I checked (had a friend who can't afford it but won)... it's non-transferable and you need to show up with a credit card and matching id. Sure I could have them pick up the glasses then use them myself, but Google owns the right to everyth

It did the equivalent of Boston to North Carolina in 3 minutes. Crazy testing something that covers so much distance so fast.

They say this explains why gastric bypass works, but from what I've seen, people who get gastric bypass can only physically eat a few calories per day in the beginning without terrible consequences. Eventually you can eat more, and I've se

It's a trump card because there would then be a second case against the defendant. He could say "Settle my first lawsuit and I'll drop assault charges on you", if you don't you'll be broke AND in prison.

Maybe there is a certain height where this comes into play, but I've seen trees growing naturally (not by design) in abandoned buildings. The first I could think of is the 13-story Highland building here in Pittsburgh you can kind of make

Yep, you have to think of that equity stake as the cost for a 5 minute Friday night commercial. I'm assuming such a commercial would cost maybe $30-50k or more, so it seems like a semi-fair deal (although since you are also the one creatin

There is almost certainly not a legal department at a startup of 60 people. I agree it's a very dumb thing to do legally, but I've seen lots of small companies make lots of legal mistakes, and could easily picture a founder freaking out th

Startups aren't like IBM, they don't often consult a "legal dept" (I doubt one exists at a company of 60 people), and often fly by the seat of the founder's pants. Either way it's really bad for SendGrid.

I normally agree with you, but in this case I find it quite relevant. All Hackers should be all notice now that the things they say in public or put on Twitter could cost them their jobs.

A tweet can be retweeted, it's absolutely meant to be public, while the former was meant to be private. In other words, you are saying one should be more careful about offending others in private conversations then on Twitter?

In general, it's legal to post pictures of people taken in public without their consent in the USA, especially at a large event like this where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

I started to agree with you in terms of "fair is fair", but on the other hand rape is severely undereported partly because of the embarrassment, if you know you'll be publicly named I can't imagine that will increase the number of reports.

I couldn't figure out why one area of my city kept having brown outs and water shortages, until I read this help article. Then I realized it was my street traffic that was a bottleneck. Yes, busses and cars stacked up at the entrance to m

It's not, that's my point. OP was saying this is revolutionary because it's less obtrusive then checking your phone and I'm saying it's equally or more obtrusive.

With the exception of the time, you need to use a voice command for everything else (as far as I can tell)... so i'm not sure being less disruptive is the primary use case.
