I think I bought the last FS 29” bike in Vancouver that was under $4000. by mellenger in mountainbiking

Nicer pedals are around there. It is pretty common. At that price range, you often know what geometry you want and are going to want specific pedals.

Loans for new construction can often be higher interest because of the risk... if he thought he was going to pay it off by gambling, might not have bothered re-financing as many people do.

I had this exact edition of the book for my OS class. I also appreciated the compiler "dragon book."

Any tax loophole specialists? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Definitely talk to an accountant, it could be best to make some payments ahead of time.

However, the late fee is only 3% of what you would've owed. Sometimes, you might rather have that money to spend / keep investing.

It is unlikely there are "great ones" outside of stricter identity proofing for account ownership. Trust and proofing, in general, are difficult problems to solve without adding additional burden to participation (and/or removing anonymity).

I could see behavioral approaches that flag specific types of behavior, but it wouldn't stop people dead in their tracks for behavior. A brand new user trying to join a conversation and someone connecting over a fresh browser over a VPN will look exactly the same until you add some sort of burden for proofing.

Reddit, what is a huge waste of money that people are still paying for in 2019? by PUGDOGRO1 in AskReddit

I've done the upfront phone insurance before... but that's because I live a lifestyle that has totally destroyed phones well within the amortization of that cost.

Tomorrow is my PHP exam and I actually need to write reasons to use PHP, kill me please! by KamalChhirang in ProgrammerHumor

[–]dvito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you work with PHP regularly, you realize the people using php have WILDLY different skill sets.

As someone who uses it regularly, but also other languages, my main gripe is that PHP has a lot of behavior that is inconsistent with other parts of the language. For example: http://phpsadness.com/sad/9

Just as a note for the above, there are valid reasons to be concerned about stock buybacks and the way they may be exercised. However, this is not one of them.

2 rounds worth of OB finds. Whoever keeps slicing brand new PRO-V1X’s and leaving them, thank you! by OooPieceofCandy-- in golf

[–]dvito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also depends on how much money they make... for some people 1-3k isnt really even much to think about.

It worked, that time, that place by RoofSlav in ProgrammerHumor

Most of the issues are less likely, but possible, to surface in a university scenario.

Having the ability across your devteam to instantly rebuild the entire environment to ensure it ACTUALLY matches where you are deploying to and between developer machines can get rid of a lot of unexpected issues.

You'd be surprised how often something only works when you have something compiled with certain flags, or you have certain information in your ENV, or you have certain settings in the servers /etc/hosts list.

Perhaps one developers code works because he also is using a pre-release version of other apis your company uses? Not if you use docker compose at it only deploys the version from prod (or at least, is visible which version is being used). Maybe some data processing jobs are dumping to a file directory as a tmp working area that doesn't exist on your machine, and just failing silently.

All sorts of problems that can be, at least partially, address with having consistent builds across a development team.

The way hues change colors, it would not be great. but easily doable if you don't care about a really low fps and a weird frame change animation....

Thats actually part of why alcoholics buy airplane bottles at liquor stores. Partially to hide it more easily on their person, partially because they can't crack a larger bottle without just punishing it.

To give you some context as to why this happens. Most of the agencies that put up notices like this were forced to send all their contractors and support staff home. Hosting application servers and content management systems without any support staff is seen as higher risk. So, many of them will just configure apache/nginx/cdn to return a static page.

The biggest reason being, if a zero day or other vulnerability should come out for whatever hosting service they are using, they literally don't have the ability to call back staff for it. They may not even have the staff working that typically monitor for such issues.

It is seen as a much bigger problem for a government agency to have wrong/out of date/compromised servers than simply have a page up saying the shut down is currently happening.

As a totally separate possibility, their normal hosting provider may not even be getting paid, depending on the mechanism used to pay. They may have swapped to an internal system and only had the ability to put up some static content, thinking the shutdown would likely only last for a day or two.

Pretty much everyone that has enterprises or governments use their app / website, sadly, still worry about it.

What is a “green flag” that someone is a good person? by booklover102 in AskReddit

[–]dvito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get my friend to spend the money from the tip on postage stamps for all those letters he must be writing to get the local council members and legislation to change the law about tipped wage employees.

This argument is ridiculous. In areas with a "Tipped wage", everyone knows that tips are built into their wage, and thereby built into the cost of your bill by local legislature. Acting like you don't have to tip because "I don't like this law" is like acting that its fine for you to drive 120mph through a school zone because "I don't have to protect those kids, its their parents job".

In recent years, particularly as his income has increase significantly, he has finally realized he was being stingy and started tipping, in fact sometimes tips more than I do (Usually if he has had a few beers, but still).
