My kids had insurance through their mom, because she made shitty pay, but good benefits. She lost her job and put them on state medicaid plan. Suddenly my son who has never had a cavity in his life needed 6 fillings.

I took him to my dentist who found a single tooth that may have a cavity but it's too early to be sure. A year later he's had one filling. And that one was not any of the teeth the other dentist wanted to drill. He flosses in public bathrooms.

They obviously was a cash grab and were going to just drill the fuck out of his mouth to maximize medicaid payments.

Imagine the first object from another civilization flies by Earth and it's just an off site backup.

Airbnb does this already. I used to work remote and they have digital nomad housing... Specially WiFi and private workspace as part of the amenities you can require.

My device *not theirs.

That's the reason I don't buy Apple stuff to begin with.

I would be upset because I bought the hardware and they arbitrarily won't let my music from Spotify play on it while their own music does.

Remember it's my device, but theirs. Not apples. If they are going to allow third party apps then do so, but there's no technical reason to not allow the service.

Imagine Ford says you can only use a certain brand of tires on your new car, or can only buy tires through the dealership. That's what's going on here.

I can build a whole app in only a hundred lines of code once I add a million lines of code... :)

I'm still making the poor choice. I had kids, started raising them in a small town and missed the boat on going out west or wherever to follow they money. About $60k is average software developer pay around here.

I finally break 6 figures and my kids are almost graduated into college. If I left them behind after the divorce I could literally blank check pay for their college.

But I'm deciding to be their dad instead of chasing the money. But 3 more yesterday the last one graduates and I'm ready to go do machine learning and all the fun stuff. So. Sick. Of. Web sites.

I would recommend you let your family be. There earlier stuff in your career was health problems you said and people come first. The houses you talk about now are like gifts. They don't have immediate need so you can get them something better in the future.

And just how hard is it to reach your level btw? I've been programming twenty years... Is it hard to get a job after 40?

Google's army of lawyers and cash reserves keeps patent trolls away. Pt try to go after little and medium companies who don't have the time or resources to fight back. It's way cheaper to write a check and make the problem go away, rather than fight via expensive lawyers or getting audited before the shakedown.

Agreed. My previous company has to deal with trolls like this. They somehow managed a patent on turning 2d pictures into 3d panoramas which Google and iPhone do in the phones. We used software from Germany but since it violated the patent and we were tiny, boom lawsuit. This supreme Court ruling saved the company because we got it transferred to our state and the judge laughed them away.

It would be like suing a grocery store because Microsoft word violated you're spell check patent.

They only go after like guys who can't fight back.

I just want a reader that can turn my e books into audio books for when I'm driving.

Hasn't this been known for a while? My personal trainer has a degree in this stuff and he was telling me muscle mitochondria never go away once grown and that was years ago.

The end result of this is a bunch of trolls in Russia might be out of a job soon and get replaced by a server farm running in the target country pumping out similar but not identical stories.

What this might usher in is the era of cryptographically signed news articles. Not just credibility but verifiability. Blocking

I just took a job taking over for a retiring guy in a factory and he wrote everything in vb6 and ladder logic which I swear looks exactly like Delphi. Ladder logic itself is annoying as hell to work with but I do like the little bits of Delphi mixed in for the complicated math stuff.

The other guy wrote everything in gcode macros using notepad.

Lots of memories though. Giant Enterprise applications we created 20 years ago.

Have to admit I really prefer go and rust and python though. I think I still have all those Dr Dobbs in my basement too. :)

Moto g6 play smooth as can be

The new layout is annoyingly modern but I do like the ability to read an article and go back to the list without reloading the page.

Now if res can just be updated for the new site to further fix all the little niceties. The fast use switching inevitably drives me back to old mode soon enough.

In the mean time create a bunch of accounts to help their valuation right? I've got a dozen accounts and forgotten the password to at least as many.

I just want to say the title on yc is so much better than the original. Making something cheaper and simple is innovation. Reverse innovation is ambiguous and confusing.

That seems unfair and wrong. I'm forced to have a job to pay my bills and I get to pick my job but that doesn't exactly mean it's without my consent.

I also have the choice of not working or wiring some other job.

I would say it's a responsibility not supporting forced on people against their will. Two very different things.

Where is this business located? Our city has a real estate boom going on. The landlord night honor the lease rather than incur the cost of fighting it but would be unlikely to renew with that attitude.

Then again evicting a person is hard enough. I have no idea how hard it is to evict a company.

There's a ton of places to work. If you don't like how they treat you up front then don't bother applying. If it's not web design usually it's the engineer coding the company not the other way around.

Basically because that's what your contract agreed to. I have something similar. I have 3 sick days per year and if I don't use them they become vacation PTO for next year. Regular pto doesn't roll over but sick days do.

If you look at the study they don't actually test anyone with ADHD at all. Just talk about it.

They should have a population with confirmed ADHD taje Ritalin or not and then play the game. The headline had nothing to do with the drug or ADHD.

People who played more got better compared to playing bingo is all they could take claim.

I wouldn't call it self inflicted with all the Russian social media trolling other countries. It's just pushed a bit past the tipping point.

Smile transfers a portion (0.5%) of the sale to a charity of the buyers choice. You can't force or even suggest one in the link and it only applies to smile.amazon.com links. I think St Jude's is the default though so they may come out ahead if you change the URL.

So FAANG doesn't include Microsoft. Are they different or does it just make things unpronounceable?

My pet peeve is getting a coding assignment with a bug or syntax error or misplaced curly bracket that turns the coding exercise into a trick question. The compiler or editor would catch all that stuff so don't expect me to do it by hand unless you're paying me to work in notepad.

That's a good point. If you can already translate words you could implement some of the basic features like search on the same device.

For me it doesn't. It's a quick way to see that I made a typo when a keyword doesn't turn the right color, or that I closed a strong with the wrong quote Mark.

You can use a third party Facebook app like Material or Tinfoil Hat that has messaging built in by simulating an old web browser. It's a little clunky but it at least isn't always running and has no access to your address book or contacts.

The downside that you get no alerts someone responded but I like it. I check on my own time.

I remember decades ago seeing it come out and thinking we already have irc and email and chat. Why throw in "with xml" and think it's going to be better.

Shows what I know. Way to stick with it. :)

I thought that too. If getting money is good, then spending can't be all bad because you must be giving it to someone else and at minimum creating good for that person, possibly less good if it's spread the a corporation instead of directly to an individual.
