AFL streaming right now is broken due to the rights deal. Telstra paid such a small amount compared to 7 and Foxtel for the online rights that they had to accept a lot of restrictions, such as only steaming on mobile devices and no tablet f

Unfortunately as an ecommerce site you probably lose some portion of sales by not offering it.

It would probably only take a few months to work out if the tool was going to drive a return for you, that is $45. I doubt the kind of customer they would want would be one that wasn't prepared to put down $45. I realize it is a differ

A more accurate statement might be that non top tier universities are terrible? After doing a little hiring of Indians and working with them I get the impression that the top tier universities are pretty good, but the second tier and below

I am by no means an expert on the subject but use Ratchet ( http://socketo.me/ ) with proxying through nginx for my limited websocket needs. Works well.

I think Stripe would be offering much better deals for high volume. With Stripe you are also paying for what they have built on top of just accepting the payment. If you are high volume and willing to use a no frills provider it doesn'

They get paid a full time wage, likely no overtime. The parent comment is saying that at least contractors should get paid for every hour worked.

Current government is held hostage by its far right faction who wants to avoid an open vote on gay marriage. The left would now allow an open vote for it but when they were last in government the tide of public opinion probably hadn't

The stated SpaceX goal is for 24 hour turnaround times. Right now their turnaround times are around 2 weeks, assuming that they can get a slot for the range. This will improve once the pad that was destroyed is rebuilt mid/late this ye

This is actually not true if you hope to sell long term as an Amazon marketplace seller.

I bet the guy would be happy to continue using the product, they just want it to work. You work out what their problem was and fix it, if they explain the issue. Regardless the attitude should be "how do we make sure the next buyer doe

It depends if they are there to pilot or they are there to go outside and build things. Most construction in space at this point is one off, robots probably aren't quite at the point where they can have robots perform any generalized c

I suspect it is hard to sell the electorate as a whole on the nuance required to tell them these jobs aren't coming back but you are the best choice for election. Pretty much every election campaign seems to be run on "the county

It is strange that the Netflix deal has them waiting until all of season 2 has been aired. So lots of people internationally who would watch it on Netflix will be pirating it.

Surely the answer would be to improve the transfer of care process. Transfer is probably even worse after someone has worked 24 hours.

It has also become harder from for legitimate sellers because Amazon are trying to respond to counterfeits. I suspect almost every seller of volume would get counterfeit claims made against them, having a buyer use the word fake in their co

It works if you have an audience. I suspect very few of those who are just sticking the stuff up on Amazon are successful unless they happen to find a niche without a lot of other people doing the same thing.

Yeah fair enough, I think even if I didn't value their discovery the way I listen to music now it would cost too much to buy it all individually. I would probably just end up having to use youtube to sample things, the way I do with Sp

Many instances of us building scrapers are cases where a partner has data or has tools which are only built into the UI or the UI ones are much more capable. Rather than waiting potentially years for their IT team to make the required chang

Even if what you say is true and SpaceX never delivers on a Mars colony, the incremental steps they are taking towards it are going to be beneficial for future private companies and governments to build on.

They still have better presentation of lyrics then the top rank lyrics sites, even if the other genres lack the same level of annotation.

Depends what you are building. I have certainly had more frustration using single page or collections of single page apps. It is very rare that they get the back/forward button handling and refresh handling exactly right.

Goodreads reviews are still pretty inflated. Anything around or under 3.5 or so probably has some big flaws.

Australia ran one of these campaigns recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXxgclr7J9g The content of the ad includes someone looking at someones trash, seeing some common chemicals and assuming they are making a bomb.

Justifiable from their perspective. Most border disputes would fall under this, at various points in time both sides have controlled an area and believe that it is rightfully theirs.

India seems like another China for Uber. Locked into a battle against a local company and I would expect losing money. Sure the cars use CNG and the drivers probably don't make much but the fares are tiny compared the western locations

They also track disengages as a metric for progress right? So it could be that these drivers will if at all possible avoid taking over.
