For me this only started happening after I offered feedback aka "Don't show me ads like this any more." Of course I realized shortly thereafter: "Do I really want better targeted ads on my Instagram feed?" It's

At The Breakers, all the bathrooms had hot and cold running fresh and salt water. I believe many of the fancy mansions in that area had. I remember visiting on a field trip from nerd sleepaway camp in Massachusetts. As an adult, I could

Wow, this is great! If only you could unlock the org charts for HN users, that would be great! $400 a year (no monthly option) for the org charts is a tough sell!

Interesting how there, the trade-off of electricity for nuclear is so advantageous, that you can even do inefficient things with the electricity downstream and still come out ahead. Is electricity really cheap in France?

Peak demand for energy . But peak demand for electricity is during peak AC season just like California. I don't think anyone is saying we're replacing natural gas to cook and heat with. (At least I hope not, cooking with gas i

I used to be really into regex and I'm now rusty, but wouldn't the desired representation of .* .* =.* be something closer to [^=]\* [^=]\* =[^=]\* ? I feel like it could be optimized further but this would be the first step, and

Oh wow, an old school Perl CGI script! I remember doing those about 20 years ago. Neat.

I mapped the route and if you followed Google Maps, your route would be very similar to the one they took in 1919.

That was going to be my next question: what kind of fund should the "cash" go into?

Well Happy Birthday wishes is the big one. Other times there's like maybe an inside joke or a picture or an anecdote that you think that their friends would enjoy more than your friends. It's used way more by younger people, thou

One day you might respond to an ad like this but insist on a corp-to-corp and/or 1099 arrangement and charge $350 per hour. If you have the right specialty, attitude, and connections in Federal Government contracting, you can make FAAN
