My spouse has simillar issues, and we have really loved not driving since moving to (downtown) SF. Some people think it's cold and foggy here, but compared to places I lived in the northwest or northeast, it's almost like there is

Sadly, the author forced the text layout to 1000 columns wider than my phone, so I cannot learn what Hyram's law is without scrolling from left to right until my thumb bleeds... Would anyone care to paraphrase it?

Admirable initiative on his part. I'm sure that like me, a lot of you here can identify with being a programmer who wasn't a traditional student. Maybe not such a hot idea to out his personal details in a story like this though. O

I'm glad you're doing well but please, speak for your self. My apartment building is surrounded by people sleeping in doorways and alleys. They are not fat, and cannot travel the world or outer space.

lol, you're here too. This sort of reminds me of people at bars complaining about the type of people they meet at bars. :) What does "HN-type people" mean to you?

Perhaps Amazon are concerned that if they do not intervene, the legislature will make them liable for what they sell, and have supposed that this way is cheaper.

I agree? I already said I think Amazon is bad and should feel bad. Not only am I not calling for "external fine grained merchant analysis", I can't find anyone who is, and I don't know what that means. This argument is s

yep, I also put coreboot on my acer c710, becuase crouton pissed me off. I don't think mine had to rely on the jumper not falling out though -- yikes.

Um, have you recently eaten something purchased from Amazon? The previous poster clearly means that it is bad that negative reviews can't effectively convey information to consumers on Amazon. I'm sure they don't mean to defe

I actually can't tell who's being sarcastic here. I think that in general, if an executive has an afair with a model, that speaks to their personality or character, as choosing to date another engineer speaks to mine. If it appear

I think this is a systems design problem in the category of failing to include a functional system/business method for reversing an invalid record, i.e., an incorrect record of non-payment. SF Muni also has a phone payment app, but eve

IANAL, but it seems like the most conservative expectation (baring some new law or clarification) would be that you're simply liable in the same way as if you were driving if something bad happens. Similarly, someone with standing migh

That sounds like an equally valid criticism to me, but if you're sense of prudence suggests that some people might not want to hear it from a dude, so does mine. It's understandable that people sometimes feel like their being atta

I'm sure this is a misunderstanding. I believe the author means to remind us that fashion and gender norms are arbitrary and performed, not to say that the hipsters chose theirs' _wrong_. Societal standards of masculinity are of p
