What's it going to take?

You're talking centuries of property and estate rights laws in all states and counties. It would be a freakin' mess. But yeah, this ruling eschews poly relationships.

It seems the parents that don't spend time with their kids, end up HAVING to spend time with their kids later in life with many issues that could have been corrected easier when th…

My most heartening point of this post and story, is that there are only 21 comments as of this post (22 after I hit 'enter'). So, while I sourly identify with this piece and want t…

I applaud the thought, but then they have to have an estimate of how long the estimate will take... which often ends-up wrong.

One thing that everyone likes linkedin for (ok, most) is that your resume is there for your friends to see. Lie on your resume too much, you WILL get called-out on it. So it's almo…

"Grove giveth, and Gates taketh away." --Robert Metcalfe Speaking as a software guy at a hardware company for TVs, one of the challenges is that there isn't a cohesive conversation…

To add, as a software engineer that knows very little about hardware... the arduino is pretty bulletproof and also dynamic enough to handle very sloppily designed electrical work.

I would bet it would be more likely related to '1'. I know insurance rates went down across the board 1-2 years back. It's hard to get a car without traction control and ABS now, w…

An interesting theory that seems to make sense to me, is that in a sense who you're born to determines your eating habits. The recipes handed-down from the ages are my wife and I's…

Competent leadership is, I'm finding, incredibly hard to come by. Most tech leaders I've had the fortune/misfortune to be under seem to be of the sort where they were in the right …

my "cool story, Hansel" that goes with this: I worked in electronic bingo. One of the things we faced was that paper bingo card manufacturers routinely wanted to limit the effectiv…

I don't think he's equating the people themselves with zero, rather the benefit to them. A good example where technology has really helped in Africa are cell phones. So many storie…

Yeah, but they usually allow some level of payment or some time period before they call it late.

I'm very sad it's come to this, but bankruptcy is what I was thinking. That said, lets start the discussion: a) They're only obligated to provide some treatment (Here's a band-aid …

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." --Mike Tyson

I like the idea, but these were the principles they were supposed to be following in the first place but weren't. What makes anyone think that any amount of laws passed will be res…

Chance favors the prepared mind. --Louis Pasteur

Anecdotal note: Our son wanted to watch Thomas the Train. The CGI version. We noticed that while he watched a ton of Team Umizoomi, some Paw Patrol and Diego... Thomas seemed to fo…

I think you described it. In all likelyhood though, her income drops to zero, she qualifies for medicaid...which isn't great, ever...but it works.
