Hulu - watch any program any time. Aereo - watch what's over the air right now. Hulu - puts ads in the video Aereo - shows the ads that are over the air. Hulu - is like having everything on DVD Aereo - is like having a 50 mile extensio

Elon is a very smart guy. I think he was playing a bit dumb there on purpose. Probably a pull sales tactic. The more vague he is about what Vicarious does, the more everyone is going to be talking about it. Now instead of him having to

Bryan Hance has been doing great work on this front for a long time. When I was making software to monitor CL, he recommended the free version to his users that needed to be alerted when their bikes went on sale. I was glad to be able to

If you buy stolen property in the US, even if unaware, you must forfeit it when the owner or the police catch up with you. If you're aware, it's illegal. Better not buy that stolen bike then, huh? Even better, to call the proper

The first part about Keynes is depressing. It presupposes there is only one winner. This is what anti-capitalists want everyone to believe. One winner, everyone else is a loser.

You know what they say, 97% of statistics are made up ;) I of course picked an absurdly high number because even with two absurdly high numbers it still only nets 2%.

I think you have it backwards. I would like to be able to call the police to report an ACTUAL crime...but unfortunately, they would be too busy investigating reports by paranoid folks who think they've seen a possible crime.

>I have no idea how long he's been there. Calling the cops makes sense... So, everyone is assumed to have no common sense, only you have it and thus become the default enforcer despite, admitting, not knowing the situation?

Absolutely, yes.

I've thought long and hard about it... Still makes no difference. For it to make a difference you would have to leap to the conclusion that a woman stole the car, stole a kid (?), and then left the stolen car and the kid in the parkin

>Which means the thing with the Corvette? Probably wasn't a good idea in hindsight. My dad even thinks that now. Still the irony is that a corvette of that age isn't safe in an accident with any type of seat for any type of oc

Yeah, I knew kids that had dogs growing up. We all think it's safe, but alas, family dogs kill children. I guess we all suffer from that survivorship bias. The lesson here is anyone with a family dog should have their children taken

by IanDrake 12y ago
Seriously, this is my number one reason for not having kids. For the younger crowd who may not understand, I was born in '77: - I rode in the back hatch (no seats) of my dad's corvette until I was 8, cops would wave to us. - At 6

Thanks. Just read up on messaging and now I like it even less :( In Smalltalk and Objective-C, the target of a message is resolved at runtime, with the receiving object itself interpreting the message. ... A consequence of this is that t

My dislike is that it uses [] for method calls. It's like making Objective-English where we swap Z and A and j for o, just for the hell of it. If thzt sjunds like fun tj yju, thzn gj fjr Jboective-C.

It's not "unfair". This guy could have bought a place and had a fixed price for 30 years, but instead he didn't want exposure to real estate prices. He played the rental game and lost.

Typically people who don't own a gun don't have any training with guns. These same people also think that people who do have guns don't have any training as well. In fact, most people who own guns are well trained. I can al

I down voted this because most mentally ill people I know don't want "care". They don't want pills and they don't want to be normal. It's our bill of rights that prevents us from forcing help on these people a

Wow, scary stuff. I've been there with crazy people, alone, at night, at a T-stop in Boston. One thing you can do, is put your keys in your hand, and make a fist with the keys pointed outward from your knuckles. That will make punch

When it comes to unilateral actions, the president is mostly Commander in Chief of our military. Meaning, he could pull all our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq and close Gitmo tomorrow just by saying so. I assume he has similar command
