Tobias: You know, Lindsay, as a therapist, I have advised a number of couples to explore an open relationship where the couple remains emotionally committed, but free to explore extra-marital encounters. Lindsay: Well, did it work for those

I wonder if they really used mesquite as their wood or if that was some artistic license on the author's part. If so it would be an interesting choice. Mesquite burns hot, produces a lot of smoke and can very easily impart a harsh bi

I was under the impression from his book and his videos[0] that Franklin's didn't use the crutch as "policy" unless it was necessary...but I've never been lucky enough to get down there to Austin yet so I can't

A new MU-2 hasn't rolled off the line for almost 30 years. If you're a pilot you've heard about the MU-2 and its flight characteristics, The aircraft requires specific training that once implemented drastically reduced the cr

Absolutely agree. I backcountry hike several times a year and always seem to forget how easy the galaxy is to see once you "get away from it all." When you're in town, you can't see it. When you're in the backcoun

The first statement implies that computer testing is so good now that an aircraft can be tested so thoroughly that the maiden voyage of an aircraft could safely also be its first "for real" mission. It is true that computer models

The custom font he's using made my eyes schitz out. Switched it to Arial and it became much more readable. This just seems like font snobbery more than anything else.

I read the implication that there isn't a solution; his point seems to be that connected devices are becoming so pervasive that even if you want to avoid them you can't. The implication, at least to me, is that the only way to avoid it woul

Ten thousand vehicles is a very small run. It's a lot for a small company but _relative_ (that being the keyword) to most production runs it's tiny. It's very similar to what Toyota did with the Prius in the US, but minus the three years

This is my thought: this car has no history, period. I'm unclear as to how Consumer Reports can reliably put out a report on a vehicle that's so new to market with such (relatively) few examples on the road. I think people really really re

There is such a preponderance of FUD about how livestock are cared for that it boggles the mind. People that have never once talked to a farmer or rancher have these huge opinions about how food "should" be produced based on some bullshit

I got one of these texts from a friend of mine. Path didn't ring a bell so I figured he'd gotten hacked and ignored the text message.

Hmmm, so they outbid Showtime for the rights , which cost them $3M per episode. This implies that this was a $3M vig on top of which Netflix then had to lay out production costs. So the costs per epi would be pretty high. But...back in 2

Off-topic: what if Kickstarter had been around in 2006 for Arrested Development? Perhaps we wouldn't just now be getting a season 4.

Here's how I sell charging what I do for web development on top of WP/Drupal/RoR/whatever (if it comes up, which is rarely does unless the customer asks about tech): "We're planning on using <CMS/Framework" to implement your solution.

Oh, that's exactly what they're doing. Except rather than a one time fee, it's equity or revenue...forever. Even if you don't get a deal. F*ck. That.

Ditto. I don't know how many times I've said "man, freaking Google owns Youtube, how can it take so long to load." I've never been able to watch anything in 1080 or 720 unless I want to go run an errand while it's loading. After running th

"The article is about the tendencies in communication due to Facebook." Yup, but my point, poorly made perhaps, is that you define your communication tendencies, and FB is just another communication tool. Not vice versa as the author int

Facebook is a tool. And like all tools, its value is defined by how you choose to use it. Two years ago it was a worthless, annoying site with news feed full of mommies talking about their kids' snot. So I engaged with the site to make it

I'm doing an extraordinarily poor job of communicating today. I've had the Black Dog, as Churchill called depression, at my heels since I was a kid. Hereditary type thing, history of suicide in the family. 11 years ago I saw myself headed

The people for whom I have empathy are his parents, family, and friends who, by committing the ultimate act of self-centeredness, he has now forced to live the rest of their lives bearing a burden of sorrow and survivor's guilt.

I couldn't agree more. I've sorta kept my mouth shut on the issue as HN has fallen all over itself eulogizing this guy as some type of martyr but good God, he pulled the trigger on himself.

Oh, no, I don't think he was making anything up. I'm just questioning the accuracy of his perceptions. The phrase that really drives that is when he interprets the "partner?" question as being interrogated within his own home. If you come

The inference of this paragraph bugs me: "Last week, the pest control guy came to the door. "Are you Mr. Smith?" he says. "No, I'm Mr. Pallotta, Mr. Smith's partner," I reply. "Partner?" he asks. I'm being questioned in my own home. "Yes, p

OT: Anyone know what these men's magazines have against Crossfit? There was a ridiculously ill-informed article in Men's Health magazine this year and this article slanders Crossfit as "sadistic" then doesn't bother to validate the claim.
