North Virginia has a very large Indian community.

All the schools in the area have days off for Indian Holidays since so many would be out of school otherwise.

Pretty sure this is satire and not even remotely true.

I just did the same thing for my kids, they love rotary dialing.

Plus Grandpa can call them anytime.

Ireland sponsors a bunch of local leagues all over the World to promote Hurling/Camogie and Gaelic football. Lots of fun if you want to give it a try or just watch some games.

Back then the Second Amendment was read as a right to an Armed Militia. SCOTUS probably would of allowed these laws at the time.

It's only the in past few decades that the Second Amendment has been perverted into the right to carry any gun you want where ever you want.

We use it for our bare metal management and like it for the most part.

It does require a lot of planning though.

But the company has been great to work with and super helpful in slack.

Since they are owned by Amazon. I would think their cost is close to nothing.

Traditional media political ads can't micro-target people that are more likely get sucked into their made up "facts" and conspiracy theories.

They also are broadly broadcast so that they can be dis-proven and discussed. Instead they are hidden away only shown to people that won't question it.

If facebook wants to do political ads then it needs to disconnect them from targeting, publish them for public display, publish who paid for the ad, and moderate them to some basic level of being truthful.

Also check what your insurance covers in regard to the child birth. Try to get the plan with the best coverage and least amount of deductibles.

We walked away paying nothing where friends in the same hospital had to pay a few thousand.

You can always change your plan after the kid is born or at the next open enrollment.

It's fine, we just wash it on high.

Ask your OB about it though if you want a more professional opinion.

This x 100. We get used clothing from friends and goodwill all the time. They blow through clothing so fast it's not worth buying new.

If you buy a used crib just make sure it's in good shape and hasn't been recalled.

More practical advice: Costco brand diapers and formula are the cheapest we found, but still good quality. Well worth the membership. There are also ways around going to Costco without paying for a membership. You can just google it.

Walmart brand wipes were the cheapest (and not useless) ones we found. We buy them in lots of 1200 at a time for about $20.

It's not even half. Only ~25% of registered voters, voted for Trump[1].

It's a problem of how to drive turn out and get people to the polls. Trump is the result of apathy toward politics in this country.

Their docs site has always been decent enough for us.

https://docs.joyent.com/private-cloud

Anything missing or questionable could usually be resolved by looking in the docs folder of the corresponding service's github repo.

We're using Joyent's Triton platform and like it a lot.

It's been super stable and great for us. Plus #smartos has been incredibly responsive and helpful with any problems we run into.

There is also Proxmox and Cloudstack.

They just finished animal trials in the US and are hoping to start human trials soon.

It's been talked about a lot for a long time. But nothing ever gets pass congress.

Obama tried to pass a lot of infrastructure spending as part of the 2008 Stimulation package, but a lot didn't make it into the final budget.

Everyone wants it fixed, but no one wants to pay for it.

Many states fund their roads and bridges via a gas tax. But no one wants to raise the price of gas. So nothing gets fixed through that channel either.

It's a real problem in the US and our divisive and nut job "party first" politics.

For Lost Vikings it was most likely for easy porting.

Wikipedia mentions is was available on the following platforms: Amiga, Amiga CD32, Game Boy Advance, MS-DOS, Mega Drive/Genesis, Super NES, PlayStation

Oh I agree. That's why we ditched ec2 for our own bare metal cloud based on joyent and saved over $200k/year

I don't see how anyone can afford SaaS metrics/alert services at any sort of real scale.

$15/month/host gets expensive fast. Datadog doesn't start providing discounts till you are at 1000+ hosts.

I've used it with Influxdb, Elasticsearch, and Prometheus.

They all worked great. I can't think of any reason to use Graphite.

I get long hangs (5 secs) when saving Ruby code.

I think it just takes a long time to load up all the gems rubocop relies on, then to process the syntax. I put the blame squarely on Ruby, not vim.

The take away I got from the article is that these people are being replaced by workers here on H1-B visas. Which are suppose to be used only for positions that you can not find any American workers for.

So Disney instead hires a contractor service that employees H1-B people to replace the people being laid off at a lower rate.

The git repo has a MakePkg script that will generate deb packages for you.

I found it really easy to use.

I showed it to a former patent examiner.

It's just an application for a patent. It was rejected on 2/20/15. Now it's just kept around as prior art.

They also requested and then denied a refund on their filing fees apparently. Cause it's a really stupid patent.

It is in the US.

Egg's are washed which results in the membrane on the outside being removed. This allows easier access for bacteria if not refrigerated.

When I worked at a bookstore we would ship boxes full of un-sold books back to the publishers every month (Mostly consisting of cheap Romance novels). I imagine having to track and handle all of that to be a major cost to publishers.

The public is already allowed to use the Hubble. You just have to send a proposal that is compelling enough for them to grant you time on the scope.

I do like how it's illegal to sell a person video rental history, but totally fine to sell information that shows everywhere they are at anytime of the day.

To be fair, Call Me Maybe is played a lot in the US too.

It seems to be the delivery fee is setup as a way to encourage publishers to keep their books to a reasonable size.

Otherwise you could have lazy publishers using high resolution images out of sheer laziness and not caring since it wouldn't cost them anything extra.
