Assuming 40 mpg equivalent, gas taxes for 2 years (the period of a registration in NY) would come to about $300 for 15K miles. That may seem like a lot compared to some states, but I know some charge substantial property taxes on cars anyway. And some states already have special charges of $100 or more for hybrids and electric cars.

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say electric cars have the potential to operate most of the day. How is it that gasoline cars don't?

You had better stick with Agda or Coq then ;)
Right, which was that parents point - that it cuts both ways. There are people who get off cigarettes by moving to vaping, which is great! But you don't often hear people talking about the opposite, that vaping can also lead people to smoking cigarettes.
In addition to snips, there is also mycroft.ai. Both are still in the early stages, and work slightly differently. Check them both out.

Sure, put an omni mic in the middle, but give them all pickups or instrument picks, too.
By CA, do you mean Computer Associates or is that some acronym/initalism?
Rental companies will also hit you for "loss of use" while their damaged car is being repaired. This will likely be claimed at $hundreds/day. Most personal auto insurance and even many credit card liability plans will not cover this. I have a State Farm Visa for the sole reason that if I rent a car using that card I am fully covered including for loss of use.
There's a commercial on the radio here for an online mattress vendor, where they call out 'The walk of shame' you have when you leave a mattress store. Its hilarious and so true.

Grindr Is Sharing the HIV Status of Its Users with Other Companies
If you watched the state of the union, you know that Trump made a proposal about DACA that was such a huge compromise to the left, that much of his base raised hell. The left refused that compromise, and refused again, when he asked for DACA and the wall to be addressed in the latest spending bill. Since he has twice been rebuffed on his compromises, he's going the other way. That seems reasonable to me.
It's already hard to imagine a Hollywood studio making a movie that puts China in a bad light.
> If an industrial partners want to ship our software to many devices, indeed it will be needed for them to prove he hasn't modified the software and we are happy to learn about best practices to help them do so, so we will look at this

Yea, as a privacy conscious user this would be the attack vector that I’d be most nervous about. “Partners” taking the open source engine and loading it up with surveillance. Being able to re-compile and deploy a vanilla version from source is critical. There are a lot of “smart” devices out there that I would buy if only I had root and/or could decide what software ran on it.
How is that any different from major news organizations like CNN with a national reach clearly pushing biased anti-Trump news constantly?

It's funny: Trump attacks CNN for being fake, biased news, then CNN responds by focusing all of their negative reporting on Trump, becoming exactly what Trump says they are. People would have had much more respect for CNN if they had stuck to the middle path in the face of Trump's insults.

We should not turn a blind eye towards some instances of bias in media simply because they reinforce our own values and beliefs.

Mouse / Keyboard input. Though, that is opening up more and more nowadays.....
Can you even buy a new Quickbooks desktop license now, I got the impression it had all moved to the cloud.
The unfortunate side effect of getting smokers off of cigarettes, is that non-smokers see it as a safe option to start. It's an unintended consequence, but pretty predictable. With that said, youth will be youth, and I'd rather they experiment with vaping, rather than cigarettes at this point.
Try to avoid any with optimus graphics (eg a dedicated GPU) if you can.
You're ignoring how they got to be 90% of the market. It is a comforting lie to say that it was all shady business practices and marketing, though those certainly played a role. Here's a clue:

"One of the things, none of the distributions have ever done right is application packaging ... making binaries for Linux desktop applications is a major fucking pain in the ass. You don't make binaries for Linux, you make binaries for Fedora 19, Fedora 20, maybe even RHEL5 from 10 years ago. You make binaries for Debian Stable…well actually no, you don't make binaries for Debian Stable because Debian Stable has libraries that are so old that anything built in the last century it doesn't work. …and this [“Don't Break Userspace!”] is like, a big deal for the kernel, and I put a lot of effort into explaining to all the developers that this is a really important thing, and then all of the distributions come in, and they screw it all up. Because they break binary compatibility left and right."

SevenFifty Technologies | Full-stack Developer (Rails); Customer Integration Engineer | New York, NY | Onsite

SevenFifty is modernizing the wholesale beverage alcohol industry, which is massive but technologically antiquated. Over 40,000 restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail stores across the country connect with their sales reps and wholesalers through our platform, replacing a status quo going back to Prohibition. We work with everyone from the largest importers to mom and pop winemakers to build bespoke tools for communication and content distribution and provide transparency across all tiers.

We want people who are excited about learning new technologies and passionate about transforming a broken industry. We're also in a sweet spot for ambitious and talented engineers; we have a lot of traction and are well-financed, but still have a very small team responsible for a wide range of work enabling you to take ownership of large slices of our technology stack.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Backbone, React, small bit of Clojure

Well short of gutting the entire "common law" system and switching an entire legal system over to codified law it seems difficult to address the root issue.

Also, this is specifically talking about sentencing which therefor relates to criminal law. You want to get into a myriad of issues relating to Civil law and it's flaws, that's a whole other can of worms.

