Not trying to tell you how to live your life, but being an open book to the other isn‘t very trusting. If your trust is build around being able to spy on the other, maybe you aren‘t trusting each other that much. My wife and I both have our own separate phones and computers without each other being able to access it and I trust her not to do anything that goes against our interests and vice versa. That‘s what trust is, not having to know what the other does and knowing they are doing the right thing.
Right, they could have made the choice to let their strategic naval base in Crimea fall under the sphere of NATO, despite the obvious problems with that
I don't. I don't see organized labor being any more corrupt or bad than corporate management. So why is it ok for corporate leadership to do these things, but not labor?
It's ok

I don't mean to pile on but I'd be interested as a lawyer dabbling in tech. In the last two years I co-founded startup with a patent pending legal pricing software called Statutory Litigation Automated Pricing, S.L.A.P. (acquired) and this past year I built a prototype "self-serve legal kiosk" and kiosk software Demoed at Walmart HQ for use in their stores with The Law Store (thelawstore.com)

I don't think that makes me an engineer but I am handy at applying existing technologies to the legal field to improve efficency.
People talk about PUBG delivering in this regard recently, and it's seeing huge success. I can see how they feel this way, but as an old Eve player it doesn't come close :(
Or, say, be a member of the Tesla auto-fleet. It's not like this thing is going to open next year, so transit issues should be considered for a few years from now at least. Also, people still fly those routes, so why not hyperloop instead?
This article has nothing to do with the iPhone X, aside from the title. Nice click-bait Chicago Tribune.
ACA was shoehorned through without bi-partisan support. It's currently unsustainable from a cost perspective and was widely predicted to be upon passage. Having good intentions does not excuse you from the consequences of your actions. For something as fundamental to our country as healthcare, having a wide buy-in and costs that won't collapse under its own weight is crucial for cost and legislative sustainability.
GL man!

Lots of task trackers out there. I'd focus on finding 1 major differentiating feature next.
heck - just needed to read one more paragraph down:

Rich people gain from research, new drugs, new equipment and new procedures. If the system spends more on poor people and common illnesses, it'll spend less on the things that benefit rich people.

Billionaires from around the globe fly to the Mayo Clinic in the USA. Why seek medical care in the USA? It spends more on the things that are good for the rich.
You are right, I do have many domains and didn't bother to check it.
I'm sure it's not! But even so it's interesting to be caught between these two antipodes. As your probably know there's another group of people, Andrej Bauer among them, who provide a different antithesis to "I don't want to have to understand category theory to use Haskell!" by exclaiming "Haskell doesn't use real category theory!".

It's just generally quite amusing to be caught in the middle of all this.
And companies have zero interest in helping any individual worker succeed, or letting them share in the company's success.
I know it won't happen, but Chicago - Columbus - Pittsburgh looks like a really good route, and those areas are starving for economic development. You're linking two big time transportation hubs, and Pittsburgh. You're linking UoC, Northwestern, Ohio State, CMU, and all of the medical institutions in those three cities. On top of that, you're linking like 10 million people. Idk. It would be good for the area and I feel like those states are more willing to play ball (hence no East/West coast).
As others have pointed out, asteroid mining does very little to Earth. In a large scale it's only for use in space.

Most rare-earth minerals are not really that rare. Mining them on earth will be more cost effective. If we need larger quantities than can be found on surface deep sea mining is still more cost effective than asteroid mining.
Sorry, but that is exactly my experience. Over and over. Arch breaking every couple of weeks in a time consuming way. Maybe your setup is so minimal that you aren't affected? For me it was "oh my, what's broken now again?". This really hurts, if you're a freelancer and time is your own money and not your employer's.
This callow fuck-you-gots-mine attitude is appalling.

This is coming. Chrome is implementing a built in ad blocker.

> Also, the community if determined to provide a Free As In Freedom experience on desktop. Hopefully they can do it on phones as well. Their agenda is only software freedom and privacy.

This is contrary to the things that KDE-associated projects have traditionally valued. Software freedom has always been associated with GNU and GTK/Gnome. The philosophy behind Qt/KDE has always been that things can be considered free enough. The KDE community's willingness to tolerate a dubious licensing situation for Qt is the only reason that Gnome even exists.

I can't recommend Thule enough. 5 Years later and my backpack still have a "new one" colors and feel. The only issue so far is the clip of the zipper which pretty much all of them broke but they are easily and cheaply replaceable.

It has absolutely nothing defected in its texture. But I should note that I'm particularly careful person.
Turre Legal in Finland is doing something similar. Albeit, not sure if their aim is to help other lawyers, just their own clients.
well, you probably also make a lot more than in your home country ;) So that seems to be the game we're all in...
A certain amount of customization is cheap, easily supported, and makes customers very happy. A little more customization is very expensive and doesn't make customers much happier (quickly diminishing returns).
I had a SwissGear backpack that lasted me about 9 years (or thereabouts). I recently needed to replace it; looking for an everyday pack myself. I didn't want to get the same type of backpack because that type of SwissGear backpack normally goes for about $70 (I originally got it in a 50% off sale, so was worth it at $35!)...But this time I got the following military type of backpack (got it about 2 months ago): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VV1Y1W/ref=oh_aui_deta...

