I wonder what's a rough estimate of how many people find a job by first finding a company they want to work for?

Why is 90 minutes the magic number? For example lots of people commute from New Haven to New York City, where the train ride alone is 90+ minutes.

In theory it wouldn't be too hard to take the battery, controller, and a front wheel with hub motor. But I think in practice even the extra few minutes to unplug, remove and reinstall, not to mention carrying all this stuff, would rais

Ebikes are ugly (subjectively speaking) because of the battery, but there are significant trade-offs when you design that away, like vendor-locked designs and energy capacity/performance. Assuming battery technology will improve, which

That rate is quite good. The best I could find with multiple quotes for an 8k USD ebike was 35 USD/month.

Perhaps not, I thought one of the claims is interesting though, that they illegally acquired some of the dataset. What would be the damages from that, the retail price of the hardcopy?

Personally I don't care so much about genre categories, but it's interesting reading all these comments to think about "science fiction" vs. "speculative fiction" and then the lump category of science fantasy.

This reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carved_stone_balls from the Neolithic era, perhaps these bronze pieces are a technical evolution of those objects?

A great write up and I think the author has a bright future ahead of him. However I can't help but think of something I read recently, https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/an-ontology-of-elect... . I'm stil

Interesting you say that about the pinecil, I'm a little embarrassed to say I haven't touched mine since the day it arrived after impulse buying it. I guess I assumed it wasn't as capable as my Metcal. I'll have to give

Given how much time it probably took to document the setup (never mind creating the setup), I'd say he deserves every penny.

My mistake, the article uses 'joint employer'.

What determines whether Google is really a 'co-employer' with the subcontractor?

Not really. 70% of members basically say their membership is "important" (5 or 4 on a 1-5 scale).

I've never read music reviews of particular releases 'on purpose' so to speak, but I've discovered it's actually great now to read reviews of sub-genres or an article about half a dozen artists, because it's ea

Currently 900 subscribers, and similarweb estimates 480k total visits/month. I wonder how that compares to similar publications?

This was more interesting and nuanced than I was expecting, but, as hinted in the title (dirt-poor _ish_) the author is not really describing poverty (experienced by billions of actual people in the world) but some other condition of steppi
