Also a steady stream of people that unknowingly have subscriptions. If you have older parents or grand parents, show them the subscriptions screen in the app store from time to time.

(USA specific) Depending on the state, "totaled" might still mean YOU can't fix and drive your car again. In Illinois, you can only retain a totaled vehicle if it was hail damage or it's a "vintage (9+ yr old) car.

At the end of the day, when something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck; it doesn't matter how much the nitty-gritty details prove the thing is absolutely not "actually" a duck to the average person.

The "smarts" of a smart tv is just spyware(adware) by a different name that actively subsidizes and reduces the cost of low-end TVs.

What worked for me was convincing myself, deep deep down, that I don't want any alcohol to drink. It's just poison, addictive poison, that's provably bad for you with like no real upsides that aren't just shaky argum

Lol. Drunk drivers are killers. People that text and drive are killers. People that get kicked by their kid and turn around for a second to yell at them are killers. I'll take an unfatigable, indistractable, computer that literally

There are other benefits, pair programming reduces a whole category of simple bugs/typos to basically 0, keeps people on task, offers (literally) immediate feedback. Unlike most programming "best practices" or paradigms, t

Do you drink a lot of coffee or other caffeinated drinks, especially later in the day? I used to think caffeine didn't have much affect on my sleep, until I cut it out. Old habits die hard, but I just drink decaf coffee now and am g

I think you run a much bigger risk of a "West Coast" party in the FPTP system (looking at SNP in the UK). In a proportional system, California and the west coast is not pure blue or liberal or some new "independence party&qu

I would set up each reporting unit (precint/causaus site) with their own sheet. There are probably only 5-10 officials per site that should even have edit access, maybe less, like only secretaries? Make a nice formatted layout specifi

Minus the google being evil part, this entire operation could have been done in google sheets and would probably have gone 100 x better. With free robust revision history, permission control, and everything....

There's other ways of manipulating the numbers too. I attended App Academy, but as an "auditing student" meaning I paid the same price and did the same work but, according to the information, I might not get a pair to progr

This makes sense to me and rings true to my own experience. I went to a bootcamp and the people that did the best were those with a good deal of prior experience, and thus able to digest the most information. Students coming with zero (or

Sure there is: https://www.reddit.com/r/zerocarb/ That said, eating only animal products makes keto look tame in comparison.

I'll echo other replies and agree that we should put different people in prison, not more. I'd argue that white collar crime hurts more people than consensual and most violent crimes and it should be punished as such.

I live mostly in the front end world, but if I was asked this (without looking it up) I'd say a DB builds a tree (balanced tree, binary tree maybe?) using the columns requested. This allows for very fast lookups when the table is que

Keto might not be for everyone, but unless you're a type 1 diabetic it's not nearly as dangerous as you're describing. It's just a low carb high fat.

Even assuming your conservative adoption/relevance curve of the technology itself, I don't think we need too many more incremental steps before society has to stand up and take notice of an unemployment problem that can't kee

Take any suggestions you see here with a grain of salt, but my ¢2. Being 'the top of the class' at a boot camp doesn't mean much, unless you have a chance of being hired on as an instructor (which can be very well paid). As
