I use my cameras to check in on my cat when I am out of town. Typically a friend only visits briefly once a day and I get peace of mind out of knowing that the cat is eating.
If the cat was not eating, I'd ask a friend to take it to the vet or to sit with a while to make sure it eats.
I think this calculator is counting "State/Local Income Taxes" as a credit instead of a deduction. Input a salary of $60,000 and a $6300 deduction into "State/Local Income Taxes".
$6300 was the single filer standard deduction amount from 2016. It shows different outputs when toggling between itemized and standard deduction.
In my experience, yes. I previously took it for alcoholism. I found it very broad acting. I stopped drinking compulsively. I also became indifferent overeating, smoking cigarettes, sex, and pretty much everything else compulsive.
I've heard of people using it off label to lose weight.
For me it is a very strong & powerful drug, but I also know of others where it did not seem to work. I've heard if you have a family history of alcoholism it is more likely to work.
In the last month I've used hotels.com twice because it was lower than booking directly.
In SF: Hotels.come was $180/night, hotel's website was over $300/night.
In Copenhagen: Hotels.com was $120/night, the hotel's website was over $180/night.
I'm not sure why these places are running sales on hotels.com, and not on their direct website. I try not to book on hotels.com because hotels have a reputation for giving those travelers the worst rooms (double beds vs. king bed, next to elevator, unrenovated rooms). However, it's hard to say "no" to 30%+ off.
I don't think consumer software has been that valuable in my lifetime. MS Office, & Turbo Tax are killer apps that people pay for. People willingly pay for online games too. Other than that? I guess some people buy apps.
I don't think it's regional. I've never bought an app. I paid for some dev tools, but that's it. Selling productivity outside of people's work is an uphill battle.
I think knowing the hardware is less challenging than previously. The trend is to make everything whitebox and then abstract as software. Hypervisors replace supporting many hardware configurations and software defined SANs replace dedicated appliances.
The Google dataset might not be the best for measuring this. Names and abbreviations rank highly. I think Warren Buffet might help contribute to the high ranking of 'warren'.
I host my static website using Firebase and Google Domains. Google has easy integration between the two and seems to include all the listed benefits out-of-box.
IIRC just because it boots with ECC ram doesn't mean it is actually error correcting. I'm under the impression Intel spends considerable amount of money to prove their memory controllers actually error correct & historically AMD hasn't spent the money on documenting theirs.
Sounds like you might be better off using Jenkins than roll your own. I use Jenkins over cron when I want easier auditing & authentication. I got the idea to use Jenkins as a 1-size fits all hammer from https://www.cloudbees.com/blog/drop-cron-use-jenkins-instead...
I was loyal to AMD's CPU from 1999 - 2013. Price and not nerfing advanced features (overclocking, VM extentions) kept me coming back. However, there aren't many recent server/workstation options. So I begrudgingly switched over to Intel Xeon chips.
I bought an AMD RX 480 this year. I hadn't bought a discrete GPU in decade. I looked at Nvidia, but saw you needed Quadro/Grid to use with VT-d. AMD's GPU work with VT-d out of the box.
It'd be a damn shame to lose a company like AMD that doesn't disable features for marketing reasons. I'll happily buy another AMD CPU if the zen line comes close to the hype.
I agree on the hardware side. However, more times than not I have to fight with the video playback tearing or dropping frames. I've had least amount of problems with ElementaryOS, but that distro has stability problems that counteract the better video playback.
Thanks for posting this. This is the best perspective & concrete advice on DSU I've seen. I'm not a big fan of going through the motions, but understanding why we go through the motions changes my outlook.
Personally, I'd prefer higher capital gains tax and lower corporate tax. I think it would be more transparent and easier to collect.
