Can you perform the same model/garment fit with an uploaded model image? If so this would be revolutionary in reducing returns of online garment shopping. To see how a garment stretches when put on consumer's body type would be ve

To add to this I would like to say that if you do reach out to candidates be cognizant of the fact that you interrupted their life with this solicitation so be sure you provide all relevant information about the job, position, duties and de

> The difference is often less than a penny. But it adds up for larger trades. Schwab, for instance, says that for orders of 500 to 1,999 shares of S&P 500 companies, the average savings from price improvement is $10.80. Ok and Schwa

We have an EM who took on grunt work (but critical) so the team could focus on tasks on the charter of the team. Personally I really appreciated that because otherwise the team would have had to spend a few sprints doing the grunt work. His

If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to see it or hear it fall? That seems to be Google's logic for not disclosing this.

The feedback might have been good but the tone of those comments had hint of snark. Considering the product is to help you remove negative sentiment from your responses I would say they were good use cases. replace blathering and blabber wi

That is genuinely funny!! Might be an accurate estimate too!

Why not just emit the sound when going below a certain speed AND ONLY IF there are pedestrians closer than a certain distance? That would be more expensive for sure but doesn't cause unnecessary sound pollution.

The cup example was to show that people are dumb enough to sue a cafe because they got burned by hot coffee. It's an example of overreaction. Instead of thinking "I ordered a hot coffee, maybe this cup is going to be hot and I sho

You have to beware of overreaction to the bad investment. Generally folks are not savvy investors. Just look at the large number of small investors in the stock markets. When greed takes hold or FOMO does and lots of people lose money it wi

You should watch the episode of Black Mirror where a game developer creates a horror game with a neural link causing the gamer to "see" and "feel" things that aren't there. It goes horribly wrong. Let's hope th

Does LinkedIn have a different policy regarding scraping LinkedIn pages if you are an extension vs. a crawler? I read recently that LinkedIn is fighting tooth and nail to prevent crawlers from scraping their content. Just curious. EDIT: Fou

The gains only come if they exchange the ETH for USD for a profit. If they hold on to the ETH there is no gain hence no tax to be paid. Again it seems the more I read about this discussion the more all of these "cryptocurrencies"

I'm not a fan of cryptocurrencies myself but I am trying to argue the spirit of the transaction which considered ETH as a currency. Legally I am with you 100% that the investors are out of luck. That's the price of "investing

I was considering ETH to be a commodity like candies. That might not be technically a fair comparison. Replace candies with another currency. GBP or Euro.

by palakchokshi 9y ago
Agreed. Like I said IF you consider ETH a currency. If you don't then that's an argument against all cryptocurrencies in general.

by palakchokshi 9y ago
No sorry if you consider ETH to be a currency and payment was made in that currency then repayment is expected in that currency. Let's say you borrow US$1000 from a friend. That $1000 would have bought 1000 candies when you borrowed t
