"High Performance" anything tends to mean doesn't last too long and more expensive when it breaks. I'm sure the 19" standard tires are a little better on both counts.

I would imagine that there is always the chance of 'false negatives' (people you call as failures that eventually succeed), but they are probably pretty bang on with identifying positives.
As an investment first that pretty much the only statistic that matters.

That's not contradictory to what the quote says. In fact, "do it now" is pretty much exactly what he's saying when he says most men die with the song still in their heart.
Moot point however, the quote is a missed one. He never said this.

Actually, the advantage of science is that it can predict the future in an accurate fashion.
Ergo: I know x will happen because when all the variables are the same in the past, x has always happened.
The accuracy of the prediction is what changes in science, which is why it is a better system to use for predicting future events than other dogma based systems.
Ergo: Recently discovered factor y can be changed as a variable, and this accounts for x sometimes not happening the same way. We must account for this as a variable too.

This completely ignores that you have choice.
You can go get another beer, as would be expected given you had three previously and chose to come to a bar, or you can choose to go home and sleep, or get in your car and drive, or swear off drinking forever.
The fact that options are present to you because of your previous choices (causality) is irrelevant to the fact that you still have full control over what option you select (free will).

um, yes. I've got a major business system running on django right now. I'm also just starting a new one on the same platform.
I personally couldn't care less what the flavour of the day is, because I'm not chasing celebrity, I'm making my business money.
Django works really well when you need a full stack web-app up and running quickly. You know what I don't need? Javascript anything, really.

I don't think he's too far off.
Point being getting so pissed to make an entire website about a company you don't like says more about you than it does the company.

This is an ad.
It's only vaguely disguised as a how to, even if it is something many HN'ers are dealing with.

There is no "speed limit" per se on the Autobahn.

>I personally do not see how SMBs can compete when they are paying 4x more for labor.
This makes the error of assuming that the only thing a consumer values is cost. That isn't actually the case, but it varies greatly.

Strange game, the only way to win is not to play.

Companies have a legal obligation to maximize shareholder profits, but that doesn't directly translate into how they treat their employees. If company directors felt that hiring the 'best' employees at a premium was actually making them more efficient and thus in the best interests of shareholders, they could do exactly that.
You are speaking about company directors deliberately devaluing their company on purpose to serve some other end. Often this would be connected to fraud, or semi-fraudulent, hence the the case law behind your idea.

There is nothing stopping the union from re-negotiating the contract that exists today, the same way management wanted to re-negotiate the contract that previously existed.

The child needs to be at the right level to understand the concept before they can be coached to do it. The book is aimed for 6 year olds, so, I'm using that age. Teaching a corner kick to a 6 year old is a waste of time. (at least in North America) You are still teaching the basics of space, movement and ball control.
Ergo, playing a game is the best way for a 6 year old to learn. At this age, exposure is the key element.
