What incentives are offered so they don't leave?

Have you actually used the top-down to parallel park? I don't own a car with one of those rear-view cameras but am always fascinated to watch it. I worry I would trust it too much instead of what I'm used to.

Cross-overs are pretty popular. There was an article not too long ago about how they pretty much all blend in together. The Bolt looks more like European cars than what we imagine 'American' cars looking like (though that has chan

I did that throughout my early 20s. I'm still in regular contact with people I met 14-15 years ago. It takes effort for regular stuff. The only reason I keep my Facebook around is because it's a glorified address book and I'l

Thanks for the reply and perspective. I only helped support an arch/design firm in terms of CAD/Revit. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this earlier but it wasn't my job to make those decisions and, as much as it was

Not as big as standard architecture but landscape architecture still seems to be stuck in CAD world and relying on plugins to do its dirty work. It doesn't work out so well with Revit. So there's a market that could use a good pro

Yeah, I think they'll have to be on a faster cycle to justify the their new licensing scheme vs the old perpetual ones.

Things like this are why I love seeing articles / comments on HN telling kids not to go to college, to do trades, etc. Or when you overhear someone at a dinner party saying how they wish they could quit they're good-paying desk jo

This is a good point. We associate Italian food w/ pizza and pasta but traditional Spanish food with...paella? Rioja wine? There's nothing for the common person to really grasp w/ Spanish food unless they go to some sort of o

Learning about it in your twenties isn't late but par for the course in the US. Some get to it even later, after they've been burned or struggling. There's no required high school or university seminars on teaching people the

Just a note for OP or others reading that "Bogleheads" are those that follow a certain value investing philosophy from Vanguard founder John Bogle. For some basic investment literacy, it would not hurt to read "The Bogleheads

When they get their product to market, their might not be a market, at least in 3D cinema. 3D still exists, some are required to shoot in it or have it converted in post, but it seems more a strategy to capture more profit from non-American

Murch's book is great. I also found Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" useful in understanding how visual information can be conveyed.

So, if it's so revolutionary, why has it made it to a theater yet? Not to mention, I don't think Magic Leap has released any products.

That's ok. We can disagree without one of us storming out of a room.

by JBlue42 9y ago
I think that's cool that you're able to go to what seems like a version of an intellectual salon and have those talks. It seems that the person that stormed out wasn't as open-minded as some of the other participants. Sometim

Ha, thanks! I was just curious so took a wild guess.

It's difficult for two people to agree on something. See: your thread.

>This 300M+ logic is the perfect strawman for people who don't want to solve problems, because the population of the US is only comparable to few countries in population and they are not in a good position... Thank you. I hate when

We have slightly smaller, limited route buses in the DASH system here in LA. About 50c up front or 33c (or less) bought in advance.

Which is fine as long as that frequency is frequent enough that waiting people aren't suffering, right? There was a discussion on reddit recently talking about this issue in context of LA's buses. People don't mind if the bus

Yes, thank you. You pretty much echoed something John Scalzi said on his blog: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2017/11/12/a-qa-for-the-post-wei... It's a bit long but worth reading. At the end: "Dudes,

Not to mention that the money made doesn't exactly make up for some of the workers' lives ruined by that company. Already had posts on here recently describing the white collar sweatshop that games labor is.

I have a question about their safety. There is always people that bring up worries over some of the public sector pension schemes in the US and how it will affect a municipality. One example, IIRC, is in Chicago. Another typically revolves
