When I was a kid most people in my neighborhood didn't have a TV in their living room either. It would have been too casual. The TV was in a "den" or "family room" and the living room was the formal room where the a

Blu Homes (from their website) are from $200K - $550K. That might sound cheap in some areas but if you're comparing to a traditional "manufactured home" it's close to an order of magnitude higher.

It's about 4x what I'd ever consider spending on a phone. But so what? Apple has decided not to pursue buyers like me. They will sell their $800+ phones, and make money, and employ a lot of people.

Loved mailgun when I was using it a few years ago for some small campaigns. Unfortunately the free tier service had a big problem with server reputation. A noticable amount of emails were spam-flagged or rejected by recipient systems. Not s

Assuming https, the querystring is encrypted, so should be safe in transit. Could show up in server logs though, I'd think. The server can log a lot of things though, depending how it's configured.

Downshifting a manual transmission to slow down does not activate the brake lights, so not sure this would need to.

Winter temperatures are just something people should be aware of if they're thinking about electric cars. If you live in a place that often has extreme cold during the winter, an electric vehicle may not be your best choice. Any vehicl

Fuel cost won't remain minimal in this envisioned all-EV future. Governments will need to make up the fuel tax revenue somehow.

Seems like a lot of offerings were smashed together in order to try to form a coherent product. Seems like that would apply to many, many web services and products in the last decade.

Another problem with that example, at least for me, is that it is not apparent who is looking at who. It's a two dimensional photo and the depth of field is enough that you can't really tell which cop the miner is looking at.

That scenario seems contrived if you ask me. How likely is it that one of these expensive laser devices will just happen to be available at the scene of an active shooter incident? And if so, what advantage would it have compared to general

I've never had any issue at my local Best Buy just saying "no thanks" to the extended warranty stuff. Though I really only shop there about once every year or two.

Part of that is just what happens when you go from small start-up to entrenched big player. I remember when PayPal started. It was so cool and everyone who understood what it was was very enthused about it. Now it's all gripes and comp

If you do nothing else, in my observation you can go a long way by just following this advice: you need to own equity in something, instead of just selling your time Even if it's just owning some index funds, equity in things that gr
