I live in New York (four years in Manhattan and a couple more in Brooklyn). I think "incredibly easy" is a gross exaggeration. I supposed you might be talking about the street carts, but street meat is questionably healthy /

This is fascinating. It's a well-written post and their plan makes sense to me, but I imagine there's a tough choice ahead for framework authors (the Laravels and Drupals of the world) about whether they want to fork their communi

Apparently as per the article they're at least offering refunds to some subset of their customers. Also, I think at $50 a lot more people would consider it. Keurig coffee makers seem to have done pretty well and I'm sure the $100

From a Daily Beast article linked in TFA: United Nations data show that Japan is still, in fact, the world’s largest producer and consumer of child pornography. Its usage is widespread, with as many as one in 10 men admitting they’ve watche

Why would it be restricted to post-IPO employees? It's pretty common to get RSU grants at a startup pre- or post-IPO. Typically you can negotiate the mix. Source: have received and negotiated on offers within the last three years from

To properly measure that you'd have to be constantly trying to use the phone (and power network) that entire time though no? I.e. Your random sample is not representative of when the service was actually available?