I am quite abusive with my packs, and tend to hold onto them well beyond what most others might consider the expected lifecycle. And, because i don't often replace my packs, I am very choosey in what i end up going with. But, so far, this orca backpack that i bought recently is holding up fairly well. Because it has the MOLLE webbing/strips, I can expand it by buying add-on components (like small packs/kits, like water bottle holder, etc.), and strapping them on the pack itself. This is the first military type of pack that I've gotten because I find the more devices i need to carry, and the more durable that i need a pack to be, the more expensive the options are for non-military (civilian) style of backpacks (like my old SwissGear) pack. I don't know, maybe you can find an inexpensive non-military backpack for every day use...but nowadays, it seems like (some) military packs are being designed with civilian use-cases (like carrying numerous electronic devices) in mind. You might want to consider looking at such packs. Good luck!!
Agreed with this. I had no credit except a credit card until I was 30 and bought my first new car. All my other cars were family cars or bought from relatives. I worked during school so no loans either.

I'm curious to see what happens when I buy my first house. There was a huge chance I wouldn't have even needed the car loan but life happens.
Yeah, the Midwest's culture was irreparably damaged by the large numbers of Germans and Scandinavians who moved there all at once.
And it looks compact and stylish.
I actually love forcing people into a fairly consistent coding style, but everything else about the language irks me compared to my previous extensive use of Perl (on a large enterprise software product).

One particularly big thing, that it doesn't have much of a distinct compilation phase. You'll write some script you want to run to do some one-off task that will take the next hour, only to find it crashed after 20 minutes when it hits some boneheaded syntax error you made.
Also I was wondering what the effect of plain old mirrors on people's roofs would be. The point being to reflect the sunlight of course.

The sun can hit the roof all day and it will not heat a normal house...so many layers in between and the heat will not reach below.

IMO it's just a matter of time before we use the sun to offset its effects on homes and offices. A super sunny day gives us a lot of power we could use to cool what the sun is heating. They coincide perfectly for a lot of hours.
> This is not even to mention the topics of Black.Holes.In.Your.Code because you can't tell what types the functions receive.

Use aptly named parameters, always, add assert() statements for type checking whenever you feel mistakes could happen.

I can bet, based on my experience, that it's much "safer" (less error-prone) to use a language that allows calling functions with named parameters (where the order of parameters doesn't matter and you know exactly which parameter are you sending a value into), than a language like C++ or Java which has a static typing system but has no named parameteres, plus depends on argument order to call a function.

You should try using Python in this way.

The earth already emits massive amounts of energy back into space. Nearly all the energy received from the sun is reemitted back into space, if this didn't happen the earth would quickly burn up. Adding reflectors won't make a huge difference as this energy would go back into space anyway.

There is a project for high speed rail between Dallas and Houston being worked on, though it's not guaranteed to proceed.

If it did, I assume that would take the wind out of a hyperloop proposal. The train is supposed to take 90 minutes, so there wouldn't be much pressure to improve that, I would guess.
I imagine the blue bottle customer base is made up of the type of people who would boycott over something like this.

I use a Dakine backpack I got from REI during some sale. It's not my first Dakine bag. I don't think I've ever worn one out, and they're not very expensive.

I have a Lowe Pro that I keep meaning to get fixed (zipper broke). It has a pocket on the bottom for a SLR camera. You can easily fit two laptops, the camera, and all your cables in it.
It sounds like it put her at risk of losing her visa, not at risk of being deported. If she lost her visa, and then made the decision to break our laws by staying, only then would she be at any risk of being deported.

Saying she was at risk of being deported makes it sound like she was already here illegally.
LEgal change shouldn't be based off specific cases, but under title 8 the attorney-general and his designates has very broad discretion to intervene in individual cases, partly because of the difficulty of crafting one-size-fits-all solutions.

Incidentally, when you hear immigration hardlines talking about how DACA was unconstitutional, I suggest you take that with a big pinch of salt. The previous administration essentially systematized the same criteria they were using for prioritizing individual enforcement decisions and while this was the administrative equivalent of a giant band-aid on an annoying political problem, I don't think there was any legal barrier to their doing so as it did not create any ew powers or positions in the executive branch that would have required congressional approval.

Unfortunately, because immigration law is so complex, arbitrary, and politicized, and because those subject to it are generally ineligible to vote, the quality of information in the media and public debate are abysmal. I don't blame the public for its ignorance of the topic; I've seen practising criminal lawyers' jaws sag open at the discovery that there is a essentially a parallel custodial system whose rules they knew nothing about. Most people aren't aware, for example, that someone picked up on an immigration violation can be detained for up to 6 months without a hearing - and that 6 months is not written anywhere in the law, but was the interim choice of a court faced with a law that doesn't provide for hearings in some cases, and a constitution that requires them.
The interesting thing, to me, with Python is it can fall out of favor but it seems very good at coming back. Look when Ruby got big and became the most popular scripting language. yet Python kept trucking on, until the data science explosion that made it having things like Numpy and Scipy matter so much (and then from there libs like Tensorflow).
Horrors: Millennials Use Tracking Apps to Turn Tables on Mom and Dad
Maybe a bit, but banks get a majority of their money from deposits. That's their business. Take deposits (pay low interest) and loan it out (higher interest) with some credit risk. The Fed window is a last reserve to protect them from a run on the bank. They could do their business without the Fed window but with a conservative loan-to-deposit ratio. The government doesn't want that because when a bank goes under, banks stop lending which shuts down the economy.
that plan doesn't seem realistic or possible. US dollar is not going away. BTC will have to co-exist with it and be easily convertible into it.

