Donor engagement is a primary driver of donor loyalty and retention. This is pretty fundamental stuff in the nonprofit world. If you can build a deep personal and emotional connection, such as "helping build a house with their own hand

Which is a problem when out of network providers sneak in, such as commonly happens with surgical assistants. Have a covered and pre approved procedure from an in network surgeon at an in network hospital, and then oops because the surgeon

Most companies are going to use any change in leave policies to decrease total leave, if they're allowed to do so. This happened when pooled PTO became common as well - moving from, say, 10 days vacation and 10 days sick leave to 15 da

I'm fortunate to work in an "enterprise" environment where managers have discretionary spending ability. A $50/month app doesn't require the huge purchasing process, just throw it on a company card and tell accounti

Virginia here, but this should apply anywhere paper ballots are used. The voter is free to mark the ballot they hand back to be spoiled and replaced any way they want, including in a manner that obscures who they voted for. The ideal markin

This is actually how it works. The (small) silver lining is that your friend doesn't have to be anyone particularly important, they just have to be a voter who lives in their district. I've had to go through Constituent Services a

This is one of the best things about those new production Model F boards - they are the "Kishsaver" style which with some key cap changes can be made very similar to a modern 80% layout.

That's a pretty soft wontfix though. Might be reopenable at this point.

The recommended solution is, ironically for this topic, to have your billing alerts trigger Lambda functions you've written to shut down your infrastructure.

We had that utterly compelling framework in the early 2000s. Write generic code, upload to any provider you want, watch it run - that's exactly how shared-hosting PHP worked in ye olden days and to this day no one has made a developer

Ironically, the biggest argument in favor of IPv6 adoption is the massive debacle IPv6 has been. It's virtually guaranteed that we won't ever get a successor to IPv6, and since IPv4 exhaustion has pushed enough adoption of IPv6 th

In general (there are small differences in procedure, but the basic method is the same) American absentee ballots are put in an envelope by the voter. The ballot itself does not have ANY traceable markings on it. It is a true secret ballot,

At many American gas stations, (I don't know how applicable this is in other countries) there is a lower "cash" price because the station doesn't have to pay credit card fees on the transaction. It's less convenient

It's a very minority view on HN, but important to keep in mind that there are quite a few people who consider what Snowden did "a case of misguided political activism".

Exactly. I do hasten to add that the toilet BOWL still gets cleaned - but I've never needed to clean out the tank.

I'm surprised these aren't standard. Most American gravity-tank-flush toilets use the same flush valve, and most of the remainder are the tray-tip kind that doesn't really have a flush valve in the traditional sense. There ar

MacOS 7.1 was the pinnacle, imo. MacOS 9 had lots of the space-wasting pretty chrome we're decrying here in WinXP.

There are other specific sectors with great product search - RockAuto for car parts, for example. It's a striking example because the big auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto, Pep Boys, etc) all try to have an "Amazon style&q

Yeah. For repurposing, one-trip containers are almost always your best bet. It's much easier to know what was in them, and they're in great condition - I see people trying to do conversions on a wind&watertight grade container
