This is overall a good move if we want a chance to greatly slow the spread. However it needs to be coordinated with the rest of the country if we want to minimize the total downtime. Shutting down Washington now and having to wait weeks for

One argument I never see in UBI discussions is that some people are just bad with money. If you give more money to someone who doesn't budget, save, live within their means, etc, it won't help. There are people who spend beyond th

Maybe Benchmark is hoping for a situation like Zenefit's. Ousted the CEO and accused him of fraud. Then they effectively increased their investor and employee ownership stakes at the former CEO's expense.

Contents of the PoC are a ".zip" file that is actually plain-text (the engine ignores extension/mime types) and contains just this line of JS and 90kb of nonsense JS for entropy. (new Error()).toString.call({message: 0x41414

Isolation: It's hard not being around others from a social perspective. When you have no coworkers to vent to, celebrate with, or collaborate with, you get higher highs and lower lows since everything is internal. Accountability: You&

I wonder how this can be viable. The closing and transaction fees (agent/title/escrow/closing/excise) make it tough for many home-flippers to overcome and make a profit if no major renovations are done. 2-5% for closin

Never used RethinkDB, but this is the first time I've seen an announcement this written as "we are shutting down, the team is moving to Stripe" rather than "We've been acquired by Stripe! Nothing will change except

I guess another way to put it is "I don't know what the truth is" is somewhat inconsistent with "there's no harm in cutting back on". For instance, if someone said "drinking water decreases your sodium lev

I always hear the platitude "don't eat too much". I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who "wants to eat too much". It's like telling people "drive safely". Nobody is trying to get in a

Yea, same thing is true of commercial milk. Apparently they skim off all the fat and just add it back in to make 1%/2% etc. Who knows, they may even do it for whole milk so that the percentage (and taste/texture) are consistent

I don't get why fried foods are still demonized. If you use, say coconut oil or avocado oil and stay under the smoke points (so the oils dont break down), what's the problem? Maybe there's an assumption that this means comme

I can't remember which paper I read it in, but it said the amount of oxidation that happens normally as your body functions significantly dwarfs the amount of antioxidant effects you can get by eating antioxidant containing food. Seems

Similar story here, for everything that they test for in the bloodwork, results markedly improved (as well as weight loss). But if you tell them how you achieved it, its "Well you should eat less fat, especially saturated."

The harm is that you may end up replacing those foods with ones that may actually be to linked heart disease. You still have to eat a certain number of calories, so replacing red meat/fried food/saturated fat with say, bread or r

Going on 4 hours of downtime here, this is a disaster. Linode used to be really honest about the status of things, this time, they claim "most linodes should be booted" which seems not to be true.

I use the Netbeans IDE debugger. It can get hung and crash your rails app if you put breakpoints in certain places, but it's pretty good for simple debugging.

Thanks for the kind words, always working on improving the accuracy, but we've had pretty good success so far, even on the production versions of some of the most popular sites.

That's a good question, and one I've been thinking about a lot. Pricing is a tricky thing, so I went ahead and used the competitors models for pricing based on subscription. It's certainly possible a per page or per test model might work b

Why does everyone think people will pay to 'control' their network? None I know 'pay' to restrict IM, IRC, newsgroup posts, etc, so why should this be different?
