In 2009 it was definitely seen as unusual not to participate. In my experience by around 2014 people had stopped asking "why" when learning I didn't have facebook. I think the desire to be "free of it" for the vario

It depends on the IP clauses in your contract. A common stipulation is that they own everything you do on company time or resources unless you file specific exceptions. Given that this was a hack week project for the company, if your contra

I would agree. For subaru, the Impreza wagon would qualify. Audi A3 hatch, VW golf/GTI/R, hyundai veloster, ford fiesta, arguably the newer civics, etc.

I was also surprised to see no mention of hatchbacks ("hot hatch" if you're so inclined). They're filling a really important sedan-like role that crossovers and SUVs are too bulky to achieve.

I can't imagine they wouldn't be. There's a lot of gray/black money in bitcoin, and it has to get on the grid somehow. A debit card you can spend anywhere is a dream come true for that.

I've noticed that the trend is to change the h1 on the page, but not the <title> element or URL slug. This avoids the major SEO hit of the first-scraped title suddenly going nowhere. Presumably the search engines consider one url
