Alternatively, you're writing/reading enough code, but it just happens to be in four different languages because you're doing a mix of greenfield and legacy, and all of these languages have syntax that's both similar _and_ different enough to mess you up from time to time.

I have been on a date with a conspiracy nut, and can confirm that this is something I'd want to filter out if I was still dating and not in a long-term relationship.

A few questions, if you don't mind:

How do you figure out how much stock to order from Alibaba? Is it just based on the maximum financial risk you want to undertake, or something else?

Do you ever replenish stock, or do you continuously rotate the items you sell?

How do you pick the items to sell? Just popular items within certain categories that don't have a current Prime option? Or some other method?

What % of sales end up as returns due to defective products etc? Does Amazon cover these, or do you take the financial hit if there's a refund?

I want a tool that cleans up my bookmarks. I'll often bookmark a page to look at it later, but then never get back to it or forget I bookmarked it. After a few years of using Chrome, I've got a crapload of bookmark bloat. Here's what I'm looking for in such a tool (I might try to build this unless there's something out there already that does this):

* Surface bookmarks I haven't visited in the past N days/months, give me the option to delete them

* Identify groups of bookmarks that are similar (share most of the URL path or one page links to the other) or duplicates.

* Suggest folders to place the bookmarks in based upon what Google knows about the websites (Sports-related, WebDev-related, etc), and/or time (I bookmarked five pages about similar topics on the same day, it's probably part of research I was doing for something)

* Remove dead links or offer to convert them to the Google-cached version

This might be a naive question, but why has there been no strong push to reform patent law in a way that eliminates non-practicing entities? It seems like it would be wise to have a law that a patent expires if the company who holds it goes a certain length of time (2 years, perhaps) without producing a product covered by the patent or transferring it to a company who does.

Would such a law increase innovation (companies are more willing to build products without fear of being sued by patent trolls) or decrease it (patents being less valuable might decrease R+D investment)? My hunch is that it would increase innovation, but I'm not completely sure.

I could see it being more like the DVD/BluRay Extras model - $5 for a pack of commentary tracks, $2 for deleted scenes, another $2-4 for the behind-the-scenes featurette, etc. It would be similar to the more successful DLC implementations, where a handful of enthusiastic users would make up a significant amount of the revenue.

It would be interesting to see how this would/could be applied to both rentals and purchases - rent the bonus features for $0.50-2 each, purchase them for $2-5 each or something like that.

DFS sites do have novice games and ones with limited entries per account, however. You can choose to enter these.

Is there a way to set a maximum price or time you're willing to pay for each request? My biggest hesitation about using something like this would be that it would end up costing way more than I anticipated - something I expect to take 30 minutes could take 4 hours cost $400 instead of $50.

Adding to this, "the free market will decide" can sometimes be a cop-out, but in this case it applies perfectly.

There are reasonably low barriers to entry in this market, for the most part. If Uber treating its drivers as contractors rather than employees impacts Uber drivers in a negative enough way that they would prefer to work elsewhere, there is likely ample space for a competitor which offers a better deal for its drivers.

Drivers have little-to-no incentive to stay with Uber if they can get a better deal elsewhere (based on what I've seen, many already also work for Lyft), and users have little-to-no reason to stick with one on-demand ride app if there's another app that has more availability/drivers.

If cost-of-ride is the biggest competitive differentiator, the price of the ride will stay the same and drivers will be able to choose whether they want to work for a company which treats them as an employee but takes a bigger cut, or a company which takes a smaller cut but treats them as a contractor.

I've been hoping for a Junkyard Wars reboot starring a rotating cast of Mythbusters cast/alumnae (including the B Team members). I love the crazy builds and seeing their thought process in how/why they build what they do. A show like Junkyard Wars would be a perfect venue for this.
