I still have not found a single subscription solution that seamlessly handles adding sales tax and properly reporting it. Stripe does not. Recurly does not. TaxJar does not work with subscriptions. Avalara does not work with subscriptions...
How is this any different than the subscriptions they previously offered? And what do services like Recurly do that Stripe subscriptions don't? And when is Stripe going to automatically handle sales tax?
Stove-top siphon pot (Yama 5 cup). I've found it to be the best method after trying all (according to my personal tastes and style). Metal filter only.
French Press or Clever comes in second place. Also metal filter only.
For cold brew: two glass 3L jugs, a funnel and metal filter.
Other things:
Baratza Virtuoso Grinder, Lavatools digital thermometer, timer (any will do), gram scale (any will do).
Coffee: Fresh beans from Portorico importing (NYC). Light-roast only.
Same situation. Had a System 76 Lemur Ultra for 3 years and hated it after 6 months. The battery had to be replaced every 10-12 months. The build quality was appalling. Everything was falling apart. The finish and keys were coming off. HDMI never worked. WIFI problems every day. It was really a piece of garbage. I'd be embarrassed to sell those.
Just got a Dell XPS 13 for about the same price I paid for the System 76 piece of junk. It's an amazing computer.
Most lotteries are not 1 in 175 million.. using the hardest-to-win lottery skews this article a bit..
I don't really understand the point of this article. Is he trying to expose the "morons" who play the lottery for being just that? Maybe the $2 or so bucks means nothing to people playing. Maybe the excitement of the lead-up to the drawing and the checking of the numbers is more fun than $2 in my pocket. You can barely even buy a soda with $2 now.
If those jackpots swell over $200M, betting $1 to win against 1:175M odds is a good bet. If I could bet $1 to win $15 and I had a 1 in 10 chance of winning, I'd do it every time.
In the end, the lottery funds go towards the city/state, and usually education. It's a fun form of charity.
> But swing traders need to win at least 50% of the time in order to be profitable.
That's not true. It completely depends on your strategy/system. You can be highly-profitable with a 30% win-rate (or any number) granted the amount you win is far higher than the amount you lose. If my average win is $1000 and my average loss is $100, I can be profitable with only 10% wins (excluding commissions).
No. First, I'm not accusing Acquia of anything. I'm simply saying that I don't agree with the article, understand the real point of it, and I think it was poorly written. I'm completely failing to see the connection or proper comparison of GMail's compose form to Drupal's not-so-pretty node forms. I think it does nothing but make Drupal look bad without giving any information at all.
Continuing with my earlier point, I don't have specific examples to give, but I've built so many complex web applications using Drupal with beautiful interfaces/UIs that you wouldn't even be able to recognize what was powering it. The complete allure of Drupal to me is that you can be literally anything (for the most part), and you can do it incredibly fast.
I don't have a guide on-hand but my advice, if you're new to Drupal, would be to take a few weeks and really explore the power of it (via contributed modules and some of your own development; if possible). The same thing scared me away initially (that was 8 years ago), but I've learned to love the power and complete flexibility that this platform offers.
Since we're talking about messaging, try out the Private message module. Right off the bat, you'll get a much cleaner form than the ugly node form. Private messages are also fieldable so you can add additional fields like attachments, labels, etc. Using the API (hook_form_alter()), you can do anything you want to any form at all. Then once you introduce a good theme, the possibilities are as endless as any other solution.
I'd also take a look at some of the Drupal 8 backported modules for Drupal 7 (if you're going to use 7). They introduced a number of great UI changes and made some of them available for Drupal 7 via modules.
I don't really understand this article. You compare the core node add/edit form with GMail's email compose form - and that's it? That's all Drupal can do? No, it's not even close. I understand that the core UI elements in Drupal are pretty bad, but why not mention how easy it is for a developer to clone that compose form? Why even use a node form to do the comparison (you're not creating content here). This just takes an unfair stab at Drupal without going in to any details at all.
I just got the System 76 Lemur Ultra a few weeks ago. Intel i5, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM. It's amazing. Ubuntu works perfectly. All hardware works perfectly. Their support is top-notch and almost instant. With shipping, total was like $860.
Peace of mind going forward with new Ubuntu releases is priceless.
If you're talking about a database in terms of a web application or something similar, it's very simple. I remember I learned my way around MySQL in a matter of days. Check out w3schools.com and go over the quick MySQL tutorial.
