Yes-- it's about 65% English, 28% Spanish.

While I'm not typical, I think there are a good number in a similar position:

I've got a house with a roof approaching it's end of life. I use 4MWh/month. My electricity bill goes between $1.2k and 2.4k. A Solar City roof is about equivalent in long term (20-30 yrs) cost with a much better warranty.

28L was dark apart from the X, and the taxiway was lit (albeit with taxi Lane instead of runway lights). Expecting two lit lanes and approaching the one on the right, they certainly saw something "off" but this wasn't a case of pilots choosing to avoid the only lit lane.

It's just the same data in 3 different forms, right? And the second is pretty misleading, comparing percentages as if they were some part of a whole.

If you're looking to add a checksum, why not use an existing format that does things like variable precision and proximity well like geohash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash) and just tack on a checksum digit?

"ezs42cw4" becomes "ezs42cw4 f3" and my client can generate the checksum for me so I just have to verify, rather than enter the last two digits.

We just made the switch and I'm in agreement-- too noisy to be a serious tool.

But there is an all/here distinction-- just named everyone/channel.

I think the reason this attitude exists is because the barrier of entry for engineering is higher and more concrete than it is for marketing, or sales, or product. Most people can walk into an entry-level marketing job and get things done, at least poorly. The same isn't true for an entry-level engineering job-- it's literally a nonstarter if you've never written code.

The truth is, very high level marketers or sales people or product managers are every bit as rare as very high level engineers. And at some point in your career you realize there's a crapton of expertise in those areas you don't have, but others do. And working with them and even deferring to their judgement in those areas gets you a lot better results than getting to be king of the castle.

Ideally, A's credit is discounted and B can only relieve $7 of their debt to you with the $10 A-note (or whatever you value A's debt at). They can choose to take it, or try to collect their $10. Eventually, as people's value of A's debt goes down, splitting a bill with A makes them take a larger portion of it because of their "default" risk.

In person, A thinks that's bullshit and immediately refuses to pay anything, out of principle. People stop splitting with A unless he has the cash on hand and eventually have to kick him out of the house.

Not saying the app works that way. In fact, that's probably why the app doesn't work that way.

This is an advertisement, not an article.

I think you misunderstood. It sounds like he's keeping his DropBox account active for a while until this blows over, then will actually cut it off.

What does one do when that person has a rank that exceeds correction? (Other than up and leave)

Say a cofounder who is the classic combination of huge ego and low competency. When addressed about being respectful, a typical response is, "but I don't respect them."

Alternatively, it would be an interesting practice if some section of the project got thousands or tens of thousands of commits. I'd be interested to see a case with 100k defendants.

It's an interesting question of how much resources law enforcement should assign to a case like this.

Many fierce proponents of Bitcoins are the anarchy-leaning libertarians. Its appeal is that government agencies can't track and tax it (or have a tougher time with it)

While I do think a crime has occurred, it feels a bit like collecting a benefit you refused to pay into.

Exactly. That seems to support his statement.

why not salt and store the salt with the hash?

Or it was the case, it was the perfectly right thing to do, and he just got unlucky.

If you're renting your first couple places, absolutely not. But at some point you hit a mark where you have a property manager doing all the day-to-day and a few leasing agents filling vacancies and it becomes as passive as you want it to be.

You expect me to go to private industry to find someone to monitor my life? Do you have any idea how much that would cost?

Some things just make sense to do at national scale, even if there are a small minority who don't appreciate the benefits.

I bet you a significant portion of the traffic is now coming over the mobile phone. If 40% of the students preferred that site, I'd bet its enough of an improvement to warrant some small-screen browsing.

A DBA I worked with had a good one-- just asked a question that was the textbook problem a left join solved.

Looks cool. But with just a company name and a job title you're going to connect me to a student? Seems like you'll get a lot of near misses.

Seems like you might be better off getting LinkedIn profiles or something and letting students choose from available open appointments.

It seems a bit odd that they're quoting their Junior class makeup-- makes me think that's the best data point they have, and it exaggerates their success. My understanding is that CS enrollment by gender isn't the issue, it's CS graduation rate.

All good points, but #2 stuck out the biggest for me. It's not just the wording, but the fact that the only reason I'd be interested in dating someone is because they're physically attractive.

It makes this look like Facebook Stalking Pro.

Just changing this stance to, "someone you find interesting" or better, "someone you might want to get to know better"-- leave the reason open-ended, because we all have different things we look for in people. As it stands, I'd never use the site because it sounds like your active userbase is full of people I wouldn't want to date.

This is over the top awesome. Really just a well-executed tool for developing with/against apis. Literally had it up and working in our QA environment in 30 seconds.

I'm interested to see where you go with it.

Evan Miller, I love you.

Peanut allergies can kill a kid pretty quickly. While it is a very small percentage of people who react strongly enough to it, if you've got a kid in the school with a known hypersensitivity, banning is not a bad idea.

Anaphylaxis from food can take a while (up to an hour or two I believe) to set in. When it does, it can cut off an airway, and then you're basically racing against suffocation with an epipen. If the kid's outside at recess or in the bathroom alone or just slow to tell a teacher, you're in a bad situation.

I don't know how much gluten it takes to trigger some of the scarier symptoms of IBD or if any of them are lethal in children. My guess is they're not, just because I haven't heard of gluten bans in schools.

I have nothing to add to the discussion at large, so...

I find the phrase, "I could care less" charming. I'm not sure if it was originally intended as simple sarcasm (or more likely a misspoken phrase) but to me in its form it has a gentle subtlety. A slightly tongue-in-cheek, "typically when discussing the amount I care about a topic, it falls within an average range. However on this particular topic, I care for it so little that I must be explicit that it would actually be possible for me to care less. For a more meaningful topic, such a statement wouldn't be necessary."

I'd be interested in seeing how you go about deciding that "lack of hunger due to overpayment" was the reason for underperformance.

Yup, 100%. I did the same, it was a big botch that I then took 6 months to finally get around to addressing. The IRS sent a few simple letters, and in the end there were no penalties-- I think I paid some ridiculously low interest on the money I owed and payed past the grace period they gave me from when I found out about it.
