Wow, really. Charging money for a product is a crime now? We must shun this practice? Ridiculous.

But why rebuild it? What's the value proposition of Detroit? Why should capital -- both monetary and human -- flow to Detroit when there's already plenty of excess capacity available in other well-established American cities? And

I'm stunned. Is the standard tow fee in SF really $520? I think if I ever had to pay that to get my property back I would pack up and leave the city. And I thought the $125 fee in my Texas city was exorbitant.

I think you're a sucker for thinking the "professional" trader/analyst/bot on the other side is some kind of deity. Incompetence is endemic in almost every profession and finance is certainly not immune. The stupidi

Judging by the Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver a few years ago, they are worse.

Regus does it. Of course it's much more cost effective to get a monthly rental if you'll be using it frequently.

The people who actually ended up doing the work never wanted to be on the lawn. Those who saw the meeting as another chance to hang out did.

This is really how it's done. But requires wealth. It's what super rich people do. Homes in multiple locations and chase the sun.

Exactly. I thought this was what I wanted. Now that I'm somewhat location independent, I keep thinking about where I should move to take full advantage of my freedom. It's exhausting! I want to settle somewhere but can't deci

People do this in America. Mexican immigrants namely. I see it for myself. They know how to live well on low incomes.

Nightclubs in Houston try to keep minorities out because white people will call a place "ghetto" if it has a lot of blacks or Hispanics. It's not hard to figure out. Growing up in Houston I saw countless venues quickly disapp

Doesn't make sense. Why would they buy it for $4.5 billion or more when they have no interest in positioning on cable tv? What they want is content, they can simply bid for it. If they want their management, the people who select shows

I'm not even sure how the 10% lives unless you combine two professionals in a household. Even in a place like San Diego, which supposedly doesn't have much of an economy, you have to spend $500k to get a decent enough home to rais

I've seen evidence to the contrary. CS guys who get mega-bonuses based on fund performance. And no they don't even work on HFT.

This style of gold, especially with the white accents, has come back into fashion with women in the US.

You're not required to buy a case and accessories at the AT&T store. If someone is price conscious, they will know they can get it cheaper elsewhere. And I suspect a lot of people won't put cases on them since the shell is pla

It sounds great but 200 dollars is a rip off. Someone should hack together a cheap one and sell it. Perhaps linked to a smartphone

Is there a browser extension that ensures I'll never see anything from The Atlantic, Slate, and Business Insider ever again? These sites are profoundly annoying and stressful.

Agreed. This is absolute nonsense. You don't go back for another visa every time you leave the country with an L-2. Shame on OP, not only for lying, but doing such a piss-poor job at it. Shame on HN for blindly upvoting this garbage. I

I don't understand how brilliant logical men can so readily dispose of said logic when attracted to a woman in close proximity.

your marketing completely neglects your selling point, which is ethical games that won't scam the kid. You have to make a story out of that, and revolve your entire company around it. Otherwise you're not differentiating from the

This kind of advice is simply alien to a large subset of the population. I have no single "passion." I move from interest to interest rapidly, I'm never really interested in mastering anything, rather getting practical know

OSHA is basically a big joke. My father owns a factory and has had an OSHA inspection only once in almost 30 years. Doubt they even get around to visiting offices.

Exactly this. I've confronted gardeners doing this and the homeowners who employ them. I even had the police come out on a noise complaint. Nobody seemed to care and most think it's fair game to make noise as long as it's dur

Everything I heard indicates this is not true. A hand at the mines is a dime a dozen. Engineers are perhaps another story. But the myth that you can show up at the mines and make $150k was busted a while ago, especially now as the broader e

And for the Australians reading you can realize that Australia is toast if it doesn't get its act together and put in a real mining resource tax. You can't just rely on employment from mining. The country's resources need t

Donation, seriously? How is this any different than an RV? And don't forget you're encouraging inefficiency.

Or how about we keep taking trains that already have sleeper cars in them? Is each individual transporting herself in a massive land-yacht truly the future of cities? I sure hope not.

History doesn't support this. Industry dominance tends to concentrate. NYC is still the finance capital of the west. Everyone claims the high costs will drive the industry to migrate to Florida or something but it doesn't happen.
