Is this an April Fools thing or not? I legitimately can't tell and it's making me hate this day even more.

Anecdotal, but I've used Simple for almost two years and while the mobile app really is great, the biggest benefit I've gotten out of it is the "Goals" feature. Surely there are other budgeting systems out there that do

To your average consumer those names mean nothing (except for maybe AmazonBasics, because "Amazon" is in there).

It was hard for me to get past "we need a workbench for our [lightbulb]", but that crooked box sealed the deal.

When I was a research assistant in college I was encouraged for one of my presentations to emphasize safe hydrogen storage as a vehicle fuel source, when really the research was all about how minuscule amounts of hydrogen change the electri

That goes beyond a "personal supply", though. Check out "space buckets".

The difference is that unlike building your own expensive and potentially dangerous liquor still, a personal supply of cannabis can just be grown in a sunny plot of land, or if you want to get real fancy, with indoor growing equipment that

Right? I like the one from amznnewgrad: $90k base as a new grad and "needless to say" they declined the offer. Needless to say? I was hired after a year out of college in 2010 at aboyt $37k and it felt like I hit the lottery. Gran

140 characters makes twitter unique. It shouldn't be used as a platform for long form stories. Other platforms already exist for that. I don't want another facebook. Maybe it takes some editing to make your thought fit, but it als

If you drink any amount of hot drinks, the water boiler is worth it. According to the manual, the 3 liter version draws only 38 watts maintaining 195F/90C water (after the initial boiling cycle).

For fried rice, yeah, day old is best. But nothing beats stir fry of meats/non-meats (tofu)/vegetables over hot, fresh rice.

I've had my Zojirushi rice cooker for probably 3 years now and use it at least 4 times per week. It's bulletproof. The bowl is starting to show its wear, but I'm still in love with the thing. In addition, I have a Zojirushi c

While you're here, I recently switched to an iPhone and the Inbox app, yet I've received multiple e-mails from GMail saying, in part, "You're currently accessing your Google account from your iPhone but not using the off

Please forgive my rambling Wednesday musings, but this trend toward curated content from social media apps seems to be mimicking the capitalism-critical idea that "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". These algorithms are

No offense to you or your product, and I did read the description, but I still don't see how can you justify $25 for a podcast app. More importantly, I don't see how a regular user would even bother to read the description after s

All very cool stuff. Let's just say that the reasons why I stopped listening to KATG were not tech related. There was a point when I was beginning discussions with a former KATG guest to develop an app for his podcast, but that didn&#x

Off topic, but it's interesting to see that you're active on HN, as I certainly remember you on the forums and on the show. I used to be a big fan of KATG from about 2008 to 2012 but fell off the bandwagon. As far as podcast commu

My brother purchased a 2016 Subaru Outback with Eyesight and his comments to me have largely been the same. The only complaint I've heard is that if it's snowing or the roads have snow cover many of the features are unreliable. Hi

I mean no offense by this, but how old are you? I ask because I used to believe the same thing, but as time passed I realized that being special and having specialized knowledge are not one and the same. Very few of us are truly special.

You seemed to imply in your original comment that taking the Google bus versus not taking the Google bus boils down to a class issue of "haves" and "have nots", so I was trying to illustrate that no matter what that clas

How is this any different from someone driving a 2017 Lexus versus a 1990 Toyota? Both may be a reflection of the income one receives. Both take up the same public infrastructure of the road and parking spaces.

Nope. Actual white noise. The company owns the property and built the building.

Maybe it is? I really don't know, but I've only ever seen cleaning staff the few times I've come in on weekends, and only ever seen noticeable improvement on Mondays.

I could say something, but my boss (the company owner) isn't the most receptive to suggestions like this. It took nearly three years of my complaining to finally get an End User License Agreement for our product, for example.

With the way Curry has been playing some of these charts are going to need to be re-scaled to include beyond the half court line. 35/57 from 28 feet and farther currently (61.4%).
