Silver hair? Medicare. Need some aid? Medicaid.

This depends entirely on org culture. I've worked at places where I had to go thru an absolute gauntlet of "prep" meetings to hone my talking points for talking with someone several skip levels above my manager.

And, I've worked in places where you are free to send a DM to the C-Suite if you feel like it's necessary to get your work done. No pre-approval required.

I see where you're going here. It might help if we construct a specific syntax and grammar for writing specifications for software. It'll be helpful for all of us if we can make our specifications as clear and efficient as possible. We could even call this combination of a syntax and grammar a programming language.

Just imagine a world when we have these programming languages to help us encode the specifications for our software. Wild! :)

I've done exactly the same thing over the last month and wish I would have made the change sooner. The mobile web is vastly improved with fewer AMP results and new Reddit is just terrible. :shakesfist:

I'd love to know why some of the major companies of the internet aren't using DNSSEC.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Netflix, etc. don't have DNSSEC enabled for their domains.

Is it as simple as they're just concerned about the occasional DNS request failing to do DNSSEC issues and thus reducing precious traffic?

A number of states ended up enacting laws to solve this exact problem. Lawmakers had to force the big state universities to accept transfer credits from community and regional colleges.

So we've come full circle to at home 'room service'? :)

Frontier charges you a router rental fee even if you don't physically possess the router. They'll waive the fee temporarily when you decline the router, but eventually it comes back and becomes immovable. The only way to get rid of the fee (that I've ever found) is to switch to a new account in the name of another person at the same address.

F$*# Frontier, I hope they enjoy bankruptcy!

Exactly, every hobby or indulgence has extremes. I'm happy with my ~$200 in coffee equipment and $5-10/lb coffee. But, plenty of other people spend thousands on equipment and buy $20-30+/lb coffee.

And, some people drink Folgers.

I don't think architecture has been the driving factor for console exclusives as much as intellectual property. MS and Sony have been in an acquisition war for studios for years in order to lock down exclusive IP. This is a pretty costly enterprise because Sony and MS have to buy and maintain entire companies to produce exclusive IP.

In my experience, employment law is the one area the service cannot address as they have the conflict of interest with the employer that supplements the cost of the program.

Most do not.

> As of June 30, 2019, a total of 21 states plus the District of Columbia have enacted same day registration (SDR), which allows any qualified resident of the state to go to register to vote and cast a ballot all in that day.

And, same day isn't necessarily the best solution. For example, Oregon does vote-by-mail. This process would make it difficult to allow for same day registration. But, Oregon also has nation leading voter turnout. No polling places, no hassle, just an envelope in the mail.

* Oregon also does automatic registrations when interacting with the DMV.

This was the perfect comment to read with my coffee this morning. Thank you.
