Even Hitler was smart enough to burn books, not just the card catalogue.

How does this differ from building plugins? Excel already has a programming interface and I'm pretty sure you can script Sheets with python. Is it just easier?

I just filter it into a separate folder and skip the inbox but I've definitely missed some emails because of it.

Great answer. This also wastes the least amount of your time if they are not serious. It's much better to work on your company than waste time on deals that are all smoke and mirrors.

that's a stretch. if the intent is to create a sarcastic nick-name that compares the ceo to a dictator, "chairman pao" is going to be a front-runner not because pao and mao are both chinese but because pao and mao are only 1

Uh oh. I created an "unsubscribe" filter a while ago to get rid of spam. It's been great for keeping my inbox clean but I just don't see stuff with an unsubscribe line anymore.

+1 for a common tool chain. It's really nice when you don't have to spend 1/2 the day figuring out someone's setup to help them fix a bug.

It doesn't go to a browser (unless you use something like https://keymetrics.io/2015/06/10/pm2-ssh-expose-a-fully-capa... ) but `less` is great for tailing logs, output, etc... and lets you search, filter

That's so sad. I don't know what we expect from our jails but it's pretty plain that it either hardens or breaks people.

I think you misunderstand the problem. If you can afford to buy your way out of jail, you have a much easier time awaiting your trial. This isn't about plea-bargains vs trials, it's about properly setting bail so that everyone has

I hope that's the ultimate outcome. I'd be OK if we allow copyrighting of APIs as long as using those APIs falls under fair-use.

So you admit that there was copying. /s But, in all seriousness, the 9 lines + 7 files are damning. It also shows that the engineers who implemented Google's project had been tainted by exposure to Java.

This looks very cool. Can't wait to try it out.

The problem is that our system is incredibly racist and classist. Here's an example of a teenager who spent 3 years at Ryker's Island before his trial: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/06&#x

Thanks for the explanation. This was very helpful for cutting though the noise.

Someone has always built what you're building. The only real question is do you know who they are. It's actually a great exercise to find the last founder (or two) who tried to execute your idea and figure out why they failed. Ver

This case is why I believe it's pointless to try to protect your privacy: even if you just withdraw < $10,000 to avoid notice, you've committed a crime. But, if you withdraw more than $10k all the time (then deposit it back in)

I love how he blames Obama. I had a different perspective on our last 2 presidents. I sold everything in the final 2 years of Bush's presidency then bought into the stock market shortly before Obama took office. I've never had to

There is a good reason not to have a product: if you have a product, the smart money will sit back and watch what the product does. But, if you need money to complete a product, the investor knows what the funding is for and has no option t

If you want an index, use an index: for (1 = 65; i <= 90; i++){...} It's not like the syntax is that bad. But, iterators are simpler than indexing a collection. Iterators work with data structures like linked lists where yo

As others have pointed out, the semantics are pretty hard to deal with. But, it's the style that I think is the really bad part of this snippet. Why would you create an array of empty elements to iterate over just to grab the index? In

That's like saying you won't use Rails because it's written in Ruby and not C. Also, it's nice to work in a language that has the right features and not just all the features. I like CoffeeScript as much for what it does

Piercing the corporate veil is not a trivial task. Generally speaking, this only happens when a corporation owes taxes (in the US). But, the point of setting up a corporation is to shield the owners from risk associated with the operation o

Size is definitely relative. I just visited my cousin in Georgia and my house would fit in the play room he just added. He cleans carpet for a living.

This is why it's important to dollar-cost-average (finance speak for sell over time) your way out of a large position. You'll never time the market so stop trying. Set up a recurring transaction that gets you out of the position o
