Poverty rates have actually increased since the introduction of welfare and welfare reform in the US. Long term stability of your proposal aside (see the jump in Disability dependencies that followed the welfare reform), it doesn't ma

Out of the literally hundreds of thousands of other games, those are just outliers. Even if you named another 200 of them, they would not be statistically significant to the whole list.

As mentioned, this can be done with Chef, Puppet, and Salt, but be careful about how you go about it. It is important to recognize when it is best to leverage AD for your Windows configs. It is easy to fall down the rabbit hole of trying t

rbenv is a great way to get whatever version of ruby you want up and going fast. Install a couple dependencies, clone the git repo, and run the install.sh. I went from never using it to running on CentOS 6 in a half hour.

Curious, what is the term for a new business that looks to establish steady long-term profitability instead of the grow and cashout model? Knowing would make googling for the profit focused version of HN much easier.

Seems to me that thinking foodtrucks are only run by immigrants would make you the racist. He never said anything about the background of the owners and operators. Thanks for playing the blind accusation game though. You get an A for effo

A lot of it probably stems from the use cases. Most Linux distros have the "out of the box" use case down. When people start to fiddle with it or push the limits, they increasingly change their tone. Nothing fanatical about it. Just diff

When I was in school for a B.S., I settled on accounting for this very reason. There was already talk about massive outsourcing of IT and tech jobs in the late 90's. I was already working in the tech field before I graduated so experience

I think you have a valid point, but my experience is that it is not nearly as rosy a picture for men. Most women I came across while dating in my early thirties were not open to the idea of a 5+ year difference. Many women in their mid-twe

Those extra kilowatts can be sold to other areas. That is exactly what is happening in most instances. You can't sell the left over bandwidth of an infrastructure you provide to a consumer.

Just curious, but why bother fighting a privacy act if you think that the government could not be overthrown in revolution? If the government wants it, they will take it since nothing can stop them.

I guess if I had to restate my point it would be this: We can't determine the equality or value of the Bill of Rights liberties because they are interdependent and it many cases an "apples and oranges" comparison. You can only derive their

The reason why you don't see people try to quarter troops is because of the 3rd amendment. You can't say it doesn't apply to today's society. The reason why today's society adapted to its current form is because it was agreed that it was

Your statements have way more to do with your personal views then any facts. As a person that lives in the Bible Belt, I can tell you that a significant number of folks that do not think America is the best. Many do believe it was at one t

So because the Democrats didn't have total control on Congress, they aren't responsible for the failures to drive issues forward? They had a majority. They should step up and take ownership for their part. I remember when we expected stat

That is a very subjective measure. Would be interesting to see a study about whether women actually correlate social awkwardness with inappropriate behavior or unwanted behavior. If the guy is super charming and does the same thing, do th

Maybe you didn't mean to use that example, but I think your point is kind of defeated if you say when women are simply being conservative or cautious and append that to a very non-cautious act. Getting sloshed is not the cautious way to go

The CrimsonCap distro has supported side-by-side Python2 and Python3 for awhile now. There is already a process underway to get the larger components migrated to Python3. Sure the process isn't 100% complete, but it is hardly 10 years behi

So eventually Ron Paul will be trying to push us back to the Bitcoin standard?

The blockchain is simply a tool. A bank ledger is not actively trying to scam you out of your money either. It is the people involved that do so. There has been plenty of shady dealings around Bitcoin already.

Not that I would necessarily agree to it, but I imagine the argument would be that the legislation and regulation is our expectations in writing. We trust the banks to up hold those expectations. When that trust is broken, they are punish

My concern with the license isn't legal so much as pain of administration. Maybe I'm just old fashion or lazy, but I prefer not to have to check my kernel repo against my kernel module repo to make sure they play nice. It is so much easie

Oddly enough, in international law you normally accuse them if you only have hearsay. If you have proof, then normally you are beyond any sort of international intervention either because you will let it slide anyway or you already plan to

The UN fails at it because that is not what it is designed to do. It is supposed to be an organization to drive international cooperation. Any attempt or hope to make the UN anything else is a waste of time. It is not a government body w

Both of those cases would be discrimination. Please go find a dictionary. The real question is whether those forms of discrimination are acceptable. I would argue yes for both of those cases. I believe people should be able to choose the

Feel free to quote the part where I say they actually discriminate. You can take whatever you want from it. Not sure if you are taking from anything I said though....

I'm not looking for anything. Just defining how one might determine if PyLadies was actually discriminating instead of just making claims that were unrelated to discrimination. Even admitted that I don't how they work. Reading their page

Whether or not it hurts men has nothing to do with discrimination. If the group does not allow men to join or benefit from it's opportunities, it is discrimination. The question is whether or not PyLadies allows men to join as full members

There is plenty of commentary from the founders to indicate that. Judges are suppose to be above the "rule by mob" mentality. Choosing justices according to hot topic political views as we have been recently is directly counter to the who
