Yahoo news is trash and has been trash for a long time. Especially since they abolished comments. I used to skim their articles and get to the comments to see what was really up. Once they eliminated those, it wasn’t worth even skimming.

I remember those days too.

Today, if I go to a "news" site, the first thing I do is look at the comments section, and if there isn't one, I leave.

If a "journalist" doesn't accept feedback, they aren't a journalist, they are a propagandist. Yahoo went to uselessness once they got rid of comments and all their stories were kind of crap anyhow.

Shaman says

But then I’ve had a yahoo mail account for the last 33 years. Holy shit I am old now.

Wow, I think you got a yahoo account before I did.

Wow, I suppose that's actually possible. Amazing.

I got the patrick.net domain name in 1995, which is 27 years ago.

Why did you go with .net instead of .com? Was it taken already?

Yup, patrick.com was taken 1995-08-16T04:00:00Z

I got patrick.net on 1995-10-03T04:00:00Z

Got those UTC timestamps from "whois" records if you're familiar with that.

Having blacks in your neighborhood does bring down housing values, so this seems reasonable to me.

Interestingly, that is one of the reasons they are suing for a faulty appraisal is that one of the comps was in a different neighborhood...
In Lanham’s appraisal, he selected three homes with values ranging from $435,000 to $545,000 (a fourth comparable, which sold for $650,000, was ultimately not used in his valuation).
The first home used, the complaint argues, would be considered a “fixer-upper,” which the home of Connolly and Mott is not. The second was outside the boundaries of the Homeland neighborhood, amid a majority-Black census block of homes.

A hunger strike for 7 years?

I'm a little suspicious about that claim.

@Patrick - you need a spam button or something.

Hey Basta**, Are you complaining that Hindus accept gays and that is somehow wrong?

You shared a picture before Aiyappa is born from SHiva and Mohini. Mohini is avatar of Vishnu. But basta** dont know the difference between rape and sex. Because they are confused at their own origin.

Let's not get personal.

@FarmersWon I have to say I do not hear any Hindus insulting Sikhs on this site.

C'mon, don't just say no, but try to think of ways to improve the idea.

Whenever you are stuck on how to improve a product or service, the never fails strategy is.....

Why don't you have legal advice and other paid advice on this site? I would totally pay for that, $1-$10 per answer if I had a specific question that somebody could answer. You could probably extend it to many sectors. It's sometimes easier to get money for specific needs vs offering something beforehand

Thanks @mell that is a good idea, but legal advice in particular is hazardous, because the lawyer lobby ruthlessly prosecutes anyone offering advice outside of their official channels. Threatens lawyer revenue and power, and is therefore illegal.

But I like this general idea of post a question and offer to pay for an answer. How would that work exactly? It kind of flips the script on what I have now. Instead of first posting something and asking for payment for it, you would post a question and offer to pay for an answer.

How would you ensure quality of the answers you pay for? You would probably want to know the answer before deciding whether to pay, to weed out the non-answers and scams. I suppose you could offer to tip for a good answer, but then the risk is on the side of someone composing a good answer.

Is there a way to share risk between the asker and the answerer?

There should be zero risk if there is a disclaimer saying answers are for informational/entertainment purposes only amd not actual legal advice.

Could your awnsers pay you a small fee to be verified? For example I send you my resume with my background and you validate that background permits me to awnser a specifix type of quesrion.
(For example I can awnser any process / chemical / environmental engineering questions that may come up.)

Users in turn pay a small fee to ask questions of your database of experts

hmm is there a way to make this provide value better than LinkedIn?

mell says

I mean that there is a risk to you if you pay for an answer before seeing it. The answer might be crap.

And in the other direction, if you demand to see the answer before paying, the person who answered has the risk of not getting paid for a good answer.

That's fine, I would take that risk paying before. What I meant is there is no risk of "experts" suing you as long as there is a disclaimer. Also you could make it 50 % before and the other 50% if the client is satisfied with the answer.

If it's patrick.net, I don't really know how to validate someone's resume without doing a lot of work. One of my college jobs was in the HR room at Bechtel in Ann Arbor, where they had a staff of several people who would literally validate every line on every incoming resume for nuclear power plant jobs. We had one older guy with a degree from Germany and tried to validate it, but his records had been destroyed in WWII.

I'm not entirely sure of that. Need to ask a lawyer! Lol.

But the general idea of registered experts answering questions seems validated by the existence of https://go.experts-exchange.com/

Thing is, they demand a monthly subscription fee, which is bad. I think paying per answer is better.

Totally and the ones out there are mostly scams that lure you with a $5 answer into a monthly membership and then constantly bill your card for stuff you didn't sign up for. For that reason I have to do at least a 15-30 minute session withy family law attorney everything I have a specific question. And the hourly rate is $375. Isn't zipper hunter tits some sort of lawyer? There must be a lawyer on patnet lol

You may have already seen my resume!

Is "you" patrick.net or the person asking the question?

If it's patrick.net, I don't really know how to validate someone's resume without doing a lot of work.

The "you" was patrick.net. I'm thinking a model where the expert pays a nominal amount to have their info listed initally. Then anyone with a question pays a fee (per question) to ask (and get) an awnser. A bit of the questioners fee to you and a portion to the expert who awnsers the best?

If verifying info is too hard then it could always be on a "buyer beware" basis.

I'd have to think this through more. But it's an intriguing concept.

@Patrick, I would offer a resume scanning service, with the added benefit of YOU being a computer guy, and searching for they keywords and other shit the Employers TRULY want for a candidate based on a role.

Something you'd be a lot better at than some 30 something Gender Studies HR Twat. "Oh, I didn't see some ultraspecific keyword, so I didn't pick this resume" when the person listed a synonym or similar skillset YOU or YOUR system would have picked out.

You could also offer a discount for non-H1B requests, that is, companies that hire American citizens get the service cheaper/no cost.

This would be particularly helpful for 20-200 person companies whose primary business isn't IT, but one of their critical systems require specific IT knowledge.

I recommend https://www.onetonline.org/

Every HR flunky uses the keywords from this site. Our own fucking taxes pay for this shit. Craft all your resumes using onet's keywords.

I mean, cerealously, where do you think the HR fuckups get their info? It fucking blew my mind when I discovered that there's a public site out there that does ALL an HR flunky's work for them. They truly are the most useless pieces of shit in the corporate world.

To prove you wrong.
Also I want you to prove it to me that diversity cause more poverty looking at this table.
Typically per capita is best measure of successful society as poverty is bad for almost all aspects of lives.

I say "lack of rule of law and disrespect for labor/capital" will kill any society. Diversity doesn't seem to have any correlation.
You get a thuggish government and you are dead no matter diversity.. and in some respects diversity will act against formation of thuggish government due to fear of over reach by one group.

Wrong, people are pitted against each other.

What do other cultures have to offer white people? This?

I am Naziphobe and feels great about it.
Nazis must be banned worldwide. Hindu Nazis are big problem and must be tackled.

You obviously have not heard…Nazi lives matter, no lives matter until nazi lives matter. it is understandable that not everyone is ready to become ally of nazi+ community, and just needs a little time to work it out.
