long time that would be tough on this stuff, though they all promise to be tough on Wall Street.
