I'd have to say you lucked into a pretty special deal and not representative of much within 20 minutes of SF (and is that 20 minutes at midnight or during rush hour?). :-)

Prop 13 causes all sorts of issues. Many people want to move (kids moved out, changed jobs, etc.) but they can't because they would not be able to afford the huge jump in property taxes. It's just another thing that creates artifi

A decent amount of people wear rolexes which are > $5000. You probably just don't notice them because they are fairly understated. I'd also imagine guns for drug dealers have a more practical use case than conspicuous consumpti

I read an article recently that in the past they did not measure founder metrics like this besides gender but were considering doing so going forward.

A fair point. You're probably not running on average sub 8:30 miles unless you are training for performance in some form or fashion. Because it generally hurts quite a bit. :-) With the "speed cutoff" You are also probabl

Anecdotal opinion of someone that ran 6:50ish per mile pace yesterday in the SF Kaiser Half-Marathon and thus am apparently shortening my life... Those of us trying to run faster and be competitive (whether with ourselves or others) really

Strenuous jogging is called running. </pedantic runner>

I disagree. Using a probably hyperbolic metaphor: I don't want to be a slave but neither do I wish to be anybody else's master.

Just a random addition. Someone in this thread posited that this was "Patty" as mentioned in this blog post I read today. http://consultingadultblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/unreasonable... I just thought it

I suppose that is true. However, I see money as giving me the ability to not have to do what others want me to do (within legal bounds of course).

You can easily setup alerts and such when you go over a certain cost run-rate. Of course you need to know how to do that. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/...

I used to love ASUS because of my experience with their motherboards in the past. Dealing with their support on an ASUS Zenbook has been quite disappointed. They decided to use a proprietary SSD form factor that makes replacing it very diff

My pet theory (with some anecdotal evidence) is that a lot of external investors are buying up most of the inventory. And a lot of young people making > 100k will spend large amounts of their income to live in the bay area even if they h

That is the whole point. The price IS going to go down overt time. So by getting you to commit to a price Amazon can more accurately predict their growth and you get a fairly decent discount in trade. 1 year terms are much wiser IMHO becaus

Thank you so much for the synopsis and illustrating one of the points of scientific studies: Even if answers are a foregone conclusion surprising results do occur. Even confirming the foregone conclusion has value.

Laws can't satisfy every single edge case. I have to sometimes run red protected left turn lights (very carefully) on my motorcycle because they don't sense it. Sometimes you have to swerve out of your lane due to an emergency, et

Thanks for posting this. Bob Kennedy is one of my heroes. He used to be the only American to break 13:00 for the 5k. I remember with two laps to go he tried to win the 5k in the olympics in Atlanta. I met him once at the Chicago Marathon an

Regarding the Surge, if it competes with offerings like the Garmin Forerunner 220 (and the GPS is accurate) it might be a really good price point. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/running/forer

I may be speaking out of turn but wouldn't this be an object lesson of 'if you like something, pay for it'? Going out of business hurts everyone and frankly I think it's OK for customers to share some of that pain. I hon

Is it really that probable that an email was sent to him from the company he is applying to and someone spoofed that to send him malware? I agree with the root point only because the company could have easily done something like `echo &quot

The "status" element never even occurred to me and recall that Uber also has Uber X which doesn't confer the status of the "black car" and is basically about the same as Lyft. I think in most urban environments, par

Once again we are talking about having an email retrieval function while not storing the email address in plaintext. A "global salt" or "pepper" (as we are apparently calling it now) just prevents enormous pre-generated

Right but in this case you would essentially have to use every salt from every user to hash the submitted email and say "aha user 123,456 has a salt and hashed email which matches the submitted email of foo@example.com" which is w
