Isn't consumption what drives the huge American economy? I'm not an economist, but it seems like implementing a bigger sales tax would reduce consumption, which would reduce profits, which would results in less jobs and smaller sa

Horsepower isn't nearly as important as torque for a vehicle like this. If you look at even modern work trucks, they may have a 6-7L engine pushing only ~300hp or so but with like 700-800lb-ft of torque. But yes, engines have come a lo

Are you seriously equating the internet going out for a few hours to a nuclear meltdown?

Their are automated pour over machines out there, and they seem to be getting more popular recently. However, I doubt they will ever completely replace the manual pour over devices since everyone has their own technique when it comes to pou

In my experience most Uber drivers were taxi drivers, so there is very little difference in that aspect. Sure, every now and then I get a noob that has to put the address into the GPS, but most of the time that is not the case. I have only

I wrote a really long complaint email and they "resolved" it by crediting my account with $20 credit. I ended up paying like $110 for that ride. It would have been about half at the 1.75x rate, and about a third without the surge

by dntrkv 12y ago
I don't have a problem with surge pricing, but what I do have a problem with is when a driver cancels my ride so they can get a higher surge rate. Example, I was in LA trying to go from Downtown to Venice, I got an Uber for 1.75x norma

I'm pretty the parent has the correct use here. "If you say "large grain of salt", you're saying "take more of it", which has the opposite meaning from what you intended." The claim here is not the sa

In my experience, UberX is way cheaper than a cab. From my place in the Mission District to 2nd/Mission is usually like $12-13 via UberX. Cab used to cost me like $17. In LA we took an UberX from Venice to Downtown, it was ~$35, cab wa

I meant they have fallen behind features/bug fixes. Poor wording on my part. But yes, I agree. They don't have any real competitors at the moment, so that may be part of the reason they aren't improving their product. Don&#x2

I hope that will be the case but I'm not holding my breath, they have received over $120M in funding up to this point. They had so much potential when they launched and in the last year or so they have just fell behind. When they moved

Sure, it may not be the leading cause. But the homeless that people are usually referring to when they talk about San Francisco's homeless problem, are the ones with mental issues or addiction problems. I rarely ever see the regular, s

Yes because the crazy guy outside my office yelling at the brick wall just needs a job, and he'll be living in a home in no time.

Are you implying that the two are mutually exclusive? Solving homelessness is not an economic problem. There are so many factors involved, that you can have a great economy with low unemployment but tons of homeless people.

Yeah, you were probably in the Tenderloin. The worst part of the city.

That's a good start but it doesn't account for bedrooms that are better. For example, one bedroom may have a huge bay window with a nice view and the other has a tiny alley alley facing window. How do you count that into the cost?

Infinite scroll can be implemented well, but more often than not it's implementation is just terrible. Take Soundcloud for example. I love their service, their UI is generally pretty good, their site is usually fast, and in most cases,

WebStorm is a much better IDE for PHP, but if your primary language is Java, then the PHP plugin is more than sufficient.

It happened to my family. We're definitely not a wealthy or well-connected family. We lost our home in the recession, my dad's business went from doing great to completely closed. We moved to a tiny house in a cheap neighborhood.

I see. So stop doing anything controversial and you'll be just fine, right? No. But if you are lying, you have to realize that you can be caught. The fact that some kind of technology makes it easier for you to be caught is not the t

Go for it. Nothing is stopping you from doing that. It's just people will think you're a weirdo for doing it.

I do use icomoon, it's an amazing tool. I was just replying to the parents comment about how necessary these abstractions are: "How many icons will a website need before an abstraction like this is necessary to manage them?"

by dntrkv 13y ago
Managing a sprite for even 10 different icons is a huge pain in the ass. Let's say you need a light and dark version of each icon, that makes it 20 different icons. Then you want a small version, and a big version of each, that brings
