I did a casual bike tour through hundreds of miles of Netherlands and Belgium. We wore helmets, obviously. Not wearing a helmet is inconsisent with having many standards for reflectors and traffic planning. Although someone maybe slightly

There should be vinyl wrap for bikes that provides a paintable, duct-tapeable substrain for camo tape and radioactive fuchsia and orange also camo ejaculation. Flat (no shine) paint makes a bike even less attractive. PS: I had a old/ug

Cryptocurrency evolution may end up looking like railroad track gauges. 1, 2, many in a Cambrian explosion and then mergers/acquisitions into just a few used everyday. The others will be there but little used.

Currently, US wages continue to slide and the middle class shrinks, while the top 8 billionaires own as much wealth as half of the world. This libertarian, trickle-down, union-busting, union-whining nonsense has to stop if people are to rea

Exactly. Unions built the middle class. Watch Robert Reich's "Inequality for All" which demonstrates how unions benefit workers. In the old days, unions were formed because robber-barons cheated workers out of pay, much like

Replace transit passes and employee/residence/parking garage badges. Interesting story: I was in London and had an Oyster card but forgot I had the Clipper card for the SF Bay Area too. On seemingly reading the Clipper card, the T

I have an iPhone 6S, QC35 and a MBP 13 mid-2012. The Mac won't stay paired after booting and sleeping once. Only fixed by rebooting (kext reloading, process killing, bluetooth debug menu don't work). Also, it's annoying that

That's a false dichotomy followed by a false equivalency. Escaping certain death in Honduras to work as a bus-boy or entrepreneur creating 20 jobs isn't anything like robbing a bank. There is no process for waiting for bureacratic
