They should, and perhaps that's improved in recent years, but it was definitely a common problem as few as 3-4 years ago (from my experience, I've largely switched away from yellow cabs to Uber/Lyft - mostly because the price

There is, at least in theory: call 311. However what's to stop the driver from slowing the meter down before he gets inspected? There's no GPS in the meter, as far as I'm aware, so I don't believe there's a way to t

Yellow cabs in New York have meters that are supposed to be checked regularly. Never the less, I have taken yellow cabs with unquestionably different rates per actual miles and time driven (e.g. same distance/time, different fares, b

It feels weird that an ad blocking company makes money by not blocking ads.

Thanks, I have certainly seen that quote before and thought it actually had been thoroughly vetted. I was not aware that the man quoted was dead. I've been making a point in recent months to make particular note of things that confirm

Much as I like Randall Munroe and xkcd, I don't see any sources cited in that comic. I don't know that we know, precisely, how fucked we are yet, but I do think it's clear that humans are having an effect, and we know very co

Haha, programmer's grammar. I couldn't be bothered to construct the sentence correctly, nested parens did the job clearly enough.

Interesting, I can't imagine you can get the same apms on that setup. Not that I'm very good (or any good, really), just that on SC2 my numbers are terrible with a trackpad relative to my numbers with a mouse.

I can't imagine playing Starcraft with anything but a keyboard and mouse. I can't even play it with a trackpad.

Thank you, that's actually a very well written Wikipedia article. I'd not heard the term "normalization" used wrt Unicode before.

onbeforeunload might get you there, but any site that uses that for any reason other than making sure I don't lose any unsaved changes is the devil.

Putting it on a different domain would likely make the SEO much more difficult. It's unlikely you could keep it as the first result as no authoritative sites for those keywords would link to it.

So I've heard. I've been meaning to install TweetBot for ages, just haven't gotten around to it (and Twitter.ipa is the app in which I most often do the long press to open links).

I hate every instance of the in-app browser. I always long press on a link and open it in safari whenever that's possible - those integrated browsers don't support my adblock plugin and are already slower than native safari.
