The cards are for rewards like free rooms and meals. I used to make enough playing positive expectation video poker to pay for my flights and as many trips as I wanted as long as I played 8 hours a day. I got many free rooms and meals as comps using cards with a girl I'd take with me. Sadly too many people figured out how to play positive expectation and make money and the paytables have changed to where it's not as easy as it was 15 years ago.
> At least not without doing like the Ancient Romans.

That's actually an urban legend based on a mistranslation. The term "vomitorium" just means "exit corridor"; a room which "vomits" people out into the street. They did not have dedicated barfing rooms in their homes, nor was barfing a routine part of their lives.
I just started using MSG at home are you saying it will eventually stop making everything taste better?
Odd, in that worker's comp sets a ceiling on damages, which many companies prefer. In major workplace injury cases you often see the company arguing that it's a worker's comp injury and the employee arguing that it's not.

The limits on damages under worker's comp are notoriously low -- for example, in most states a loss of a finger is a fixed payment of 16 weeks wages. Most juries would award much higher.

Plaintiffs lawyers (who normally take 33% of settlements) hate worker's comp because there's no lawsuit -- it's just a paperwork filing with no evidence required other than that the injury happened at work. It doesn't matter who is at fault, how the equipment was designed, etc.

This feels like there's another agenda at play that's not well explained in TFA. It sounds like a bit of a bootleggers and baptists coalition if plaintiffs' attorneys and companies are both in favor of something.
Funding artists, musicians and businesses, especially in underserved communities is absolutely the best way to reduce poverty.

Get internet service from cable provider with basic cable plus HBO for less than the advertised price of the internet service alone. Have to call back every year to get the promotional price back, which sucks. But we almost never watch the cable channels. Local channels in HD with a couple low-end antennas in the attic. And tend to watch HBO GO on a Roku, where we also have Netflix, Prime, etc.

As others have said, would like to have a better antenna setup with DVR that does not require subscription. Need a community-driven site where people can put in the type of antenna they have and what channels they get for more precise location-specific antenna recommendations.

He's literally using fried chicken as an extremely thinly veiled way of measuring the number of black people in an area.

This is a good article on why "fried chicken" when paired with other things can be racist. [1] Since "up and coming" is basically code for gentrifying, it shouldn't be that hard to see why this is actually racist.

We've known fuel cells are a terrible tech for cars for a while.

"Where does hydrogen sit in this equation? Currently, filling up hydrogen costs $12/kg at the moment in California. This is roughly in line with the actual cost of hydrogen - a bit on the low side if you want to commercially exploit one of those expensive filling stations, but we can safely assume that if hydrogen were ubiquitous, the price is roughly in this order. This will get you about 60 miles, so your cost is about $0.20/mi. An electric car costs about $0.06/kWh to fill up, and drives 4-6 miles on that charge. That's about a cent per mile. Yes. A 20-to-1 difference in running costs. This isn't percents change, this is orders of magnitude."

Voting, by design, won't change something the majority of people want to keep happening: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/poll-support-drone-str... ("Fifty-eight percent of respondents expressed approval of U.S. drone strikes, while only 35 percent disapproved. This included nearly three-fourths of Republicans, slightly more than half of Democrats and 56 percent of independents.").

"Insiders" and "corporate juggernauts" are a red herring. The problem isn't them--it's your family and friends and coworkers. The problem is the people you walk past on the street every day, your kids' teachers, maybe even the guy at the grocery store register. The problem is us and our moral justifications for these sorts of interventions abroad.

NB: I don't support drone strikes.
It's obviously not optional in the long run.

At some point Microsoft will force an upgrade on every Windows machine they can. You'll just wake up one day and be using Windows 10 whether you like it or not.
It is unused outside of the UK and Ireland where it is still the most commonly used unit for measuring the weight of a person.
Simply put, this is not OK.

Microsoft has no idea what your situation is. They cannot possibly predict what the effect of the upgrade will be, no matter how good a job they think they did with Windows 10.

What if you depend on some program to do your job and the "upgrade" messes it up irreversibly? What if you're a student with a project due in two weeks and suddenly you're unable to open something after the "upgrade"? What if you're in some kind of managed environment that doesn't expect the "upgrade", that is then utterly confused afterwards (perhaps even trying to downgrade your software again)? I'm sure these aren't the only scenarios that could see big problems.

If they're so desperate to make people upgrade, they should at least have had the decency to pull an Apple and ship an entire compatibility-VM with their new OS (like Mac OS X 10.0 did) to minimize the chance of a problem.

Some Examples of Chip and Pin Fraud [video]
No one's money was frozen.

If you had money on "NETELLER" or "Moneybookers" (Skrill), they forced you to cash out and that was it. Party Poker also stopped offering play to US citizens, but they too also sent you a check. If you were on Full Tilt or Pokerstars, you could continue to play (assuming you weren't too shellshocked from the news).

Agree with the rest of what you said though.
Blame shifting works both way: some people don't take any responsibility while they should, and some other promptly gives full responsibility to victims.

There's always a payoff to one's view of the world, whatever it is.
Define "keep." This much money does him no good sitting in a bank account. I'm sure he intends to invest it. One option would be to cash out, take a huge tax hit (in CA) and then reinvest. That is pretty foolish if you have this kind of money. The better option is to form a company. Even better, form a non-profit. Sign over the stock to the non profit. The non-profit then re-invests the money. Make yourself an employee. Set your own salary and make yourself the CEO. Now he has reinvested the money and hasn't taken any tax hit EXCEPT on his income (which would have been taxed regardless of what he did). The other billions he has are sitting there earning interest tax free until he decides to take some out.

