Actually, Google offers a way bigger refund window. 2 hours is just the "no hassle" refund that the user can ask for by just tapping the 'refund' button in the app page. After this s/he can always (in theory) email the developer and ask for a refund since the dev can always issue a refund from the Payments Merchant Center [1]. It's essentially left up to the developer to create its own refund policy after the mandatory 2 hours. In my case, the request it's very unusual so I always issue one when asked (users have never taken more than a day to ask for one). Assuming the buyer knows this, what would be considered a reasonable time frame after which this kind of requests can be denied?

My daughter had an ear wax build up. The doctor said that I should put a few drops of olive oil in her ear, or alternatively use an over-the-counter oily type of ear wax removal solution (not sure of brand name). I went to pharmacy and checked the ingredient list of the ear wax removal solution: olive oil!

Note: This happened in Poland, about three months ago.

Years back, I was standing near my wall mount heater on a cold morning, and the heat was running up my back, around my neck and ears. A minute later my ear wax completely melted and dripped out of my ears.

I concede that it's hard to stay positive, but I think SA will bounce back. Sometimes a hard fall gives you a reality check.

The article mentions that many people have left SA, but just as many stay. SA offers an amazing quality of life : I'm writing this from my office looking out across the Stellenbosch mountains. Later today I'll drive home through the countryside and spend the evening with my family. This weekend I may choose to go running at a wine-farm (for free), or take a short drive to Melkbos beach. This lifestyle is available to anyone with an "average" job.

I'm not denying that we have our problems, but we do have a lot going for us as well. My hope is that good will triumph over evil.
The answer is that Pluto isn't some sort of classification issue.

The proper answer is that Pluto is a planet because of historical reasons (by fiat). By definition, it is a planet, and the asteroids in the asteroid belt are simply asteroids.

From then on, you can apply the rules of a "planet" later on to other bodies, like this one.

The newscientific's article has more information. But I think the documented case of eating chimps children is from another place.

And this is the revision that did that remove the rape part: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gombe_Chimpanzee_...

The comment is:

> The war: Second paragraph. Chimps were not raped. No where does this reference occur in Goodall's articles or any other Gombe researcher. The source seems to be the Morris reference. I don't know where they got that.
Historically, a very interesting use of poison. It seems obvious that the Russians didn't want this to be a huge mystery -- and probably wanted him to have a painful death (which he did).

If I remember correctly, there was a chair in the embassy that had this stuff on it. Nobody could sit on the chair for fear of death. I might be mistaken, though.

Also historically, I am reminded of Putin meeting one of the superbowl champs. During the meeting, he takes the guy's superbowl ring!

"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said, the New York Post reported last week.

"I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

The point is this: the new Russia lacks a lot of the subtlety of the old one. Aside from anything else, I think that might be a good thing, but I'm not sure. They're definitely more interesting.

I don't like that Patreon has "won" the recurring support market but I like the model very much.

I'm pretty sure though that Switzerland spends - relatively speaking - much more on public transportation than the US (if I looked it up correctly it's about 8.7% for CH and 1.2% for the US on the federal budget). After all the terrain is more demanding (alps, etc.) and the density of the network is much higher.

"Why act like pointing out an obvious motive is the focus or even a main point of the report?" Because this motive is quoted in articles to link this crime to Putin. I certainly don't care about Lugovoi, Kovtun, their motives, was it even a crime and not an accident, involvement of the British secret services etc. etc. Britain should have known better when it welcomed all the dirty money from Russia...
Yep. Socializing plays an enormous part in that; more over, finding friends who accept you as you are. Still, there will be hard times.
The real issue here is how the LF has stopped funding Conservancy and how VMWare is (or was?) a big member of the LF. This conflict of interest has resulted in the LF pulling funding for Software Conservancy. VMWare and others have thus twisted the LF into allowing GPL violations.

I've just been looking at your github repository, you mention you use the HV7360 chip to generate the ultrasound pulse.

I'm slightly confused by the datasheet for this chip, am I right in thinking you supply +/- 100V to this chip? If so, what are you using to generate that voltage out of curiosity?

(I have a ~2MHz ultrasound transducer which I keep meaning to play with, to attempt to measure liquid density, so your project is very interesting to me!)
Will the site redirect to AD network? If so, it is still easily blockable. AdBlocker can preload suspicious links and if they redirect to siteOfAdNetwork.com block them.

The only option I see here is to have some kind of click counter both on the web-master's (who monetizes) and client's (who advertises) web-sites. And the counters' numbers will be sent (using server-side) to the AD Network. But that doesn't work if the client wants to advertise not his/her web-side (where AD network's script can be installed) but Facebook profile or something like that.

Alternatively, AD network can charge not for number of clicks but for alternative parameters (e.g., number of days AD is published). Though, still not easy (no guarantees) to check whether web-master who's monetizing his/her web-site doesn't cheat.

