Well, just this morning a driver killed an elderly person in Manhattan! She certainly won't be going to the supermarket anymore! (and this isn't a rare occurrence) http://gothamist.com/2016/10/04/ped

I'm surprised the 40mm f2.8 isn't more popular, it takes great pictures, it's cheap, and physically using it is great (it really transforms how the camera feels because it's so small). Strongly prefer it to the 50mm f1.8

It is a kit lens in the literal sense, I purchased one with a 6D, but not in the pejorative sense like the 18-55mm.

Yeah, the 24-105 has consistently excellent reviews, e.g.: http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/24-105mm.htm http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-24-105mm...

Hearing damage? A better question would be - why aren't "library rules" an option? The default should be quiet, headphones cannot recreate that, only different noise. If people wish to introduce noise, they may of course do t

Okay, but you can already avoid this by doing the exchange in a police precinct - which you probably ought to do anyways, even with a Facebook account attached.

If I tried to mandate "cycling nights", everyone would think I was crazy. Not everyone can ride a bike! Not everyone's comfortable riding a bike aggressively in Manhattan traffic! Okay, but I can and am, and everyone should b

The problem that I have it's that it's very hard to find a company with: - Talented employees - Good product - Interesting problems - No corporate hierarchy/org nonsense - Liberal policies ("no, you don't have to as

It's definitely management's job to prevent employees from harassing each other! Although that doesn't help if the pressure is coming from management. Some women are understandably less comfortable around drunk people because

That seems orthogonal. The issue is ownership of language, not what certifications are required for a specific role at a company.

Why does some random organization get to decide whether or not people are a thing? It'd be one thing if it was the government, but this is like saying that no one can be a "soccer player" unless the USSF says so.

Oh, bleh, dumb luck then. It should really use GeoIP.

I prefer forecast.io. First, when I visit darksky.net, I get a location in Kansas. Forecast.io gives me New York, via GeoIP (?), without requiring location services. I'll assume that's just a bug, though. The main problem is that

Besides non-direct harm like Quicken's "let's do the 2008 mortgage thing again" ad from last year's Super Bowl, a television ad can cause direct physical harm through flashing light (epilepsy) or excessive volume.
