Just make sure you play your taxes if you win. The Money Train always stops at the IRS even if you're Passenger 57. Even the sharpest Blade won't get you out of that kind of Major League troubles.
That sounds about right. Everyone is in it to make money and the sports book can’t make money on smart sophisticated bettors. They need the gambling addicts that bet on the Cleveland Browns to win the Super Bowl. Or people that parlay 5 games on Sunday.
“suggests a peer-to-peer betting exchange which simply pairs people betting on opposing outcomes -- thus taking a commission, but not facing any risk.“
So the options market. I think there are already companies doing that for sports betting. I remember meeting someone years ago that was moving his operations around every year from Central and South America to Asia and back again.
Unfortunately there are no other choices besides Microsoft and Amazon's cloud DynoDB.
There's your first mistake.
No geeks Mysql is not the same thing nor close...
The thought of using MySQL for anything even remotely important should be enough to get someone fired and/or prosecuted.
...so don't bother bringing that up as these large customers use financial and AI reporting tools and APIs and not just simple SQL statements.
What do you think these reporting tools are sending to the database, if not SQL?
You’re bringing back nightmares. I remember dealing with MySQL back 1999 when the company I worked for tried to migrate to MySQL to save money. The horrors. Plus, MySQL is own by Oracle now. So it’s like going from the Oracle’s left pocket to Oracle’s smelly feet.
I’m glad they didn’t skip the number 9 like Windows and Blackberry OS. Let’s see if Google is brave enough to go to 11. MacOS has been on 10 for almost 2 decades. Windows 10 is the “last Windows”. Blackberry OS will never have a version 11.
I'm still using my wife's old rose gold (pink) iPhone 6S. It works well, does everything I need it to do. I drop it all the time because that thing is so damn slippery. I don't see a need to upgrade because unlike most people it's not my only computing device.
I would have been happy if my Nexus 7 (2012) had gotten a fix for the shutdown issue. And that's a "Google" device too. Those Android OEMs only make money when they sell the device, so they only care about selling you a new device.
"It's cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who's inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries," former McDonald's chief executive Edward Rensi said in an appearance on Fox Business Network in May 2016."

Amazon has some serious cross-linking and fake review issues. I was searching for some batteries recently at least half of the bad reviews were for another battery from a different manufacturer but it's marked "verified purchase".
If you need so much computing power that it's melting the laptop case, you probably need to get a desktop. If you're using a laptop there's always going to be an area of compromise: portability (weight, size), battery life, performance, cost, and upgradability. It's like complaining that the ROG or Predator laptops are heavy and gets less than 7 hour battery life. There's not going to be a laptop that's perfect in every way. Recently a friend asked for a recommendation of thin, powerful laptop with 10+ hour....for under $600. SMH.
I'm not familiar with UK government efficiency. How likely is it for this goal to be achieved in the given timeframe? 1) 100% achievable 2) overall achievable but some area will not be connected in that timeframe 3) it's going to be late by 1-5 years 4) it's going to be late but it will eventually get there 5) next Ice Age 6) Jesus coming back
If anything in High Sierra, Apple made Time Machine more local. If you have Time Machine on but the external drive is not connected TM will use local storage for additional "daily" backup of deleted data. So even if you remove the data from the Trash, it's still in the local TM for about a day.
Recently a coffee shop I frequent switched to cashless only and added ordering kiosks. But no NFC payment which is weird. Annoying because it’s less than $5 usually and they have a screen for auto tipping on the POS. Previously, the line was out the door since it’s a small shop. Since switching to cashless only plus ordering kiosks the lines are significantly shorter. Not sure if it’s less customers or they’re available to process quicker.
People keep signing up Facebook with my email. They're able to create and use Facebook without verifying the email address. I've clicked on that "I didn't sign up for Facebook" link plenty of time.
Show me other part-time jobs that pay $50 an hour.
Strippers, I mean exotic dancers. And dental hygienist apparently, my cousin’s wife gets paid that much as a dental hygienist but she has to string together work at three dental offices to make it a full time job.
The 30 years to decommission a nuclear plant. And it’s definitely going to cost way more $1 billion. Current estimate is somewhere between $4.2 billion to $10 billion. Yeah, in CA land is expensive so the space for 4,000 wind turbine is huge. But in TX,it’s much cheaper to use wind over nuclear.
I use to live near “The Boobs” (San Onofre) and that plant’s decommissioning is going to take 30 years and billions of dollars. $250k is like a low end Lamborghini. It would take decommissioning 4,000 wind turbines to equal $1 billion.
When we’re all starving that’s the only solution. But avoid Peter Thiel, you don’t know what he’s got. A person like him doesn’t fund herpes research for the greater good of humanity. He’s doing it for self-preservation.
The world's first legit mind-reader... How awesome that you have this gift.
Need a job? I'd love to know what the competition is doing and why they are doing it..
You should come see my show in Vegas. I perform under Cris Johnson. But I already know you won’t.

When the early membrane keyboards came out, I got one because my Model M was driving everyone in my house crazy at night. No other keyboard have felt the same but no other keyboard can drive people to want to bash my head in.

I've yet to meet one person who has said, "what this phone needs is a notch".
Yet... now that Google's banned them, I really want a three-notch phone.
Screw it. We’re going straight to 5 notches.

So you pay with credit card? I remember when a rule of thumb was never use a credit card for anything less then $10.
Yeah, only credit card or debit with Visa/MasterCard logo work with their POS.

I agree. But Facebook still owns Instagram and all the kids use IG. Most of them don't even realize IG = Facebook.

Windows 10 as a whole isn't ready for prime time. It's a huge leap backwards in usability with more eye candy than a strip club.
I think maybe we go to different strip clubs.
