The more annoying problem is the storage: the lowest end model only holds 256 GB with absolutely no option on checkout to upgrade. And because it's soldered on, one can't simply install an upgrade themselves. So, in order for me to just get

Well there are places on Craigslist you probably could've found cheaper in Chinatown of all places. But studio apartments in general are expensive in a place like Secondly, Airbnb does have plenty of shared places in Queens and Brooklyn tha

Indeed. Despite the fact that women's fashion is far more lucrative and with a larger market, the majority of top end fashion houses are headed by men or whose label is a man's name.

Because it's not zero-sum. There are plenty of incredible sources of leisure, entertainment, or culture outside of what HBO produces. Not to mention one can wait for the shows to be on Blu-Ray.

If someone respected their business decision, I would've guessed that they wouldn't download their show and instead watch or do something else.

What web-streamed shows come even close to the quality of HBO produced shows? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm curious. Yahoo produces a lot of their own 'shows' but it all seems amateurishly directed that I can't bother to watch a s

Selling for a good profit gives you the flexibility to do other things that you want to do, especially things that require capital, like starting a small team of devs and designers to work on another startup or creating a private space tran

Well I think it depends. Starcraft 2 has improved it's e-sports appeal which I credit mostly to the community but it suffers from the lack of variety in strategy and the dumbing down/nerfing of a lot of micro. HotS will likely shift add mor

I tried both Open Office and GIMP. Experience is vastly less polished than Pages or Photoshop. I'd even say Pixelmator is a much tighter approach than GIMP.

A jab against designers on hackernews? How unexpected.

Good post though I will say even without the power of hindsight consulting a lawyer should've been step one. There's enough big trademark cases to go around in the public eye to know that these things shouldn't be taken lightly.

Not to mention that they can mean the same things in certain contexts. 'Clark Evans is near me, as he is in SoHo.' 'Clark Evans is here in SoHo.' I mean I have to think a bit harder in recalling who's who in this argument. Even the more pop

I don't disagree but there's certainly more complexity with interactive. Takes longer to execute (sketch, design, develop, test). And then many designers don't know how to do interactive front-end code.

"Maybe the secret is to confine your community to a small enough niche that the trolls are never attracted?" Seems so. Most of the best subreddits (imo of course) are niche communities.

I still prefer MUJI. It's too bad they don't really have many locations in North America outside of New York City.

Quite a bit. Looking at GIMP's roadmap: - Improvements in the text handling - Automatic layer boundary management - Filter layers and "Layer effects" - Non-destructive editing - Auto-anchoring of floating selection - or better, get rid of f

Eh I think it's more of a brand choice. They've pretty much cornered the market with the rounded square. Anytime I see that, I think of an app icon. That and standardizing the white space between apps. It looks cleaner to me than looking at

In CS6, they finally corrected a lot of outstanding annoyances that pervaded previous versions, like vector pixel snapping, changing multiple layers colors at once, layer styles on groups, fixed 90 degree rotating... the rest of the changes

Photoshop CS6 is a huge improvement over CS5. A lot of small changes that I think as a whole are long overdue. I'm one of the most anti-Adobe guys out there (as my Facebook feed is 50% jokes, and 50% screenshots of stupid things Photoshop d

I still prefer going to bookstores like to aimlessly peruse than to efficiently click through links and read Amazon reviews. It's also a much needed respite from a digital display. Furthermore, there's a nice comforting feeling being physic

I experienced something similar near Yankee stadium. They don't allow men to bring bags into the stadium. But they don't have a bag storage service (at least the last time I went). So random businesses around it provide bag checks for a nom

Can this be tailored for intravenous use? The tricky thing is calculating the depth of the vein and it's thickness.
