Two people making $25k/yr should be individually paying the taxes on their own $25k. There should be no ability to transfer tax burden between partners. An adult makes $25k, that adult pays the taxes due on $25k. It's not a diffic

The glaringly obvious explanation is that people are buying the quantity they wish to eat. Why is it so unbelievable that people will buy 10 nuggets instead of 20 for the same price? I'm not going to take 10 extra nuggets and either th

True. To be more specific: while UAC is great for requiring admin privileges, it would be nice if UAC prompts would enumerate the permissions being asked for. The prompt should be asking you if you wish to allow the program to disable Windo

I'm so tired of the financial benefits that a) married couples, and b) parents, receive. Being married or having children should provide exactly zero financial benefit from governments beyond what bachelors/bachelorettes receive.

For the typical larger project, you'd wind up with hundreds of indexes each used by a single application query. The optimal index arrangement for a database often does not result in all columns being indexed on a query. It's norma

Of course the video doesn't show anything interesting, the mosquito's leg is hardly even grazed. I was definitely hoping for the version where a drop smacked the insect dead on target. Fairly strange for a lab result - if that&#x2

Or you know, place the ability to disable Windows Update behind policy restrictions and UAC rather than being openly editable in the registry? With policy restrictions, corporate installations could deny all attempts to disable the service.

What the hell. A developer who writes x << 3 instead of x * 8 when writing code that is logically doing multiplication is not a good developer. Written code is designed for human readability; the human should not be having to convert

Strangely with Canada, I think it depends on where within the country you immigrate to. As a native Canadian from the prairies who moved to Montreal 10 years ago, I have met and worked with so many immigrants here that I now believe I know

I just looked through Google Map's API licensing options. Obviously you may quickly max out your limit. It doesn't look like there's really an extended paid model to increase the limit by much? 100k requests is the only addit

Two features to replace dragging: 1. Fade timeout on messages (10 to 20 seconds). 2. Clicking on a chat bubble needs to bring it to the front (change the z-index). Sometimes just want to read a specific message hidden behind another, and ha

Articles like this are harmful. There are many of us successfully using gitflow without _any_ of the issues raised in the article. And yet people who want to argue against the use of it simply because they don't want to learn somethi

I believe you meant to say "it proves your business isn't as squeaky clean as you make out". With a response like that, clearly their business was operating in some kind of grey area. It's unfortunate that when this happ

Does the NSA allow its employees to look for help from the general public like this? Seems odd for such a secretive organization to post publicly asking for help on how to parse our conversations.

If the technology cannot provide unlimited for customers who have paid for it, then unlimited service should not be sold. Simple as that. Anything else is inexcusable. If the technology stack can only handle all customers at 250 kBps, then

Unlikely they'll squeeze more linodes onto a physical machine. The overhead being saved isn't that enormous. Not to mention there might be more CPU, but there isn't necessarily enough memory, disk I/O, and/or netw

Honestly the only problem with your scheme has been sharing it. If your hackernews account can be used to find other accounts of yours online, you've just made writing a custom brute force script for your accounts much easier. I imagin

Another pain point is the delay from Friday's discovery to Monday's disclosure. While it's better than the sometimes weeks other companies have taken, it screams of the discovery happening at 4pm on a Friday, and everybody

Well-intentioned or not on your part, I would quit my company if they required me to input my opinions into such a tool. With only 10 devs, it is instantly possible to match any downward trend to a specific individual based on keen observat

I'm also not a Stripe customer, but back when I went to check out how it worked, the most impressive thing was being able to skip the sign up and jump directly into a usable product. Spend some time setting up your account. If you like

However, the things you love about Stripe - like its ease of integration - likely come from the same dedication to quality and user experience that went into the design. Amazing UIs are often an indication of a well-thought out product in w

Technically these issues are solved with what I indicated is always missing: time. What you outlined is accurate: proper testing also requires proper planning for tests. For more complicate projects, you don't just start writing them
