Leaving work for childcare is currently a valid reason to go on unemployment. They should try to work this out with one of their employers. They could each go down to 50% time and …

That would be the opposite of paying your loan.

Yeah, my wife and I went to the spoonbread festival a few weeks ago it was a lot of fun. The college does a lot of cool things in the area. A lot of the classes in the area for cra…

Yeah, that's a huge issue. The ability for the local talent to share their expertise with each other is important too. I agree, but there are solutions to the problem. More meetups…

I don't know what the exact cause is, but I got the impression the reason 50 were admitted was that there was a limit to the scale of the program, not that everyone else was unqual…

Very true. UK, U of L, and many other schools in the state produce solid devs. And you're right a lot of the better grads leave for better jobs. But I wouldn't agree that there are…

I had 400 level EE classes with a couple guys who came up through community colleges. They weren't always prepared for the classes. It was ironic because it wasn't they didn't unde…

How are you getting unlimited books? I'm limited to the few hundred my local library has.

I've invested and mined crypto before, but this is worrying to me. There are enough payday loan offices and gas stations minting money off lottery tickets in Kentucky. The consensu…

I think a lot of work has been undertaken for a ROS1->2 bridge. It should be feasible to use this to have ROS on a micro and bridge to an existing ROS 1 code base.

They are moving to ament. http://design.ros2.org/articles/ament.html I think a lot of the difficulty is in the build system being federated. This makes it complex as it supports mu…

I think the last paragraph in the article is key, the most interesting and tiring arguments are the ones where both parties believe the other is arguing from the gut and have retro…

I spent a good amount of time working with Brillo when Google was first pushing it. The thing I liked most about working with it was the system they had for OTA updates. Even in be…

I would really like to talk to some VC's, unfortunately I'm based in the Midwest, it might as well be the majove as far as funding goes or so I understand. So I'm trying to get a s…

Yes and they vary drastically. Federal courts use the same jury pool for two years, while a local court could be as little as two weeks. Attorneys/secretaries/paralegals already do…

Even so, I do have some benefit to having defense attorneys use it. I'll get more data on jurors. Having people pay what they will or can isn't a new idea. If the defense can't pay…

I replied to PJ via email earlier because I was timed out on responses, but for anyone wondering about this: My MVP and what would likely become a free version is an app that allow…

That is a possible outcome. Like I said though, with courtrooms being adversarial one side is incentivized to use any useful tool against the other. If the defense can't afford it …

1. I agree. I think this app could be useful to the consultants too by making their jobs easier. I think I would still see a sale, just from a consultant not the attorney. I think …

You're right, I left off a zero, 8 million people report for jury duty a year. Each potential juror is often researched by more than 4 attorneys. At $25 per juror researched you en…

It becomes public record and is free for use. The attorneys I've been working with locally have been able to hand me juror sheets. It's honestly kind of scary that I can be handed …

I don't think it would be too difficult. Any question asked or note taken can be analyzed. From whose perspective? Attorneys views on selection is simple; "if they aren't favorable…

Some added notes. Attorneys already look up juror's facebooks/twitters/etc if they can. I would just be helping them use that data. I would try to automate as much as possible, but…

This. Kind of what I said in the main post. It seems crappy that you're giving someone an advantage, but it would be available to both sides. The justice system is structured this …
