This happened to me. I bought a Mophie Juicepack for it and it solved the problem...by doubling the weight/volume of the phone. Got an iPhone 6 on friday. Yesterday I went on a 2.5 hour, 30 mile bike ride, and the iphone6 battery mete

And for speeding cars, rolling stops for cars, illegal turns, broken lights, using cellphones while driving, parking in bike lanes, etc. The most frequent complaint I hear about cyclists is the stop sign/red light/yield to pedestr

How many units are we talking about here? 10? 100? 1000? 10000? I doubt it's more than a couple hundred. That's a lot of people who can't find good housing for sure, but I doubt it's enough to have any real impact on th

I don't mind it. I think it helps me do my job. This is the first job I've worked that the company had a sales team. One of my jobs is developing solutions for the sales team. Being able to overhear their interactions with custo

The defining moment for me was one time when I was riding with my stepfather when I was 12 or so. We pulled up behind a truck that had a "Call us if this vehicle is driving badly" or the equivalent sticker and I blurted out how f

The plug-in hybrids are a great alternative. Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, Ford Fusion, and more. All have some electric range (38/11/19 miles respectively) and then have gas engines that extend the range to "normal" ICE c

They just sent out a postmortem email that states that the variance in traffic over the course of the day is only 10% and therefore there is no such thing as "peak". And then in the next sentence said that they scheduled the main

I grew up in the DC area and lived there for 8 years after college. Moved to SF (now Oakland) 6.5 years ago. I'm not sure it's truly accurate, but the east coast, DC and NYC in particular, feel like a dog-eat-dog, I'll do any

I think this is one of those things that people seem to "want", but has really been dictated to them by forces outside their control and outside of their immediate impact. - Do people really "want" to drive 10/15 mi

So, because we want "easy" farming of monocultures we engineer crops that we can spray with poison and still survive. Then we determine that we are creating a strain of weeds that is resistant to the current batch of poison, so we

I got an 1160 on the SAT. How would you classify me on the smart/not-smart continuum? I also got a 680 on the math sat 2, a 670 in the english sat 2, and a 4 on both the ap us and ap european history exams, and have a masters degree. N

I agree with the low(ish) basic income for a variety of reasons. But I think expecting the people who are automated out of jobs to go and create entirely new categories of job on there own is being extremely over optimistic. So, between th

The machines are creating wealth for the owners of the machines which isn't being (re)distributed to the former workers at all. That's the crux of the problem. Maybe there will be another revolution in jobs that need to be done t

It's not uncommon for a CEO to have back to back to back to back meetings. 9am, 930am, 1015am, 11am. And then again 2pm, 3pm, 5pm, 6pm. So that's the perspective that americans have. What you are suggesting, which might work in

If all you are making is a sandwich then spend that hour once a week going to a grocery store to buy bread, mayo/mustard, lettuce, meat or meat substitute, etc. Then spend 3 minutes making a sandwich a day and 5 minutes eating it. I d

Yeah, that's the kicker for buying. You have to have something for a down payment. My place was $470k and we paid about $72k in closing costs. Our loan is 3.625% for $417k. You can still find nice places at that price point, but rates
