From personal experience, it’s rare that someone in this position resents how they came to be but rather how parental figures in their lives handle this information, purposefully withholding it from the party that had no say in the matter y

In any place where fertility treatments include using donor sperm or eggs, this is a non-issue. Legally, your parents are the people written on your birth certificate.

Through at-home DNA testing, I found out at the age of 29 that I was donor conceived. It was shocking to see my DNA relatives list be populated with 12 people to whom I shared about 25% of my DNA with that I had no idea existed just minutes

With regard to sleep tracking apps, I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia, a rare sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime sleepiness, sleeping for long hours, sleep “drunkenness”, central sleep apnea, and resulting short term memory problems.

I find this unlikely. It would be a massive waste of capital to have acquired a developer-focused company such as as Linode only to make it, “contact us for pricing.” I think it’s more likely that they will sell the CDN product as another s

There is a lot of victim blaming here. If Google wishes to continue to provide an email service, it should be a reasonable expectation that you don’t get your account disabled due to some automated false positive or at least have a real app

This is my reaction every time I see a service like this. In addition to training users that is somehow okay to just give up your credentials to a 3rd party, you are now indefinitely allowing the storage of passwords in a fully reversible f

I’m actually surprised that there is not a popular news-oriented CMS (that I’m aware of). WP has survived so long despite the abysmal architecture and myriad of security issues because it’s just so damn flexible. It really has somehow both

> Wow, how can this amount of files be justified? File count is not a good metric of complexity nor is an indicator of the quality of an application. There is a good chance a lot of that are packages that have been packaged up into the e

The issue with the OP’s case is that this guy was flying domestically and traveling with any amount of cash is not a crime nor is required to be reported. Because this procedure of declaring cash is with Customs and Boarding Protection, it

There should be, but this is an example of poorly-targeted regulation where (by design) it makes it easier for large incumbents to hire a team of consultants to manage red tape and smaller, leaner, and perhaps smarter players from appearing

I am not going to try to change your mind, in fact, I largely agree with what you're saying. It's a very complicated and contentious issue in the US. First, we have a strange relationship with taxes. The highest amounts are paid t

I used to volunteer my time to a very major forum software. Tapatalk at the time had a very strange business model of having a plug-in/add-on that was free to the forum owner but charged for the app that the end user used. This was, e

But the effects of high housing costs ultimately does impact those people. Everyone, from the well-off to the impoverished, will seek housing. Those with more money have more options and when the market gets tight, what otherwise would be m

I think what turns people off of this is that the phrase “Citation needed” carries an additional connotation of passive-aggression and is not a great way to ask for a source. It’s most notably used (outside of Media Wiki) as a rude way to s

Not everyone has specific dreams, rather their dream may be being in an essential role, part of a good team, etc. Anecdotally, I've met a number of people working in solid waste and every single one of them loved their job with one cit

I don’t think it’s as different as it appears at first glance. Capped coverage does not mean that’s the max a hurt party is able to get, just the max a particular policy will cover per incident. The hurt party’s insurance generally advances

This is how it works in the states or at least in California which I am most familiar with. It’s divided into two parts: liability (damage payout to other party if you are at fault) and comprehensive (damage to your vehicle where someone el

They mostly deal with numbers on the macro scale. If 10,000 miles per year is a good representation of how much the general populous drives, it’s good enough for them. This is why we’re seeing more niche insurance companies pop up (MetroMil

A programming language is just an abstraction (built on other abstraction, typically) of turning transistors on and off. JavaScript is most often run in a runtime like v8, but you could build alternate runtimes or event a compiler to target

Not a Facebook employee but I did interview there. There are a few reasons why I would, personally, not want to leave had I accepted that offer. First are the people you get to work with. As I’ve progressed through my career, coworker toler
