This boat is clearly a custom job.

To be clear, they didn't actually get paid 'tax free' (unless they have extraordinarily unique circumstances). They just got paid under the table.

No, Google was clear that he violated the code of conduct. Since it's plainly clear that he did, and since we can safely assume he's not a member of a protected class, any random assertion of retaliation will be thrown out. Any d

If you look at small-to-mid sized law (or other professional) firms in the Bay area, you see a lot that have 2 offices: One in FiDi, one in Walnut Creek (or somewhere similar). Guess where the partners are all spending any day that doesn&#

The problem with this is couples who get jobs in different edge cities (or buy/inherit a house then change jobs). I personally ended up in Pleasanton because I work in SV and my wife worked in Walnut Creek; public transit options aren

Did you miss the part where BART is packed every commute hour? There are huge numbers of people in Oakland and the rest of the east bay. But the most efficient transportation system is one that doesn't have huge rush hour stresses, i

Seing as this article is only about the length of a mid-sized Medium post, I see no reason for the annoying interface. Is this a modern version of using slides to increase clicks?

Neither page offered any sort of metric on what constitutes 'accurate'. so how do you know FitBit doesn't just have a lower standard than Apple does?

by Naritai 9y ago
There are 3 items on that list, and all 3 have been present in all of Fitbit's competitors for years. Even if Fitbit was first mover on these technologies, they've long since lost any unique ownership of any of these 3.

Still looking forward to you having dedicated emails for international business class tickets. I know the tickets won't be cheap that the total cash savings on cheap seats can be significant. Here's hoping!

by Naritai 9y ago
But the point has been made several times in this thread, it's not much cheaper. Unless you're referring to some Michelin-starred restaurant, it's quite possible to eat fast-casual for the same price of many of these kits (e

He may well be, in which case he's demonstrating that he doesn't understand that those self-driving cars are only making money for their owner when the meter is running, and so the owner will be interested in whatever model needs

I'll second that the issue is only semantics. Scheduling is not the same thing as storage, but it _has the same effect on the grid_.

Yeah, I would guess 'lint buildup would impact airflow through the lint screen, which would be easily monitored.

right, which means a fire alarm is a perfectly good method of alerting a nearby human of a problem.

Yeah but, not unlike in the car industry, reliability is a 'good enough' metric for many purchasers. That is to say, beyond some minimum assurance of execution, further improvments in that metric do not further improve the probab

Not quite, as ULA was also operating under capitalism, yet clearly cared not a whit for minimizing the government's resources. Non-monopolistic capitalism is a closer description.

While I understand your argument, your anecdote lacks causality. That fancy new high rise was coming now matter how what McDonald's was paying.

I like how the first 2 comments here say that: 1) online sales are destroying in-person bike retail 2) in-person bike retail can never be replaced by online sales.

It's rare here too (Bay area), but one day my wife forgot her wallet at home, and had to find a station that took Apple Pay in order to fill up to get home again. She found one and is now an Apple Pay convert.

Yes, I think we agree. Thank you for the additional info / detail.

This is a great example, though, of why 'EBITDA' is such a terrible metric of profitability. Depreciation (which is the way this rail car certification would likely be accounted for) is a real (if deferred) cost.

This seems like a modern version of the old claim "Inuit have 100+ words for snow". I've found that's true for most of the claims of "X language has Y words for concept Z!!!" Inevitably it comes down to one of

Especially now that some pumps accept NFC (Apple Pay etc), I have no idea how it could be faster to go inside.

The most logical conclusion is that Canada Post doesn't think it'll take anywhere near 8 hours to finish the daily route.

It doesn't say 400,000 viewers per hour. Rather, it could be interpreted to say that an average day has a maximum peak viewership of 400,000.

I noticed the coffee shop near my university replaced their tables with tiny little things that cannot properly hold up a laptop. I'm quite sure that was the intent.

Maybe, except all evidence is that the restaurant industry is not reproducible year over year. Trends change, a new competitor opens down the block, or maybe the big employer across the street announces layoffs spurring customers to rethin
