   I don't know why they cost what they do, but black cab taxi fares are set by TfL and they can't charge any more or less. Here is the breakdown https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/taxis-and-minicabs/taxi-fares&#x2F

   Not moving to 64 bit has been a pragmatic decision [1]. As for crashing, I used it for over 10 years at my previous company and it never crashed once. At my current company it only crashes when I am using the Stylevision plug-in, which is r

   I am English, not American, so I may be misunderstanding this - but I believe sales tax might prove an incentive for some states to oppose any changes to their existing laws on this. As I understand it, local sales taxes are paid to the sta

   I think you're reading it slightly the wrong way. She wasn't necessarily saying the ideas helped her get through her mid-life crisis. It was getting interested in the link between Hume and buddhism that gave her a new purpose, and

    I've been using Password Safe for years. Nice to see verification that it is as secure as I thought it was.

    I would say that in all cases, any decision taken by the computer would probably be miles better than a decision made by a human driver in such a hypothetical situation. Firstly, the computer will have a much better overview of what's

    I know what you mean. Every time I try to cancel my Virgin Media land line, they offer me phone + internet for cheaper than just internet. And then over the term of the contract, the price seems to gradually go up and up :-( Still the best

    Yeah, good luck with that. Law enforcers find it incredibly useful to be able to remotely take over a (suspected) criminals vehicle and force it to stop, so they're hardly going to support a law that makes that impossible. And let&#x27

    I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I really enjoy reading articles on interesting subjects - even if they have no bearing on my own life. That's why I love HN, because you can find interesting articles on subjects that

    It's 'lose' not 'loose'. They even use the term 'lose their trademark' in the article. Sorry - can't rest whilst someone's wrong on the internet :-)

    Clever tricks are all well and good until they bite you on the ass. Using the || to provide default parameters is great until you want to use booleans. Take the following code: function f(x) { x = x || true; ...} Guess what x will be if you

    As both a cyclist and a driver, I agree with you to a point. However, the wife of an ex-colleague of mine cycles to work every day. She was knocked off her bike by a car one dark morning (luckily not hurt, just a bit shaken up). She had lig
