That sounds like the descriptions of the IPO purchasers (being the cash out providers for insiders) just before the last dotcom crash. They didn't know what it was but they wanted to be invested in tech.. anything they couldn't un

There is nothing inherently wrong with a briefcase, but I think the ideal use of large internationally recognized notes is to sew your life savings into your clothes before you sneak across the border to try to start a securer life. The alt

I think writing an IDE or anything else with editor integration during the editor wars would be a similar analogy: - you could push one or the other - you could try to support users on both side based on the editor variable - you could go t

But none of your examples are as cross system portable and "native/normal feel" as writing an app that only works in chrome/chromium. For the decades leading up to this stage cross system GUIs with a few simple library d

The French program as quoted is nothing like basic income. I've seen quite a few people just need a few bucks. The longterm risk of that and the likelihood that if they didn't get the few bucks they would need permanent safety net

Give me money and I'll make you rich. Don't mind that I am spying on your allocators of money. More money please. My friends that I bought with your money want to sell crack on your streets, thats cool right? How about some heroin

And the last thing you need is those recruiters finding qualified employees in the US when you hire by h1.. I find that companies are very much opposed to seriously finding those matches where the employees are convertable since longterm em

It might not be sufficient, but I would no longer pay for education and do it "on the record" without first taking the equivalent free classes. From what we know about human memory the practice of cramming a topic for 3 months is

I find these quotes very confusing, did they delete any words of criticism&support as well as the repost of the photo, and if so were they posted separately or together with the photo? It seems like purely reposting a photo without comm

Malcolm X got a fair amount of criticism for saying JFKs assisination was chickens comming home to roost, I.e. poor US policy brought the same back on them. In this case, the terrorist the US designed to attack Soviet forces now view the US

This could end well, or at least comically. I am sure the Saudis have a treasure trove of evidence on the source of Afghan war derived terrorism and the US is now equally compelling them to share it and hide it? Killing Malcolm X might not

Imo, that is just turning neurosis into high art. To flip it around, sociopaths are charming and dangerous people and they aren't going to waste time trying to make social progress with a relative brickwall, when there is buisiness ski

Yes, and HN is in violation of Google's performance guidelines for putting those sensible rules in a sensible place. > Not all websites can do without all of that - imagine a photography site, or an e-commerce site, etc. without pic

HN is neither of the two and IMO represents where people spend most of their time. I think Google's CSS embedding is terrible advice for the meaningful web, but logical advice for adwords landing pages or sites with content so bad or s

No, they "often" ask people to cancel and state personal grounds or scheduling conflict, etc. Much like suspicious resignations. Then they get wierder when people refuse but the facts are then confusing nonsense about inflexibili

A net zero property seems like it could generate less paperwork if the management balanced incomming and outgoing payments, (less their fee.) How exactly do they pay utilities/etc without anyone noticing their transfers? But I don&#x27

If you have any bachelors then you should be able to add a BSCS with about a fulltime year of credit. I would do that part time over 4-6 years, ideally while working somewhere that pays for it. If you don't have a bachelors, I would re

Normally no, but here the "owner" was claiming it is the artist's work, not a facsimile or reproduction. So this is an exact case of the normally theoretical ill that trademark and brand related law is supposed to protect aga

People who initially win in gambling will kick around money for longer than those who lose on their first play.. So excluding immediate dropouts can make a gamble look like an investment.

Toothpaste is heavily branded in a health related fashion that makes it hard for hotels to get away with fake botique and paying for a real brand risks offending users of a "higher" or competing brand. Then there are also the fore

You can suceed on $0, but are you willing to fail to keep that limit? I've never seen someone not sink $5-10k post release into a production stage flop. A success may never need paid marketing, but a flop is a "what if" until

The bottom is -10k, you have to outlay for lawyer, marketing, hosting and possibly travel or industry specific capital. No matter what your research you can have zero paid uptake in the market. I.e. Google can solve your chosen task for yo