How do you tend to compete with the likes of established players such as westlaw that have been around for so long? I can possibly imagine a startup which helps big company lawyers, as they tend to be more bullish on new tech, but when it comes to the legal industry I don't know.

It's not that I don't believe you guys have a fighting chance at having an impact in the legal technology space, the problem is that the legal industries is one of the slowest moving around, and silicon valley funding culture requires fast results.
The problem isn't whitespace period, its that if you aren't careful the significant whitespace can bite you, for example people sometimes accidentally mix tabs and spaces, which can get... ugly.

Personally I prefer {} blocks so I don't have to know what sort of white space is creating the indentation, even though I do miss using python sometimes and may come back to it for the right project.
There is already law for this.

There's already a visa for victims. It's temporary, but it's called a U Visa.

There's already a visa for skilled workers like her. It's called an H1b Visa.

If her husband had an h1b visa that allowed both him and her to work in the US, which seems to be the case since the story indicates that she was employed as a software engineer too, why shouldn't she be able to assume that visa if her husband dies or chooses to leave the US, assuming she qualifies on her own for the same visa. Really, what about this case is extreme wrt to immigration? If you consider this an extreme case that pattern matches /hard cases make bad law/, then what would average circumstances look like and how would they differ from this?
Ask HN: How can I win more chargebacks?
In running my online subscription business over the past 7 years, I have about a 33% success rate at winning chargebacks. This is pathetic, given my business is legit, we have solid terms of service, an easy refund policy, and respond to every customer email.

Every time I get a notification from Stripe that a customer has performed a chargeback, I immediately follow up with them via email, offering to work out the issue before responding to the chargeback. When I respond to chargebacks, I always describe the product, the service to which the customer is subscribed, and provide communication outlining my case.

Unfortunately, it seems as if there is no benefit to a card company to reject a chargeback, as they make money off of fees when a chargeback is initially performed, and would only lose money by closing the chargeback in a merchant's favor.

To those running large-scale, online businesses, can you provide any tips on winning more chargebacks?

Note: Though my chargeback win rate is low, I believe my business is well below the industry average of chargebacks at <.001%. Still, these things add up.

The Briggs & Riley BRX Excursion, at $145, is slightly more than your stated budget, but I've had an older version for three years; it has been and still is excellent. On a daily basis I do not carry as many cables as you but when travelling with full gear I find it comfortable and convenient. The thin outer pocket with the vertical zipper at the top is accessible with one shoulder strap on and fits my phone and wallet. Let us know what you decide and how it goes!

Why would China need an e-currency? If you're in China you can already buy things online using the good-old yuan. What value would another currency add?
I also let my spouse unlock my phone. It's not so much "being an open book" as it is "I trust her not to snoop, and sometimes it's convenient that she can open a map on my phone." That meets your definition of trust: not having to know what she does because I know she'll do the right thing.
I got rid of both my Iphone and Android. Moved over to a couple of inexpensive Windows 10 mobile phones, and have not looked back. Lack of apps? Edge, for all other cases, write your own. It's not hard to port apps, or to write your own for remote apis. Never thought I would ever support Windows. Given how many times I've wanted BG taken out for how bad it was. But I must admit, the Windows lifestyle is pretty nice. Share all my devices on one account, and it may not be up to par with Apple Lifestyle, but it's pretty good.
Clients are wise enough these days that they just care about the bottom line. They want to know: how much will this case that’s in discovery cost me this quarter (and can you help me justify it to my boss)? Often you give a realistic number and the client pushes back, which is how you end up with 10-20% of time being written off. This is true at every level of firm.

Within this framework, lawyers have an incentive to be efficient. If you cut your hours so you write off 10% instead of 20%, you’ve freed up hours you could spend on new billable work. If you enter into a flat fee arrangement (which in various permutations are very common), the only way you come out ahead if by harnessing efficiencies. I think most law firm managers are numerate enough to realize these things by now.

The challenges to adoption are risk. Law firms can’t push back the release date because the software isn’t ready. That makes them very conservative about changing their processes. Cost-benefit is also an issue. Even the largest law firms are relatively small companies. All major business decisions are made by lawyers, and not even the managing partner works more than part time on administration. They don’t have the bandwidth to implement software X that majorly improves some specific process Y. For the effort to be worth it technology has to deliver cross-cutting improvements.
I wonder if advertising companies will end up fighting for decades to protect their parasitic ways like big tobacco, oil companies etc.
