It is very hard to change the overall size of the messages, and there's a lot of pressure to keep them short. So it could have been a bitfield or several similar things... e.g a value in a char field

Actually reminds me of the style of a similar article from Penn state written in the 1940s

Part of the goal for many students is to find a mate. That's hard if there are two girls for every guy, or the reverse.

Another legal extortionist

A 4 year old can walk 5 miles. You don't need cell service- if you can read a map, or just look for landmarks, you will be fine. Moon is still bright. Walking though mud is annoying but easier than deep snow. Getting your stuff back might be annoying, but there's no reason most of these people couldn't walk out of they had to. I've been stranded by a natural disaster-waited a few days and hitchhiked out after fording a river that took out the only bridge. This is just sensationalist stuff; a few tech bros will miss work on Tuesday, but that's the major effect

What am I missing here? Flat walk in comfortable temps in a straight line. 5 miles with a bit of rain and some mud. I wouldn't do this in heels, but this doesn't seem life threatening

There have been multiple shootings and deaths at this event most years. The governor's aide got killed in 2015. I don't love this, but identifying where the large parties are seems reasonable

Mostly. I studied math, lived with cs majors, read their books, and downloaded the syllabus for a couple universities and did those problems

Basically a .9% tax increase on must tech salaries. Going to take out close to 1.5% or more of tech bro disposable income

So the standard way that this works out is that an employee testifies that he was improving coerced to sign a card, and the company challenges the nlrb and the court reaffirms the sc decision. So this strikes me as political grandstanding at taxpayer expense; Congress needs to change the law and the nlrb doesn't have the authority to do it unilaterally

I had trouble believing that these things were even legal given that we'd made the same mistakes during the 1920s. The very idea of 'let's form a company to get a bunch of money but we're not going to tell you what for' is entirely reminiscent of the south seas bubble language from the 1720s. I'm glad the SEC finally effectively killed these things.

And thus guaranteeing that nobody will read his dissertation, and making it even less likely that he'll be a successful academic.

The anti discrimination laws have been extended to encompass nannies and day card, and you've got a ton of scamming lawyers encouraging extremely poor women to sue their employees because the legal fees are so costly that it forces settlement. Guess who pays for this

This is good. Small stakes gambling on slow markets is much better than sports gambling

This is a long video that can be summarized as remove steering column cover, remove key cylinder, use USB cable to turn inner key linkage and drive

Once again, sf lacks decent managers and the political will to ensure that the citizens are receiving good value for these rather outsize compensation plans

He used to advise undergrads, many of whom didn't know how famous he was

All those videos are having an impact

Bold strategy of reorganizing based on willingness to move, though I don't know the history of ether the teams were located. Seems terribly disruptive, but so is a union; one outcome is that everyone loses their job and the assets are sold to match

Taste is not listed. I tried eating them for a week while on a hiking trip, and can't stand a bunch to this day. Some of them really do feel like eating chocolate flavored chalk.

I read jardine and gave up my hiking boots years ago in favor of thick polyurethane soled sneakers like nb 990. Those are great for dry rocky trails. Add more rocks and you'll wish you had a toe box and some ankle protection. I've tried using lightweight sneakers and suffered some bad falls due to the soles slipping. Otoh, if you want to do 20+ miles per day, you have to make choices

So the answer seems to be that fish and potatoes have gotten relatively more expensive than other products, that "green" policies have driven up energy costs, penalizing high energy usage businesses, and that the overwhelming lack of economic growth, combined with the ever increasing tax harvest, have made fish and chip demographic people relatively poorer.

She'll be eminently qualified for comedic gangster rap when she's done

Most of the people who are going to be let go are pretty talented and hopefully fairly flexible. They'll find work, maybe not at the salaries that they were getting before, but this has happened many times before.

One special gifts officer told me that the U had rejected a rather limited number of people whose families had 8 billion dollars.

3 million might get you into Brown, but it isn't going to get you into Harvard.

This statement is a bit misleading, as the criteria get to be hair-splittingly narrow when you are talking about a school with a sub 5% acceptance rate -- you could fill the whole class with valedictorians. Nevertheless, my experience is that in terms of finding a 'better' candidate:

Legacy -- legacy preference is pitched as a tiebreaker. Most of the legacies are actually quite good, and many are exceptional, so perhaps 30-50% got in over some 'better' kid. But in many cases, those slots represent something like geographic diversity, or a legacy kid of a minority or a kid of some famous person, and they generally don't take dolts. So this is not a huge tip.

FacBrat -- The kids of professors tend to be extremely and sometimes extraordinarily good -- their parents are Harvard professors, and that tends to rub off. Staff members less so, but it is politically hard to reject them if you want to keep their parents. There are more in the second category than in the first. So perhaps 60% of the kids get in based on this tip.

Donor -- Not a lot of these that I know of. Even in the 1930s, the son of the President of IBM got rejected from Harvard and Princeton because he was a goof off. I seriously doubt that there are more than 10-20 kids/year who get in this way who wouldn't otherwise.

Athlete -- This is where very few of these kids would get in if they were in the general pool -- 10% max I'd guess. A lot of them are very good, but that level of dedication to sport tends to eat time that could have been used for academics or other worthwhile pursuits.

I've always been amazed that they recruit for Golf, Squash, Crew, Fencing, Diving, Tennis, Lax, and Water Polo... these sports are limited to prep schools and rich suburban districts ... not exactly equitable.

Is this even legal? Can you have a founder's fund limited to white males?

Kind of a weird guy. No relation to Bronner's Christmas World, but came from the same part of Bavaria. The soap is great and cheap, and, so long as the family doesn't screw taht up, there will be plenty of jobs for the fourth generation

It is an excellent language for situations that requires low latency or raw throughput on a single processor, or systems and embedded programming. These situations are less common in be development because it is often cheaper to use more productive languages and more and more powerful computers to solve a given problem.

Caused huge attrition of the 1st and 2nd year stem students (i.e. quit with a masters). The union was dominated by humanities students, and they fought for what they wanted, not what the overall membership wanted. Very few STEM folks had any interest in being part of the union, but because so many voted with their feet, it was hopeless to set up a decertifiying petition.
