   I honestly think Davis' campaign set the Democrats in Texas back by ten years.

   Because then it's not an index fund, it's an actively managed fund. The appeal of an index fund is that it mechanically tracks an index so costs are very very low and investors can track the market as closely as possible.

   Considering how hilariously, astoundingly bad the last Democrat did in a Texas gubernatorial election (and the fact that fiber != swings in political sentiment), I'm going to chalk this up to a pipe dream.

   Some parts of San Antonio have had a choice of cable providers for some time now, TWC and the local competitor Grande. If you lived in those areas, service was actually pretty good. I I think I paid $35/month for 50mbps service from

   The Texas Railroad Commission has a fascinating history. While it was started as a railroad regulator, for much of the 20th century the TRC set world oil prices and served as the model for OPEC.

    That requires people to understand context and nuance. We live in a world where a guy wants to ban Mel Brooks' The Producers because he doesn't realize it's a satire of Hitler, not an homage. Lots of people don't or w

    If your response to someone using the word "retard" is physical assault, I'd say the problem isn't with the other person.

    Github is an American company and the use of the word "git" in American English is not at all common. They may not know. That said, I find this whole thing to be silly. What can you possibly get out of choosing to be the word

    scalac is definitely slower than javac, but I do wonder if half the complaints about speed are from people who don't realize you can leave SBT running but rather do an "sbt compile" every time and end up waiting for JVM initi

    Exhausting is being in this situation: object Foo { var x: Int = 0 def bar(y: Int) = x + y } And trying to figure out what bar will return at any given point.

    I think "significant" is probably overstating things. In the bottom quintile in San Jose has a 12.9% chance of making it to the top, Houston is 9.3% (nearly the same as Sacramento). I grew up in California but moved to Houston ha

    Fortunately (for me) the US has no such rules, other than the age restriction. I joined this game four years ago when I was 21. Now that my credit file is built up, I can open five cards within a week or so and almost always get approved.

    I want to travel to Thailand and India and Japan. If churning didn't exist id be buying tickets in coach. So I am going to travel anyways, there just happens to be a way that's both cheaper and more comfortable.
