I've found through my experience that the choice of urgent care vs a non-urgent care doctor is more important than I have always thought: An urgent care center wants to focus on the shortest path to getting you relief (your story asid

I think OP's point is that its not "guaranteed" to do any of the things you listed. If the FED raises rates, the companies may want to hold it, as an example. Or if the best business application is to do a buyback or dividen

I disagree with your propaganda take on this because after i read this i finally understood the tax shelter piece (but maybe i'm naive). I do agree with everything else you said though. If I couple this with Warren Buffet recently adv

I've used, with plenty of success (ending around 5 years ago), both welocalize.com and lionbridge. We sent them .JS files, XML files, PDFs, and Word Documents. Some things to look for: Across multiple transactions with these [edit: lo

100% this. I showed my doc some stats once, and she looked a) annoyed; b) surprised; c) disbelieving. All of which i was not expecting. By the second child i was too tired to keep stats, so we winged it and the docs and I happily acknowled

oh man, this just ruined my day. You can normally see the difference immediately by color between farm and wild raised. At least they have to label it as color added now...

I'm going to buy one of these for my fire company. It took them (I'm told, I still wasn't there) 5 mins to get through my old 1960s solid wood door.

You should probably talk to your own home insurance company as well. Owning certain breeds raise your premiums already (at least ours does), and enabling strangers into your insured property to now potentially interact with those breeds pr

Maybe I'm seeing it wrong -- but "giving a company full access" isn't exactly right. Its more, you have "the ability to control who has access to your locks and Amazon is probably your biggest user". Some other

Yes, I assumed Amazon Shed as a personal outside-the-home locker would have been next, but installing a key and camera does seem probably cheaper.

i dunno... i just read about alphago zero. Only needed to teach it the rules of the game, and it thrashed the current level of cumulative human expertise (alpha go) 100-0 matches, which had just thrashed a single human the year before. Thi

I don't know if this adds or subtracts from your dystopian view, but the act of training the machine would introduce the same reasoning/bias flaws one has. (see the MIT moral machine)

I highly recommend planting some milkweed in that area. I've done just about the same as you, although the previous owner had planted the milkweed. The monarch butterflies rely on it, and they're currently in decline.

I agree with you on Netflix. 5th horsemen candidates on my short list: Microsoft and SoftBank. Tesla if they can stop burning money and cut out the hype? Verizon as a long stretch.

i think if they stumbled, google would be the buyer. or maybe microsoft. amazon already built their version of netflix, the only thing they would need to acquire is the original content, and consumers seem to be so fickle over content anyw

This is cool, nice job. And thanks for open sourcing the Jasonette code. I've done something similar to ST out of the same frustrations at work, but my use case was way more specific, and you took it way farther with better execution.

In my world, its not world-class if i don't get some SOX compliance around it. Its a cool example though.

yeah, but marking it "rustic" solves all my rough-looking problems :) The warping is definitely happening, but my table is also an outdoor patio table so its fine in this case. Thanks for advice though... will help on later proje

Have you had tough times sourcing your raw materials for construction? I'm finding it tougher/expensive at least in New Jersey.

I think the "cancelling" action you're saying would be some way to pay the loan companies off with US govt funding. So, as a US taxpayer who is almost done paying his student loans, I lose out. Twice, i think.

impressive, but i feel like this is why we invented computer models and have technology (maybe) to start returning immediate results. We're basically saying here that $60M (plus the other group) is better spent to see what weights to g
