DS, Hampshire
You don't say which credit card you have, so the answer may depend on the costs of your particular card. In general, however, credit cards are one of the best sources of borrowing - whether to buy goods or to make cash withdrawals. Such advice defies the popular view of them, which demonises credit-card companies for their rip-off interest rates.
It is true that, with some notable exceptions, credit cards do indeed have high interest rates. Many credit-card rates have not fallen to the same degree as, for example, mortgage rates in recent years.
But the point is that other forms of borrowing, such as personal loans and current account overdrafts, can work out just as expensive as credit cards, or dearer. Credit cards can even be competitive for longer-term borrowing, and (unlike many personal loans) they also offer the flexibility to pay off debts faster than expected - if you can afford it.
Many people prefer to use a fixed-term personal loan as it provides the discipline needed to clear a debt, but it may not work out cheaper.
Credit-card cash withdrawals are especially suitable for short-term loans, even with those cards that charge a 1.5 per cent cash withdrawal fee. If you want to borrow to top up your Halifax account, you need top up only for 24 February (though make sure you deposit the money in time to reach your account).
If you had a balance of pounds 1,000 or more on 25 November 1994, 24 February is the date on which balances must be restored to the previous level in order to maximise your receipt of free shares. After 24 February, you can reduce your Halifax balance to pounds 1 without affecting your entitlement to free shares.
Can you explain how financial advisers can give discounts on PEPs? Is it better to invest direct with a PEP/unit trust management company, or through a financial adviser?
MC, Cardiff
Shoppers who buy from a factory shop or direct from a manufacturer will usually pay less than if they buy through a high- street shop. But in the world of investment, it can be the other way around. Buying through a financial "retailer" is sometimes cheaper than buying direct. This applies to unit trust PEPs and to other packaged investments, such as pensions and endowment policies.
Most investment providers build commission for an intermediary into the cost of the investment. If you buy direct without any intermediary, the provider (for example, the insurance company, or unit trust company) simply pockets the commission.
In practice, if you buy through financial advisers they will keep the commission, so often it makes no difference to you. However, you may be able to negotiate a refund of part of the commission, or for some of the commission to be paid back by way of an increase in the starting value of your investment. Your room to negotiate will depend on the overall value of your business to the adviser. In the same way, you may be able to negotiate a discount even if you buy direct.
There are financial advisers specialising in discounts, but they rarely give much advice. Still, if you know exactly what you want, buying through a discount broker may well be cheaper than buying direct in response, for example, to a newspaper advertisement.
Discount brokers make their money from high volumes of low-margin business. With unit trusts and unit trust PEPs, the typical commission paid to an intermediary is 3 per cent. A discount broker might keep just 1 per cent and pass on the other 2 per cent to you. You can save significant sums - 2 per cent of a pounds 6,000 PEP investment , for instance, comes to pounds 120.
But the traditional investment business is also being challenged by the rise of direct sellers such as Virgin Direct. They have stripped out the cost of commission from their products - though be wary of "direct" sellers who still sell at old-fashioned prices. Usually, with direct sellers you can only buy direct, and not through an intermediary.
Direct sellers can be cheaper, but while they don't pay commission they do have very different marketing or advertising costs instead. One way or another - perhaps through the annual charge - these costs have to be borne by the customer.
In March 1985 I drew up two deeds of covenant with my two children as beneficiaries. The covenants did not start paying out until 1993 and 1995. My non-taxpaying son - the beneficiary of the first covenant - was for two years able to claim back the basic-rate income tax I had paid on the money I had covenanted to him. But now the Inland Revenue says that both my son and daughter (the beneficiary of the second covenant) cannot reclaim tax. I thought legislation could not be retrospective and that the tax office must honour both claims for a rebate. What do you think?
BE, Powys
Unfortunately, your tax office is right. New covenants to individuals (as opposed to charities) ceased to have any tax advantages after the 1988 Budget. Originally, covenants already in place were unaffected. But even these lost their tax advantage from 6 April 1995 under a clause in the Finance Act 1995.
Tax rules and rates can always be changed in the annual Budget (and subsequent Finance Act) in a way that can foul up earlier financial decisions.
For example, home owners - especially those who pay higher-rate tax - probably have good grounds for feeling aggrieved that reductions in mortgage tax relief apply to existing as well as to new borrowers.
That said, arguably the change to the covenant rules was not retrospective, and would have been so only if it had applied to any tax years before April 1995.

