The real alternative to regulation is tort--I say this over and over. A pretty functional alternative to licensing, voluntary or not is proof of insurance. Its a way of stating to the customer "someone trusts me enough that they can pl

In may be purely aesthetic, with no basis, but as a hiker I hate sharing a trail with cyclists. In a weird unsubstantiated way, I feel like horses are like other hikers. I've never had a horse like, gallop by me on a trial.

In another thread recently, someone mentioned that Phoenix wasn't a good name choice for a project because its been used so many times. I feel like Onyx is the same way. This thing might displace the other Onyxes for a while only to be

Very true. I didn't receive my shipment in a timely manner. I asked for and received a refund. In my case they left money on the table.

Of course CEO of a company that coordinates credential evaluations between employers and employees thinks that this is more important than interviews. His business depends on it.

My anecdotal experience as a suburban American completely supports this explanation. I attended public schools with a variety of income levels represented. I didn't notice I was poor until I was about 13 years old and realized that I c

The UI uses the "hamburger" element. I was surprised by that.

I've never been to Europe, and I'm actually curious if the Eurozone has changed driving behavior much. Would it be unusual for someone in Berlin to drive to Rome or Athens on vacation? For similar distances in the USA my experienc

This is an example of actual events that are far more interesting than most WWII movies. I fear that scientists today just aren't that cool . That said, I'm not sure I would want to face similar calamity.

A good evaluation of current cloud storage options would actually be useful. "Why we're switching from Dropbox to X" wouldn't waste our time.

If one were to employ the same test/criteria, I wonder how many languages are spoken in North America? It also makes me wonder how many people in North America don't speak any significant amount of Spanish or English. There are so

Recreational farmers probably do/will. However, its more problematic for farms functioning as a business.

I've head John Siracusa discuss this, but I can't find a good link at the moment. Yes, with cloud storage systems, there is a chance that with HFS+ you're just backing up garbage and possibly won't notice until you use t

Wow,this gives real insight into why they may be more attached to hard copy. Sometimes traditional techniques maintain order, stability and arguably security at the expense of expediency and efficiency. I wonder how technologies are evolvin

Transit hubs, and airports especially are often a location where critical transitions happen in peoples lives. I used to live in Portland, and I can think of several times where important events happened on that carpet. This includes the la

I shot some right before it was discontinued. I think its useful to note that scans of Kodachrome are not Kodachrome. To really appreciate it, I think one needs to see it illuminated in a light table or from a projector. Because of the thic

It would be interesting to compare police data with a sewage study like this: http://www.addictionjournal.org/press-releases/wastewater-an... My guess would be that San Francisco's marijuana and cocaine consumptio

To me, the term "rice burner" has always evoked a comparison to rice-cookers, which are typically cheap, small appliances. Its the kind of term that was more apt when Asian automakers mainly imported compact cars to the US, and is

More specifically, if there's play in the gears of the winding mechanism then you'll get a lot of variance when it comes to inter-frame space. NO! This is old 120 format film--just a roll of film with paper backing. On his camer

Where I live, driving involves a lot of inter-driver negotiation. As in, certain driving situations mean that a driver will cede legal right of way voluntarily because it would be a mess if they didn't. If I were pulling out in traffic

I think it has to be socially visible because it is a form of jewelry. 99% of the customer base will already have a mobile device with an easily accessible clock. Since it is a non-traditional timepiece, it might even benefit from non-tradi

Does maturity compound? I don't know. Education definitely does. College loans compound if you can't pay them. The state university I attended has a 6-year graduation rate of 65%. The graduation rate is the same for students who

The bpg image on your link has much lower contrast. I'm not sure if that can be fixed, but the images are substantially different. I wonder if jacking up the contrast on the bpg might make it look much worse.

It would be useful if someone knowledgeable and critical could explain clearly the use of this language. The marketing blather doesn't give me much. I'm not a software engineer, so this just seems like a bunch of syntax wankery.

Well put. Its just like iOS--developers are happier if most people are running the latest version. Less version-fragmentation. The "less adopted" variants of Windows are a problem for development and testing. It might make sense t

Its scary to consider, but you're basically right. This also applies to automobile/truck/aircraft manufacturing. There's always something more one can do increase safety, but it often isn't financially viable. Desig
