I thought FREESwitch was the new hotness in PBX software? https://freeswitch.com/

Depends on your goals really. If you want to become proficient in personal asset management, read Bogleheads. Personally, my goal is to earn a CPA and CFA. Yes it’s credentialism, but it can’t hurt to have other than the time it takes to ge

1. Join a bunch of clubs that interest you. Go consistently. Join clubs that you might enjoy but improve your social skills (acting, improv, debate, etc). Don't just hang out with the same people all the time. 2. Treat being social as

+1 QubesOS is awesome. Strongly Recommended. Looking forward to what SpectrumOS can bring.

> There's two types of systems you can choose to live under Evidence? I would argue it's more likely that everyone benefits if pay transparency exists, especially the workers that provide the most benefit.

What? How would executive pay transparency help workers? If worker pay is transparent for all positions, that would help negotiations. Merely making executive pay transparent does nothing to help anyone other than the executives.

Strongest idea I'm aware of is radical pay transparency. If everyone's full pay and benefits were public knowledge, negotiation would be essentially algorithmic. The information asymmetry currently benefits capital greatly, but if

I guess you could also ask "What is language worth?" or "What is democracy worth?", "What is habeas corpus worth?". Some things really don't have an economic value attributed to them, because they are part

I’m pretty sure no one thinks digital IOUs are worth more than the word that’s behind them. It’s not reasonable to conflate decentralized cryptocurrency with digital coupon IOUs.

As other commenters have said, this article largely appears naive on how contracts work. Looking past that, the main thrust of the argument is that if "the market" wants things like chargebacks and censorship, then there will exis

You raise some really good points. Perhaps Sony is also afraid that if the other makers don't follow suit, that they'll lose market share to the others due to unsynched releases. Car makers are expected to release new models yearl

Yeah I saw this. Weird. A woman being a Private pilot is more unattractive than smoking? Uh ok.

This is a tricky issue to struggle with, and I've done a fair amount of thinking on this. I think that it's worthwhile to become knowledgeable and capable in everything that you hire someone for. There are exceptions which are imp

I literally did this too. Moved to Austin, TX and bought a farm after I quit my last full-time job. Went back to school to get an associates in construction management instead of actually learning the job (sounds like I should've gone

They are the perfect application, the problem is that they are generally expensive to use (see ethereum fees). There are efforts to get smart contracts working in Bitcoin, but we’re waiting for full implementation of taproot for most of tha

I’ll go one step further, with most lower level courses, there should be large open knowledge banks of questions which can be solved within a reasonable time (<15 min) and all homework/tests for testing knowledge should be automatic

Awesome. What’s the difference between an OBD interface and what the dealers can look at? Last I examined this, you needed to buy expensive devices to interpret all data. Any efforts to do this on a manufacturer by manufacturer basis?

I think it would not be feasible to add these to most buildings. Wind power is very heavy and there are a lot of obvious wind forces acting on the structures. Buildings were not engineered to take those loads.

I hear you, but do you want the job? I always hear that “society should select this and that” for police and military jobs, but the people saying these things that society should do would almost never volunteer. So it feels like a hollow so

Don’t see how this would help, only thing that would help is a tunnel out, like WireGuard to a VPN or less reputable provider.

I too have wondered about this. Not sure why we didn’t do something like this from the beginning. Is this even feasible?

It really is mind blowing to me. Especially in a pandemic, why why why require a signature for anything? This is one of the few things that would reduce exposure that we already have a technical solution for. I just don’t understand.

I honestly believe this is hard to answer. Is it worth it to churn credit cards, cut coupons, and constantly optimize for price? Probably not. That said, the average person in society is woefully under skilled in my opinion for everyday tas

Seems like a bit much to me. It’s pretty clear that the issue is no one maintains the router firmware section.
