Yes, the manufacturing gets reset with very minor updates, but nothing too major. It's tough because if you are custom ordering a car mid-year there's a question as to whether to wait for a production allocation in the new model y

Or an app for that, being the valley and all... you report a violation, city enforces via third-party contractors (Uber drivers).

Cities are funny places. Off topic mildly but still vehicles using bike lanes... I often wonder about armored delivery vehicles - ATM/cash movement firms like Brinks. Do they have some sort of deal with cities to not receive tickets fo

They're a blast to drive! Here in Seattle (and also Portland) we have BMW's ReachNow drive sharing network, so are able to drive the i3 for about 40 cents per minute point-to-point. It's great since BMW handles the fleet mana

Or it's just the cost of 3,000 engineers doing R&D work in this day and age...

What I find interesting is that this article re-iterates that many times credit card processing fees have been entirely or partially subsidized out of the _tipped employee's tip_. I was recently eating dinner at a French restaurant in

Seeing all the supposed $5,000 LED TVs on Amazing selling for $1,200 is always a good laugh... A tangent, but it was a fun conversation recently with the girlfriend in Hawaii staying at the St. Regis. (Hawaii has a hotel rate 'fairness

ASUS RT-AC66U (primary), AirPort Extreme (Secondary). And I weep for something better... ASUS firmware updates are starting to destabilize a multi-year solid and consistent experience.

The glassification plant at Hanford is just starting to come online, but Yucca doesn't want it. We have a political problem now, not a technical one... and yeah that's going to be a tough one. I wonder how long until someone figur

Having visited the Hanford site in Washington State, it's a pretty epic thing there trying to deal with the waste from WWII. Actual nuclear waste is a 10,000+ year problem, not hundreds of years. But the 100s of years problem is more a

I also lived once in an apartment that was on a noisy street, I did all sorts of research on decibel limits in cities and briefly considered starting to record and trend using a decibel meter - then I remembered I have a day job. At least i

I wasn't trying to make a browser politics statement in the post, but am glad to be able to work in the new Microsoft that is proud of whatever platform and tool works - including employees. Personally I use Safari when I'm on bat

In the past GitHub had a more open workflow (you just added people directly), but I think that was problematic... For a while we hacked around this problem by letting third party associates "invite themselves" using a one-time use

My hope is that I can delete this in the future. It's a scary place to be in when we're 1) dependent on a third party, 2) we have to follow GitHub and the API down the rabbit whole, and 3) we are just trying to enable our team to

Yeah, we're sort of in this odd space: GitHub has a lot of us "big tech" happy to be in a space with a lot of people collaborating, but we're having to spend pretty big in order to be productive.
