So I just need three women whom I can become a new parent by, some proper spacing, and I can get permanent, paid paternity leave from Twitter. If more and more companies go down this road, I don't see any reason why I can't be simultaneously employed by all of them.
This is an important issue to me because I have devices that need good USB-C cables. If anyone else is in the same boat, here's a direct link to Benson Leung's reviews. Focus in on the 5-star ones and look for the value buys (if the product is still available):
Just kidding, I have no problem with Javascript. By the way, that summary was confusing as hell.
One of the beauties of JS is that it's easy to provide your own functions, so as long as it's only left-pad missing, you could provide your own, right?
Every government body I've ever seen thinks having more income will solve all their problems. It doesn't and it won't ever. The average person in this country is being taxes at one of the highest rates in our history, and government revenues are at all-time highs, but we're still having problems. Why?
Because every single one of these governments naturally fills out their expenses to match or exceed their revenues. Always. Giving more money only makes the problem a larger one.
We ought to be able to afford what we need to do with less than we give them now. It shouldn't take millionaires or billionaires or you or me giving them more and more of our income. We need government that shows responsibility and restraint with what they have.
By the way, I am not making a partisan argument here. Republicans and Democrats contribute to the brokenness.
That was a lot of words formed in ignorance, so I didn't bother to read all of them.
I support Net Neutrality, and to my surprise, so does the FCC's Tom Wheeler. The FCC has said this service does not violate Net Neutrality and they're going to keep an eye on it.
Why does it not violate Net Neutrality? Because, as you pointed out, any service can sign up for Binge On. Is it too much to ask that a video service go through some kind of certification process with T-Mobile before that happens?
Just because T-Mobile doesn't do it YOUR WAY doesn't mean it's bad for Net Neutrality.
Maybe you're just too smart and T-Mobile should hire you so that you'll stop posting here.
Why would people say that? Germany has never has true freedom of speech. Everyone seems to import the US perspective of Freedom of Speech on other countries. Germany does technically have Freedom of Expression in their Basic Law, but there are so many exceptions (like hate speech, holocaust denial and more), that it might as well not be called Freedom of Expression.
Heat. Thermal transfer to steam turbines. It would be sweet if we could directly extract the energy, but there's no known way of doing that yet. The turbine method is decently efficient, though.
We haven't had a bomb go off in a plane here in the US. Perhaps they want to take our TSA force and use it abroad. I mean completely--the TSA can leave here and go work in Russia.
I mostly agree with you, but one question I've had all along is that if they really thought it was a bomb threat, why didn't they evacuate the building? Why didn't they call the bomb squad? Why did the teacher just dump it in the desk drawer while class went on?
If they really feared it was a bomb, a bomb threat, or were not sure what level of hoax it was, why didn't they treat it more seriously? Their health, life and safetly actions don't corroborate with they way they treated the kid.
Every once in a while we need to be able to mod a post +10 Interesting+Insightful+Informative. This is one of those posts. What infuriates me the most is that if anybody here did the same thing, we'd already be rotting in jail the rest of our life. The double standards and hypocrisy of our government makes me very sick.
I just watched it. The kid was waving it around and pointing it at people in the park. He aimed at the cops when they drove up. BB guns look too real, so there's no reason the cops could have known it was fake.
It does look like it was a dumb idea to drive up to point blank range if they wanted to solve it peacefully.
Apparently there is also a dash cam from the cruiser that shows them yelling at the kid to drop the gun before they got there. So it's not quite as ridiculous as the security footage makes it look.
So, is it murder? No. But it does look like the cops made some bad decisions. Unfortunately the kid made even worse decisions.
If you use the right kind of online backup place, ransomeware can't harm you. Some places build in incremental backup or offer it for an additional fee. So even if the virus locks you out, you can still respite from a known good time.
Because if that's all 80 percent of humanity becomes... then 80 percent of humanity is expendable. I'm not saying I'd kill them off... I'm saying someone will do it though. And when it happens... those that do it will lose nothing when they do it because the people they're killing are of no value at all to the society.
So pray you're not as useless as some would suggest. Because if you are... you might just be the walking dead.
It's irresponsible for a newly growing company to issue a dividend. Once a company has established it's profit margin and can't use that dividend money to invest in itself to grow to greater profits in the future, that's when it should consider using a dividend. Otherwise it's use of cash is suboptimal. Think about what apple has done in the last 1 5 years.
As a Project Fi user, posting from the service now, I can assure you that it has good customer service. You can chat, email or call, and they're responsive. I have submitted two tickets already with no problem.
It used to be Slashdot. Not sure what this site is anymore, and I'm still looking for a reasonable replacement. I guess a collection of experts would be a decent way to go.
Not only because stuff like this, https://aphyr.com/posts/322-ca... , but also because MongoDB performance actually isn't that great. I do care about my data, and PostgreSQL is actually faster in some scenarios (eg. if you actually know what you're doing), so thanks, I'll pass. And Apache HTTPD? Who's still using that on new projects?

Shoot, accidentally modded Redundant instead of Insighful, so I'm posting to undo that.
raymorris' comment is the best in the whole thread.
Just kidding, I have no problem with Javascript. By the way, that summary was confusing as hell.
One of the beauties of JS is that it's easy to provide your own functions, so as long as it's only left-pad missing, you could provide your own, right?
function left_pad(str, min_length, pad_char){
if(str.length min_length){
str = Array(min_length - str.length).join(pad_char) + str;
}
return str;
}
(note, I did not do any sanity/error checking in the function, so do not simply copy/paste, please fill it out if you intend to use it)

Ah yes, when you can't get your own way and get what you want, that totally makes it okay to break the law.
That's why a police officer who can't get his confession can keep bashing the suspect's head in.
That's why politicians can sell votes.
Following the law is for chumps who have no leadership potential.
Most people don't know that many cities throughout the United States are already wired with "dark fiber"...
except those who have been a part of Slashdot because it's been talked about before, more than once. E.G. (ca. 2005) http://tech.slashdot.org/story...
If they actually start lighting it up in more places, however, that would indeed be good news.

I believe the only proper response to this threat is to introduce common sense bomb control legislation.

Right, legacy means nothing to him. Nor does party momentum. Obama does everything from righteousness and virtue now.

Curious, if not Apache httpd, then what?