The SFFaudio Podcast #345 – READALONG: Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon
Filed under: Podcasts
The SFFaudio Podcast #345 – Jesse, Paul Weimer, Bryan Alexander, and Professor Eric S. Rabkin talk about the Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon.
Talked about on today's show:
1937, Jesse has a radical thesis, is this book a true story?, I'm not really happy I just think that I am, Alice In Acidland, drugs, what do we mean by true?, arachnoids and ikthyoids, a summary of Last And First Men, the unnamed narrator, astral projection, the contents of this book, not history but a personal experience (of imagination), standing on a hill, an interesting fantasia, considering the size of the universe, Star Trek with Nazi costumes is possible and perhaps even inevitable, The Truman Show, the nature of infinity, an Italian who would be perfectly happy to use the word true about this book, "Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark.", bitterness, Dante Alighieri, a lyric poem, Olaf Stapledon was a philosopher, a blazing panoply, an image of the rose, OS, "One night when I had tasted bitterness I went out on to the hill.", an abiding faith, the original meaning of comedy, comedies end in marriage, sitcoms, both narrators acknowledge their psychological state, an exponential rhythm, overhead obscurities in flight, a Doppler shift, the other Earth, Bvalltu, a composite character, planets – > solar systems -> galaxies, a fractal experience, an encompassing wisdom, marriage as a small atom of community, spirit inhabited rock, a World War I novel, 1986, Eric taught Star Maker to Bryan, memories imbricated upon each other, the preface, Stapledon was an ambulance driver in WWI, looming WWII, militarism, seeing the sunny side of a ruined planet, Merseyside, too smashed up to really be alive, a 1930s novel, fascism vs. communism, how to organize the self and society, a secular myth, a shock to civilization, the cycle of mechanization, terrible mutations, the onset of the tank, a sense of horror, WWI and WWII as two different episodes, the Spanish Civil War, shaking off colonialism, materialistic industrialization, the only wait out is an act of faith, how can we not think of the Star Maker as a monster, "struck dumb with shame", limitations of the audio medium, Bryan's keyboard, C.S. Lewis, why C.S. Lewis didn't like Star Maker, a Lewis-nemesis, crusades, the Great War on Terror (2 decades old), mindless religious violence, anticipations of subsequent Science Fiction, The High Crusade by Poul Anderson, two 20th century philosophies, Freud and Marx, neurosis and sublimation, genitals with sense organs, radio pornography, the feelies from Brave New World, crisis of labour, ideologies as philosophical artifacts, not Dave Singer, separated by space and time, supplementary parentheses, adduction of Christianity, three linked universes, playing for the souls of the creatures, a timeless heaven and a timeless hell, Earth, Mars, and Venus in C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, suffering for the redemption of the Earth, explicitly not a Christian view, C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy as a response to a paragraph in Star Maker, all the Christs of all the worlds, "a basket of Christs", this is Arthur C. Clarke, a tour of Science Fiction in the future, this is The Mote In God's Eye, The High Crusade, the novel itself is a universe, cosmos vs. universe, Jesse's theory about the Game Of Thrones universe in the TV show, what Clarke does this in slight watercolours Stapledon paints in bold oils on a massive canvas, Arthur C. Clarke's life changing moment, copying out the scales of magnitude, Bryan's son, encapsulating, it is Stapledon, Dante is Dante in The Divine Comedy, The Divine Comedy as political revenge, Niven and Pournelle's Inferno, Stapledon is not a punishment guy, when Lovecraft looks out of the universe…, when Stapledon looks at the same vista he's not as melancholy about it, The Cats Of Ulthar, contemporaries, philosophical horror, long distance psychology, like Poe, fairy tales, handling fears, we get to feel, this is an education effort, quite special, a genre issue, the roller-coaster moment, looking at the vocabulary, eldritch and ichor, lucidity, feeling, the etymology of the word "vermin",
I reflected that not one of the visible features of this celestial and
living gem revealed the presence of man. Displayed before me, though
invisible, were some of the most congested centers of human population.
