That was one half of the reason. The other being that existing taxis are good enough. A similar story is playing out in Hong Kong, even without the government cracking down as hard. There are some annoying taxi drivers, but for the most par

Japan isn't famous for candies per se but they do have a lot of very interesting/sometimes bizarre treats that you won't find anywhere else in the world. E.g. Yuzu KitKat, chilli KitKat, caramel lamb, chocolate squid, coffee

When I lived in China, the railway in my city cost about $2.5/trip, was 99.9% on-time, and the interiors were clean and air-conditioned. And they were making $2bn/year in profits. What a world of difference.

The parent comment is referring to hard real-time systems (where not responding within a certain timeframe would lead to catastrophy). We're talking things like pacemakers, anti-lock brakes, industrial control systems. Regardless of ho

Took a look at DroidJack[0], and it's impressively nefarious. Seems like Android is Windows all over again when it comes to security. I already see people running virus scanners on their phones. [0]: http://www.symantec.com&

It uses Windows though, which should support Optimus and allow it to switch to integrated graphics.

I don't think Uber and Tesla are competing in any way. In fact, Travis Kalanick stated he would buy half a million Teslas if they became fully autonomous[0]. [0]: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1098997_uber-ce

That has to be a new development. I'm a student and I signed up for c9 about a year ago without a credit card. I just tried it myself and you're right, they just added it.

Using a Kindle/iPad/laptop really helps with ad nauseam dictionary lookups, since you can just tap the word and get the definition right there. The Kindle even saves looked-up words to a vocabulary list to help you remember them.

I'm glad Docker solves this for me, at least at the company I just joined. One of their microservices has tons of dependencies, including npm modules, databases, testing frameworks, and so on. Most people would scoff at using Docker as

I bet it had to do with the 2003 SARS epidemic in Hong Kong, as is also the case in other nearby Asian cities/countries like Taiwan and Singapore. I'm from HK and to the best of my memory the practice never existed before the epid

It's certainly fine for most drugs. The situation with weed is certainly the troubling one. You can test positive for it for almost a month after moderate use. Add to that fact its increasing legality and acceptance in the US and you&#

The stock situation is disappointing. They could've launched it a few dollars higher, and they'd still get the same demand with easier ramp-up.

Only 10 percent of 17- to 24-year-olds have a college or advanced degree I get that they're trying to capture the demographic of recent high school grads, but pushing it to something like 21-27 would give more realistic figures, and

Cool, thanks. It just gives an income-adjusted figure to be able to compare with other cities in the US, and around the world [0]. It also gives a rough idea of how long a typical household would have to save in order to buy a home (though
