If record of that allodial title is destroyed or lost, then you will have a difficult/impossible time proving you own your land.

His father was suffering agony every day because government and its voters decided if anyone in that condition wants to end their life, that the course of action be to put anyone who showed him mercy into a cage or worse.

Also for editing the actual html and other files, I wrote a small console app in c# that uses the FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a htdocs folder, which updates the redis key/values in realtime.

Self-confidence is important when you are trying to accomplish something big, and feeling like someone else is bailing you out undermines that.

Everybody is different, but some people need to know they can bounce back from the hardest circumstances and the only way to do that is to face them head on as they come.

Its good if you have that safety net of friends and family to help out. Not everybody has that, and there is never a guarantee that you always will. This is where one would find comfort in knowing that even then, they can survive.

If you can survive the worst, your personal definition of impossible is redefined.

Bitcoin is a relatively new thing, would not be surprised to start seeing bitcoin insurance for these types of services.

> Is that guy a US citizen ? can he be sued by his clients ?

I think it would depend if his clients have contracts, otherwise its a caveat emptor deal, especially when dealing with bitcoin.

If you have only 20 different tweets, its easy for them to look like a typical bot to automated filters. Even if you are posting them slowly, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume one flag would be a ratio of similar tweets.

The response criteria could be another thing raises a flag. It wouldn't be difficult for a filter to recognize someone only replying to specific key phrases.

He also suggests they were spending $60/day on weed.. wouldn't that be at least $1200/month? He had few enough clients that he never saw the same first name twice, so his clients were probably earning more than he did.

As easy as it is for him to judge the pill clients, he could have made an effort to think of reasons why his wealthy clients were hooked. People get addicted to opiates all the time, and its not always drug dealer delivery guys who introduce them to narcotics.. sometimes its a doctor.

2) I started when I was 8 or 9 years old.

3) I started doing freelance on and off when I was 21, and eventually started making more than my part time job. It took about 2 years though before I went full time. I tried to go full time twice but would have to go back to part time work due to both motivation and client issues.

To me it boils down to whether the information could be useful or if the person sending the emails is running a spray and pray type of campaign. If you have built a useful product that could make a business more productive, you shouldn't be shunned for letting people know about it, especially if they have published their email address and gave an impression that they were interested in hearing about it.

The same politicians banning people from using the only shelter they have left are the same politicians who prevent the same people from running their own businesses by raising the barrier to entry artificially. Want to sell grilled cheese sandwiches? Not in this politicians backyard (without business license and permit that is).

They don't already do this when they charge you? If they had to pay their servers more, wouldn't they need to charge more to make up for the difference?

Tipping does not incentivize hard work.

Maybe not when tips are pooled they don't. They sure incentivized me to work hard, and to develop a pleasing personality. I had a seriously teenager attitude problem when I was younger and working at grocery stores and whatnot, and had the classic "us vs. them" mentality when it came to customers. When I started delivering pizzas that changed. The harder I worked, the more personable I was, the more money I would bring in each night in tips. Not immediately, but imagine the surprise when you see someone actually requested you by name to deliver their food just because they felt that their food arrived faster when you did it, and enjoyed the short interaction enough.

The factors that correlate most strongly to tip size have virtually nothing to do with the quality of service. Credit card tips are larger than cash tips. Large parties with sizable bills leave disproportionately small tips. We tip servers more if they tell us their names, touch us on the arm, or draw smiley faces on our checks. Quality of service has a laughably small impact on tip size.

I would assume a server who takes care to do all those things is also taking care to provide a quality service. So in one side of the authors mouth they are saying that servers who go the extra mile get extra tips, and on the other side, they say servers who go the extra mile don't? Which is it?

Racism racism studies say this ethnic group tips less racism racism...

My personal experience was different classes of people tipped differently. Ironically, bigger houses typically tipped less. Drunk people either didn't tip at all, or in some cases, would tip multiple times, making up the difference for the non-tipping inebriated and then some. College students we're terrible tippers too. Doctors were probably the worst tippers of all. Ethnic group has little to do with it, but why let that get in the way of an opportunity to race bait?

IMO tipping is the best opportunity for someone in high school or college. It's one of the few options you have where you can get real-time feedback on the quality of your service. It's one of the few options where you can make beyond the minimum wage. If it weren't for overtime pay laws, it would be one of the only options someone had to get themselves out of a financial jam. I recall one week where I had put in too many hours, I was only focused on bringing home tips so that I could fix my car, but after 40 hours I was forced to go home. Imagine how frustrating it is to be killing it on a weekend and having to stop abruptly because the employer would have been legally obligated to pay you time and a half whether you wanted it or not.

Working for tips was a good experience for me and it was actually a natural stepping stone to eventually working freelance full time. When you experience the correlation of hard work to income, the transition is smoother than going from "paid no matter how hard you work" to not getting paid if you slack.

I don't intend to spend this short time worrying if someone else would approve of my choices.

I am more than capable of making my own decisions without harming myself and others, to hell with anyone who believes I don't deserve to do so.

Looks like all it would take is a tiny speaker, a thin metal plate, and something that reads that metal plate like a QR code. The tone could then be randomized by a psuedo-random number generator, and even though the shapes generated are similar, they are never quite identical.

That's the real story to you?

An entity that prints its own money (and uses it to spy on everyone), paying too much for contractors?

Machine learning is just a fad.

Difficult to take the article seriously after that.

Obviously fico scores are far from perfect, but one particularly interesting parameter would be history. An interaction or vote would lose weight as it ages, making it essential for you to maintain a good rating.

This would also make it tougher on people who want to manipulate such a system because creating dozens of accounts to vote for yourself would be very difficult. The fake accounts themselves have no history, making their votes worth nothing.
