Local news was always low quality. Now you have options for how to spend your time and money. It is no surprise you don't give them your time or your money. They have problem and solution reversed.

Wouldn't you want to say "My Zillow prediction is $1.2 million, you get 20% of any more than that if you sell by June but only this low rate otherwise"? Anyone with true ability would take the deal. Aligning the incentives et

These are so very entertaining. Haha, some of them are actually clever enough that they'd be good one-line jokes if you edit out all the stuff-to-make-it-succeed-in-this-award: > Dropping his now-empty Remington .30-06 and tearing a

Many of the things are easier to check than to do. And where it isn't, you can have multiple people do the same thing. And last of all: if you build a working relationship with the guys who do good work you can use them for more work.

Sure. Let’s say you have some mundane task: you’ve got some number of people with varying dietary restrictions and they want to go to dinner together. You don’t know which places can accommodate you. Don’t do it yourself. Just ship the info

Use Upwork or a similar service to outsource some of your drudge work. Suddenly you'll find that you can accelerate yourself so much more.

That's because: * They don't have suppression set up * They're using a conversion tracking platform that is slow * They're testing the returns conversion hypothesis: you have expressed concrete intent, you have bought th

I understand. I use AWS at work now. It's mostly curiosity about your experience than anything else.

Hmm, for the retail options? Or the premium options? We were a nine-fig customer and it was quite nice.

Used to host my own everything. One day went on holiday, thing went down due to complex sequence of events, got no email. Disaster. From then on, MX'd my shit to aspmx.l.google.com. and called it a day. Any hosted solution is probably

Well, it's sort of like the Bechdel Test. A single movie can fail it and it means little for its quality (12 Angry Men, for instance) but if the overwhelming number of movies fail it then we know something's up.

Why sign the reboot code if you're always sending the same code? Like, the signing is useless. The signed code is now the new reboot code and it's effectively unsigned.

Incredible. Intel offers a voluntary program that you want to turn into a mandatory program for employees' families.

Right. So I assume we shouldn't judge someone on the basis of a photograph they've taken with someone else. Guilt by association and all that. Seems fair.

That is what I meant, sorry.

No, I like it this way. I feel like I'm not a client of the community but a participant. It's my favourite part about open-source.

Ha, I wonder if everyone was talking about how Terence Tao would be irredeemably damaged psychologically for finishing college at 16. Well, it certainly looks like he's doing well. I wish this kid the best.

Damning of the quality of their survey perhaps? I could point them to loads of such people.

Surely not. Being 15% underwater on bills is not easy to recover from. That $45 billion is already used up. You can't just get 7 billion of it every year back. That's humongous! And because the underfundedness compounds (if you ha

So I get it. The comment is being sarcastic. But the value is pretty low, right? It's just "I agree with you and here's a poor rendition of arguments opposing so that we can make fun of them". I get it's useful beca

Oh, and we didn't pay them off via some national insurance program? I'm surprised and somewhat impressed. I'd expect those parties to have required the government to pay out.

Maybe there's money in specialist toys like that. How much would Sir Rod Stewart pay if you built him that? Or maybe there isn't. After all, if it isn't exactly like what he'd like maybe he wouldn't pay.

You don’t have to worry. The government will bail you out like they do the people who build in forest fire land and in flood plains. EDIT: I don't think I'm wrong actually. Take Pacifica, CA for instance. Local homeowners oppose m
