Yeah, I was very surprised to see this is a normal public school. I'm not sure how that works with this school having a different schedule and teachers having different hours and perks (interesting from the union point of view). But I'm all for trying out different approaches and see what can be applied district wide. Cudos to Lebron and his team for doing this.
Hi, are you hiring new grads (graduating in May 2019) at this moment?
>You understand economics very narrowly if you use that as the only basis of your ad hominem.

The poster doesn't understand economics at all if they think changes in relative housing prices don't affect housing supply.
It's probably rather acidic, so it would throw of the pH balance in the soil.
The public school movement in the UK was all about letting members of the public choose a specific school without being constrained by things that they cannot control like the area they lived in (or what organisation their parents worked for).
The colonia status survives in the name, that's indeed the main significance. There were of course hundreds of coloniae. Some similar, in that the status also gave the town its name today. E.g. Lincoln, England from "Lindum Colonia". Not every outpost in conquered territory was a colonia though. Some were oppida, while others were military outposts

In contrast to CCAA and Augusta Treverorum, Mogontiacum (Mainz) was not a colonia. It was primarily a military post. The main difference is that citizens of a colonia were in fact fully Roman with all the rights and duties. It was also part of a different province - Germania Superior, whereas CCAA was the centre of Germania Inferior.

Mogontiacum (Mainz) is further east than CCAA. One of it's purposes was to secure the Limes, but there was a comfortable buffer between the Limes and the town itself. Further north, the wilderness basically began when you crossed the Rhine at Colonia Ulpia Traiana (Xanten) or in fact CCAA...

You'll find the majority of Roman artifacts in an area roughly a third of the size of medieval Cologne, which itself is basically just the very city centre of Cologne today. However, a lot of digs were made along the roads leading out of Cologne since these were prominent burial sites for rich Romans. These roads follow the old layout until today...
But I think the Pirate Bay is unique in that it keeps losing its domain, getting blocked, etc. and Google tends to direct you to the latest working version of it.
You stated your opinions as if they were facts. You said you know the trucking industry needs to be made safer—that sure sounds like an implied statement of fact, not sharing of opinion. I shared a ton of data that disagrees with what you know—ahem, believe. That should encourage updating your opinions.

Given the facts available on safety records of licensed, commercial truck drivers vs normal drivers—the latter of whom outnumber safer drivers 135:1—it seems sensible to me to form an opinion that the 135 less-safe drivers need to be dealt with before we get too worried about the 1 safer driver. The overwhelming majority of multi-vehicle accidents with big rigs find the passenger car driver to be at fault—we’re talking from 70-90%, based on types of crashes. Non-truck crashes outnumber truck crashes by roughly 3:1 per 100M vehicle miles traveled.[0] This seems to indicate non-truck drivers pose the greatest threat on the roads to public safety.

So sure, form any opinion you like. But maybe be more careful to share them as obvious opinions that aren’t implying they are actually fact-based—by stating you know something is true or declaring the ratio of something is out of control—or someone is likely going to call out those statements as being questionable when compared to the facts of reality. There’s no clear evidentiary basis for arriving at an opinion on a correct ratio of trucks:non-trucks, other than the data we have seems to indicate that fewer passenger cars on the roads is the surest way to increase public safety.

Author here. Absolutely fair - it's the chicken or the egg question... It's important to get some quick traction doing quick and dirty tricks, but eventually you'll have to demonstrate that you have a scalable channel.

If your unit economics allow you to pursue paid acquisition, then certainly focus on that in your early days (and if it's SEM, then you'll learn a lot about search terms that you'll be able to leverage for SEO down the road).

But businesses that have a low LTV (eg: less than $100) often don't have that luxury. In those instances, starting with SEO early may be one of the few options you have.
TELUS Digital | Full-Stack Developer & Intermediate/Senior API Developer | Toronto/Vancouver | ONSITE | Full-Time/Contract

Our team at TELUS Digital is spoiled. What you’ll find here is that our vibe is completely different from what you may see in a traditional office. There are no cubicles or seating plan, instead, we have teams of people working side-by-side creating something exceptional for our customers.
We use a range of technologies to get the job done: JavaScript and Babel (ES2015-2017) coupled with Webpack, React, Redux and other libraries to provide a modern, easy to use Javascript toolchain and smooth Developer Experience. A central Design System is used for styling and hosts shared components, while our RESTful APIs are built with Node.js powering our custom services. Quality is a primary concern and we test our applications at multiple levels with QA and Product Owners embedded within teams.

Take a look at our open positions:

For lower socioeconomic status kids a stable environment means not being at school at 6 am because Mom kicked you out to 'party' with her new boyfriend, or not coming to school high because Dad hotboxed on the drive over.
The Chinese government is going to censor its citizens regardless though.
Many retailers have their own cards: https://wallethub.com/credit-cards/store/
The article sounds kind of worrying. It seems to me that they're conflating "fake" with "dissenting". Of course, Facebook is a private entity, they're entitled to do as much censorship as they want on their platform.
Predominantly not. Traditional Indian sweets and desserts tend to be milk-based puddings, deep fried items or soft candies similar to fudge, caramel or marzipan. You can't really bake a cake in a tandoor.
>Sure Google stores a lot of data about me, but why should I be worried? They haven't done anything malicious with it.

