My answer to that would be either (a) be more selective with the tenants and (b) consider hiring a management company after the first few properties. They take a bite of of the profit, but it might be worth it in the long run.
Wire transfers are not common (other than Direct Deposit). Yes, banking apps can scan and deposit checks. Most banks offer a paypal like feature to send money to people. People prefer paypal to using those services though.

I sometimes still get paid by clients using checks, but most have switched over to direct deposit or paying with credit cards.

International wire transfers are another beast due to the IRS and all the regulation around it. You need their bank account, ABA routing number, name, branch address, etc. I wire funds to Vietnam all the time, but there is a limit to the frequency and amount that I can do. It also will raise flags with the IRS, which is something to avoid.

Paper checks are suspected to go the way of the dinosaur in the US by 2028.

The UK is also a big check writing country too, fwiw.

And, honestly, checks aren't a pain in the ass. It's probably the same amount of time/effort as logging into a website and sending money, except for the time it takes to mail it or deliver it by hand.
You know how at the start of disaster movies you see odd clips of the news with reports of whatever's going to cause the disaster being reported in the background while they establish your empathy with the characters?

That's how I feel whenever a report on the Ebola epidemic pops up. Like here.

Look, the OP could have been precise. We have terminology that makes all these things very exact. That's why terms like "soundness", "completeness", etc. were invented.

The OP wrote something that is ambiguous. I was pointing out why it's tricky. You're welcome to interpret it in a way that makes it less tricky.

However, what you're asking for still requires a pretty strong decision procedure if you want something that is actually of use on non-trivial examples. If you have expressions that are nested, then you need to be able to reason about all possible contexts; if you have state, you need to reason about all possible states. Maybe you have lots of experience with this kind of reasoning and have gotten used to it, but I find the necessary underlying proofs (whether human or automated) pretty heavy going.
I don't know what you're doing, but I can't recall the last time I ever had Safari crash on me on iOS.
IMHO, genetic testing wasn't the cause of the divorce; it was the family's intransigence at the dad wanting to get in touch with his long-lost son. What kind of a people are these, that they'd want to kick the father out for wanting to get in touch with a son he never knew he had, from before the marriage?
>Sources or guessing?

Neither. For one, it's obvious that any such products needs at least 1-2 years to design, manufacture prototypes, etc. Second, we've seen several previous exposes of how Apple developed new stuff (iPad was in the labs for 7-8 years, the iPhone the same, etc, and there have been galleries of the tons of prototypes they checked published). So, I was basically just stating the obvious.

>I think the similarity of how the iWatch and the Android watches work is too similar to be a coincidence

Well, people already had a uncanillity similar experience to Android watches 5 or so years ago, by strapping an iPod mini to a wrist strap. It's a watch that talks to a smartphone and has a computer screen, so of course its similar in that, but that's inevitable. The kind of interface, the controls, the fashion styles for the straps and everything, and the internal design / sensors / etc are unique.

>Basically your story doesn't make any sense. The public story is that all Samsung knew was "Apple is working on a watch", and with that information, completely independently tossed together (with a little help from Google) a device that, in the Gen 2 version of Android Smartwatches, just so happens to work almost exactly like the iWatch minus the nub. The probably of that happen are only slightly less than throwing a bunch of parts into a dryer and at the end of the cycle getting a clock.

For one, the "almost exactly" is only in the sense that one car and another car do mostly the same things. The design, controls, software and everything is different, from the "nub" to the style choices to the sensors to the charging, to the e-payments, to the app selection UI etc. The Samsung version is sub par in every way.

>If Samsung developed the smartwatch based on nothing more than a rumor and just slapped it together, then they did one hell of a job because that's the template all new smart watches are currently following and they deserve a little more credit. (...) Samsung slapped together a watch based on a rumor, the gen 2 devices were pretty good and Apple simply went the direction with the idea that Samsung had pioneered.

What are those ideas again? Can you name one thing Samsung did that was a) non obvious part of a smartwatch, b) better?
“the iPod succeeded because of a synergy with other parts of Apple's empire”

That is absolute crap. iTunes had no foothold to speak of in the marketplace. The notion of Apple having an "empire" at the time of the iPod’s release (or even at the time of the iPod’s mainstream success) was laughable.
>I have a black Samsung Galaxy S3. I held it up against the image of the iPhone 6, and they're barely different.

Was talking about the watches.

But since you mentioned it, I had a look:
http://www.hitechmobiles.co.nz/uploads/images/Samsung_Galaxy...

This is like iPhone 6 in the sense that Times New Roman is like Helvetica. They are both fonts after all.