On that taking some out bit... So, as the CEO of this non-profit, he could have the company buy a jet, build an office, schedule company retreats, etc... All of this would be tax free.

I could go on, but I think that the point is clear. Non-profits are an EXCELLENT way to avoid tax hits in this sort of scenario. It's a numbers game. Once your net worth has a B at the end of it, forming an entirely new business just to avoid taxes becomes a much more sensible solution.
The neighborhoods gentrying in Chicago right now aren't Black > White. They're Latino/Mixed > White/Mixed. There's no friend chicken places to go out of business. If anything craft friend chicken is popular now and entering the gentrified neighborhoods.

I think you are drawing a distinction between games where the odds are constant and built into the game, (eg roulette), and games where there is a degree of skill involved but still an element of chance, eg. sports betting where a person with extraordinary insight or privileged information will win more often in the long run than a person who just bets on their favorite team every Sunday.
Arguably stock trading and poker fall into this same category.

For some people though this is just plain betting. They don't have a strategy or an angle, they just believe they might get lucky and for these people this form of behavior equates games with skill to rote gambling.

Web Design Using Sketch, Flexbox, and JQuery
After not finding a good set of tutes on how to web prototype (mockup, design, and develop) from the Intertubes, I just decided to write my own. I cover web prototyping in a tight, very straight forward way. I use a marker on a whiteboard to mockup the design. I use Sketch 3 to design the mockup and get CSS styles. I then use HTML5, some CSS3, a pinch of Flexbox, and a dash of JQuery to build the web page prototype. I wanted it to be short, so it's 133 pages long. Imho, we don't need another 400-pager on web design at this point. This is a good ebook for webdevs, design geeks, e-marketing freaks, club kids, meth users, and anyone else hacking the web to pay the mortgage.

FTC Complaints for Yelp (2012)
It's a pretty safe bet that everyone here - a forum called "hacker news" which discusses, among other things, the several aspects of online security - is already on a watch list. The idea is to not promote yourself even further in their attention.
And only in the US would this be immediately acted upon as such. And that's because we all have to pretend there's no cultural link between anything and anything else.

For we must treat all Americans as ideal beige spherical cows (Oh $h!+ did I just fat shame? Don't sue me! Don't sue me!). So even if a correlation is real, you're just flat out not allowed to say so, right?

No. Your point is ill-informed, banal, and frankly, just plain offensive. You're incredibly ignorant and I hope you don't interact with anyone who suffers from depression because blaming people with a disease for suffering from that disease because of a personal moral failing is disgusting. You're gross. The things you say are gross. Stop saying them.
>Military Aged Males are considered enemy combatants. Effectively that means all males ages 18-49 are considered enemy combatants. Since you're guilty by association, your age makes you a target.

You are conflating what the US considers enemies before targeting and after a strike. The US doesn't just bomb any random male 18-49.

But when the US does target what it thinks is a legitimate target, it counts any unknown males killed in the strike as enemy. It doesn't use that assumption to do the strike. Only to count the enemy v. civilian kill total.

And it's a pretty reasonable assumption, depending on the circumstance. If the US drone strikes a Taliban hide out, the unknown males there were very likely foot-soldiers of the Taliban. If you accidentally blow up a wedding, then counting all the men is essentially lying.

But your sex and age don't make you a target. You being near a target doesn't really make you a target either. It makes you a tragic accident.

Unless the Taliban want to line up like 18th century foot soldiers, there are going to be people killed who aren't involved. Sending in ground troops would only make it worse.

And it's not like the Taliban aren't a real threat to Afghanistan. They just took over the 5th largest city in Afghanistan two weeks ago.
It looks like funding all those sock puppets with coin would cost lots of money.

From the slides:

Sending 10 points to someone would require 10 addresses
with at least 2 points each. Creating 10 addresses with
2 points each would require 10 transactions of 4 points
each, meaning 40 points.

Those 10 addresses require the same funding amount whether from sock puppet accounts or from one account.

Perhaps it's not exponential though.
So it just missing a term then? Add in rising prices and call it a day?

You are changing the topic. You said that patent infringement over decades has had no effects. Quoting:

"China and India have been infringing on US patents for 4 decades now and nothing has happened yet."

I just want to know how you came to that conclusion.

The problem with your atatement is that it requires access to data that may not be public. If I had not had IP stolen by a Chinese company I would not have some of the insights I gained during that experience. Mine isn't the only company that has had these kinds of issues. During my ordeal I got to meet other business owners affected by Chinese IP theft. Why? Because we got the State Department involved and that was the conduit through which I met others.

Unless you've had access at that level it would be hard for you to understand the subject. In our case the IP theft probably cost us $30 million dollars in R&D, over a hundred million dollars in lost sales and hundreds of very high paying jobs.

No, IP theft is a very serious problem.
Yeah, I do get your point, I think though that the value of currency is more to do with trusting the backers/issuers of the money, rather than any direct relation to counterfeiting. If counterfeiting becomes too rife, then that will start to damage the trust of the money issuers. The relationship is complicated though.

The UK £1 counterfeit rate is almost unbelievably high, but the key point is that individuals aren't really affected by it. The coins are all 'good enough' that you are unlikely to ever have any rejected by a shop, so the end result is no-one cares about it. (Incidentally, it's actually harmful to check your own cash for counterfeits, since spending counterfeit money is a crime, but ignorance is an accepted defence.)

(I don't know where the buck stops. Do banks check for counterfeit coins and reject them from shop's cash deposits? I'm absolutely not trying to say that counterfeiting coins is a victimless crime, just wondering whether everyone shares the cost or whether it eventually catches up with one unlucky party)
