Except for the end where they say the NYPD is now investigating it and the person who reported it said he had a sense they didn't know how to handle it. That's why he brought the story to the media. So, yeah the system works if

That's revenue. Those large canvases he's selling his 'spray art' on aren't exactly cheap, especially for the larger ones. Also you're going to be paying NYC prices for your food and transportation. But yeah ov

Is it normal for nydailynews to have editorializing right in the subheadline? Yes. Very normal. It's a tabloid.

It may have been shady but even 8 year olds could tell that it was a 'club' and not a 'store' and knew that you had to cancel. It was "Join the club and get 8 CD's for free' not the other way around with s

Contrary to somewhat popular belief, Django's function-based views are not deprecated and as far as I know, there are no plans to remove them. Django's class-based views were introduced and the generic views ported over to the CBV

I looked into using LaTeX in an online service once but my understanding was that LaTeX is difficult to serve as a service because there are several commands which allow arbitrary code execution. Is this whitelisting some of the syntax? How

I took a look at the ID and calmly pointed out that it said “August 2013” in big letters on the ID, and that the numbers “8/10” meant “August 10th, 2013”, not “August, 2010”. I added, “See, even the expiration sticker says 2013 on it

I tip well too but the server doesnt know that. Maybe in non-competitive markets it works, but in a place like NYC where I lived before moving to Tokyo, a table/seat and the servers attention might be in high demand and servers would m

Interesting... if every restaurant in San Diego had tip-less systems, do you think that the 'average service quality' for the city would go down or would bad restaurants go out of business until an equilibrium was found that is hi

Having lived in Japan for the past few years, I'm so over the tipping culture it's pretty hard to stomach when I go back to the States. Besides the issues it causes for employers that this article covers, I really dislike the powe

I first noticed it with more and more 'realistic' baby dolls targeted at girls. Dolls that cry like a real baby, make noises, have wakeup timers, etc… totally unnecessary. After that, I just couldn't stop seeing it in other t

Hmm.. I wish people would stop thinking that what children need from a teddy bear (or any other doll-like toy) is more realism. Dolls are supposed to be for the child to project their own fantasy onto, not a portal into the internet. I&#x27

Also note that that quote from user madduck appears to be from a user of Salt in the issue tracker, not one of the project maintainers. It seems like they added a comment below and an edit to the first comment to clarify that.

I don't think Django is being held back at all. It's healthier than it has ever been. Consider that the reason you don't hear about it isn't due to it not being used but instead to a cultural difference in the people who
