I've read about 2/3 of the Silo Saga and I can't second this recommendation enough. It was originally just a novelette, but it was so popular on Amazon that he was compelled to write more and so far, it's all excellent.

The code I write between 9 and 5 on weekdays is also way higher quality than the stuff I write the rest of the time.

Like the fact that light doesn't take up any space, so you could theoretically store an infinite amount of energy?

Both parties are already paying. Netflix, as an example, isn't getting their bandwidth free, and neither are we.

If you've been "active" for 3 years then it should have been trivial to build up enough points to do anything you want to do. You have to contribute, not just consume.

I wonder if there might not be some currency buy-in model that would work. Instead of your in-site "cred" getting bumped, maybe that cred is worth something tangible. Maybe in order to buy into the site you have deposit $5 worth o

I can remember (mid-90s) when we thought it was downright scandalous that one of our friends had on his website something to the effect of "About: My name is John Doe and I live at 123 Sesame St. Anytown, AL 00000. If you'd like t

I've never been charged a fee for using Amazon Video on our Rokus. What are you referring to?

As a long-time Roku user I curse ours almost every day. Performance is slower than every other device we own (except the Chromecast). They constantly "reset" themselves while trying to navigate through the Netflix and Amazon listi

> I wonder what air travel would be like instead of the race-to-the-bottom experience it is now. Comparing a niche (expensive) car manufacturer to major airlines isn't really an apt comparison. First, airliners are mass transit. Sec

Minus Apple, this is me. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that if you go straight to TPB you could have it already downloaded and ready to watch in less time than it takes to try and find a way to pay them. They've set th
