A depressing reality to this question is to just look at the current crop of billionaires. None of them need money, yet many of them spend their time pursuing more.

I know all of us have these quaint answers about all the noble or fulfilling things we would do, but the data doesn't seem to support that.

Is there a functional reason for why toilet lids do not close in an air-tight fashion? If there were no openings for the particles to escape through, it seems like it would make closing the lid more effective.

My daughter (14) is currently going through this scenario. She was in a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade. The school she went to did not offer 9-12 so we had to transition her to a more traditional school for high school. We were extremely concerned that the daily classroom structure would be a problem, but she's adapted wonderfully. Despite never having traditional grades, tests, and quizzes, she currently has all A's and B's and is doing great. Speaking for myself, I don't think I give my kids enough credit for just how adaptable/resilient they are.

It's hard to see, but I think Java and .NET are linked to the "Other Options" box in the chart.

The same thought came to my mind. When wearing my polarized sunglasses, sometimes the screens on gas station pumps will be unreadable. However, if I rotate my head slightly one way or the other, the polarization filter is removed and I can read the screen clearly.

I did something similar in college. A company paid cash for installing software that displayed ads on the bottom of your monitor. It qualified your ad viewing activity based on mouse movement.

At night I would open the software, wrap my mouse cord around an oscillating desk fan, then go to bed. Earned myself $50/month

You summed up my feelings perfectly. So many notable moments in my life played out over AIM conversations, especially discussions with my girlfriend (now wife) when we were geographically separated during our college years.

This sounds very similar to the ideas in stoicism. Your feelings are your own creation and subsequently completely within your control. If you are feeling bad about something, it's not because of that something, but because you are -choosing- to feel bad.

Thank you!

It seems to me that you could just put some kind of sensor on the inside of the gas pump access door that notifies someone as soon as the door is opened. If you know there is a maintenance guy scheduled for that day/time, then you just ignore the notification. If not, then you know that there has been unauthorized access to the pump.

In this case, "visual" is just a wall of text presented with some extra styling.

"While you may be able to avoid & slip under the radar of a local Intrusion Detection System, it is unlikely you'll be able to avoid being caught by a cloud hosted IDS like Barricade."

Ugh.

I've read somewhere that it won't work if there are multiple VirtualHost blocks in the same file. Allegedly if you separate each vhost config into it's own file, it will start working. YMMV.

IMHO, niche sub-reddits are really where Reddit shines. I can't even remember the last time I intentionally visited /r/all. Topic-specific sub-reddits are my go-to source for unbiased information, advice, and birds of a feather.

Just got this setup on our Slack channel. The setup was a really pleasant experience. Well done!

Spot on. Last year I decided to take up lock picking as a casual hobby. After reading up on the process and practicing on some old locks I had laying around, I decided to try to pick my own front door lock. I was able to pick it in under 3 minutes...

It was an moment of epiphany for me - I realized that door locks really only provide an illusion of security. Anyone who really wants to get into your house quickly can just avoid the lock all together by kicking in the door or breaking a window.

Me too!

I agree that these resolution jumps aren't overly relevant for casual TV viewing.

The increased resolutions are important, however, for the success of VR headsets where the display is literally inches away from your eyes.

"Thankfully, this is somewhat rare, though it does happen fairly often."

Wait, what?

So, whereas a lot of people masquerade their spirits within soda cans, Zhukov was masquerading his soda as vodka. I love it!

I love that term. You described exactly how I work: take an existing block of code, break it apart until I fully understand every line, then reassemble to meet my needs.

I love the idea of the invitation tree. It would be interesting if the person who invited you was also able to uninvite you in the event that you begin to reflect poorly on them. This would provide a level of self-policing.

Also, I would very much appreciate an invite if anyone is a current member

I would very much appreciate an invite as well. Adding my request to the list.

Thanks!

There is a third-party service called GroupTweet that has been doing something similar for years... http://www.grouptweet.com

Curious how this will affect their service.

Presumably this would be 11 pounds on top of the existing load out, in which case 11 extra pounds wouldn't be a trivial amount. Probably subjective though.

Just make sure you are at least 18 years old... http://www.pcworld.com/article/2039940/paypal-denies-teenage...

Same here. Same setup (24/12.04). For a minute I thought the mobile version was the new front page.

Great app. It's a little buggy, but my four year old caught on quickly and made it through the first 5-6 levels before I had to take it away so she could go to bed. As a developer, this made me a very proud daddy!
