It depends on what segment of the car buying populace you're looking at. I work in the used car sale industry, and our business has been pretty flat over the past couple months. The companies I work with typically do the no credit chec

I would consider myself a "gamer", and play a lot of the big name, high budget titles, but the game I'm most looking forward to is the new "Clubhouse Games" for Switch that's due out on June 5. It sounds like t

I went to a park last year with my (pretty large) camera bag, and one of the rangers there asked me to open it to prove it wasn't housing a drone.

IANAL, but I think it comes down to the trespasser being informed in some way that the property is private and they're not welcome. If I'm kicked out of a store, for example, the owner or one of their agents has informed me that I

I'm with you there, and it gets even worse when a company has their own emojis with a completely obscure meaning that is somehow expected to be understood. Like for some reason people in my company reply to messages sent out of the con

I definitely agree, and I think this mindset develops in many technically inclined people only after you spend a significant amount of time living in the real world. I imagine many of us from a young age find an interest in math and science

This has been true of every HN thread in the past week or two relating to COVID-19. The typical objectivity you see among the usual audience has disappeared.

I'm also one to wake up 5 to 10 minutes before the alarm, but my alarm often varies. Some days it's 5:30 AM. Others it's 8 AM. So the ambient light level theory is out for me. But probably 6/7 days per week I find myself

Why would someone need an incredibly pixel dense infotainment display in their car anyway? Does it show all the information I need? Does it have an easy to navigate UI? Will it last a long time and be inexpensive to repair or replace if nee

I don't get sad when that code is deleted. I get sad when the people deleting it bash it as being "bad code", especially when they are new hires who don't know any of the context behind why that code is the way it is. No

I just think it's interesting that you can make almost exactly the same argument against this new commission that Graham made against the CFPB with a couple of words swapped out: "They can get into everybody's business. I don

I do find it interesting that Lindsay Graham is one of the main sponsors of this legislation. From the linked article, >The idea is to make providers “earn” Section 230 immunity for CSAM claims, by complying with a set of guidelines that

Almost the exact same story here. I'm in my mid 30's, and the last time I cried was when I was a teenager, aside from also tearing up during some movies. Definitely not like I'm fighting it, I just don't know how. Case i

Or maybe you just didn't notice. I've been offered drugs in New York City a ton of times, even in places like right next to Times Square which are swarming with cops 24/7. The guys in busy places are especially slick about it

Then why would I as a developer bother with it at all? I don't want to serve ads someone else is getting paid for from my app. And if my app was to be funded by ads, then what? Display twice the number of ads to the user?

For what it's worth Toyota leases come with 2 years of maintenance included, and unless you have major trouble, that last year might be an oil change or two costing ~$100 at the dealership (less if you go elsewhere). Admittedly, insura

The two leases I've had were 12k miles/year (or 36k for the term of the lease). I work from home now but I used used to live 10 miles away from my job, and still turned in my vehicle at the end of my first lease with like 10k mile

You can get a lease on something like a Toyota Corolla with no money down and ~$250 per month. That plus gas plus maybe having to pay for a parking space would probably break even, if not save a little money. Not to mention any rides that a
