2017 - The potential tax law has already been passed, and the taxes are already coming home to the US, at the lower rate. Interesting historical information though.

Plenty of pixel based options that are actually quite nice, but the brilliance of Claris/MacDraw was its vector focus with a straightforward and powerful integration of interface and features. Haven’t found that combination together si

What I really really want is a Claris/MacDraw clone just slightly modernized. Most of the current options are painfully kludgy of over-featured.

Yep- there is a sports chat site I frequent that straight up locks out my browser when I come through corporate proxy- because they are blocking ad pages on proxy.

I'd avoid that site- from our Cisco proxy: "Based on your organization's access policies, this web site ( http://drona.csa.iisc.ernet.in/~chiru/datascience/iisclectur... ) has been blocked because i

The article mentions they don't know the trigger, and neither does Apple, but yes, once its locked, the password is useless, you need the correct answers to your security question or you're screwed.

So, looking at the screenshot, the GUI and language seem very HyperCard like- on purpose I assume?

It also would have literally meant the end of the world in a short period of time. Reactionless rockets with little to no cost or requiring high technical capability would lead to a terrorist shortly speeding up a hunk of lead to near light

I'd like to see quotas based on population for various countries- China and India would still get the lions share, but that would allow Europe and other geographies to get a fair number in to, so the big Indian body shops don't sn

Yep, make yourself 'invaluable' instead. If you're always returning a disproportionate value, whatever the task, you are doing it right. If you make yourself 'indispensable', the best that can happen is that you&#x2

This aligns with my observation and current impulse. I've been extremely hesitant to do my own startup- imposter syndrome maybe, but more likely healthy skepticism about the odds for success. Now that I'm in my mid-40s I'd be

What I think is happening is people are identifying machiavellian actions. Chinese actions aren't 'bad' per se- they are self-interested though- and often in a zero-sum context. The US, despite many deplorable actions by its

My first advice would be some self reflection- "My colleagues and Facebook friends haven't given me good job leads. I have been poor for a few years, and I'm not motivated to make new friends anymore. "I have a weak supp

The problem is that doesn't scale. If this spreads, it'll quickly grow beyond their ability to contain it.

Doubtful. Too far down the pike. What Amazon is great at is turning its own infrastructure needs into revenue instead of a cost- Marketplaces (White labeling it's shopping market) AWS (Digital Infrastucture) Shipping/Transport (FB

The problem with public sector unions are that they are a reverse monopsony. They collude with politicians to elect those who are willing to ignore economic reality and pay unsustainable wages/pensions/benefits[0]. Looking at plac

I work in Networking and I am floored at the same phenomenon playing out in that sector. My current job came from a referral from an acquaintance- and he had gone in C2H. I let him know that wasn't even an option for me- I have lots of

By implication it is positive for the Trump campaign and means there was no conspiracy with these actors- if there was a broad conspiracy there would have been no need for these Russians to hide their identities from their Trump counterpart

PE has little to nothing to do with Amazon's stock price. They have, as they have shown, complete ability to dictate the size of their earnings based on how much they want to spend on new research and infrastructure. Amazon could milk