That hardware report is surprising to me in many ways.

* In 2018, the most popular resolution for users of Firefox is still 1366x768. And only 1920x1080 is making any headway against the dominance of 1366x768. As much as I am surrounded by the culture of multiple 4K+ displays, apparently this is not at all commonplace. 4K doesn't even get listed, presumably lumped into the "Other" category.

* In 2018, the most popular memory amount for users of Firefox is still 4GB, trailed by the also disappointingly small 8GB. In my world, I consider 16GB a bare minimum, but at least with memory I haven't been deluding myself—I know many people economize on memory. Still, I would have thought 8GB was the most common memory size by now.

* A surprising number of people still have Flash installed.

I can barely conceive of the poor experience of running a modern web browser on 4 GB of memory at 1366x768. Can you imagine the user experience of today's modern over-JavaScripted web pages on such underpowered hardware: not simply slow because of their grotesquely large transmission payload but also because they caused your computer to start swapping memory pages to disk?
Good point. We’re Pex, Plex is another company :/ But thanks

Indeed there are different reasons for not hiring per country. From the jobs page: "Each country has unique rules and regulations affecting a company’s ability to conduct business in that country, as well as the employability of its citizens."
I think they saw Apple’s success with the iOS App Store, saw Apple trying to do the same on desktop and tried to leap ahead of them by forcing the pace. Of course when app stores on desktop, for both Apple and Microsoft, proved much more problematic to implement, ramming it through like that proved highly damaging.

That's not the only reason. If the Windows platform brings more to the table than Linux, then for a developer that would weigh more heavily than the complexities of licensing it.

I've supported several Windows-centric SMB accounting platforms, including QuickBooks and trying to figure out the right way to license just Windows, in order to support High-availability or redundancy is headache-inducing at the SMB-sized server level.
I don't see how the article disagrees with what I just said. I really think you are being unclear here in what you are trying to say. Are you asking specifically what should schools due to assist nicotine users to quit, or something else?
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | $80k-$150k | https://joinroot.com

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 12 states.

We just raised a $51M Series C and we're looking to bring on more talented engineers.

Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native.

It's sad that the congressional Democracts are so focused on damaging Trump politically that they are unwilling to compromise on border security funding to produce a permanent DACA solution.

Consider that right now, we have a huge tariff on locally produced human labor. How much does that hurt people in this country, and how big does a tariff on imported goods have to be, to be worse?
What do you think of http://opencompute.org? They provide open blueprints for whitebox servers and network gear, for manufacturing by ODMs, with cloud provider purchases driving economy of scale.
Yep, implementing a compiler with systems having 512 KB maximum on average did not leave too much space for clever optimizations.

Using compilers on 8 bit systems was even worse (max 64KB).

Many game studios used UNIX/VMS systems, with cross compilers to upload data into ZX and C64 computers as development cycle.

Reading these comments its obvious that Vaping is forcing us to confront an uncomfortable truth.

Vaping might not be that much healthier for the consumer, but its widely popular because its so much nicer for the non smoker.

How much of the campaign to stop smoking was out of concern for the health of future generations? And how much of it was out of the annoyance of second hand smoke?

Even if Vaping proves to be equally dangerous to cigarette smoking, our desire to stop it just isn't in the same ballpark.
Op, sorry. Well, good luck anyways :)

Sorry to be "that guy", but could you explain what you mean by metal content being negligible unless you dry hit?

I assumed when people were talking about metal content, they were referring to metal vapors from the heating elements or something, but I'll admit that I don't know enough about this, or what a dry hit is vs. normal use, or how we know when metal vapors or whatever are/aren't a concern.

10 Longest High-Speed Rail Systems in the World
The same is true of all large markets. US movies generally don't put India/EU/Japan in a bad light because the goal is to maximize profits.

Consider the last Pearl Harbor (2001) at the time it was the sixth-best debut of all time in Japan. That was very much intentional and had a big impact on the film.
I don't agree with this. Dynamic linking is perfectly reasonable for OS libraries like kernel32.dll, for instance. Dynamic vs. static linking is a tradeoff like any other.
And it does nothing to reduce trade deficit. If anything it increases the trade deficit.

Let me give an example: If Tesla builds a factory in Shanghai, even if it does not import these cars back into the US, it can substitute the current export of US-made cars into Asia and thereby reduce US exports and increase US trade deficits.

The ads are obnoxious and the way every "app"/service implements their own interface with quirky behavior (Does the "up" button show the timeline, pause, or take you back out to the episode/series selection screen?) is annoying.

Fortunately it's possible to fix the ads at least by blocking doubleclick and the roku ad/tracking domain at the router level. Doing this leaves a blank "empty poster" graphic instead of an ad, but doesn't seem to break anything else. Updates, search, and content all continue to work fine.

What better way to drive home the point that news is bought to influence people, then to buy a bunch of local news channels and use it to tell people that? There is some beautiful symmetry here, even if it was unintentional.
