Gosh. OP made me sad with his thesis. "1. For owners, work is optional." ... As an owner I wish this were true. For me and most owners I know work is mandatory, and its 60 hour weeks and a lot of sleepless nights. There is no safe

Zapier is terrific. We use it to power internal dashboards, for automated distribution of company data and several other tasks. Great product.

1) Why should I spend the money. 2) The government doesn't have enough money to resource it. 3) Lower profits (money) = less innovation. Its ALL about money, and not inappropriately so.

Nope. Social welfare is crushing the balance sheets of most of the countries you have in-mind. There is no way to escape demographic reality. http://www.debtclocks.eu/public-debt-and-budget-deficits-com...

Article is a hyperbole filled rant light on facts and heavy on rhetoric. Doesn't belong on HN. That said, healthcare is a demographic and economic issue - period. If there's enough money to cover all American's healthcare

The proposed framework is self-serving, flawed and behind the state of art. I say this as someone who really loves Google's products and uses them heavily. To summarize US citizens, as a right, have and must continue to have their due

> A hacker is more like a farmer who doesn't have an unending budget to buy the exact right tool for every little job they need done. Yes. The definition should be someone who excels at doing more with less. "Hacking" with

Curiously timed after the US downs a Syrian fighter and Russia declares all Syrian airspace a no-fly zone.

I'm not seeing any experiment. China was to take HK regardless and do as it pleased. The Falklands option was no option. A Tibet-style occupation would have been disastrous. Its orderly handover was in everyone's best interests if

How do you specify the pass file directory?

Lambdas. Monads. Inner & outer joins. Tensorflow.

This is almost ground-breaking. Can you imagine the power of this thing coupled with AI widgets? With Zapier-esque connections to APIs. Great UI and concept. Can't wait to use this if I can find time.

Makes sense. Do we know if KBFS is deemed cryptographically secure? I haven't kept up on it.

Gosh. I would buy this in a second if the price was a bit less and I was sure the durability/lifespan was good. The reduced eye strain benefits. I really want this.

The Human Factor, by Ishmael Jones. Required reading on this topic. Tl;dr - Salesmanship, cold calling, closing and relationships are worth a LOT more than acronyms, budgets and bugs.

Agreed. Stop, assess and arrest is now audit-able thanks to body cameras and we're already seeing the results in greater accountability. However, with greater visual accountability has come de-policing, a serious problem in some cities

Yes, the very same point I raise in another comment on this thread. And the difference is this: Manufacturing output is an almost meaningless metric unless its tied to jobs, balance of trade or some other "facts on the ground" sta

The concern for Britain and other countries ought to be the loss of sovereignty that accompanies a decline in manufacturing of the magnitude the article describes. When a country's infrastructure and supply chain is dominated by import

Except OPs article laments the loss of jobs, not output. And, its not clear from your reference if the increase in output should be attributed to larger dollar goods (eg. Rolls Royce engines), or more smaller dollar goods. Likely the former

CPAP humidifiers... the heating plate is aluminum, right? Think of all the CPAP users absorbing Al through respiration.

IMHO: You want to pivot this product, now, to compete with ourfamilywizard.com. OFW is a great concept but the site runs slow, its search and reporting is erratic and basic, and the UI can be difficult. It is, however, the only game in town

It was used to great effect after the American Revolutionary war. Competing presses would print all manner of slander against monarchist and anti-monarchist factions, seeking to impact public opinion.

They are paying to do it: Shareblue and Media Matters as two examples. And, with CNN, Politico and MSNBC all-in on exposing Trump's failings, the unearned media storm is intense.
