If I yell enough, people will look at me.

I realize that. I didn't mean more expensive as in "they keep adding more stuff". I meant more expensive as in, our money is constantly worth less due to inflation therefore the cost of a living wage continually goes up.

That's why the minimum wage has to keep increasing.

It's as if what constitutes a living wage keeps increasing making that term more and more and more and more expensive. This is what inflation looks like.

I would tend to agree with you here. While I do completely agree with removing those courses as hard requirements for all of the described reasons - particularly calculus...maybe not algebra 2 and trig...replacing one kind of complex math course with another semi-hard to graph math course that many people won't use isn't going to help much.

IMO - right idea, wrong solution. Replace that course with an intense personal finance class...that seems more like applied math that should be required.

It's weird how things that make companies profitable make them look bad isn't it...

It looks like the criteria are based on search results so I have to assume that is partially to blame. Seems like Go has been nonstop in the news this past year.

How is it that a search engine company managed the most search unfriendly name for their big programming language?

If you setup all three you're taking steps to communicate to those mail servers exactly how strictly your messages are authenticated as being from you. All of those providers mentioned recognize DMARC and I'd be shocked if that didn't almost immediately get you through.

Right, but just based on a quick look at postmaster tools it appears that a big chunk of how it works is sender authentication. That's all I meant.

Except that Google basically just has a better spam filter for gmail accounts now too.

Either way, good for Google. The more awareness that can get out there for improved sender validation the better.

The prequel books were very good. I really enjoyed reading all of the lead up to the original Dune book. House Harkonnen, House Attreides and the Bulterian Jihad.

The attempts to put Dune on screen have been largely terrible, but this is one of those books where the "big budget blockbuster" would be totally justified. Either that or potentially an HBO series in the vein of Game of Thrones. Given the amount of story to tell that might be the best chance to really do it justice.

Somehow, it really needs to happen.

Just posted the same thing below for my area.

About 10 years ago their service was not very good where I am. About 5 years ago that started to change. 2 years ago they called me up and just said, hey, just FYI I know you bought your own modem but we're sending you a new one for free. We just increased everybody to 60mb service (also no extra charge) and the modem you have won't work at those speeds.

Charter + Cable Card + Tivo Roamio has turned into just about the best tv/internet experience I've had. I never thought I'd say that about a cable company, but at least in the Greenville, SC area Charter does a great job.

It seems like if everything was going higher and higher then at some point that would open a gap in the home market for low end "starter homes". The biggest issue I've tended to see is people overbuying on first homes, trying to get their dream home right out of the gate if they can justify the 30 year mortgage payment in their cash flow.

What's the best dumb phone? I want calls, voice mail, text message and battery life. That's it.