Raspberry PI and Arduiono's changed a lot in embedded space, because of price and flexibility, how this board can change its space? How much does it cost to build complete solution using this project?

> leave out the fact that he belongs to the far right Liberal Democratic Party and is not a member of Putin's United Russia

With all seriousness, there is no real difference between those. The parties are not opposing each other (except for minor agendas) and differences are primarily cosmetic. Opposing parties (if they manage to get built - opposition is full of issues, too) are practically barred from registering and entering the elections.

Not to say LDPR isn't holding any liberal or democratic values (but that's irrelevant).

> [...] would you automatically assume that Obama ordered the attack

Given that Snowden isn't some small fry, it's reasonable to assume that such things would be at least acknowledged by the higher-ups the chain of command. So, it would be reasonable to assume that there is a good chance of this. Not ordering - the initiative could be someone else's, but acknowledging.

This looks really interesting, source-navigator has not been actively developed for years, source-insighter is windows-only, eclipse etc is just too heavy for code navigator.

however the 0.1 release is done on 2013.5.6 and that is it, not much development was done since then. Also the 'apt-get' list for compiling simply failed (could not find those packages) on debian 8.

while I really like a light-weight source code navigator,this one needs lots of work it seems.

That's always been the point of the expression, from my understanding. Nothing the size of your elbow will fit into your ear (without seriously screwing up your day). So if you are only allowed to stick things that size or larger in, then nothing should go in your ear (canal).
>Putin is not an idiot and wouldn't leave a trail to him after ordering someone killed on British soil.

Perhaps but that's not evidence.

>There is no doubt about Lugovoy or Kovtun's involvement, but directly or indirectly Putin is responsible for his agents running around poisoning people with plutonium.

That's not evidence either. Besides, they were ex-KGB / FSB agents.

>The fact they are refusing to extradite them is telling as well.

Let's reverse this. Would Obama agree to extradite a Republican ex-CIA agent with powerful friends who flew to Moscow and killed Edward Snowden without his knowledge?

Can you imagine what the political fallout would be if he did? He'd be characterized as a mixture of powerless, hypocritical, traitorous and anti-American all at once by both friends and enemies. Political suicide at worst; own goal at best.
Maybe it's because spends a huge amount on military instead?

I never entirely did. Initially it was episodic on either or both sides, coincidental with heavy discoloured buildup; I eventually came to believe that it may have been due aspergillum exposure. These days it's generally less prevalent, but I use a curette when I have to, purely to relieve symptoms - nothing odd about the discharge. I've developed eczema elsewhere in the meantime, so perhaps its related.

I know that there are steroidal eardrops, available for ocular eczema. Additionally some sort of syringe method might be safer/preferable, I would recommend trying that first to stay as far back from the scratch/itch cycle if possible... I can attest to its existence.

My ~2 years old son was diagnosed with autism last October. Looks like it is on the good side of the spectrum, but it almost ruined my marriage - my wife didn't take it well, and we probably lost precious months arguing about his symptoms.

The earlier you are diagnosed the better, so if you are suspicious, just go see a good specialist. Your family may try to talk you down: "he is just very introvert". Go se an expert neurologist anyway.

In my personal experience neurologists are better at this than psychiatrists. Most shrinks asked to see me and my wife alone on the first session, these are the wrong doctors: do not waste time with anyone that refuses to see the child on the first session. Do not waste time with anyone that is not specialized in autism. Specialists may be expensive but they are worth.
If you are building large scale systems, the amount of time spent writing and testing actual code, rather than collecting requirements, designing the solution etc. is typically small.

Imatix also specialise in code-generation. One of their earliest open source releases was Libero - a code generator to generate state machines. The point being that they have spent a couple of decades on solutions based around minimising the sloc, and while a lot their output is in C, a large part of the code they write is not C, but code generators and input to code generators.

In terms of their techniques, a both the code generation and many of the other techniques they advocate are about reducing and isolating risk: Generate code so that you DRY things up and can focus on testin a smaller code base; split code into modules separated by process boundaries and message-passing, giving you smaller modules to test, boundaries across which you can add high availability (distribute message across multiple instances) or handle failures by queueing and so on.

And as much as I love "scripting languages" - almost all my code is Ruby these days - there are many areas still where C is necessary for performance. The approach advocated in this book fits neatly with that: Nothing stops you from interoperating with any language you want - the message passing creates nice boundaries to isolate components in whatever mix of languages you want.

But also keep in mind that they've been doing this for more than two decades. They have amassed a lot of tools and a lot of experience in doing C fast and right. It might very well be that the economic case for/against C or other languages would look very different to them if they were to start today without that experience.

That said: It also isn't all about economy. I regularly reject job offers because it's not what I want to do. If we all made all our decisions based on time being money, most of us would be in different jobs.
