It is also about time we force this for vitamins too. The disclaimer of "not been validated by the FDA to cure or treat a disease..." is a bunch of crap. It goes beyond false advertising, it is straight up untrue claims. They shou

Add to that students have "suites" with private bedrooms and shared living space. Add to that meal plans with all you can eat Nutella and endless options. That money has to come from somewhere. It used to be old buildings with one

I agree with this. Obamacare should have created rules for a national minimum policy, largely targeted at catastrophic incidents. Remove the ability of employers to buy coverage for their employees (a holdover from WWII staffing shortages)

This is all so interesting and it really is solved with better tolerance. But how do you learn tolerance of something you've never seen or experienced? The people who live in big cities don't visit the country either. They have ne

Part of the problem is how physically big the US is compared to most countries. Popular vote only would mean that cities (even a small set of them) would hold such a large percentage of the vote that the farmers and workers who drive the en

Even Clinton/Warren or Clinton/Sanders would probably have won.

Even after the fix was in against Sanders, adding him as VP makes this election a slam dunk for the Democrats.

Array is a more complex issue. The biggest issue is whether it can break existing parsers or not. Additionally, the extra typing for things like heterogeneous or nested arrays will require application code that understands the typing instea

I agree, why define a new format that is more verbose when you can just make it by convention at first and let parsers evolve. I probably wouldn't use : even in quotes to prevent confusion. Something like this seems safe and doesn'

I agree. Prototypes are easy, production level products/systems are hard and take time and money. There is also another angle of just hoping to sell the prototype and "team" and let someone else do the hard work of making it

I agree. While this is super impressive stuff it seems to match palette far more than style. Van gogh has a distinct style even though not all of his paintings have the same color palette.

I agree with your one comment. Only true revolt will cause a change. People don't really care in the end. As long as they have an iPhone and Netflix and a 50" Samsung, who really cares? Everyone complains a little but there is no

Right, it is like asking a builder "how long to build my new house?" Way too many variables and things that are independent variables. Prioritized (short) iterative development is the only path to success.

The weird thing is that there is an initial lift but only because you are learning something new. You have to figure it out, it takes effort and creates new pathways, etc. Once you have learned it, you tend to be on auto pilot. The thing to

It seems like you built a product that you want. You've made the assumption that people other than you don't like using freelancer.com or CL. To me it doesn't make sense to try to make a product like this without first having
