With facebook you didn't need that. You'd just need a picture.. and it would auto suggest who they are. That's what got them into trouble with the IL Biometric privacy law.

They do private events for your friends you're already connected to well. However, they don't do social private groups well at all. For them it's all or nothing. Meetup, unfortunately, is still used for that. They either forc

Yes/No. You can get a California zephyer ticket from Chicago->Seattle for 160 in coach one way. That's a really good deal for 2k+ miles, generous baggage allowance, etc (if you can tolerate that). Sleepers can go 1k+ for the 2.

My reaction to this is... if you're writing tests for pointless things to test.. it means that your testing framework/approach may not be giving you more of what you need... or it could be a defect in the language. In Unit testing

That's a sign that you're burrying too much functionality to make testing reasonable. It's a sign that you should start splitting that out to more generic functions. Scala is great about making these functions generic. Java h
