I live in the East Bay and have used Craigslist a few times and will continue to use them. Bought a bike, a TV, and some music gear. Going forward I'm going to try to never buy new music gear again, only used. People by an insane and s

Also a 2015 MBP user chiming in. I see absolutely no reason to upgrade. Currently in need of a battery replacement. Still deciding whether it's worth attempting myself or to just shell out the extra $100 for Apple to do it.

I assume the parent was talking about buying Netflix for the technology and not for the content.

I too would love to look into this. I spent a bit of time researching Kaliedoscope and Plex, It seems like a lot of work to initially setup, but once done having the ability to download torrents automatically or with a text sounds amazing.

To be honest he's not wrong. I bought my trad rack (widgets that go in cracks and carabiners for them) for around $2,000. Rope, shoes, helmet, harness, backpacks, etc on top of that is probably another $2,000 at most. Camping gear is a

This was a great article. I found the one on the author attempting to cut Amazon out of her life even more interesting: https://gizmodo.com/i-tried-to-block-amazon-from-my-life-it-... It's next to impossible. Maybe one

I took a Peace Studies class in college which focused heavily on non-violent communication techniques. Despite being something I took my senior year because I thought it would be easy, I have used the communication methods I learned in that

I'm in the same camp as you. I love Spotify and have 0 interest in amassing and maintaining my own music collection any more. Ever since they added the ability to play directly from the Spotify app to Sonos I couldn't be happier.

After some cursory research I've found the following two quotes. The first, from Wikiepdia, likely has other sources in the footnotes, but I didn't look. Honestly, I found it really hard to read your post and not view it as incred

This is an amazing story. Thanks for sharing. A movie I haven't yet seen mentioned in this thread is 180 Degrees South [0] which looks at a man following in the steps of Yvon, Doug Thompson, Lito Tejada-Flores, and Dick Dorworth who cl

I like the idea of this, but I have one non-negotiable - I have to be able to use Spotify on my phone. I have yet to see a minimalist solution that allows me to use my music player.

I also look forward to reading the postmortem. Stripe puts out a lot of high quality blog posts.

Wow. You're the maker of this? I know so many people that used this program over the years. Thanks!

Umm no. This is a terrible work environment. I don't work in a tech company and we have exactly 0 of the issues that you brought up.

Hard drive cables are a known issue in 2010/2011 MBPs. They were once acknowledged by Apple and replaced for free, but not anymore... Luckily they cost $10 on Amazon and can be replaced in 10 minutes with a small phillips screwdriver.

There's been a lot of threads like this recently that discuss changing the hiring process to more closely resemble day to day work and working with an actual codebase. My question is how does this work for new grads and people that hav

I've had my wireless charger for 4 months now and never once experienced this. You put it down and it makes a slight vibration to tell you its charging. Sometimes if I've had a few beers I don't hear the noise and I have to p

Except that simply isn't true. When randomly performing rotations you're much more likely to end up in certain states (as I mentioned in my other comment). Whether you make 10k random rotations or 20 random rotations you're s

I don't think generating every possibility of a cube is reasonably doable - it's over 43 quintillion - 10^16 Edit: I think you simply didn't understand what I was talking about. The distribution of states is not even. If you

Some positions are far, far more common than others. So generating a cube by a random string of rotations biases towards these positions. Take a look at the count of positions table in the bottom right corner of this page: http:/&#x2F

I've been fascinated by the Rubik's cube for years after learning to solve one in 7th grade. I started to get back into it high school and dropped my solve times down below a minute. Then I continued in college and got down to 25
