My experience with Raspberry Pi products is a stark opposite. They just work.
As someone old to software but new to hardware, I'm not sure what to make of this.

A microdose should not need a sober friend and should not cause you to talk utter nonsense. The colloquial definition of microdose here is "that which has sub-cognitive effects". Its generally between 0.05 and 0.1 grams for cubensis strains of mushrooms.

Some people, including Hearn (who is more vitriolic than the average) believe that #1 is false and #2 is a necessary risk.
If you are coming at this from reading Hearn's words, you are coming at this from an extreme perspective that would be balanced by reading Gregory Maxwell's words. I recommend http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/blocksize-conversation/ for a critical, outside and rational perspective.

I've created this to make it easier to digest the Bitcoin-development mailing list. You can see it in action at http://reddit.com/r/bitcoin_devlist . I'd love if people found it useful, and I'd love PR's.
Cheers.

"Get pregnant easily" is not something you should be advertising. There are tons of reasons why someone can have trouble getting pregnant that are completely external to your app. Just a heads up.

> Sometimes it's better to cut the team down from 5 to maybe 2-3 instead of adding more people
Tried and true.
> If there isn't one, stand up an automated test harness with as many tests as possible
What do you think about adding on another developer to just do testing? What about a full-time QA person, so that you don't have to build automated tests?

I'm rolling my own signup (which is easy enough in Django), but I'd consider doing a Google login. Facebook & Twitter I wouldn't care to implement: My target audience wouldn't want to be mixing their social logins with my service.
kvnn | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Industry standards for locking down a SAAS product to prevent abuse?
I'm building a SaaS product right now and finding that there aren't very many sources for finding industry standards. Non-enterprise SaaS is quite new.
That said, I think the best thing to do is wait until you spot abuse, and create measures to prevent it. Work on your analytics and reporting systems rather than trying to contrive possible service abuses.

It IS important for kids to have caretakers who give them attention, opportunity to be capable for life and economy, and a happy and stimulating environment.
Working towards these things with your kid is literally more important than these things making your kid more developed.
Also: don't smoke or perform other bad habits around him. Nail biting, drinking, getting angry, gossiping, etc. These are negative habits that will rub off.
You are a zealot.