Different buttons, different curves, different materials, different home button, different back design, different colors...

Where exactly do you see the similarity?

Not to mention the whole "huge touch screen, minimal buttons smartphone" thing was pioneared by Apple already since the first iPhone, when Samsung did keyboard smartphones that looked nothing like this?

I posted this to HN the other day and people seemed to like it: http://www.runswiftlang.com/learn

It'll let you run Swift code from your browser. The Learn page gives you a short run down of some features as well (I'm in the middle of writing up content for it, what's there now is a placeholder really, just the basics) and links to more documentation from Apple.
That's more EA's MO, to be honest. I don't see Microsoft going heavy with microtransactions. Microsoft is more about bone-headed, tone-deaf "synergies". They'll undermine the franchise trying to use it to promote other projects no one cares about (e.g. Kinect, for a start), and you can forget about PC being the primary platform for it going forward (or it will only be available on Windows Store). But, they won't charge you to place blocks.

I mean, Mojang stands out as one of the few independent studios (as opposed to indie) that * gasp* charges real money for software. Not F2P, not P2W, not whatever else. Microsoft would love to go back to those days.

(For the record, so would I.)
As other people have said, genetic information is powerful and scary to most folks. Most diseases have a host of genetic factors that also interplay with environmental factors, and the outcomes of these interactions are not rigorously understood. So 23andMe is a cool idea but may be overstepping the data.

Plus most people are not able to interpret what these genetic risks mean for them, so delivering the results directly (not through a doctor or preferably genetic counselor) is risky. People tend to think of genes as laws or rules, as guarantees, when really our genomes are complex if-then clauses (if this chemical hits this receptor transcribe that bit there). What if someone decides to get a double masectomy because of BRCA mutations? That's a traumatic, expensive procedure, and maybe riskier than the cancer risk; in any case, it's a decision that should be made with a medical professional.

Finally, 23andMe inexplicably flipped a big old bird to the FDA, their own regulatory agency, by NOT RESPONDING TO THE FDA FOR 6 MONTHS before the warning letter. That's just irresponsible and foolish.

Biotech has a crazy amount of regulation, but I think 23andMe deserved this one

I'm not actually unclear on the meaning of these words. There happen to be multiple possible interpretations of what the OP wrote, some demanding problematic things and others impossible ones. As I said in my reply to @JadeNB, we have unambiguous terminology for all this. Would have helped to have used it.

As for the meaning of "sugar", I _think_ I have some inkling about what it means. We're in a discussion thread about a document on desugaring. I happen to be its author.

Dealing with on-demand thumbnails is annoying, I've done something similar in the past [1].

In any case, transparently generating thumbnails from URLs is the saner solution, designers/editors might want to embed image of all sorts of sizes and aspect ratios and you can't always generate everything in batch - this is extremely common on news sites.

As for your 80% and non-TC solutions, see my other response (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8294806). Maybe you've built such engines, in which case I'd love to hear more (because we're actively working on related problems). It's pretty damn hard because of the nature of reasoning you need for non-trivial examples.
Yes.

The issue is not black and white. Why should Chrome implement Apple HLS, rather than Adobe HDS, Microsoft SmoothStreaming, or MPEG DASH, among other HTTP streaming formats? What about RTSP -- a protocol designed for streaming, which Android had good support for in the video tag?

In any case, live streaming in Chrome is possible with WebM, or even WebRTC. Flash is not ideal either, but at least it has consistent support on the desktop.

I don't think managing a charity successfully and making savvy investment decisions are similar. Investing outside of angel investing/accelerators is fairly close to a zero sum game, and there are many more excellent opportunities from a societal investment perspective in charities than in investing.

Not investing as a whole is a zero sum game but specifically increased levels of investing sophistication and savvy.

I'm a Canadian who is temporarily in the US, and it seems so backwards to me. A signature? You mean writing on a piece of paper that probably never gets looks at allows someone to take money out of my bank account? Chip+Pin at least has a semblance of technical security.

And cash? Don't get me started. Cash can be physically lost. Cash can be stolen. When you pay with cash, you get given coins as well as the thing you are buying. Coins suck. To me, cash makes less and less sense these days. In Canada, I never carry any. In California there are enough cash only places (in 2014!) that I have some at most times.

I will probably not know it when I see it, but I look forward to the last day I touch cash.
> The Mac market at that point was nascent and lots of people were buying iPods w/o the ability to use iTunes.

The iPod was supported on Windows before iTunes was available through Musicmatch Jukebox, which Apple bundled with Windows iPods. I don't think there were many people buying iPods before then just to look at. :)
Btw, why Groovy on Grails ? Any specific reason ?

