Honestly I'd rather just do what I did when I first lived in SF and NYC: get a bigger space with a couple people. For me, having a spacious social area and respectably sized bedroom trumps having complete and utter privacy.

Trump might talk a lot, but we know what Clinton has done with her voting record and her interactions behind the scenes interactions with Obama as Secretary of State. It's surprising /frustrating to me so many Democrats on my Face

I've always found it odd how the media puts so much emphasis on the founder prior to success or public release of the actual product. I can't help but think if Holmes were a different demographic (i.e. an Asian or Black man), they

Eh I don't know. When I was in Paris, going to concerts alone was fine but the days when my friends were there to chat and interact with me we're far more happy and full.

I've tried apps but invariably I end up seeking alternatives to get around the blockers I set for myself. Internet is like alcohol for me so it's only fitting that I am the most productive in Internet free zones.

I think 3D television was a mere incremental improvement whereas the immersion of VR is the next stepping stone of entertainment. Though, I think the full-room experiences are a bit of fad as seated experiences are more comfortable and rela

I've split my life living downtown (SF, NYC, London, Melbourne, TO) and in the suburbs. Outside my house the only thing I hear is the wind tossing about with the trees. Can't hear my neighbors or traffic or people on the street. C

Strange. I had the opposite experience. I made more friends in NYC in 2 years than real friends in SF in 4. That's not to blame people, because hey, it takes two to tango and my behavior sabotaged my own success. But even though I am i

Not about the op but I've always hated the name "mockup". Maybe it because it seems less technical than other terms used in the design process such as wireframe and prototype. I also dislike the way the word sounds. I often u

Uh I feel like it's fictional to frame it as if women don't care about physical looks. Just go to a cafe and see who they are paired up with. Rarely do I see huge variance with physical attractiveness between the pair. Or read dat

I was bullish on using dating apps as I went on a good date within a week of signing up to one, amazing since I'm on the lower end of the 1-10 attractiveness scale. Realistically, I'd put myself as 2. However, since then, it'
