   Until Uber is cheaper than the subway (maybe with self-driving cars?), I totally agree that taking the subway in NYC generally makes more sense. But compared to taking a taxi, Uber is a way better experience. In taxis I'm always stress

   While the conciseness of attrs is nice, it's not very readable. This: class Point3D(object): def __init__(self, x, y, z): self.x = x self.y = y self.z = z ...is much easier to read t

   I think you're over thinking this. Suggesting that Lyft is worth a low price so that people think that means Lyft is worth more doesn't seem plausible. Why not just suggest that Lyft is worth $8 billion? On the other hand, I could

   I love the sentiment. Silicon Valley and NYC became what they are because of people hacking on things in garages / shitty apartments. Now those shitty apartments cost $2,000/month. The equivalent of those places, where things like

    From what I've seen living in Toronto, NYC and Montreal, streets with nicer houses/apartments tend to have more trees. Those neighborhoods also tend to be quieter. Take the example of NYC. The Upper East Side and Clinton Hill are

    Soylent 2.0 has had more than the daily maximum safe amount of soy in a single meal from the beginning. And according to the Soylent FAQ, Soylent powder already contained 53mg of soy/isoflavones per serving [1]. [1] https://

    I'd love for that to be true, but the research I linked to says otherwise. If you have research you could point me to that supports what you're saying I'd be happy to read it.

    I've stopped drinking Soylent since I found out that it contains more than the recommended amount of soy in a single meal. Excess soy has been found to "feminize" men [1]. It also "may cause some reversible sexual disrup
