I appreciate the counter-take — it seems like almost every take I read on the modern music business is coming from people who don't actually know what the reality on the ground is.

And gd submithub is awesome, I have been sucked right in, making submissions, buying credits, rating songs. It's taken up my whole morning, well done!

yep, I use lists and it helps a lot with this. Twitter got a lot better for me when I put all the hot take tweeters into a list and unfollowed them, then only check that list when I feel like going there. Which is not often

I had disabled my account a week ago, not realizing there was a separate delete option, then deleted it a couple days ago. I didn't run into this issue; I signed into my "disabled" account first, then went to the delete link and it worked.

But (correct me if I'm wrong) payment channels are connected to particular sets of recipients, but not necessarily any and all recipients. Your money is locked into that channel until you close it. You might need to open a different channel to reach your actual recipient.

this is an actually good idea - it's still a good name if you have no idea where it comes from or what it means
weary - as in you are tired that it is always facebook that implements these things? or wary/leery - in that you are cautious about thinking it is a good thing that facebook is the one implementing this?
wow, that was a leap. I think a lot of people would be thrilled to have the car drive when they've been drinking.
How about this factor - 31% of all traffic-related deaths involve alcohol-impaired driving.
I am pretty sure they are referring to "the code is law" as quoted above. That is apparently changing to "the code is law unless we think that is unfair".

I am not as worried about it in the longer term, but it's a big setback in the immediate term. Ethereum will have to convince the world that it has truly returned to "the code is law" at some point in the future.

I suppose if you have a network of organizations that are vetted but not trusted 100%
As a beautiful man I take exception to this. Why can't I be sent to seduce someone important?
The diagram here shows a real talent for explaining complex processes in a way that even a two year old could understand.
From what my doctor friends have told me, it is all about information hand-off, or lack thereof. When you have been on duty for 8 hours you have all the details of all the situations that are happening currently, but it is very difficult to hand off all that information to the next person, so it is just 'easier' to keep working and to be there when that info is needed.

It seems like that could be remedied with overlapping shifts, but that costs more money. I wonder how medical malpractice factors in.

You are claiming that there will never be another recession in SF?
I don't think your first point is is very strong since subduction zones don't work like transform faults. The land "will drop by as much as six feet and rebound thirty to a hundred feet to the west" http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/07/20/the-really-big-...
Re:Got Users? How About 100M of Them? on Tuesday April 19, 2016 @02:41PM (#11529154)
You are literally saying that 'she' isn't welcome. And having 'she' everywhere is no more disingenuous than having 'he' everywhere. Neither one covers everybody, and just defaulting to the majority has a ton of problems. Even more problematic is when people feel the need to shout it down when they see minority representation. Why did you feel the need to stamp this out instead of responding to the actual content of the post?

In a lot of the US, 'you guys' is standard plural you regardless of gender, but we don't have a gender neutral pronoun other than "they" which only works some of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

But in this case it would have worked fine: "a software engineer has thought about user registration and authentication. Hopefully they have thought a lot about it."

Let's push for the expanded use of "they" as gender neutral singular rather than pushing "she" down.

I really don't think you are in a position to say what message the author should be getting out of her personal life. Your comment reeks of privilege.
Yeah, the equality check thing kills me. I have a page that needs <selects> for choosing a time of day, and so I set a bunch of vars like isHour1, isHour2 and isMin0, inMin5, etc. A total pain when what I want is {{if hour == 1}} http://jsbin.com/uvuhip/1/edit ugly...