There below me lay huge industrial regions, blackening the air with
smoke. Yet all this thronging life and humanly momentous enterprise had
made no mark whatever on the features of the planet. From this high
look-out the Earth would have appeared no different before the dawn of
man. No visiting angel, or explorer from another planet, could have
guessed that this bland orb teemed with vermin, with world-mastering,
self-torturing, incipiently angelic beasts.
the stellar wars, too lucid for more tribal patterns, sympsychic partnership, angelic vermin, more real than all the stars, like two close trees grown together, difference can be strength, the Orson Welles radio version of The War Of The Worlds, versus the Martians our differences don't make a hill's worth of difference, The Lord Of The Rings, looking for the Ents and the Entwives, there are Ents in Star Maker, the holy sex transmission that never got off, the ships worlds,
It was a strange experience to enter the mind of an intelligent ship to
see the foam circling under one's own nose as the vessel plunged through
the waves, to taste the bitter or delicious currents streaming past
one's flanks, to feel the pressure of air on the sails as one beat up
against the breeze, to hear beneath the water-line the rush and murmur
of distant shoals of fishes, and indeed actually to hear the
sea-bottom's configuration by means of the echoes that it cast up to the
under-water ears. It was strange and terrifying to be caught in a
hurricane, to feel the masts straining and the sails threatening to
split, while the hull was battered by the small but furious waves of
that massive planet. It was strange, too, to watch other great living
ships, as they plowed their way, heeled over, adjusted the set of their
yellow or russet sails to the wind's variations; and very strange it was
to realize that these were not man-made objects but themselves conscious
and purposeful.
Sometimes we saw two of the living ships fighting, tearing at one
another's sails with snake-like tentacles, stabbing at one another's
soft "decks" with metal knives, or at a distance firing at one another
with cannon. Bewildering and delightful it was to feel in the presence
of a slim female clipper the longing for contact, and to carry out with
her on the high seas the tacking and yawing, the piratical pursuit and
overhauling, the delicate, fleeting caress of tentacles, which formed
the love-play of this race. Strange, to come up alongside, close-hauled,
grapple her to one's flank, and board her with sexual invasion. It was
charming, too, to see a mother ship attended by her children. I should
mention, by the way, that at birth the young were launched from the
mother's decks like little boats, one from the port side, one from the
starboard. Thenceforth they were suckled at her flanks. In play they
swam about her like ducklings, or spread their immature sails. In rough
weather and for long voyaging they were taken aboard. At the time of our
visit natural sails were beginning to be aided by a power unit and
propeller which were fixed to the stern.
nothing like this in Science Fiction, Lloyd Abbey's The Last Whales, an elegiac book, another sub-genre of Kindle based pornography, much of William Wordsworth's poetry is admired too simply, Eric reads Lines Composed Upon Westminster Bridge, the houses with windows like sleeping eyes, watching the lives of dreams, the houses are sleeping not the people within them, the smokeless air, lying still, what makes the beauty, The World Is Too Much With Us, a cry for God, Fungi From Yuggoth (IX): The Courtyard by H.P. Lovecraft:
It was the city I had known before;
The ancient, leprous town where mongrel throngs
Chant to strange gods, and beat unhallowed gongs
In crypts beneath foul alleys near the shore.
The rotting, fish-eyed houses leered at me
From where they leaned, drunk and half-animate,
As edging through the filth I passed the gate
To the black courtyard where the man would be.
The dark walls closed me in, and loud I cursed
That ever I had come to such a den,
When suddenly a score of windows burst
Into wild light, and swarmed with dancing men:
Mad, soundless revels of the dragging dead—
And not a corpse had either hands or head!
deemed unfit, body horror, Robert E. Howard, M.R. James, ever more capacious mentalities, being taught by groups, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode The Inner Light, The Horla by Guy de Maupassant as a horrible version of this, Passengers by Robert Silverberg, Boneland by Jeffrey Thomas, from a microscopic perspective, these things pass, bodyless timelords, a swarm of locusts, eugenics, Chapter 9, cultural and eugenical means, The King In Yellow (The Repairer Of Reputations) by Robert W. Chambers, the lethal chamber, Futurama, Providence, Alan Moore, criticism of Moore, turning everything Lovecraft hates into love, Last And First Men was a bestseller in 1930, the fifth generation, the Martian hive-mind, what is the moral ideal that Stapledon hopes that we move toward?, individuality in community, a literary allusion, a race on Venus, from epoch to epoch, that scaling thing again, the problem with fascism, fasces, is this a Darwinian book?, parasitism, symbiosis, evolution, Marx dedicated Capital to Darwin, getting rid of Harper, mutual aid, The World, the Flesh & the Devil by J.D.

