Wow, this is wholly unrealistic. When I take commuter rail, its a 10 minute trip to the train station, and I need to be there 5 minutes before. When I get off I'm also right in downtown, instead of out in the brambles like SeaTac, JFK

Were you using decent microSDs? Was each mSD getting QC'ed? We benchmark every single mSD before deploying an SBC with it, and have switched to only using Evo+ 32GB cards as they pass our QC 3/5 of the time, which is much better t

I'm trying to think of where I could even drum up an Xbox One, but I think I'd be up a creek without a paddle myself. None of my friends own one (though they own 360's and PS4's) and none of the MS employees I know own a

Short lines & spurs have nearly all been spun off into small, local railroad companies as BNSF, UP & CNX don't want to deal with the expensive, time consuming short lines. The major rail companies would much rather move mile lo

Build denser neighborhoods, eliminate the need for long commutes in general. Commuting is not adding value to our economy, it is just a large money pit that we throw gas, maintenance, and tax dollars into. The concept of low-rise residentia

Sprawling cities are really bad, you end up paving over and building atop your best farmland. Dense development is cheaper in both the short term & long term, if we remove zoning barriers to it we can have affordable, unsubsidized and n

There is a huge difference between affordable housing, and building "Affordable" housing. Rent regulation causes prices for unregulated units to increase dramatically (cross-subsidizing regulated units). Is it better to have 100 u

Sure, but even 2014 phones like the Lumia 830, 929, et all got upgraded to W10P, Microsoft has made much more of an effort than Google to support 3 year old hardware.

Huh? You could easily live a comfortable life on $55k a year in say Tacoma, WA or Eugene, OR with a wife and a kid. I've earned less than $45k a year living on my own in Seattle not even 5 years ago, and despite shopping at expensive s

That is completely insane, I can't believe us taxpayers in Washington State are massively subsidizing these ranchers. Letting them graze their cattle for free on public lands is a huge giveaway, but then to kill part of the environment

What the fuck? No, if I run into a bison or it rams me, that is a risk I took and I carry insurance to cover that. Same if a deer jumps out in front of my car again and totals it, in no reasonable world is the government going to take on un

I like them better (and own multiple) but I do have to admit that MacBooks really do more with less. Still, I don't own one or plan to buy a MBP.

by posguy 9y ago
Why should the government subsidize ranchers? Seriously, the fact that ranchers got away with unrestricted grazing and nary a threat from other wildlife for decades was a gift, and if ranchers thought the government would allow them to cont

Huh? MacBooks are unlikely to disappear, companies love how slowly they depreciate (and are easily sellable), while it is by far the most optimized unix system out there. Pound for pound, a MacBook will last longer while doing more than a W

I'd be a touch less sympathetic, the 800 animals lost to wolves a year out of a population of over 1.6 million is infinitesimally small, if anything it shows wolves are not a notable threat to herds grazing on public lands. Another art

Wow, what an asshole of a hunter, to bait these wolves out, he kills a horse in a creek, fouling it for the local residents who rely on it & making them boil their water so its drinkable (very expensive to do). Beyond killing the majori

Its definitely been hit and miss, in SE Portland you really can see which neighbors ponied up, as the city asked residents to fund part of the cost of the speed bumps added in parts of SE to reduce through traffic speed. Hence why some are

Seems like a net good, I'd rather a strong middle class due to decent trade policies than a "free" market causing severe wealth stratification with the bulk of the populace being poor.

What model? I've been buying used Thinkpads as of late (all Lenovo) and while I do see a slow quality down-ramp, even the newest are more robust than a similar Asus. When it comes to x86-64, everything is back-doored, make no bones abo

Looks like they just do a HLR lookup to get cellphone location, which at worst gives you the cell tower location and sector the phone is connected to.

I've used those at past workplaces that had Keurig machines, while it works it is a mess to clean, and essentially requires a sink to clean. Comparatively, drip coffee grounds are self contained in a paper filter.

by posguy 9y ago
Yeah, if you want awful coffee, Keurig is here to service you! Otherwise, a simple hot pot can heat water and make you a good cup of drip coffee without grounds at a much lower price point, and it is compostable/yardwasteable, unlike t

Sounds like a lot of home cookin' going on there, with the EpiPen being only the crescendo of scandals caused by this group of family & friends. It would be great if we could clean house and replace those acting in bad faith.
