I would love to see a much more granular look at the data. Particularly another source that maps affordability against social mobility to see if there are smaller communities that sit in the sweet spot but were maybe too influenced by proxi

The thing is, coyotes aren't aggressive. Or particularly destructive either. They have the benign appearance and demeanor of shy dogs. It would take a lot of effort to witness a coyote being violent. As prey, you'd likely never se

In eastern Los Angeles, coyotes are everywhere , to the point where in some areas you run into them constantly day or night. They're stealthy - silent and very calculating. You can tell many of them are part domestic dog and they don&

I have a friend who's taught his potbelly pigs to count, and also certain tasks like putting away groups of objects when asked. Things I've never seen a dog do. If pigs were less grumpy and less tasty, I imagine people would see t

If dolphins were land mammals, would we be as fascinated by this type of cross-species social behavior? Dolphins are certainly interesting, but if I were to worry myself with the plight of a hyper-intelligent mammal species right now, I&#x2

The stark reminder that your password manager can change hands is probably the most bothersome part of this. Overall it's probably a good thing that the product is transferring to a more financially stable company with healthy enterpri

HN has become a tough crowd to please these days... If folks demand a complete answer from me, then here is the super dull list of reasons I use BuiltWith: 1. I have clients that ask me to check out XY thing on a competitor site. A lot. 2.

I started doing some research, found my way to BuiltWith and have wound up using it pretty regularly now. It's one of those tools I'd never have thought I needed until I became dependent on it. I had no idea how much time I was wa

I've been kind of knocking around the idea of drafting up online courses in that area. Shrugged it off as potentially not having enough demand, but your comment is interesting. Love to learn more about the courses you're hunting f

Vintage electronic music gear, which is still widely popular with certain genres of music, use floppies heavily. 12-bit samplers like the E-mu SP-1200 and Akai MPC60 which are still popular with hip hop producers rely on floppies. A number

Retrofitting American suburban sprawl to be less car-centric is going to be one of the enduring puzzles of the 21st century. The suburban model of planning championed in the 50's onwards became so deeply embedded in development project
