In the beginning, his copywriter made the same 0.05$/word and the poster was making 0$/month. So the copywriter has shouldered no risk either. He's also free to try and get more per word but he might be in a place where 0.05U

Using the small supplier exemption seems really doubtful to me. That pushes the tax collection liability on the driver (who can't collect taxes, since payment is through Uber app) and the limit for that is 30k$ so a lot of drivers shou

It's kind of funny cause I'm in the imaging side and there's a buzz now about "deconstructed PACS" where centers will mix and match different vendors to provide radiologist workflow, image storage, DMWL worklist, Di

He's probably limiting the definition to the kind of overarching EMR that fully replaces paper charts for all departments and provide a single view of the patients. I've also done migrations (I'm in radiology systems, PACS an

I work in healthcare integration. I have interfaced with EPIC and Cerner and pretty much all the other main EHR platforms and seen my clients struggle with their IT. You sir are absolutely spot on. As for single-payer, well yes it does make

The drone swarm folks are persistent and resist the facts that as drone lethality approaches fighter jet, so does the size, complexity, cost and operational requirement of the drone. It's one thing for a drone to carry a few hellfires

Instagram has notionally the same dynamic as twitter but somehow they do a lot better at convincing their eye balls that they are welcome on the platform and have a voice. Or at least it seems to me.

I believe this is called "Job security." I've seen it a few times including a dev deleting the source code repo and substituting all copy of a set of scripts he was responsible for with compiled binaries. This was discovered

If it was for free, the FBI would get tipped off when a Geek Squad employee accidentally came upon something incriminating. No worries there. By paying them 500$ (remembering that Geek Squad pay is shit) they incentivize the GS employees to

Apache did the same thing in 1.3.xx (I'm not familiar with the 2.x codebase, it was not popular in 2000). You had a per-request pool to allocate from and once the request was done, the whole pool was free()'d. It was my first enco

If you take the low estimate of 3m$ a day, this is $1B a year. The often quoted figure I've seen for the size of the ad fraud "market" is $7B. That's a big chunk of a "market" that is mostly cottage industry. A

They only have to do the very minimum to recover from detection. The incentive is for them to keep the largest possible bag of tricks ready to deploy every time they get a dip in revenue due to fraud detection to milk the fraud. Besides, mo

Most Parisian apartments are tiny. You can forget about owning a free standing house. If you can afford that, you don't need investors in your start up... Or you're not in Paris at all. Think Manhattan. Paris' overall populat

Wow, I didn't realize Intel still made Itaniums and that HP still sold box built around them. Or that HP-UX 11i was, like a Zombie, still alive somehow.
