I wrote a grease monkey script that allowed you to annotate a website and save the notes permanently to local storage. It had all of the above features. The only real limitation is the sandboxing.

Why is that a problem? Because it gets less diversified?

Works until you carry something into the area that wasn't made there. Where do I throw away the packaging from the Vietnamese cookies I bought while on vacation? Or what do you do when a new recycling process is now able to handle (ima

I think the variation at each point is that he says "charge more because (some detail about the askers customers/costs/business model)".

So...you are agreeing with me that this has been upvoted based on origin and not content, and you're just repeating what I said to reinforce the point?
96.
by jacalata 9y ago
Indeed. The number of votes this has received is an amusing insight into how many people must upvote based on origin and not content. If this were published on some anonymous medium blog, it would be lucky to be +2.

Well, that was certainly general.

Who is advocating writing tests before specs? I've never heard anyone say TDD involves that. In this article he even defines the term: "TDD is the process of writing automated tests to ensure that code works before writing the imp

The free market discriminated against black people in the US very effectively, even after the government attempted to enforce non-discrimination (see redlining).

In my (not too vast) experience none of the big companies contract out intern hiring, so I'd assume they were internal.

How does it keep happening if you know about the previous instances? Does each student just stubbornly repeat the same conversation?

At that point you're just arguing that capitalism has never existed, so perhaps you should use another term for your "true Scotsman" version to reduce confusion when talking to people who use the common definition.

Nobody has made that claim in this thread. The positive claim we are discussing is still Vonneguts quote.

Serious question, have you really interacted with anyone who pretends that immigration law doesn't exist? Or are you using that as an uncharitable re-phrasing of the more likely attitude that immigration law as it currently exists shou

Why don't these crazy animal people spend their energy trying to get dog kennels to open a restaurant, instead of trying to make the rest of the world put up with their animals?

It's ok to say "it doesn't appear to" but the onus of evidence is always on someone making a positive claim. It's safe to say that children have historically not been sheltered from many things that are today defini

Because Vonnegut made an affirmative claim that this doesn't hurt children, and the comment was challenging that claim. I didn't notice anyone making a claim that it definitely does hurt children.

The rest of the questions seem valid though.

My boyfriend got his current job when my friend mentioned that her friend had the same degree as him and had mentioned the company was hiring, would he like to be put in touch? The company is about 15 people altogether.

"Humanity" may be overstating it. In Brazil people very commonly use WhatsApp to send short spoken messages, for instance.

For a start, it's not USD (why on earth would an Australian organization talk about costs in USD?). And of course we know it includes requirements completely unrelated to ALPR, it connects to a bunch of existing databases and systems t

Yes, I was arguing that your assumption was wrong.

To even begin to answer your question, you'd need to know what the project included besides the software that OpenALPR could theoretically replace. Like how much hardware has it bought? How much of that money went to paying police offi

Then it would be useless to the people who spent the money, because they wouldn't have the cars and cameras and ongoing support and research that they wanted to spend that money on.

The Victorian police system was first running in cars on public roads in 2012. No doubt there are plenty of solutions available today that have been developed since then, but they probably weren't considered at the time. That $86m has

What is that even supposed to mean? You donated money to immigrants, maybe? Unlike what you imagine other Seattlites do? Also, it's silly to think that you'd have to own a house to be part of the "taking their homes" equ
