   No, you can also activate by tapping and holding. You can test this by sending a live photo to an iPhone 6 or below.

   Any idea what forms of payment they'll accept for a deposit? Will a debit or credit card work?

   It's very hard to get a sense of how more or less likely a child is to pursue a given profession than normal. You just sort of have to eyeball the bars before and after, which tends to visually accentuate changes to common professions,

   It seems weird to me that Google isn't distributing ChromeOS as an installable OS. Isn't their goal to get everyone using Chrome, not to sell ChromeOS hardware?

   I don't own, but if I did I'd love a "landlord as a service" where I could just call or email someone about a problem and have them fix it.

    I was more thinking pulling a fuse or unplugging an antenna, but that could work too. Any idea how that would be accomplished?

    Honestly, the tracking is the biggest thing that would stop me from getting a Tesla. Is it possible to completely sever the data connection for the car?

    This response puzzles me. Why can't employees work, in part, for options if they want to? Why can't employers offer vesting windows that allow the options the employee earned to act as a free lottery ticket, instead of a very cost

    I certainly didn't know that asking for a longer exercise window was an option when I started at my current work. Is it ever an option? I'd imagine that it's usually impossible to make an exception for a single

    The fact that there is a 90 day window probably is not volunteered when the job offer is made, and asking about what will happen after you leave the company isn't something most people are comfortable doing in a job interview. It'

    Diamonds-in-the-rough are also a tremendous value. It's very cheap to hire someone that can't (or doesn't think that they can) get a job elsewhere. It really is surprising that more effort isn't spent trying to identify

    I recently got job offers from two companies, one in downtown San Francisco and one in the South Bay. I ended up going with the one in the South Bay because I couldn't figure out a way to commute into downtown SF in a timely manner. It

    He must have hired a bargain-basement PR firm, too. The best PR firms put out stuff that doesn't seem like it came from a PR firm.

    We need to somehow classify encryption as an armament, so that it'll be protected by the second amendment.

    These urinal photos make me uncomfortable, there's basically zero privacy for any of them. Is it too much to ask to toss up some dividers between them?

    Given a choice between this and the old non-mobile-optimized site, I'd take the latter. Everything is too squished on smaller iPhones.

    I'm a bit skeptical of this. The way the CEO brushes off the issue of what happens when the user is offline leads me to think that they don't have a great answer for that. Services like Dropbox and iCloud are great because you don
