I wrote a grease monkey script that allowed you to annotate a website and save the notes permanently to local storage. It had all of the above features. The only real limitation is the sandboxing.
Works until you carry something into the area that wasn't made there. Where do I throw away the packaging from the Vietnamese cookies I bought while on vacation? Or what do you do when a new recycling process is now able to handle (imaginary example) aluminum, so it should move from cat 3 to cat 2?
So...you are agreeing with me that this has been upvoted based on origin and not content, and you're just repeating what I said to reinforce the point?
Indeed. The number of votes this has received is an amusing insight into how many people must upvote based on origin and not content. If this were published on some anonymous medium blog, it would be lucky to be +2.
Who is advocating writing tests before specs? I've never heard anyone say TDD involves that. In this article he even defines the term: "TDD is the process of writing automated tests to ensure that code works before writing the implementation."
The free market discriminated against black people in the US very effectively, even after the government attempted to enforce non-discrimination (see redlining).
At that point you're just arguing that capitalism has never existed, so perhaps you should use another term for your "true Scotsman" version to reduce confusion when talking to people who use the common definition.
Serious question, have you really interacted with anyone who pretends that immigration law doesn't exist? Or are you using that as an uncharitable re-phrasing of the more likely attitude that immigration law as it currently exists should not be enforced in all cases? Because the first one isn't a mainstream viewpoint in the US, and the second one is mainstream in many countries.
Why don't these crazy animal people spend their energy trying to get dog kennels to open a restaurant, instead of trying to make the rest of the world put up with their animals?
It's ok to say "it doesn't appear to" but the onus of evidence is always on someone making a positive claim. It's safe to say that children have historically not been sheltered from many things that are today definitively known to cause harm, so the appeal to the past is not a strong one here.
Because Vonnegut made an affirmative claim that this doesn't hurt children, and the comment was challenging that claim. I didn't notice anyone making a claim that it definitely does hurt children.
My boyfriend got his current job when my friend mentioned that her friend had the same degree as him and had mentioned the company was hiring, would he like to be put in touch? The company is about 15 people altogether.
For a start, it's not USD (why on earth would an Australian organization talk about costs in USD?). And of course we know it includes requirements completely unrelated to ALPR, it connects to a bunch of existing databases and systems to do live tagging of stolen vehicles, vehicles owned by people with an active warrant or suspended license, etc.
To even begin to answer your question, you'd need to know what the project included besides the software that OpenALPR could theoretically replace. Like how much hardware has it bought? How much of that money went to paying police officers for time spent developing requirements, testing the prototypes, and learning the eventual system? How much of it went to the research needed to develop this system some five years before openALPR was available? How much went to paying the software developers a normal first world wage and benefits for five+ years?
Then it would be useless to the people who spent the money, because they wouldn't have the cars and cameras and ongoing support and research that they wanted to spend that money on.
The Victorian police system was first running in cars on public roads in 2012. No doubt there are plenty of solutions available today that have been developed since then, but they probably weren't considered at the time. That $86m has covered development of the software and hardware and at least six years of running costs for the program. So yea, I'm sure $86m sounds like a lot when you compare it to some random piece of software that does a small portion of the project.
Have you tried therapy? Because I moved here as a new grad, I know a bunch of others who moved here as new grads to work at Microsoft and Amazon, and almost none of them have ended up entirely shunned by the city. (Exactly one guy I know describes it the way you do, in fact. And I don't hang out with him because he's really prickly and difficult not to offend.)
What is that even supposed to mean? You donated money to immigrants, maybe? Unlike what you imagine other Seattlites do? Also, it's silly to think that you'd have to own a house to be part of the "taking their homes" equation.
