Leaving work for childcare is currently a valid reason to go on unemployment. They should try to work this out with one of their employers. They could each go down to 50% time and pay and be supplemented by unemployment currently. There

That would be the opposite of paying your loan.

Yeah, my wife and I went to the spoonbread festival a few weeks ago it was a lot of fun. The college does a lot of cool things in the area. A lot of the classes in the area for crafts and such are nice.

Yeah, that's a huge issue. The ability for the local talent to share their expertise with each other is important too. I agree, but there are solutions to the problem. More meetups and groups have been started in the area, Lexington

I don't know what the exact cause is, but I got the impression the reason 50 were admitted was that there was a limit to the scale of the program, not that everyone else was unqualified. The article mentioned they are admitting 90 the

Very true. UK, U of L, and many other schools in the state produce solid devs. And you're right a lot of the better grads leave for better jobs. But I wouldn't agree that there are no "good" jobs here. The salary is

I had 400 level EE classes with a couple guys who came up through community colleges. They weren't always prepared for the classes. It was ironic because it wasn't they didn't understand the previous material, but because t

How are you getting unlimited books? I'm limited to the few hundred my local library has.

I've invested and mined crypto before, but this is worrying to me. There are enough payday loan offices and gas stations minting money off lottery tickets in Kentucky. The consensus is people keep going to them because it allows them

I think a lot of work has been undertaken for a ROS1->2 bridge. It should be feasible to use this to have ROS on a micro and bridge to an existing ROS 1 code base.

They are moving to ament. http://design.ros2.org/articles/ament.html I think a lot of the difficulty is in the build system being federated. This makes it complex as it supports multiple build other systems for other

I think the last paragraph in the article is key, the most interesting and tiring arguments are the ones where both parties believe the other is arguing from the gut and have retroactively reasoned while they are being perfectly rational.

I spent a good amount of time working with Brillo when Google was first pushing it. The thing I liked most about working with it was the system they had for OTA updates. Even in beta they had support for staged rollouts with some analytic

I would really like to talk to some VC's, unfortunately I'm based in the Midwest, it might as well be the majove as far as funding goes or so I understand. So I'm trying to get a sizable MVP and traction before spending time

Yes and they vary drastically. Federal courts use the same jury pool for two years, while a local court could be as little as two weeks. Attorneys/secretaries/paralegals already do this by hand. More than scraping I'm hopin

Even so, I do have some benefit to having defense attorneys use it. I'll get more data on jurors. Having people pay what they will or can isn't a new idea. If the defense can't pay an individual license may be cheap, while a

I replied to PJ via email earlier because I was timed out on responses, but for anyone wondering about this: My MVP and what would likely become a free version is an app that allows for the sharing of information about jurors and taking not

That is a possible outcome. Like I said though, with courtrooms being adversarial one side is incentivized to use any useful tool against the other. If the defense can't afford it and therefore doesn't use it, it becomes less lik

1. I agree. I think this app could be useful to the consultants too by making their jobs easier. I think I would still see a sale, just from a consultant not the attorney. I think two separate markets would be those who can't afford

You're right, I left off a zero, 8 million people report for jury duty a year. Each potential juror is often researched by more than 4 attorneys. At $25 per juror researched you end up around a billion dollars. $25 per juror is what

It becomes public record and is free for use. The attorneys I've been working with locally have been able to hand me juror sheets. It's honestly kind of scary that I can be handed that much personal info on someone and their crimi

I don't think it would be too difficult. Any question asked or note taken can be analyzed. From whose perspective? Attorneys views on selection is simple; "if they aren't favorable to me get the juror out". They really

Some added notes. Attorneys already look up juror's facebooks/twitters/etc if they can. I would just be helping them use that data. I would try to automate as much as possible, but even if I can't there is still plent

This. Kind of what I said in the main post. It seems crappy that you're giving someone an advantage, but it would be available to both sides. The justice system is structured this way because they believe attorneys will act in their

They actually get a decent amount of information, the shortest time frame would be a few days, usually a week or more. A sample of information, just what I remember, I'm not looking at the list. Name age education limited previous lega

No, nothing near it. There are tons of small details about jury selection that is common knowledge to attorneys that are based off very general, singular, facts. For example, a prosecutor will almost always strike a social worker if they
