   Thanks. Is there some distance from the caldera where crust disturbance would definitely not be a factor? 1 mile? 100 miles? Greater?

   Good point. What about the drilling activity in the Dakota's and / or Alberta - Saskatchewan?

   Has anyone heard of a study of how fracking and horizontal oil drilling in the states surrounding Colorado are affecting the caldera? I would imagine all of the seismic activity they cause would have an impact.

   The problem in my mind, at least in the US, is that we give licenses to 16 year-olds without proper training and turn them loose on the roads. This combined with the American machismo culture of driving like an entitled asshole make for sit

   Statements like this make me cringe: > I’ve cost them time and money going down the hill. It’s a macho thing. Drive the hills as fast as you can and be damn sure to humiliate any sonofabitch who’s got brains enough to respect the mountai

    The listings project is not mine, but I've always admired Stefanie and her list: https://www.listingsproject.com/ It lists artist studios, coworking and apartment sublets, mostly in NYC and probably does about $500k in

    I don't have specifics like that, but I've noticed drastic improvements in page load time when I moved a site from Apache to NGINX. This post was the motivation: http://reviewsignal.com/blog/2014/06&#x2F

    This fails to mention the most dramatic fix, which is to host it on NGINX rather than Apache.

    It seems like an iteration with a plastic coating could make this a product with a longer life.

    Have a look at a map. Geographic boundaries surrounding an 8 million person population is why NYC real estate is so expensive.

    For sure, they are very small places. But they are old, dense cities and are very walkable / bikeable. You can even ride between the 2 on a nice path that runs next to the Hudson (they are about 6 miles apart).

    Yes, RPI is in Troy. It would be one of the points on my list of assets. They have this amazing music venue called EMPAC...

    For people looking for that 70s NYC like experience, with proximity to NYC, I HIGHLY suggest checking out the Albany / Troy area. Both are gritty little cities with a bunch of interesting people living there doing interesting shit, all

    Lot's of Flash developers got caught with their pants down. If you were good, you moved into iOS (or jumped on the ever morphing javascript train), but lots of them were not T shaped and struggled to transition their skillset.

    I can't compare, but I can comment on Sendy. I use it to send about to a list of about 5k. It has never sent to completion on its own, it always requires me to monitor the queue so I can hit the 'retry' button once it times

    Feel free to use the same UI trick - I 'borrowed' it from the guy who made http://pitchify.com I'd love it if you put a link! I'll do the same :).

    Thanks! I'm pulling the day's songs via the API: http://tracklist-api.kcrw.com/Simulcast/date/2016/03/04?page... etc, and creating a playlist out of those. I'm parsing the artist/ so

    I've made some Rails ActiveRecord models that to talk to the Wordpress database. Using them and the page caching gem / feature, you can get the static page effect you are looking for. Additionally, you can have all the Rails goodi

    In the middle of a 'compulsion loop' I wound up on HN, leading me to read this article, only to stop halfway through to come back and check the comments - and post this one. See ya. Off to Google Analytics.
