Density is solving itself. If you live on the hill then you must have noticed the incredible explosion of massive apartment buildings and condos going up across the city. Note how it's concentrated in centers of commerce, and that&#x

Improvements to Link notwithstanding, any of the available bus routes I take typically get me downtown faster. Link will get better over time of course and I'm happy for that, but I haven't seen any traffic crisis on the hill that

I'm a SFH owner in Capitol Hill, and I have 3-4 bus routes options that get me to downtown in ~30 minutes. Subways are cool(!), but not always necessary. I think there's a balance to be had with high density versus SFH neighborh

Pair that was demand forecasting for this relatively obscure feature, they probably made the call that simple polling was good enough for now.

Most reliable method in my own experience: simply eat less. Eat your normal amount of meals, shovel it in your mouth, but stop before finishing the whole portion. I eat maybe 75% of each meals and toss the remaining bits. Do it for a couple

That'd be a good start. One thing, however, that bothers me lately is the pursuit shareholder value above all else. The commentary always arrives at that end (shareholder value) in order to justify the means every time a company'

Interesting that not all trail signs at our NPs use this font exactly. For example, I wonder if this is a separate font carved by a router: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmmACyogjEe/?igshid=12jeudc1pasu...

It’s going to depend. If you’re going into the web front end field, you’ll be able to make that determination yourself. For me, as an SRE with higher priorities, you can pry Bootstrap from my cold, lifeless fingers :) I have zero interest i

The point isn’t that there are solutions to keeping it charged. The point is it’s a needless concession for Apple to make when other wireless mouses have found elegant ways to achieve simultaneous use and charging. This wasn’t an instance o

Is there a valid comparison between Uber and a company like Amazon? Amazon's loss leader strategy paid off and they're doing well now, so can Uber "become profitable whenever they want to" and be fine?

Good riddance! It’s high time companies stop gravitating to the local maxima for every decision. As a user, I want thoughtfully developed experiences; not everything has to be a news feed.

You can use something like SeatGuru before you book a flight to confirm the model. For instance, the LH490 flight on 4/9/2019 will be a 747-400: https://www.seatguru.com/findseatmap/findseatmap.php?airline...

In terms of project management, aviation software is one industry where the "three-legged stool" should always, always favor quality, so I'm more than happy to see Boeing take the extra time to get this right. Though the nose

Deliberation is slowly going extinct in favor of throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. I see it as the "news feed"-ification of video content.

Agreed. Content is king, and I think HBO understands that very well. I go to HBO for curated, high quality entertainment. I see this less as a business problem and more of a technology problem with regards to their streaming platform. All b

This makes me wonder how we'll view space travel generations from now. Will the descendants of companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin face outrage and calls for criminal charges like Boeing is receiving now? Risk is inherent in fast mod

That might work. I envision something close to Ikea (but in a much smaller footprint) where product collection is batched at the end of the store route. In fact, surely they (Ikea) have tossed this idea around. Probably encountered some roa

Seems to me that disgust for the practice grows exponentially with reposter's audience size. If I see something worth resharing with friends, I'd never consider Instagram as an outlet to do so. Instead, I opt for a personal shar