Toynbee, future histories, we could see if we were lucid, a great Götterdämmerung moment, the Russian civil war, The White Goddess, The Golden Bough, subsequent Science Fiction, for those who haven't yet read the book…, the most disliked and most liked book, what kind of a novel is this?, an epic poem crossed with a lyric poem, erroneous expectations, feel better about your fishwife and your step children, back to Lovecraft, a writer of ideas, Odd John and Sirius are more like regular novels, Jack London's Star Rover, more swords fewer wives, Frank Herbert, God Emperor Of Dune, when you frame it that way…, Accelerando by Charles Stross, full time IT professionals writing SF, Ted Chiang and Cory Doctorow, Ted Chiang can do anything, lapidary, Jorges Luis Borges wrote an introduction for Star Marker, A Story Between Jest and Earnest, Love and Discord.

The SFFaudio Podcast #206 – READALONG: Seven Nebula Nominated Short Stories
Filed under: Podcasts
The SFFaudio Podcast #206 – Scott and Jenny talk about the seven short stories nominated for the Nebula Award.
Talked about on today's show:
Seven nominated stories for the Nebula Award. Why so many? Some of the stories have themes in common. Scott wasn't enamored by any of the seven (but it gets better with the discussion). All of them are free online, and all except "Nanny's Day" are also available in audio (see links below).
Robot by Helena Bell (Clarkesworld 9/12) |audio version read by Cat Rambo| Scott's favorite part is the very beginning: "You may wash your aluminum chassis on Monday and leave it on the back porch opposite the recyclables…don't eat the dead flesh of my right foot until after I have fallen asleep and cannot hear the whir of your incisors working against the bone."
Immersion by Aliette de Bodard (Clarkesworld 6/12) |audio version read by Kate Baker| The story takes place in a restaurant, and the author likes to cook. Scott said this isn't her first nomination. (Shipbirth was nominated last year , but we excluded it from our short story discussion at the time since it was not available in audio; "The Jaguar House, in Shadow" in the novella category for the Nebula and the Hugo in 2010.) Reminds Scott of The Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. Enjoying Kate Baker's reading.
Fragmentation, or Ten Thousand Goodbyes by Tom Crosshill (Clarkesworld 4/12) |audio version read by Kate Baker| Author of "Mama, We are Zhenya, YourSon" |OUR READALONG| First line: "Every day, Mom says goodbye to me for the last time." Stories grow in talking about them.
Nanny's Day by Leah Cypess (Asimov's 3/12)
Scott's first would be Jenny's last, and Scott is surprised to like it so much when it isn't even really science fiction!
Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream by Maria Dahvana Headley (Lightspeed 7/12) |audio version read by Gabrielle de Cuir| "Everyone knows that forever is, and has always been, a magic word. Forever isn't always something one would choose, given all the information." Scott says It's a both-and. Jenny says this is why love is hard.
The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species by Ken Liu (Lightspeed 8/12). |audio version read by Stefan Rudnicki| We agree this story is missing its story, but are intrigued by the people and world created.
Five Ways to Fall in Love on Planet Porcelain by Cat Rambo |audio version|
Five things Jenny loves about this story:
- The creatures – chimmerees and limentia, like jellyfish floating on the wind.
- "She'd lain awake in the darkness, checking her mind with the same care. Were there any sorrows, any passions that might lead her thoughts along the same groove till it gave, eroded into madness?"
- Sound garden, but can it dissolve your insides to dust?
- Frozen orgasms
- "There were more interesting worlds in the multi-verse, she knew. Paper dolls, and talking purple griffons. Intelligent rainbows and everyone's favorite, the Chocolate Universe. She shrugged." Jenny wants to visit ALL these worlds.
Other discussion:
Hugo Award nominees will be announced before this episode posts and we both vote! – Embassytown by China Miéville The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord – what is "hard" science fiction? Scott is tired of "stories in space" that aren't really science fiction. Nominations can be quite a mystery.

text: Information Overload is Filter Failure, Says ShirkyGina Trapani9/22/08 4:00amFiled to: Information overloadClips17EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Technologist Clay Shirky argues that information overload isn't the problem tech journalism makes it out to be: it's really a failure of information filters. At the Web 2.0 Expo last week, Shirky said that the internet has made it easier and cheaper for publishers to broadcast information—so now the onus is on the consumer to filter out the noise (much like client-side spam filters). Hit the play button below to hear Shirky's well-argued points. Do you think "information overload" is just another excuse for why folks aren't getting things done? What kind of filters do you have in place to keep yourself from getting snowed under? Let us know in the comments. Advertisement Clay Shirky (shirky.com) It's Not Information Overload.

Cyrus undecided on making up with O'Connor
Miley Cyrus says she's not sure she'll make up with Sinead O'Connor after the back-and-forth drama between the singers.
When asked in an interview Tuesday if she and the 46-year-old performer would kiss and make up, Cyrus replied with: "I don't know. Are we supposed to kiss?"
