   Apple also increases their prices regularly. And Apple customers don't mind paying a little more because they believe they are getting a premium product. Tesla has built a similarly premium brand and could similarly increase prices wit

   Attaching a specific price to a long term marketing campaign that becomes entrenched in the minds of consumers should be considered an antipattern. It locks vendors into a price point that ignores inflation. This can be tough to break free

   Thanks. I never knew about the HTTP 308 response code. Here is the RFC dated June 2014: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7238

   Another thing to keep in mind is that HTTP 301 redirects are typically only followed for GET requests. POST, PUT & DELETE requests will still be broken.

   You still have to keep deprecated URLs responsive in order to issue HTTP 301 redirects. And until 100% of legacy clients update their calling code (could be never), you can't remove support without breaking the system for legacy client

    Thank you for finding the details of the methodology. I find this unconvincing. 67% accuracy, while better than a coin flip, is still pretty low. 1/3rd of their data points on the relationship between dishonesty and profanity on Facebo

    Even if the researchers fact check Facebook posts and found them to be untrue, that still wouldn't conclusively point to dishonesty because the message poster might believe in the falsehood. It's not a lie if you believe it.

    I'm never hungry in the morning. That should be an indicator that I should skip breakfast, which I often do.

    If it doesn't happen sometime soon, Uber and Lyft will go out of business. They need fully autonomous driving in order to achieve profitability. So Uber and Lyft either achieve self driving capabilities and get rid of the human drivers

    For drivers, there are only short term gains to be had. Fully autonomous vehicles are the centerpiece of the ride share roadmap (for Uber, Lyft and even Tesla). Drivers might as well capitalize on short term opportunities while they still e

    The difference is that you can ride out housing market downturns until home values recover but if you bet it all and lose at the casino, the game is over. Even though the housing market drops 20% in your example, you still have a place to l
