Fun fact: it mostly does now (varies by market, but the big players have mostly adopted it). It hasn't changed much. As others have observed, the underlying reality is that the meg…

That's one advantage of this being a CFPB action and not the result of a class-action suit.

Not to derail to an unrelated complaint about Fi, but it's absolutely wild that if you want to do a 3-way call from your Google Pixel phone using Google Fi service, you can't do it…

Active Frequency | activefrequency.com | Boston (REMOTE) We're a custom dev agency, specializing (but not exclusively) in Django. We work with a diverse roster of interesting clien…

Taking that at face value, I'd say that "limit drivers doing it 'for fun' in exchange for better pay/protections for drivers doing it to eke out a living" seems like a reasonable t…

For a take on Epic-the-software (as opposed to Epic-the-company), Atul Gawande had a great piece in the New Yorker recently: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-docto…

To some degree, yes - Massachusetts did that, in fact, and the plan there (that was signed, somewhat ironically, by Mitt Romney) is very very similar to the ACA. There are a lot of…

Certain Citibank cards (not all though)

I'm not on Windows, but I'm pretty sure your problem here is the " http://" - try just: nslookup techblog.netflix.com 8.8.8.8

Here's a common scenario: you maintain more than one project, and you can't just simultaneously upgrade e.g. Django for all of them (or literally any library where an upgrade may b…

The feasibility of buying 292 million tickets (as you mention) is a key barrier: many lotteries (Powerball included) explicitly and deliberately require that tickets must be bought…

Most of these are for chronic conditions, where people are seeing their doctor on a fairly regular (once every few months) basis. And yeah, at least some patients absolutely do ask…

What about http://commonmark.org ?

My understanding is that PLM very much translates to useable knowledge - just for the pharma and PHM folks who mine the backend (which is how they make money). Notably, this is all…

They do - ElastiCache. And as it happens, you can choose either Redis or Memcached!

I like ZP (now Gusto), I really do, but their support over time has been lacking (and it feels like it's degrading), and as a customer I'm growing increasingly concerned that they'…

Channeling patio11 here, but CHARGE MORE! Or, more to the point, have some ways to price-discriminate. Maybe on # of employees; maybe on features; maybe integrations or SSO or what…

Global Entry is for immigration/customs, not TSA security. The trade-off is: they do a background check and take some biometrics, and in exchange you can skip the conversation with…

"Software engineering estimates and plans often fail to live up to the reality that follows. It seems to be the only engineering discipline in which this is regularly the case." Is…

That sounds pretty much identical to Zencoder, encoding.com, etc.

Sounds like speech recognition, actually - I frequently get emails from a doctor who dictates most of his emails (on mobile), and they have a very similar cadence of grammatical mi…

I kind of wonder if they're counting "Chrome" as an app, and the 8th minute is actually SMS + phone (quaint, I know). I'd believe it either way, to be sure.
