After having multiple inkjet printers die or have cartridges "expire" well before we'd used up all the ink we switched to an HP laserjet. Costs far more upfront but paid off in minimized frustration over the years. Am on my

See a doctor, get a referral to an ergonomic specialist. Immediate action: try wearing a wrist brace, at least on the right hand. This will make a lot of activities difficult to do. That is the point. In 1993 I went on a multi–night bende

I support the goals of the ACA, but the law as written is a horrible hack which tries to implement a national health insurance system, without actually doing so or calling it that. It weaves together multiple semi-separate existing systems,

LOL. Down voting. Look, if you come into a highly regulated and highly personal market as AirBnb did in NYC, you simply can't be surprised at the reaction by politicians, if you are then you are incredibly naive.

New York City has very little direct authority, most (not all) City legislation must be passed separately by the State legislature and signed by the Governor to be effective law. For example, the City had to request the State to lower the s

AirBnb can't be surprised, NYC is one of the most contentious markets for renters and landlords. There's far more tenants than potential AirBnb landlords. While the hotel industry may well have made campaign contributions to swa

I learned Ada in a survey course in the late 1980s. My impression was that it was perfectly fine, but no one was hiring Ada programmers other than in the immediate DC area. There were few public libraries to do stuff (compared with C or For

The music and book are excellent. The music samples from a variety of hip/hop and rap from the 70s-80s and early 90s, hitting a core demographic of Broadway attendees (30-40 somethings). The book is a fairly decent summary of the biog

My advice: drop it, but don't use the same people as references again. Whether a reference is good, bad, or mixed is entirely in the eye of the interviewer/reference checker. The interviewer could have asked some question like &qu

In New York City the minimum has been 400 sq feet (approximately 37 metres squared) since 1987, however a Bloomberg era experiment allowed creation of so–called microapartments in the 250-350 square foot range.
