I truly don't understand the content of that video, perhaps I'm ignorant of the way the US system works. I see the donation/lobbying system as something wealthy individuals/groups can use to amplify their voices in polit

There is an extremely similar drink in the UK (and probably elsewhere) called Ovaltine which is marketed as an energy drink. I always thought it was odd that two such similar drinks were marketed in such contrary ways. Horlicks to make your

I really can't understand that first quote. Even if you believe you're doing something "highbrow and personally enriching", that doesn't make you a snob.

I mean we as a society. > Shouldn't taxi drivers be free to define how much they want to sell their time? The problem with this is that, in my (perhaps naive) mind, the logical conclusion is a race to the bottom fuelled by greed (of

>Enforcing a higher minimum wage just put people out of jobs... Maybe increasing the amount taxi drivers are paid would drive up the cost of taxis and thus drive down demand for taxis. This seems reasonable to me. We're defining a m

I accept your comment about 'supporting the poor' was probably flippant but still, I find the idea that the best way to support the poor is to make taxis cheaper, rather than increasing the/enforcing a minimum wage absolutely

I am leaving my current team, in part for this very reason. Senior technical people in the organisation don't value readable, understandable code, favouring 150 character one-liners instead. It's proven to be a very effective way

aha! I was missing the requirement for a project/viewport combination for two way sync. Many thanks for the above information and the initial recommendation. This setup seems to be exactly what I've been looking for for quite some

Your comment inspired me to try all 3 tools in combination, and at first glance it seems like a very nice solution; certainly more effective than my current manual method. A quick question for you though, if you don't mind: do you use

This is something I'm considering. I'm interested to hear more about your switch. Did you have any major problems? Is there anything you're particularly missing about your MB? I wonder whether there are a whole load of solid

Could you please direct me to the latter deal? I didn't find anything like that when I came to renew my plan.

The author after that quote: "He wanted to give my my cards back but I tried for years to get rid of them so I say he can sell them and give me the BTC. Which he did and our deal was finally forfilled."

I too could find absolutely no trace of anything even approaching offensive in the comments I understand were the cause for outrage (based on this article [1] posted to HN yesterday 5/9). [1][ https://atom-morgan.github.io&#x

I pretty much came to the comments to post something similar. I'm sure there was a long comment thread here on HN discussing the perils of NIH this week. This seems like the end point of the alternative.
