Uhh, ever hear about the depression, dot com bubble, great recession/housing market crash? You're basically advocating "Let's do nothing, the market always corrects itself." Which is true to an extent, but in the ex

Do they charge people an additional price if the umbrellas aren't returned within a specified period of time? Seems like that would solve this problem, and that's what most (all?) bike-sharing services do.

The article does not imply such a thing. It might be related, it might not be, but there's been no studies about that, and the paper referenced in the article was published this week.

In a thread that's mostly discussing how fake news is defined, I thought it relevant to comment on it. To me it came off that he was calling it fake news and not being sarcastic. If that's not the case so be it but it wasn't

That's neither fake nor news. 1) You'd have to have a pretty loose definition of news to include that message as news. And 2) Ad-blockers obviously affect page content (by you know, blocking it). I don't have the data to supp

Agreed. When I take pictures I don't want a result stitched together from other pictures I took or someone else took. I want to remember my experience that I had at that moment.

After reading these arguments I was expecting something in the range of dollars per fax. Is 7 cents per page really that much? I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff, but are there really that many places out there faxing thousand

I suppose I haven't been to many large main branch libraries, but the BPL main branch is amazing to me. The building itself is incredible but the services they provide are top notch. It hosts great scheduled talks/discussions (for

That study assumes a lot (suddenly you have a 2 car household if you live in the suburbs vs 0 cars in the city?), looks at averages, analyzes two things that people spend money on, and only considers Vancouver and its suburbs. That's n

But there is a "everything's fine, no need to worry, I can't admit the horrible truth to myself" aspect that is similar in both circumstances.

>I think the price/performance ratio is mainly the grating point Really? Apply products are pretty consistently "overpriced" if judged by this metric. It doesn't seem all that different to me in this case.

This is exactly my fear with Project Fi. It's very intriguing to me and I'm considering switching over to it, but what happens if Google suddenly decides it's not "core enough" and decides to shuttle it?

>Their major issues were simply down to the weight of the vehicle and poor route selection. Which could have been solved by using a landrover instead.

Uhhh, right, but those options aren't really options since it would damage them far more than a policy that needs to be tweaked occasionally. "Shut facebook down" is a bit ridiculous. Congrats, you're technically correct

I don't know, I can see their point. It's not like they can review every picture individually, so they're going to need a general policy. They messed up, received backlash, and changed their policy based on it.

It's possible but the scammer specifically asks the author to delete the message before his mother reads it, so it seems unlikely.

by nck4222 10y ago
The message he sent to his brother was also sent to his mother, she just hadn't read it yet when the blog post was made. The author wasn't manipulated twice, he didn't let the scammer get away with it. Although he should prob

Why should I care what wcummings reckons about what physicists think about cities? Because smart people with different backgrounds talking together provide interesting insights, unless you simply dismiss them immediately with out listening.

It's probably worth remembering that this isn't absolute. In my experience this isn't the case at all, and probably differs from company to company, team to team.
