I'm in a rural area with literally zero street illumination. I cannot begin to describe my frustration with the blue tint, ultra bright lights, and off-road LED light bars. Install those on every other lifted truck (redneck's a pl

Do you think that the owner(s) of the hotels shouldn't be compensated for the risk that they're taking by building and operating the property? There's a ton of risk associated with investing like that.

I pay for recurring stuff with a CC for this very reason. I had an insurance company refuse to cancel my insurance unless I physically came into their office all the way across town (would have been about two hours of my time when it was al

It seems less than coincidental that your second poll was in the late 80's when the crack epidemic was in full swing. Parallel that to the opiate of now, and I think the dramatic swing can be normalized quite a lot.

That may be the case in an "emergency" that threatens your life. But if you come to the ER with something that doesn't fall into that category? Something life changing like a detached tendon in your hand that will* render you

It seems like a perfect pairing given the rise of the "fitness trackers" that are so popular. They could build vastly better risk models for [to sell to] the insurance companies with access to "anonymous" health history

And I, as an informed consumer, acknowledge that the my electronic devices are not going to last more than a few years due to either mechanical failure and/or processing limitations. To counter this, I don't buy the latest and gre

Am I the only one who finds it endlessly annoying to refer to anything that's primarily (or exclusively) powered by a battery as "green" or "emissions free" or "pollution free" or anything else? What about

I'm not sorry to say that Candy Japan will never see any of my money for the simple fact that there's no way that I'll sign up for anything that expects a recurring charge. The whole "service" attitude is flawed in

We should resist this by wasting as much time as humanly possible. How about carrying multiple data devices with brute force able encryption for meaningless data? Encrypted linux ISOs, 8051 datasheets, trivial C programs, etc. There's

I was in a very popular bar with a group of friends one rather busy Friday / Saturday night. They were playing all kinds of great music and the crowd was thoroughly enjoying it until somebody* played Wham - Careless Whisper. I have viv

My account (US, MN) with Virgin Mobile is already doing this with "free" streaming music. A hand full of apps (Pandora, iHeartRadio, Slacker, 8tracks and Milk Music) don't count towards the monthly data cap.

Bullshit. This should be removed from HN. That first link about "US Software" is NSFW to say the least.

S!=aS. I can't think of many instances where I'd pay a recurring fee for the use of a piece of code. Code to me is an end-product, meaning, I buy it then I own it in perpetuity. I still have my copy of XP from the Paleozoic era bu

Not a chance I'd use this "service" for any purpose much less install any kind of "smart" lock on my primary residence. A place used for AirBnB, maybe I'd use a more featured lock but never at my home.

I make the argument that the majority of our interactions with law enforcement (for those of us who are otherwise generally well mannered) stem from some driving related instance. This is the true pathway for most of us to get tangled up in

A blower door test is a great measure of a homes energy efficiency and it's quite cheap to have done. Not sure if YT links are OK but check out Matt Risinger Blower Door Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msZ_E-4GFs8
