This reply is a classic straw man (and one of the main reasons I left Facebook behind). You are making an assumption here that's wrong and I hate that I have to speak to what you've said here because you are reading words that I d

Hah! You know I really sat for a minute staring at my response thinking about changing it to "new commander player" but decided not to.

FNM is where all the Pro Tour wannabes go to 11. It's why your LGS is packed for Monday Night Modern but can't get eight people to show up to make a top 8 list for FNM. If they don't scoop out of frustration, they'll sta

"Semi-infinite" doesn't sound any less silly than "nearly impossible". Something which surely everyone in this thread has used before.

I have to preface my post to say that I think developing self-driving automobiles is so important that it's worth the implied cost of potentially tens of thousands of lives in order to perfect the technology, because that's what p

This system actually is renowned for false positives and generally poor classification with no recourse for fixing its mistakes. A funny and telling related story: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42580523

I am considering it right now for exactly the same reason. I'm almost your age, but I don't have a family. I don't have anywhere near your savings but I've done this once before with almost nothing, and I didn't hav

I still struggle mightily with it myself. If you're interested in pursuing it formally, a lot of what the old stoics said ended up in writing. Some of the most valuable ideas ever codified and they're freely available online or, i

But see, I don't care about your opinion. You asked me to clarify whether or not I find meesterdude's post antagonistic. I don't read posts on the internet in my head with an antagonistic voice. Meesterdude states repeatedly

Hmm. I guess I didn't read it with the same sort of antagonism that others might. It just sounds like he's saying he doesn't get it and that he doesn't see a way to React from his current way of thinking (e.g. Rails). I

Yeah, it's the ole "encrypted in transit" (implying unencrypted at rest) corporate spin gimmick. The data is "anonymized"... By itself. But if you just so happen to have some kind of reference dataset or index, well

To solicit insight that might help them better understand the perspective? That's why I would make a similar post, anyway.

Yeah, I got a first response within a few hours...... To a message about a critical accounting error Coinbase reported to the IRS. I sent the message in early March and -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- I haven't heard back since. It&#x27

Did you actually do any recruiting? Or are you like me and just sort of started inadvertently talking this way after a certain number of years?

This could be a great tool for use on the battlefield. Reminds me of the subvocal mics from the Shadowrun RPG, which was really a key piece of equipment to buy for any character working in a group.

In most of the companies I've worked in with this policy, it ended up being a net negative. One place I think did it right, but I'm not sure how much of that was by design. People err on the side of not taking PTO, and everyone

This argument is absurd. Any "reasonable, intelligent person" who's read basically any history book ever written would know that the United States would not descend into civil war with its military intact.

We do have a business account, if I'm reading the console correctly. I was wrong about the limit of 50. It is a limit of 100 droplets but this is an artificial limitation that they wouldn't budge on. It's clear from the (leng

This isn't related to block storage at all, but I was a big fan of DO until I hit a weird issue where they wanted me to prepay via PayPal to spin up more than 50 droplets at a time. I work in an organization that is spinning up many no

So the state tax code literally says, "For the privilege of doing business in the state". [0] Their words, not mine. Whatever way you describe or justify it, the state defines it in this way specifically. Also, sole proprietorship

All of the touchscreen UIs I used when I was in the infantry actually were mostly pretty good. The contractors seem to have been told explicitly that people will be wearing gloves or using knuckles in generally poor operating conditions. Th
