I now see what's going on...the OP claims to be running an e-recycling center but actually takes "donations" and sells them for a profit instead.

But the revenue from hardware is far and away higher than software.

Yes, for example, Amazon and Microsoft have replicated the service in Seattle. Austin employers like Cirrus Logic run shuttles. I only bring it up because the original article is explicitly about how an employer can encourage employees to

I'm surprised how little is written about employer-operated mass transit. The shuttles that Google, Apple etc run in the SFBA are great.

It's totally acceptable to write to libc in something other than C, or in fact to write libc itself in something other than C.

This is a pretty weak security mitigation since any ROP attack will typically achieve return-to-libc anyway, but yelling at people who make syscalls directly is good.

The TGV entry skips over the 20 years of R&D on high speed rail that preceded the first major construction, much of which was wasted on gas turbine designs.

Amusingly I recently bought something from Jet (owned by Walmart) because the listing for the item on Amazon had a series of oddities suggesting it was counterfeit. The next day it showed up at my door...from an Amazon courier. Evidently br

More precisely: SpaceX is lobbying against Amazon getting a waiver on rules that SpaceX and other companies spent years complying with.

It's pretty but it would be more useful if it included bus lines, which gets more ridership than the L and Metra combined.

There's actually another 1% in CA on income over $1 million in California, so it's 13.3% + 23.8% = 37.1%

I have to imagine that a large part of the interest in fuel cells comes from its defense applications (particularly for submarines). It's been clear for years that for cars it's a total dead end.

It's telling that of the 15 "things that matter in GC", power consumption isn't mentioned, even in passing.

That's fine, just be aware that a good portion of what you're paying goes to making and shipping "wrong size" clothes that will typically end up getting thrown away immediately.

The core problem here is really "free" returns. There's a nasty feedback loop: consumers return things more often, so sellers make items junkier and junkier because their margins keep shrinking.

US cities have repeatedly tried this. Around 85% of the time, it has been a complete failure and they go back to allowing cars. [1] [1] https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2013/07/25/16th-stre...