No, that was me doing what I said everybody would do - recommending my personal pet favorite. :-) I just happen to really like Grails as a framework for developing web-apps and Groovy as a language. The combo hits a "sweet spot" for me in terms of productivity and ease of use, and leverages a lot of pre-existing knowledge of the Java / JVM ecosystem that I already had.

From a pure "market demand" standpoint, my guess is that RoR or even Node is going to be more valuable than Grails, but I haven't empirically validated that - it's just a hunch. In my case, I'm using Grails in the context of a startup I founded, so it doesn't matter to me what the market is screaming for - it just matters what I can use to Get Shit Done. :-)
Wow that's creepy and yet completely unsurprising from google..
MineCraft has sold over 50 million copies at $7 (pocket edition) to $27 (PC edition) each, plus merchandise. Even after expenses, I'm pretty sure Notch's personal cut is in the nine-figure range. Easily enough to be independent for the rest of his life.

(I'm with you on "sell out at $2 million" in general, though. For the area I want to live in, which I coincidentally already live in, that'll last a lifetime.)
Being deaf is an objective, unambiguous disability. I don't think the same is true of being black, even if it correlates negatively with certain metrics.
I agree, there's a difference between having 10 years of experience and having 1 year of experience repeated 10 times doing the same thing. Me, personally, I enjoy learning a lot and I get restless if I don't feel I'm developing my skills and keeping current.
I haven't gone very far down the Clojure path myself, but Programmming Clojure[1] from Pragmatic Press is one of the ones I started with. The other one I used is Clojure in Action[2]. There might be better books out there (or not), those just happen to be two that I'm slightly familiar with.

That's pretty much the summary of what I wanted to say. If they were quite good you didn't more than one within 6 months.

Anyway, tried a little the samsung (a joke) and the lg (another joke since you basically can't see it under the sunlight).

Moto 360 (I love Moto!) is quite nice although the os is not meant for a rounded display so many apps can't ... well ... simply show you everything (hence the "prototype" mark). However I haven't tried it personally, so maybe everything else can compensate.

Thanks for the reply! Reordering in the content form is only meant for reordering schools within the education section, reordering employment positions within the employment section, etc. Reordering entire sections can actually be accomplished in the resume customizer, where they can be moved up and down, or to diferent columns entirely.

A few other users have mentioned the same difficulty, so I now recognize that it is a point of confusion due to a lack of guidance or clarity in the UI. I will be working on ways to reduce this confusion, and certainly the documenting of your experience will help with improving this part of the UI.

What personal reactions do you have with Google Glass that are untainted by what you've read? It's fear dude. I've had old ladies, young children who read about it and are amazed, and technology enthusiasts who would have nothing more than to try it on and give it a go.

I know people theorize about the mark of the beast and cyborgs and privacy but I simply haven't seen it. It's a cool gadget and I have fun wearing it in public. It's also great for hiking and camping and Auto Awesome is the shit, so... you are missing out.

An excellent article covering the meaning technology adds to, or subtracts from, elements of culture as it is today. Whether or not culture is truly "monolithic" depends on which parts are considered.

Does the Internet put a different spin on what a culture is?
Instant and ubiquitous transmission around the globe flattens distinctions among cultures, but constantly emerging countertrends oppose the current culture reducing its longevity. 21st century culture is in constant ferment, "pop" cultures have a much shorter, and less distinguished, shelf life.

The idea of an "aura" emanating from a Rembrandt has merit, though comparable art of current era has hardly any value in the cultural or commercial marketplace. Instead, as pointed out, the aura is granted to celebrities in all domains, appearing and leaving, and unlike Rembrandt, there's no museum to view them 400 hours or years after fading from the scene.

The shame is there is no value to assign if a thing can't persist. How do we preserve our artifacts that will tell who we were to people 100 years from now? Those living today can't know what will be important, or called valuable, a century down the road, and we should not try to decide ahead of time because we can't.

IOW our self-evaluation of contemporary culture is hampered by impossibility of seeing what is invisible. The value of the things we produce, of present culture itself, won't be decided for 50 to 100 years from now, if any trace is still around. The jury is out and we won't be around to hear the verdict.

There were already a lot of other iPod docks on the market when the iPod HiFi came out in 2006. Keep in mind that the dock connector was introduced with the 3rd-generation iPod in 2003 -- it's hardly as though third parties failed to notice the connector for those three years! The Bose SoundDock came out in late 2004, and it was hardly unique, either; this review compares it to several other similar products on the market at the time:
