You're talking centuries of property and estate rights laws in all states and counties. It would be a freakin' mess. But yeah, this ruling eschews poly relationships.

It seems the parents that don't spend time with their kids, end up HAVING to spend time with their kids later in life with many issues that could have been corrected easier when they were younger. A ham-fisted example: stealing a pack

My most heartening point of this post and story, is that there are only 21 comments as of this post (22 after I hit 'enter'). So, while I sourly identify with this piece and want to post it outside of my cube wall... this isn&#x

I applaud the thought, but then they have to have an estimate of how long the estimate will take... which often ends-up wrong.

One thing that everyone likes linkedin for (ok, most) is that your resume is there for your friends to see. Lie on your resume too much, you WILL get called-out on it. So it's almost a sort of self-validating resume checker.

To add, as a software engineer that knows very little about hardware... the arduino is pretty bulletproof and also dynamic enough to handle very sloppily designed electrical work.

I would bet it would be more likely related to '1'. I know insurance rates went down across the board 1-2 years back. It's hard to get a car without traction control and ABS now, which makes a huge difference. According to t

An interesting theory that seems to make sense to me, is that in a sense who you're born to determines your eating habits. The recipes handed-down from the ages are my wife and I's go-tos, even when they are unhealthy at times.

Competent leadership is, I'm finding, incredibly hard to come by. Most tech leaders I've had the fortune/misfortune to be under seem to be of the sort where they were in the right industry at the right time, and they were th

There is a rumor in the company I work for currently that an employee went to go work for a vendor of ours. That vendor was informed that if they wanted to stay a vender, they wouldn't hire that former employee. The former employee

Having an elevator-pitch somewhere obvious where an idiot like me could see/find it would have been nice. They really could have put 'awesome' in 15 different fonts and sizes, and maybe some 'more awesome' in there

my "cool story, Hansel" that goes with this: I worked in electronic bingo. One of the things we faced was that paper bingo card manufacturers routinely wanted to limit the effectiveness of electronic bingo markers so-as not to d

I don't think he's equating the people themselves with zero, rather the benefit to them. A good example where technology has really helped in Africa are cell phones. So many stories of fishermen being able to call and ask "

Yeah, but they usually allow some level of payment or some time period before they call it late.

I'm very sad it's come to this, but bankruptcy is what I was thinking. That said, lets start the discussion: a) They're only obligated to provide some treatment (Here's a band-aid for your tumor) to get to stability. Th

I like the idea, but these were the principles they were supposed to be following in the first place but weren't. What makes anyone think that any amount of laws passed will be respected?

I think you described it. In all likelyhood though, her income drops to zero, she qualifies for medicaid...which isn't great, ever...but it works.

I get where you're coming from, but I'm thinking like, college, multi-lingual private schools, a dad that takes time off of work for the sake of time off of work. Toys are nice too, but we're totally covered. This kid won&#x

I know it is trite to say, "No one can afford having a kid." but it's really the truth. For me, sure daycare, toys, and food aren't putting me in the poorhouse, but there is no way I can bankroll everything I think my ki

I don't know that startup vs. big matters as much as small vs. big. If you can work for a profitable small company where you matter and you wear many many hats, you will be far better prepared to make an impact on your own if/whe

I think this is all well and good, there are always things we procrastinate. However, I think if you need to run your life like this... maybe look at what you're doing, as a whole. I don't think you should have to hack your moti

What do we cut spending on? There's never any cost-benefit analysis of what we stand to gain by cutting what's left to cut. It's frustrating, because the right wants a nice, happy round number to match their nice happy round-number of a ta

How much of this is age bias, and how much of this is looking for the likely candidate to work for no money for 80 hours a week like this might turn into something huge?
