The average across all users is $12, but I suspect the average over people willing to pay for Blue is likely higher than that. It's can be a Catch-22 in some cases. The same people most willing to pay to opt-out are the ones most cove

Did anyone catch this in the comments below? > There is one major category of wealth-producing activity that I just thought of that I did leave out. I'll leave it as an exercise to see if anyone can figure it out :-) I'll post

You are likely going to find more hobby-specific sites. If you list some hobbies, people may have more concrete recommendations.

The general amnesty granted to Confederate soldiers at the end of the Civil War, though not without controversy, was an important step in the reunification of the nation.

The problem with your idea is that the court is sometimes weighing/balancing competing rights and responsibilities from separate parts of the Constitution. For example, when is a church’s hiring practice an equal protection violation?

I have a similar address and get a lot of similar email. My personal favorite was a contract offer to play for a minor league baseball team in the Midwest a few summers back. I also once got hired by the National Park Service for what sound

The headline is a bit misleading. Is it “Reddit” as a company shutting it down, or an unpaid mod team? Is the AMA mod team employed by the company?

They might, because it keeps them in the cohort for next year. I don’t think a lot of Harvard kids are going to drop out and head to state school, and Harvard knows it.

How so? If they achieved the same results as others on roughly the same timeline, yet with more deaths, how is that a successful strategy?

We don’t need to reopen schools to solve the meal problem. My school district kept providing meals even after the school itself was closed.

How does that work, legally? I’m not a lawyer, but it seems like a competing business that didn’t get the discount could sue Uber for racial discrimination.

You don’t even need ML. Let’s say you use some standard encryption routine to turn text into a string of numbers. You could then use those numbers as an index into another text corpus, let’s say a known copy of the Bible. The only hiccup w

I'd be cautious here. Especially this year, polling locations are moving around in response to COVID (mine moved for the primary, and its unclear if its moving back for the general election or not). A mailer with the wrong polling lo

This is a good reminder that sometimes the plaintiff in a major decision like this often doesn’t have the strongest ideological link to the issue at hand, but the facts of their specific case made it the best exemplar to bring before the Su

I don't run a German website, so I can't give you exact numbers, but in my experience, software can often default to something like 'en-US' in a variety of cases where you might not expect it to. This is especially commo

This is only a good suggestion if all the other people in Germany that want German content have their browser languages correctly configured. My guess is that they don’t, and this fix would hurt more users than it helps.

Is it really voluntary choosing not to work when the state is telling you to stay home and you comply? Again, it’s a really terrible way to treat your employees.

How should an employee react in this situation? Your boss tells you to come to work, and the govt is saying your workplace should be closed. Can you fire someone for refusing to report when the county is supposed to be closed? What an awful

That would depend entirely on the specifics of the situation. If management wants to waste money on something stupid and I’ve given my advice, that is their problem, not mine. If they are violating the law, that’s an entirely different matt

GPL allows you to change the name. I'm not aware of an open source license that prevents someone from renaming the software to whatever they want.

Just because they are selling something on eBay doesn't mean they are violating the GPL. They are allowed to take your code, modify it, and sell it. If the CD they are distributing contains their modified code, or a link to where it ca

So, the patent office puts out a document telling examiners exactly what to look for, and applicants read that document and use it to craft their applications. Examiners get what they are looking for. I’m honestly not seeing what the major

Not sure what the EFF is trying to get at here. After the decision, it says rejections rose 31%, but now they have fallen back down. The EFF contends this is because the Patent Office is ignoring the law, but they don't offer any evide

These are crazy times. Most companies are cancelling their intern programs outright, or switching to more limited, remote work options. Finding a summer internship right now is going to be really difficult.
