just a question: was Solaris making any money? If not, then it should be shelved.

when floods wreck cars, 'refurbished' cars seem to magically show up in used car lots far away. Especially those from fleets in car dealerships that have a distribution channel. https://www.autotrader.com/car-news/beware-of-flood-damaged-...

sounds like US Army in 1975.

add another Australian monster to the list

all the negative publicity for Goop probably helps them by getting the name out. 'Any publicity is good publicity'.

sounds like basic economics

I used -std=c++14

gcc warning: ISO C++ forbids zero-size array ‘payload’ [-Wpedantic]

clang warning: flexible array members are a C99 feature [-Wc99-extensions]

is this still the case?

it would be nice for those supporting single payer to first describe exactly how the funding would work. Instead of trying to hide it under a mismash of taxes, like Obamacare, just come out and say (for example), there will be a X% tax added to FICA, where the employee will pay 1/2 and employer pay 1/2. Or a VAT tax. Or whatever. Just come out and say what it will cost instead and how it will be funded. Instead its always about the benefits while avoiding any mention of new tax.

just be honest about it.

the article is wrong. Nevada ID is not required. Only proof of being 21 or older.

for those who object to the compromise, how much should mcmansion-hell and the EFF have been willing to spend to fight? It would be many thousands of $$$

so true. that exact situation happens where i work. One department's managers prefer flailers who work long hours fixing their mistakes over folks who deliver a working product with little drama. I observe that the latter example is interpreted as 'obviously it was easy'.

surely one of the reasons is that very very few PC's came with fireware. so the customer base was limited.

One consideration is that is easier to get another job when you are still employed. So you have to weigh that against the other factors.

I know it would be tough for senior citizens to move but there are lots of places in the US where you can rent a nice apt in a decent neighborhood. for quite a bit less than $1000. One bedrooms < $500. Maybe instead of trying to somehow conjure up lower rent housing in LA, set up a program to help people on fixed incomes relocate elsewhere. This would go for folks who work minimum wage too.

The US has minimum security prisons also and just like this one, you have to qualify one way or the other.

I understand why Google gives Chrome for free, to bring people into their sphere of influence. But what does Mozilla get for giving out Firefox? Is it monetized somehow? Or is it just to win an imaginary distinction.

"Justification 2: 'Pasting passwords makes them easier to forget, because you have fewer chances to practise them'."

if you can remember your password, its probably too weak

a table in the article implies that $300,000 nest egg makes you rich. Lol. that's not rich. that's marginal retirement.

for one thing, we Americans demand instant service even for the more expensive things. For example, I live in a small-ish town, and yet there are 3 clinics with an MRI machine within 15 minutes of where i live. If I needed one, I would be on the slab in the amount of time it took me to drive there and fill out the paperwork. Maybe an hour or two if someone was there ahead of me. I would never have to wait a day or more. I don't have the stats on other countries, but I bet most are not like that.

And that shit is expensive. The way medical competition works in the US is that prices go up when there is more competition because the competing clinics need to keep purchasing the latest technology to keep up. As long as insurance covers the alternatives, we go to the best and most expensive.

In the US we have WAY too much health care.

How much should one spend to report this? Even the first consultation with that type of lawyer would be a few hundred $. If the threat is that real, why not just close the account and go somewhere else.

Helicopters can autorotate, planes can glide. like the Moeller contraption, this type of thing falls. I would insist on a ballistic parachute.

you are comparing US regional airlines to an international airline. apples to oranges

how many of them have crashed in the last 10 years? 20 years? Ever?

Republic has never had a fatal crash. American Eagle has had 2 in the last 20 years. none in the last 10. after 11 million flights.

incredibly good teacher. In the same class as robert sedgewick at princeton.

she lost me when she criticized his shirt, pants and tie as if that made him a lesser being.

if the worst drought in 1/2 a century occurred in 2012, then why is that a trend upward if a worse one was in 1962?

and it was an epic fail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_computer#Fail...

A primary problem was the choice of concurrent logic programming as the bridge between the parallel computer architecture and the use of logic as a knowledge representation and problem solving language for AI applications.

not allowed in Nevada. odds on a slot machine can be changed but

State law allows them to change the odds after a machine has been idle for four minutes, and then they must not allow anyone to play the machine for four more minutes. During that time, the screen must indicate a change is being made to the game's configuration, said Travis Foley, laboratory manager for the technology division of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, who is overseeing the Treasure Island test.