Cyrus made the comments in New York when meeting fans at a CD signing for her new album, "Bangerz," released Tuesday.
The drama launched last week when the Irish chanteuse warned the young singer to avoid being sexually exploited by the music industry. The first open letter came after Cyrus said her "Wrecking Ball" video, where she is nude and licks a sledgehammer, was inspired by O'Connor's famous "Nothing Compares 2 U."
Cyrus responded on Twitter by mentioning O'Connor's struggles with bipolar disorder and compared the singer-songwriter to troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who has been treated in a psychiatric hospital.
The feud between the performers continued Tuesday when O'Connor published a fourth open letter to Cyrus, asking for an apology.
McCartney, students celebrate anniversary
Paul McCartney has celebrated his second wedding anniversary with his wife and a few hundred New York City high school students.
The 71-year-old performed Wednesday at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, which was opened by Tony Bennett in Queens in 2001.
McCartney said, "Happy anniversary, Baby," to Nancy Shevell before going into his latest song, called "New." He said the song was inspired by his wife.
The event with iHeartRadio was to celebrate McCartney's newly released album, also called "New."
One student asked McCartney when he felt he officially made it in the music industry. McCartney said when the Beatles recorded their first single, "Love Me Do."
The students cheered, and McCartney said: "You shouldn't know about that."
Jonas Brothers cancel tour
The Jonas Brothers have canceled their upcoming tour over creative differences.
Brothers Joe, Kevin and Nick were scheduled to begin their 19-date tour Friday in Upper Darby, Pa. Spokesman Jesse Derris confirmed the cancellation and said fans can get a refund at the point of purchase.
The group tweeted about the tour as recently as Tuesday, posting a picture of a poster for the Pennsylvania stop.
The New Jersey trio shot to fame in 2007 with the release of their self-titled debut. They had been scheduled to release their first album since 2009 soon, but the future of that project is unclear.
People magazine first reported the cancellation.
Panettiere, Klitschko engaged
"Nashville" star Hayden Panettiere is confirming her engagement to Olympic boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
Appearing on Wednesday's "Live With Kelly and Michael," the 24-year-old actress was flashing a large diamond ring that prompted host Kelly Ripa to inquire what it might signify.
Panettiere confirmed she's engaged. She added that she and longtime boyfriend Klitschko haven't set a wedding date.
Panettiere made her entrance on the show wearing a huge, live boa constrictor meant to startle host Michael Strahan, who is not a snake fancier.
Clearly Panettiere's ring, and big news, upstaged even her pet reptile.
Uruguay's president meets Aerosmith
American rockers Aerosmith are fans of Uruguayan leader Jose Mujica, the colorful former guerrilla dubbed "the world's poorest president."
But the 78-year-old Mujica can't say the same of Aerosmith, admitting after meeting with band members that he hadn't heard any of their songs.
The rockers met with Mujica in Uruguay's government house Tuesday, a day before Aerosmith's concert in Montevideo that is part of a Latin American tour.
The band gave the president a signed electric guitar. Frontman Steven Tyler said they consider Mujica one of the best presidents in the Americas.
"We believe in what he says," Tyler said. "Your president fights for freedom, and we also fight for freedom through music."
Mujica, a former leftist Tupamaro guerrilla, spent 14 years in prison and endured torture and solitary confinement.
As a politician, Mujica became known for his cantankerous personality, homespun oratory and insistence on keeping his life simple.

All quotes tagged Regret
(1009 quotes found)

"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he'd always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret."
"I have no regrets. I wouldn't have lived my life the way I did if I was going to worry about what people were going to say."
"I have had a wonderful life. I have never regretted what I did. I regret things I didn't do. All my life I've done things at a moment's notice. Those are the things I remember. I was given courage, a sense of adventure and a little bit of humor. I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman."
"How often we recall, with regret, that Napoleon once shot at a magazine editor and missed him and killed a publisher. But we remember with charity that his intentions were good."
"There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention."

Chuck's right - when burrito'ing, you have to take care not to let paper
towel/seeds be more than damp (not wet) & make sure plastic baggies are
loosely folded so air can move freely. check them fairly often to make
sure they dont' dry out. I store burritos in the fridge in a large
<unzipped> ziplock bag.
After about a month at warmer fridge temperature (40 - 45oF), I start
checking weekly for germination. 2 months at colder temp (35 - 40oF).

That's not it. San Jose isn't much less expensive than SF. The construction to expand Moscone Center means there's no room for events. Read Question #1 in the FAQ.
