Trump responds to stories from cable news by making policy on the fly. Trump called the director of the National Parks system to tell him to produce pictures that show more people at the inauguration. Trump sent Sean Spicer out in front of

I live in Indiana, and I've been living under a Pence government with a Republican supermajority for the last 4 years. It's better than Trump. Yeah, Pence picks ridiculous fights that cost the state a lot of money and he's a

This assumes there are no downsides to not receiving any new data from these agencies for 4 years (or 8).

I disagree. I was in college during the Wii's run, and it was the only console my friends and I played together (though several of us had other consoles). Games like Smash Bros, Super Mario Strikers, and even Wii Tennis were at least w

Except that premiums have increased slower in the 5 years after ACA than the 2 5-year periods before [1] and the rate of expenditures, while not decreasing, is basically unchanged after ACA [2]. [1] http://www.factcheck.org/

You might be interested in the episode of 99 Percent Invisible [1] that talks about how an architect was tasked with designing a bunch of housing for very poor residents in Chile after a disaster. He chose to build half-houses that are lite

If the girls that don't sleep with their sponsors inevitably lose their sponsors, I think there is likely a legal case to be made that that is prostitution. The same could be said of canonical prostitution: some people pay prostitutes

"It's unfortunate, because there's probably a place for a responsibly-managed online clearinghouse for adult services." This is interesting, but unfortunately, doing so would probably be illegal, so it will likely be sha

I think the parent means that they would revoke the tickets from you and put them back for sale, but there was no reason for the time crunch, because there weren't other people looking for tickets at the time.

There was some internet co-op type company whose name escapes me right now, but they basically did this kind of work for farmers (and would be very helpful for newcomers). The idea was that every farmer who is a member will put in their cro

My point is that the NSL is supposed to be secret, not just for its contents, but the existence of the letter. So, dragging a CEO off publicly would almost certainly expose the existence of the NSL.

Who do they jail? You can't jail a corporation, so do they jail the CEO? The lawyer who sends the letter saying they won't comply? Either way, isn't that just begging for that information to be made public? Suddenly, Sundar P

I agree, but there are other users who might not trust that their comments won't be invisibly altered. The specific incident is not very troubling, but the fact that it occurred at all is.

I'm not sure if there's a commonly accepted way to handle the logistics of this, but I'd love to see a blog post from them about how they manage this on a site with so many active users at all times. I guess you start with ba

It already feels very weird to me to walk into an Apple store, check out on my own phone, and just walk out with product. This will take some getting used to.

Indianapolis has a group called Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (KIB) that works to beautify the city and help decrease long term maintenance costs to the city. To that end, every year they plant thousands of trees, often removing entire plots

There is a reason that companies become less outward about their employees' beliefs when they become large, and it's to protect the company first. If the bigpharma company I work for takes a stance on an issue that doesn't ha

One problem, though, is that many students whose loans are becoming problematic were in school during the financial trouble leading up to 2008 and 2009. During that recession, people without degrees had negative growth in jobs (job loss), w

The bad news is that the filibuster is very likely to be done away with because it is the only thing stopping the Republicans from doing literally anything they want. And the map in 2018 doesn't look good for the Democrats.

Maybe in some part, but there are also people at Visa who have to run the servers, create business agreements, manage people, etc whose jobs are at risk in a shrinking company.

I think it's worse than that. This particular person is in a position to likely make enough money to not need to worry about the cost of management of this land. What if his kids aren't as rich or don't care as much about nat

For one thing, if this is research, the subjects should know that and the protocol should be approved by an IRB. Instead, they are selling it as a product, so it should meet the standards of safety that other food products do. Personally, I

I wonder if another fidget would help. I just heard a recommendation in this week's MacBreak Weekly, but I don't remember the name of the company. Maybe it was called Fidgetopia?

Why would you assume I was attached to a stationary box? The headphones go to my phone in my pocket, but there's still extra cord that doesn't stay in my pocket if I put it there.

Where I work, there are 4 levels of my job, none of which are management. That is to say that someone can work an entire career as a research associate and take on more responsibility, but not be forced up the org chart. This is very import

I don't know what that has to do with wireless, but I'm new to iPhone, so I might be missing something. Regardless, I think a lot of people love 3D touch, and it shows in /r/iPhone. The problem (especially because I&#x

I have to take them on and off a lot for various meetings and encounters. There is probably some solution, but wireless is likely to be the most simple, in my opinion.
