That’s anti-fraud to stop someone from stealing your card and using it elsewhere. You can usually pre-empt that by informing the bank of travel.

Well, if you receive your shares at the limit price, it hardly matters to you, does it?

Well, they’re making a product choice to bias to aiming at one direction. That’s just a product choice that’s a useful differentiator when the most recent successful dating apps have been hookup apps.

All you have to do is live unemployed and take money from the government, thus draining it of killing money.

Both you and Google are helping with the killing because it helps you make money. That’s okay. We all do terrible things for money. You can withhold taxes by dropping your income below the minimum threshold.

Interesting scheme. You corner a scarce resource and then sell it. I wonder what new permit schemes we’re going to see and how we can capitalize on this.

And yet you fund the killing with your taxes. You know they kill, you know they need money to build the killing machines, you give them money.

Those are government agencies you voted for. American citizens want leaders who bomb countries. Go vote a non-interventionist or isolationist if you want someone else. Face the truth. If you want no killing, Your enemy isn’t Google, it’s yo

Eh? This comment makes no sense. Wesley Chan is American, dude. He’s amazed at what people are doing in China. If anything he’s bringing the cultural habits of a 9-5 job from the US to China and being surprised by it, hence ‘we’ and not ‘th

Well, it most certainly is, isn’t it? You get an additional double digit percentage. That’s going to help your margins. They aren’t scammers, though, because most people want this. Of course it is unfair to you, but most countries have thei

Is it really a scam if it’s what taxpayers want? I don’t think this is interesting because any conservative trend. It’s a cool business hack that allows you to make money without taxes.

The skill barrier is low. It’s all turnkey now with cloud platforms. Literally just a web tutorial away. The hard part is the audience and the fact that video hosting is expensive for individuals.

It’s a pretty clever business niche and a way to run tax-free. The end result is a cultural machine that may well have changed the nature of Christian worship. Interesting, no?

If you’re paying for GHE you don’t have any trouble. That’s delivered as an appliance you host.

But we aren’t average are we, Bruce?

It wasn’t when we learned it in high school, but it’s just that it’s a story that’s easy to tell. Just like the Königsberg reference for Eulerian graphs; Kekule and the Benzene ring; Lorenz, the weather, the butterfly, and deterministic cha

A regular personal trainer at a top gym is $12k/year. That’s not that much. It’s approx $23k pre-tax which isn’t a game changer tbh.

Are you using this in prod? I’d be very surprised. I wouldn’t use this for prod data.

Well, I’d expect there to be aggregate result stores as well for other dashboards that may store the same data sorted and aggregated a different way.

In California, you soon won’t be able to keep 6 months max. You have to hold a year.

They can do that. But I’m not paying for them either. Pull federal funding for their police and libraries. No LSTA for Oregon.

Elementary always looked nice but I moved on because I needed modern libraries.

How about training? Training is beneficial to an employee. Employment itself should count, I’d argue, because the law of comparative advantage means both parties could (and probably do) benefit but even setting that aside, training should c

You get that with Java 8 and later because you can just define a FunctionalInterface and then use a mapping table to function-to-use and it gets really compact. If you want to decorate arbitrary functions that should be fairly trivial too.

That’s what I feel too. It’s like in The Goal by Eli Goldratt. The machinery of building product is all cost. Inventory is cost. Machinery is cost. Only finished sold product is revenue. Analogously, code is cost, infra is cost, only our so

Honestly have found it nothing but a pleasure to use. Not at all upset by the UI. It’s fine. Hg is fine. They’re easy enough to use that I never think about it and I rebase interactive daily and am comfortable with the reflog. It surprising
