No. It's a shared mission. Both the NSC and CDC have significant national security crossover. And I would encourage curious people to research the reasoning behind some of the proposed CDC budget reductions. I can see how the term &quo

That's a real treasure trove of context.

Got it! Sorry. I thought I might not have absorbed the sarcasm.

If I understand correctly, why do you think it's proper for the organizers and attendees of SXSW who would lose money if the event was cancelled, then be compensated for such losses by other individuals who DO NOT consent to bear such

Would you disqualify other novels based in the politics and distinct time periods in other countries?

Absolutely agree! I even do this with a local Chinese restaurant. We email them our order and they'll call back if there's a question. They only called back once on a pretty big order.

The wisest comment yet!

I found this great food delivery app. It's you! How it works is, you actually call and speak to someone at the restaurant you want to order from. They take your order, and at a pre-arranged time, you get into your car and go pick it up

We'll see. I've got enough money to survive single-payer, do you?

by grayed-down 7y ago
Would the right thing be single-payer or what would have to replace it once the economy and the medical profession have been destroyed?

by grayed-down 7y ago
My neighbor, a colorectal surgeon and very into what he does, has remarked on several occasions that if single payer ever happens, he and most of the other surgeons he knows will likely walk away from the profession very shortly thereafter.

Why learn another language when you can just talk louder?

I feel your disdain! I'm an old-timer and remember complaining about using those new-fangled cascading style sheets instead of just putting everything in html tag attributes. And don't get me started about having been forced to us

I'm game. What's your plan?

by grayed-down 7y ago
I'm not going to disagree with anything you've said. I would just maintain that connecting policy initiatives to the real world does tend to be rather complex in terms of budgeting, administration, staffing and oversight. Now this

by grayed-down 7y ago
Of course you're getting grayed down for stating the obvious because you CANNOT be telling HN readers that policy issues are too complex for them to understand. You can tell me that some policy issues are too complex for me to understa

Absolutely. I should have added that such new features whatever they may be could be touted as the lever to move Perl 5 to Perl 7 and be done with the whole Perl 6 thing. And whatever name is given to Perl 6, great. Let it find its way in t

A terrific and inspirational story!
50.
by grayed-down 7y ago
This is a great idea. If Perl 6 got a new name, some new branding, and Perl 5 added a few new features and polish, the language would suddenly awaken from its 20 year nightmare.

Got it. Thanks. I'm out on the periphery, and while I'm aware of the protocol, I'm rather new to OAuth on a development level. After looking at the cURL site, it looks like someone had the need and the will to bake in kerbero

by grayed-down 7y ago
Your comment is very interesting, but I have to ask, perhaps naively, is curl the right place "to do OAuth"? Isn't its implementation more of an application level initiative? I am interested in this because we're startin

A client of ours bought a CRM on Codecanyon and I have to say that it's pretty impressive. It's called Perfex. It's written in CodeIgniter and has a lot of hooks so we were able to trick it out quite extensively. And it will

I don't know Karl Hughes, but I think I hate him. Gray me down.

Ha. It sounds like you're not so sure yourself. I'm just just telling you what the guy said.

Great response! I've mentioned this anecdote here in HN before, but it always bears repeating. I recently saw a youtube video discussing the odds of even the simplest protein just spontaneously assembling under any circumstance. It was

Test and debate all you want, but if your application needs random data and it has access or intermittent access to the internet, use the Cesium isotope 137 :) https://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/

I believe Carter, Reagan and Hillary Clinton have made remarks during their candidacies about getting more information out on this particular topic. And then the candidate wins the election. God only knows what they get briefed on, but I ha

Same here, only inverted! There are so many people without dietary restrictions in my admittedly red/conservative circles that no one really bats an eye at anyone else's diet.

It was a rhetorical question based on a well established meme, but HN is generally a humor-free zone. And does one really need a philosophy degree to seek the truth? It's not that hard to find.
