Did you see the divisiveness created by the Affordable care Act? Every democrat voted for it and every republican voted against it. It was forced through and many people complained bitterly about it. The affordable care act is not even a

It's interesting that the nyt is covering basic income. I wonder if it would be possible to institute basic income as a policy without significant social unrest. It seems unlikely to me that basic income would be accepted politically

Very interesting. You say "Within an hour or so each GET shows up in the logs for the S3 bucket wherever we’re sending the logs for our S3 example.bucket." Is this frequency configurable? I also see at the link below that the l

It's actually worse than that. The teachers and administration are very concerned about the test scores. Now they are compelled to buy the lesson plans and other materials from the same private corporation that creates the test. Eve

It's funny, because to change it, you have to admit that the way you were doing it before is not effective. I've come across many people who admit that they are bad at being interviewed, but very few people I meet have admitted t

For the most party it is rebranding. This stuff has been going on for years in various industries. There's nothing wrong with rebranding and it's great of it gets more industries involved. You could say that when statistical re

It's just poor reporting. I think they're misunderstanding their sources. I agree with you that the source is DNS, and they mean, "her email domain" was reconfigured, rather than her server.

Clinton employs a large staff of people, some of whom are apparently email experts. I think that probably helps to reduce the allergy symptoms.

The interesting thing about new financial instruments is to try to figure out the risks for all parties involved. What I'm not really getting here is that from the perspective of the company, this is like a loan with a really high int

Looks good for the basics, but as some other folks mentioned here, it would benefit from some articles about design, and even more importantly, rationale. I hear from so many programmers "why?" They don't understand the ben

I think that 15 years ago that was true of Korean manufacturers, and look at them now. Hyundai was a brand that was fairly reliable, but was ridiculed in popular media. Now it's on par with Japanese brands and often considered premiu

Is there a lightweight solution for centralized logging with full text search and a nice UI? ELK seems like it requires some serious RAM and cores even if you are just talking about elasticsearch. Is there a similar solution that works we

With the ACA, this is no longer true, at least in NY. When I was an employee in 2013, my premium healthcare plan cost ~2400 / month for my family. I only paid half of that, but my employer was pying the other half. Now I am contract

Maybe I'm being naive, but there can be something else that the non-technical founder brings that is equally valuable to the tech stuff: paying customers. If they have actual customers that are ready to pay, then the deal may be worth

That was one of the tidbits buried in the article: The big lesson here: Don't underestimate the power of traditional media when you launch. It must be your primary concern, starting months beforehand and continuing for weeks afterw

This article was great. I especially liked: “Oh my God,” I thought. “This total stranger, whoever he or she is, thinks I cry myself to sleep while watching public television and texting a paid fake boyfriend I named after an actor.”

Is it the ads? Most malware is distributed through ads. I don't think there's a risk in AdWords text based ads, but the display ads frequently include malicious software. That and download.com. I'm glad I use the ad block

In case anyone else was wondering what "ability to control P-States and C-States" is about, I think this is a useful reference [1]. I guess with the C4-8Xlarge you control the entire physical machine and you can enable additional

In a similar context, title is often used by management as something that incurs little or zero cost to give to employees to make them feel better. Beware of "I didn't get (much of) a raise but I got a promotion"

The problem with this statement is that for it to be true, everything referenced in the agreement has to exist in the blockchain. The system can't seize collateral that is real property. That still needs to be enforced by the courts

Good point. I like to browse github projects by stars and npm packages by downloads which helps to identify the popular software. The search engines are not really optimized for this usage though, and long form reviews would be a nice add
