I imagine it'll hurt Samsung even further, considering they build freighters.

Honestly I wish they wouldn't try to compete on price. Maybe I'm alone with this, but I'd rather not feel obligated to tip a driver because the ride is so cheap. Pay them a living wage, let me pay the exact fee, and let me no

Sedentary lifestyles were a very small minority up until a generation or two ago. Two generations is not at all enough to see evolutionary yields.

Do you think a hundred years ago you'd be employed as a programmer, sitting at a desk?

Quite literally nothing has happened with Brexit yet -- other than the vote itself. "Doomsayers Stumble[d]" is a far conclusion to draw from the aftermath of an event that hasn't yet come to pass.

It can, it's just that the plaintiff has to prove they have a small penis.

I used Pool last night in the city. Took me from the Fidi to Inner Richmond. $2.37. It was almost cheaper than Muni. I can't imagine the drivers are making much at all .

I am convinced that superlative trees are cursed. The oldest tree in the world was killed while being dated (a core sample killed it). The most isolated tree in the world was hit by a drunk driver. The (2nd?) largest tree in the world was s

With a first past the post system, you will not see a third party win without one of the two main parties disintegrating (a la the Whigs in 1856). Stein cannot win. Johnson cannot win. I'm not making advance declarations; it is simply

There are two candidates with actual chances of winning; so "both presidential candidates" is fine to say.

Gullah is a neat language. I came across a website that had a Gullah translation of the bible -- at first glance it looks unintelligible, but when you read it out loud it makes complete sense (as a native english speaker): http:/&#x2F

The MTA was previously used against companies that simply facilitated marketplaces. I worked for a mobile-ordering startup called GoPago that got hit with a suit over the MTA since we were 'storing currency' (i.e., people paid us

Certainly there is teamwork in many films, but I feel in traditional films that teamwork is to work towards the common goal of 'freedom' (abstractly). In this Star Trek movie, it came down to a struggle of power vs (explicitly) &q

That would be my mistake -- I said blue-blooded in my original post and I meant red-blooded as you have pointed out.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out, edited my post. e: Augh, I missed changing the Star Wars -> Star Trek edit and now I can't edit; I have permanently lost nerd cred for making that mixup ;_;

I just saw the new Star Wars -- cofinanced by (e:) Alibaba films. In it, one of the moral cruxes of the main story was that the crew needed 'Unity'. I saw this as a subtle shift from american 'Freedom'. There's a &l

What a neat visualization, but falls on its face by implying mean score correlates to poor hygiene. Certainly one would want to avoid low-scoring restaurants, but if a region has a high mean score it could mean lax enforcement and lower r

I think the market is over-exuberant right now for sure, but I also feel that people like the Bay Area because the Bay Area is an exceedingly pleasant place to live . This market has hit a little perfect storm of pricing and may correct, b

I think in general that selling ongoing services is a good business model, but Apple's bread and butter and golden goose has been hardware. Their enormous cash reserves were built by hardware, not software. Certainly software was a bit

I have a $3k espresso machine but I also love gas station coffee -- there's something about it sitting on a bunn burner for probably 6 hours that adds something to the flavor, or maybe I just associate that flavor with super-early-morn

The only points I can pick out are: use node, make sure your db queries are on one index, and make sure you turn off features of modules/frameworks you're not utilizing. A lot of condescension for 3 small points.
