In the MSFT/AMZN transaction, doesn't the value pass through USD on the way? If I use ShapeShift to convert BTC to LTC, USD isn't involved. Not saying it affects the situation, but it is still a different type of transaction

Is there a known best translation? TFA didn't specify one.

Corporations are made up of people. How many people are assisting in exactly this sort of thing? Military servicemembers, bureaucrats, judicial workers, etc? As long as humans are violating ethics, the organizations they create will as well

Worry and anxiety and depression have been shown to have negative physical results, no? So if you are prone to those psychological reactions, being informed of risks you weren't aware of could literally make you less healthy, even if t

Away messages... haven't thought about those in years. Back when you might occasionally find yourself away from any internet connected devices. Truly the 00s were a strange time.

I have my hue lights synced so when my echo timer goes off, my living room lights flash. No more missing a timer because I was distracted in another room and didn't hear it.

Is there a github or similar I can watch?

Pretty sure I've seen this as a service online -- just put in the text, and the site generates the screenshot for you.

Advertising or data-mining supported services are not free. We are still paying in time or headspace or personal data, so it is perfectly valid to have a problem with the quality of service we receive in exchange for that payment.

Perfect, thanks! Not Cherry stems. Too bad.

Do you know if it has Cherry stems?

Plus, "Ok, Google" is just a terrible sequence of consonants/syllables. Just doesn't work in my mouth.

I got an email about how to do the dash button thing, so I figured I'd post my response here as well. I use this project: https://github.com/hortinstein/node-dash-button Here's how it works: 1. Figure out the

Right; Wikipedia policy is just that you can't update the entry for yourself or your own organizations, right?

I'll have to dig into that. Is it one of the Labs plugins? I certainly don't mind cutting out extra services where I can.

I looked into it before I started coding, but it seemed the 3.5 support was pretty slim, at least for the character sheets.

I have a few dozen images in my folder... never thought of using it as a data feed like this. Awesome.

This is really interesting. What are some of the things you have used this for? One of the examples is a quotation, which makes lots of sense. What else could it be useful for? Formulas, maybe?

My standard .bashrc aliases cd.. and cd- to the same thing with a space. Eliminating minor annoyances and focus-disruptors is great.

Interesting. Looks like DDG has a bang for it, too: https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=startpage

I think DDG must be improving. I used to multiple times a day finish a DDG search by adding "!g" to my terms to see if Google was better. Now it's maybe once a week, maybe even less.

Yeah, good point. I didn't think to factor in interest. Noted in the OP now.

Tuition + books/fees. No student loan interest, housing, meals, etc, accounted for. And that's probably a good way to think about it. I also came out with fewer math courses -- the specific CIS track I took had a lot of electives,

Would have been $28k for me, working mostly in the Midwest. For someone who graduated this without an internship, then worked 3 years full time at minimum wage (I used $7/hr for this), it would be around $7k. Still seems high, but vari
