I do this in Denver, where bike theft is supposedly rampant. Never had an issue, and I live in one of the worse areas and will leave my bike parked and unattended for hours at a time. I also sticker bombed one of my bikes so that if someone

I've experienced this. My property taxes have gone up maybe 30% in the past few years. My income has increased pretty substantially, so it's not like I'm unable to pay for the increases. Compared to rent though, and having a

I've been left out of family and friend group chats for not having an iPhone. I nearly missed a birthday party for my friend that his girlfriend organized because she didn't want to lose iMessage features when sending out the grou

I've had friends that have trouble syncing their Garmin devices with syncing to their iPhone. I've wondered if this is caused by their wireless communication protocol that is proprietary and only available on other apple devices.

Getting people out of cars also reduces tax spend on road costs. Bike infrastructure lasts longer and is cheaper to maintain than a road, which can result in improved municipal finances.

It truly is. I moved to a city across my country that has pretty good bike infrastructure. I had never even considered riding a bike for transportation, but after experiencing somewhat good infrastructure that got me to my office faster tha

I agree, but for those that truly value freedom, I would think that they would also value the freedom of choice. Car dependent societies don't allow many choices, you are restricted to only choosing a car for transportation.

They kind of do if you count the classics that they let you play on Switch. Forget what it's called exactly, and I'm not sure if that's emulation or rewrites of older games. I think the key thing with emulation is that it can

Most people are discussing coffee, but green tea isn't really mentioned. I started limiting my coffee intake maybe 7 years ago and switched to mostly green tea, except for certain occasions. Green tea doesn't nearly impact my slee

I don't think they're using false or duplicate Apple devices for this. I think that it may be likely they are using AWS resources for it: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/ When AWS firs

Idk. I worked for a massive company that is as east coast as they come. We'd still get free swag all the time. Usually for participating in events or coming to talks and stuff. Same thing with the startup I worked for, and the midsize&

I think there could be a couple reasons for this. 1. Like the article mentioned, bad media coverage. Trust that these systems will be truly self driving at some point seems to be dwindling. Enhancements may come, but I think people doubt th

I'm pretty sure curl does support GraphQL. It's a little weird with the formatting but it can be done. Postman can even export a GraphQL request to a curl command.

A lot of their PR is that way, but they also contract with Sri Lankan factories that don't provide livable wages and have long working hours. Patagonia says it's out of their control, but also... it's within their control to

Yup, I worked at a car wash and the water coming off of cars is absolutely disgusting. Had to wear some sort of hazmat type suit to clean the trench as we called it.

This is why I advocate for a gross vehicle weight rating and vehicle miles traveled tax, regardless of energy source (although gas should still be taxed on its own). GWVR and VMT pretty much measure how much impact a car has on road mainten

This is interesting. One of my concerns with dating apps has always been that if they are in it for profit, isn't it in their best interest to keep users single? If the reason people are using dating apps is to find a long term relatio