>All user data from Google stays on Google

No, there is no company who cannot be hacked, whether from an insider or an outsider.

Big data is what enabled the operational efficiency of the Holocaust[1]. Imagine the mass scale, micro targeted cyber attacks a bad person could do with a little programming/algorithms knowledge and a data dump of the most detailed psychological/demographical profiles in history on billions of people.

Google and FB are building dual-use tools of mass destruction/manipulation. While they may only use it for advertising, there are plenty of worse things it could be used for. Plain old censorship is just getting your toes wet.

Hey, sorry it didn't work! I just pushed an update that uses a new UK-based number for users in that region, so it should work now. Let me know if you try it again.

I have seen a bastardized version of Django admin used as a quite sophisticated dashboard. This new addition will make it even easier to hack together things like that in a very short time.
>Welcome to trillion+ valuation AAPL.

The word welcome as if someone already has a trillion cap and welcome them. But in fact no one has done it, and even if they did by real dollar and for a short moment; There were one or two companies that touches the trillion market cap for a few hours / days and came back down. Apple may be the first one to truly worth it.

Exactly. To protect ourselves from tyranny, the US established the second amendment. It is preferable if we are equally in a position of asking "should I be evil or not?"

It's arguably more dangerous when the power to be evil is centralized.

Preach! Icing is marketing, the entire point is to make a shitty cake look less shitty by completely hiding it. Heavy icing is usually deceptive, hiding the emptiness of the actual cake.
This is not true, at least not without some sort of context around the work being performed and the requirements of the workflow.
What do you use to write your front end Javascript?
This is definitely the norm in the US. Maybe it's not quite 3 full months, closer to 2 1/2, but there's a long enough gap that time is wasted refreshing information from the previous year.

Agreed, or you end up with something that resembles the unfortunate path of iOS.

Someone seems to have computed the cash vs CC money flow: https://www.bostonfed.org/publications/public-policy-discuss...

"On average, each cash-using household pays $149 to card-using households and each card-using household receives $1,133 from cash users every year."
In countries like the US it starts at birth. Families in rich areas will send their children to elite, selective high schools that cost upward $30,000+. Some of these schools have strong math and science curriculum and are considered direct feeders to elite universities, such as the ivies. These poorer kids could be high IQ'd just like the richer ones, but with less access to resources, may be very behind their richer peers. These richer kids will get into the elite schools, while the poor kids may go to lower end ones or not go to colleges at all. Rich parents can hire their children SAT tutors, ensure their children go to good STEM schools, have various college prep resources for their children, while the poor parents don't know anything about college, sent their children to lesser high schools, and have children that may be just as bright, but essentially ones that have no chance to be admitted to the places they otherwise might have gotten into. College admissions at elite colleges favor children from the elite that had the resources to prepare their children for such pedigree. There are exceptions to the rule, but many poor families face deep struggle. This is regardless of however high IQ'd their children may be.
Screw that. I know people who have to keep working in their retirement because of their property taxes. If you're gonna tax land it should be proportional to how developed that land is. You shouldn't be taxed off of your land because you bought it 40yr ago before it was valuable.
It's even easier than that:

$ git commit -s -m "man: add example for bla bla bla"
$ git send-email --to=wireguard@lists.zx2c4.com HEAD~

And that's it!

This is also, by the way, how submissions to the kernel itself work, so if you're ever interested in doing that and want to get used to the process in a smaller environment, this could be a place to learn.

...essentially sequestered carbon.

I generally support recycling and climate action, but I actually wonder if the net benefit of throwing organic matter in landfills could be carbon negative if the gases are controlled. For organic matter, putting it in a landfill could potentially be a net positive versus recycling it or composting it (which also releases gases).

I happened across a free play in the park by Lake Merritt (Bay Area). It was well produced, singing, acting, sets, the whole nine yards.

At first I just thought it was a schoolroom drama, but then I realized it was a full on anti-charter school propaganda piece. Like, mustache twisting, “if I can only get rid of this pesky teaching thing, I can get rich!” villains.

It struck me as bizzarre. Not because I disagree with their position... maybe that’s in fact happening in the Bay. I just didn’t understand who is enjoying such an overt propaganda piece. Where’s the joy in being beaten over the head with a political message?

And what are the producers thinking? People are too dumb to be informed or to form their own conclusions so we need to trick them into hating charter schools?

At the moment I'm working as a freelancer and I'm looking for a more permanent gig at a company that is starting, working on or already delivered an interesting product.

I have a very broad experience as both a mobile and a web developer and I even developed some desktop applications. This gives me a very broad understanding of the kind of solutions that exist in the world and a deep understanding of the whole stack a mobile application lives in.

The last years I have been doing iOS development for about 70% of my time and I have delivered dozens of applications to the App Store, both very small and larger projects in teams. Since two years I'm steadily growing into architecture and team lead roles.