If you can't run it on top of Emacs then it must be its own OS.
Lies. Cross-breeding can result in poisonous plants [boingboing.net], and the random nature of it makes it harder to control than GMO.
That's a pretty strange statement, considering a lot of lab-conducted GMO research is way less "high tech" than most people think. Often, it just involves taking a sample and blasting it with some form of radiation, or some chemical bath, to cause it to mutate. That's about at random as it comes. And even intentional attempts to splice specific genes involves a lot of trial and error. Once you have something you think is good, though, you just breed like with like.
TL;DR neither method of producing new species is particularly scarier than the other.
They also have done the Wall-building thingie a bit later, throughout the whole country and they even got the Russians to pay for it.
Correction: the Berlin Wall was throughout the whole city.
I was a fuck-up in high school. I took geometry three times. Later in life I picked it back up again, went through Algebra 2, trigonometry, and on to calculus, but I dropped out there because it all had become too time-consuming.
Ironically, I've never had any cause to use anything past geometry. Turns out geometry is pretty damn useful in real life
How do you know, by looking at your watch vs your phone, that the unknown phone calling you is not the hospital emergency room calling you because a loved one was just in an accident?
But if the phone is showing you an unknown number, how does that help you vs. seeing an unknown number on your watch?
Most newer car stereo systems have Bluetooth connectivity to your phone so you can see who is calling you and even answer the phone hands-free without ever touching your phone.
But that solution would require carrying a car stereo system to parties. Wearing a watch is less hassle.
It remains unclear what sort of impact this will have on the daily retail sale of the Oculus Rift headsets.
Probably none -- at least, not until after Oculus' appeal is heard.
Eh, the catch is that you need to have an active Facebook account. That's obvious, right? No need to go looking for some devious motive when the upside is staring you right in the face.
There are over 7 billion people on this planet, we can afford to lose a few, especially ones as dumb as this.
Ignoring for now the blatantly sociopathic nature of your comments, shouldn't it be the stupid person who suffers, and not the helpless child who depends upon that person for health care? Maybe the child isn't as stupid as the parent?
MongoDB grabbing lots of Oracle customers
Wait, what? Nice try. You almost had us.
1. If you have thousands of stored procs and/or other customizations (I've done a couple of custom aggregate functions that were pretty sweet).
This is a thing. People who write PHP scripts tend to think of a database as just a big closet where you store data until you need it again. You pull it back out and then you go do something with it (with PHP). But there's another school of app dev where any manipulations done on any stored data should be done by the database itself, and that the appropriate place to store that application logic is in stored procedures. There actually are good arguments to be made in favor of that type of design. But because pretty much nobody uses "standard SQL," it gets you locked into a given platform pretty quickly.
At this point you have to be mentally ill to develop anything new around Oracle and most of their business is legacy. They keep reporting double digit declines in new licenses.
You've hit the nail. They report declines in new licenses but they claim these are offset by gains in cloud subscriptions. What is Oracle's primary cloud IaaS product? Oracle Database hosted in Oracle's cloud. Now go back and reread TFA summary.
That stylus going over the record each time you play it? Yeah, that's degrading the signal. Every. Single. Time.
But only minimally so, unless you have a pretty crappy turntable, or one that's improperly aligned. The wear and tear on cassette tapes from playing them is greater than the wear and tear on records.
And the artwork isn't any better just because you print it on a larger piece of cardboard.
But that is not an empirically true statement, is it?
In addition to the larger artwork, I also enjoy having albums divided up into two or more sides, each with its own unique track listing. Believe it or not, songs don't play in the order they do just at random.
I also enjoy the various ways vinyl itself can be presented
I like the act of physically handling the records, pulling them in and out of sleeves, flipping them over, and so forth. Much more enjoyable than opening a tray and dropping a CD in
To me, playing records is an enjoyable activity. Firing up some MP3s, on the other hand, feels like an afterthought. It's just background noise.

Prevailing Wage Laws and Construction Labor Markets
Prevailing wage laws, which require that construction workers employed by private contractors on public projects be paid at least the wages and benefits that are "prevailing" for similar work in or near the locality in which the project is located, have been the focus of an extensive policy debate. We find that the relative wages of construction workers decline slightly after the repeal of a state prevailing wage law. However, the small overall impact of law repeal masks substantial differences in outcomes for different groups of construction employees. Repeal is associated with a sizeable reduction in the union wage premium and a significant narrowing of the black/nonblack wage differential for construction workers.
