> They own their farm > barely above the poverty line. Doesn't really add up. Any guesses on how much a farm in Vermont costs? It's not cheap. Big hunch the money for that farm came from someone else. Most likely an inhe

I absolutely disagree that this type of "home schooling" should be legal. I do believe it is child abuse. These people should be treated just any parent that does not enroll their child in school. And I think they should have thei

The other reply to this talking about depriving your child of an education etc, is exactly what I would say. And absolutely, yes I feel that this is definitely child abuse.

Even if that were true, I would have learned much less as there were many things I and many children learned via reading far before the age of 11. So while they supposedly caught up on reading, they had missed out on several years of learni

The concern I'm trying to relay here is that at this point no regulator wants to be seen as asleep at the wheel while the next Uber / Airbnb grows to become an 800 pound gorilla. It's all over the news. It's everywhere.

It's amazing how one can take the parity achieved via competition and relay it unilaterally to the quality achieved via competition.

Right, but thanks to Uber et al and their complete and flaunting disregard for regulations, regulators are now getting hyper aggressive in return. In the past the slow movement of regulations had a lot to do with regulators taking the time

We're finally getting the over the top push back that all those maybe legal startups kept asking for. This is what happens when you keep poking someone(the regulators) with a stick. Eventually your credibility drops to near zero and ev

There is bias based on if it is socially acceptable in an area to be unhappy. There are many places where saying you are unhappy is looked down upon or causes people to avoid you. This study also should have controlled for antidepressant us

I just call those two SafarIE. Safari is shaping up to be the new IE so we might as well just say them in one phrase instead of always specifying them both.

They are sold in parcels. There isn't like a list of debtors in default the bank maintains that you can go pick from. It's more like here's 1,287 loans defaulted on, worth a total of $4,342,230 that you can bid on.

Exactly. Buying your debt off for a penny on the dollar is probably the stupidest thing you could do financially. You would be trading $10,000 in credit card debt, with a fair amount of legal protections, for $4,000 in IRS debt with very fe

I feel like I would be safe saying 99%(if not all) of this paper is not small business paper. These are the debts that are sold off in large parcels by banks and credit card companies. Small businesses typically use flat fee collection agen

I imagine if you spent most of your time worrying about language design in general, your "business apps dev" wouldn't be too successful. Some people look a little further than the meal on their own plate.

"Why they're important". I feel like that is a pretty tough one to generalize.

The reason for banning it is more about stuff like flying over a field with detection equipment looking for marijuana, it's not because hemp will get you high.

Some of those PR articles are so obvious a bag-of-words classifier would probably be right 80% of the time.
