    Here's an example. Multiple different products with the reviews all jumbled together and multiple sellers to boot.

    Extinct? Please, pull the other one. Your talking about a gradual decline that will take 100's of years. You don't think people will adjust?

    Live your life as an example to others and teach your own or other children.

    TFA says it's favoring applicants with degrees from U.S. Universities, so you concerns are unfounded.

    Yeah, I aim for self documenting solutions as much as possible, copious comments in code and scripts, descriptive names, readme files where necessary.

    I've never seen a wiki that wasn't mostly just one guy's notes. Usually mine at work...

    Haven't seen any temper tantrums for gun control, just sad resigned protests. Also abortion rights and ACA are all temper tantrums on the far right. Conservatives don't take losing well.

    Fun Fact: Congress could have never voted to end slavery if the south hadn't had a temper tantrum and seceded.

    Anyone who's dealt with a toddlers temper tantrum knows giving in the first time is a mistake.

    Time4vps has hands down the best price for storage that I've been able to find. Yeah, it's openvz (the also offer kvm, but not in storage nodes), but it performs well as far as I can tell.

    I'm on an older plan where I get 1TB disk and 10TB of bandwidth for that cast, maybe a little less cpu...

    If you get on their mailing list, they offer discount coupons with recurring discounts a couple times a year. I have a 30% off code that might still be good if you drop me an email.

  15. Re:Summit Learning Sounds Good on 'Beware Silicon Valley's Gifts To Our Schools' (nationalreview.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't learn by doing it once either. There's a big difference between a skilled craftsman, a acceptable craftsman, and an apprentice. Nobody thinks someone who took a class once is going to do a great job, but they can leverage the ability to learn.

  16. Markets are not synonymous with capitalism. They are similar, but capitalism overvalues the capital inputs.

    The US has actually built a system for training people in everyday skills like these. You might have heard of it, it's called youtube.

    Hmm... I wonder if allowing people to see doctors more frequently instead of worrying about bills would allow people to learn more about staying healthy...?

    So, what your saying is unreasonable refusal to change leads to demands for wholesale change instead of incremental improvements? Color me shocked.

    Where is the market efficiency in creating small insurance pools? I can see it's necessity when businesses pay and/or your allowed to exclude the sick. Otherwise it makes no sense to have anything other then a nationwide or statewide pool.
