I have a lot of family in rural Arkansas and Dollar General has been a life changer for them. It's only about 30minutes to Walmart or a grocery store, but that can huge hassle for small things or late night medicine.

I went to a Chris Hadfield talk and I'm pretty sure he called it a failure. He may not have said it out right, but it was certainly implied. He said the Russian capsule was a much better design.

And that makes sense for those living there, but not everyone lives in the Bay Area or pays anything near what people pay there for things. I would think for a service like this to succeed, it needs to be applicable to places where you can

I feel like you should spend some time with Go. If I were building a startup, I would probably choose Go for core infra for being able to move quickly as a developer and write incredibly performant code with about as much mental overhead as

I have worked in places that refuse to fire anyone and it's not fun. The cruft just builds up. But, plenty of places are willing to fire people who have given up or completely check out and nobody is really has that aspect of their com

And yet, even Netflix has a famous history of having a firing culture. Which from the outside looking in, seems toxic and incredibly unethical. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-10-26/netfli...

Because if you don't spend all your budget, you won't get more next year. How are you going to spend all your budget if you're paying fair price for things? This is a totally reasonable way to run government budgets and not i

This is surprisingly not as insane as I expected. I was expecting to feel underpaid in comparison and they do make a bit more at the same level, but this actually makes me feel better.

IBM patents everything . I feel like if they were to ever actually go through their death throes, they will start becoming patent trolls.

I know they were high, but I'm not sure about the actual numbers. I just carried fish food and packaged fish. My dad did everything else. I think cost of the fingerlings (post-fry juvenile fish) were the biggest thing that cut into the

Yes, it was cycled back through and filtered (through sand and plastic I believe) before being re-pumped back into the system from a retaining pond, then supplemented by a ground water pump to account for evaporation or other loss. Oxygen w

I'm confused why this keeps saying indoor, when it just seems to be talking about a more modern "raceway" system that has been used since at least the 80's, that I know of. Everything it described sounds exactly like the

I really hated Inbox. I thought it was one of the worst ideas they had come up with in years. But, after seeing the amount of support that it has in this thread, I'm sad it's going just for the thing you mentioned. They could have

Yeah, but of those how many of those would your average subscription holder want to see? I suspect not that many. But, I am definitely debating on getting the AMC subscription now that I know it's a thing. $20/mo sounds like it&#x

Part of the reason why Quaaludes were pulled was due to recreational abuse, but there might have been other reasons.

I kind of knew that people took Ambien for recreational use, but for the life of me I can't see why. The thing I hated the most about it was that I acted completely blackout drunk, but I felt perfectly normal and in control. Only to wa

Star Citizen has pretty much given up all hope of trying to give people realistic expectations of a game. At this point, it's just everything anyone has ever wanted in a space MMO, no matter how grandiose or pointless a complicated fea

Do you think a lot of people are running JS in a container for frontend? I wouldn't consider a webserver container a "JS container", even it were mostly serving a React/Vue/Angular app. By the way it's worded,

Phaser is just an all purpose 2D game engine, what kind of game you create doesn't matter. It gives you a lot of tools and functionality you're probably going to end up creating yourself if you used something that's just a re

I don't think the question is if the space can be used, but whether or not there are legitimate uses of the space that can also make up for ongoing maintenance costs of such large structures. I honestly don't think it can. I'
