This is terrific. Would be a great resource for journalists to identify and understand some of the key points that can then be shared in a more public-friendly format. I wish all stories had this kind of accessible data “behind the news” th

I've flown out of 5 of them - SF, Oakland, San Jose, Palo Alto, San Carlos. You can't land a 747 on all of them but they're definitely airstrips. There might even be more than mapped.

Horrible as B is, it's even worse than that: > Even though they were ignorant of the termination [of their visas while in transit], they were still charged with violating U.S. immigration law and given a five-year ban to future admi

I've ridden for years with the Dutch mindset - I kept a '60s steel roadbike rolling with a bent frame after a car hit it while locked on the sidewalk (ugh). Frankenbikes can be great, and the performance limitations give them some

I don't have children, but as a kid I had a strict cap on “screen time”. In the IAP money-for-time bargain, this makes screen time even more rare and valuable a resource than it is for the rest of us. I know parents who see this as a r

This is a very fair point. We've followed a similar approach to what you're considering, with styles living in a couple places: - Scss library of variables, mixins, and functions that can be imported in whole or piece-by-piece int

You're beating around the bull in this China shop. (yeah yeah it's a Reddit -like comment but this whole thread should probably be downvoted)

I agree with you that ratings should mean something. However, Uber requires an absolute minimum score of 3.8 for drivers to stay on the platform, and a 4.6 minimum for any area that has reasonable driver supply (eg: everywhere). This means

This is cool to see. I even more enjoyed the oral history of Deus Ex development that it links to from the intro. A really fun, nostalgic, and pretty relateable read. And somewhat in contradiction to this post, has the quote: > From what

Near the end of the first video they overlay an image of Manhattan for scale. Penguins would be invisible - some of those chunks are as wide as the borough! Boggling.

> And in fact, studies have demonstrated that fewer girls are interested in programming because of society. I agree! But why? And when? And is it just girls? The filter I'm talking about extends far beyond and is applied far earlier

Edit: your comment has been edited extensively, so I'm responding to whatever it was at the point in time I started typing. --- To put this very dispassionately, filtering more aggressively reduces both total count and false positives

Absolutely. It's not a hard argument to make that women (and many other underrepresented people) are subjected to a stricter filter in the tech world, playing with a deck socially and structurally stacked against them. It's no sur

I just last weekend revived a Jekyll site that had sat dormant for 3+ years and experienced exactly what you're describing. Not a fun afternoon. I do feel fortunate it was only _an_ afternoon, though.

Thanks for sharing that tip! By the War Museum, do you mean the Army Museum? I was not able to find the war museum with some quick googling. http://www.armemuseum.se/languages/english/

Even worse is the extreme latitudes in summer! I tried sleeping under just a mosquito net in Alaska when the sun stayed up until 2am and rose again by 4. I brought a sleeping mask but found it hard to keep on, as we'd encountered three

I also find this frustrating. For applications where it happens frequently, you can map paste/paste-and-match to keystrokes you can remember using System Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. There isn't a global

Big Sur is terrific, with lots of beautiful rugged and ritzy places that a google search will quickly turn up. Might I suggest Cone Peak. It's 5000 feet above sea level and just 3 miles from the beach, with a road almost all the way to

...but just imagine how much less it would matter if everyone voted! Wait, that doesn't sound quite right. Determining the value of a vote based solely on its probability to be the _deciding_ vote seems like it's overlooking some

A false positive from your perspective doesn't mean your email address isn't actually being used to sign up for things. My primary personal email address is routinely used by a small handful of other real people (all strangers) fo

Yup, exactly. I don't think they're a source of materials used in the project (my first guess) because they can be found quite far away from the site, are present across varied terrain, and lack road access and indicators of work

Looking at it from space, I'm much more interested in the small circular clearings of regular size that are everywhere in the surrounding landscape. Each one looks the size of a truck. What are those all about?

I interpret the issue k-mcgrady brings up as the inconsistency inherent to self-assessing issues like these. Standardized assessment has its issues (it doesn't replace a professional), but at least it works with a single definition tha

You're getting some downvotes, but it raises a question about the basic concept of utopia as it's been explored by many, many authors. All the ones I can think of achieve peace through homogenity and comformity, often with quite r
