Also trucks have to pull over at weigh stations all the time, and when there are no weigh stations they'll often be pulled over by troopers to check their weight.

With the tiny amount of details provided, we can't even begin to offer suggestions. When it comes to VoIP stuff though I always lean towards Twilio-but once again, it entirely depends on what you want to do.

Yes, they're all ridiculous. Also their licensing model is so hideously complex even different license advisors from Microsoft will give you different answers as to what you need. The only way you feel comfortable being fully in compli

This is a non-story. If you've ever sent a link via Google Chat you would have witnessed the same behavior-before the link is delivered it will often be loaded by a google crawler who will check it for malicious content. I'm sure

Nope. We're seeing only upsides (well except MailChimp's online email designer is light years ahead of the alternatives). One of our huge wins (other than price) was delivery times-we saw a distribution time for 300k emails drop f

We switched from MailChimp to SES+Email Octopus. EO gives us the layout+list management stuff we needed, and SES gave us a huge drop in mail sending cost. The costs we were dealing with though was a lot higher-our small list has over 100k p

Weirdly, I'd be a lot more careful when selecting a dog walker than a person that has me in a (potentially) locked car.

I met my wife online. The first time I ever saw her was when I drove 3 hours to meet her. She is black and I’m not. Prior to dating online I would have probably not dated a black girl, but because of the internet I had the best thing that e

There’s a ton of stuff around that though. Tens of thousands of paying customers need support. Credit card teams. Data center guys. Guys to right deployment tools. Security guys to monitor the credit card system. Hacking together a proof of

At least in the United States, this is incorrect. Long haul trucking is expensive compared to shipping things via the rails. The reason things end up being shipped via truck is that its faster, plain and simple. Shipping via rail car is slo

I'll outright say it-an endangered animal's life is more valuable then a randomly selected human's. You could kill 10 or 100 humans for each of an endangered species and make no (net) difference in the ability of the human ra

I know my dogs are. They get lean meat and veggies and very few empty sugars and carbohydrates. They're lean and in excellent health for their age. Me? Very much the opposite.

My dogs get human grade food. None of this 'maybe good enough for people' stuff. They get real meat and vegetables that are in a recognizable form. They also don't get table scraps. This means my dogs aren't eating dodgy

Gawker didn't 'out' Peter Thiel. Everyone in the valley had known for years that he was gay. They posted a link to his public tumblr account that showed him cavorting with young men in exotic locales.

Well no kidding. You don't need to be a genius to see that housing costs in big cities have outstripped wage growth by a large margin for many years. Housing costs outside of the big population centers have grown at a much more reasona

Strong words. Usually when Linus ways in so strongly on a topic he's pretty certain of his take on it-it'll be interesting to see if there's further discussion on both ends.

The car companies are all perusing self driving technology. It's realistically years and years out. If uber hoovers up the drivers now, there won't be (in wide spread consumer perception) competition in the future because uber wil

1) Support the self driving thing for another round of funding, then stuff it. I agree with someone else in the thread-its too blue sky now to be wasting money on. Let other companies chase it into the ground then license it when its commer

Yes. We teach kids to answer to authority figures with no resistance and no self reliance. Everything is scheduled for them, all conflict is 'resolved' by others. There's no room for personal growth or developing resiliency.

That wasn't a story, it was a ton of words on who won't be the new CEO of Uber and complaints about their board.

The attitude in this blog post is exactly the kind of attitude that drives users and developers away. Ramming the Store down desktop users throats isn't exactly customer focused.

Nope. We know they're invasive and that they upset the balance the Lakes are used to. We have to assume that's not great but we're all just trying to do what we can to not upset the Apple cart.

You're talking about the zebra mussel. I'm good friends with a bunch of very dedicated folks who are employed to protect the lakes (the Great Lakes that is). The zebra mussel was a terrible invasive species but isn't nearly a
