While I'm not typical, I think there are a good number in a similar position: I've got a house with a roof approaching it's end of life. I use 4MWh/month. My electricity bill goes between $1.2k and 2.4k. A Solar City roo

28L was dark apart from the X, and the taxiway was lit (albeit with taxi Lane instead of runway lights). Expecting two lit lanes and approaching the one on the right, they certainly saw something "off" but this wasn't a case

It's just the same data in 3 different forms, right? And the second is pretty misleading, comparing percentages as if they were some part of a whole.

If you're looking to add a checksum, why not use an existing format that does things like variable precision and proximity well like geohash ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash ) and just tack on a checksum digit

We just made the switch and I'm in agreement-- too noisy to be a serious tool. But there is an all/here distinction-- just named everyone/channel.

I think the reason this attitude exists is because the barrier of entry for engineering is higher and more concrete than it is for marketing, or sales, or product. Most people can walk into an entry-level marketing job and get things done,

Ideally, A's credit is discounted and B can only relieve $7 of their debt to you with the $10 A-note (or whatever you value A's debt at). They can choose to take it, or try to collect their $10. Eventually, as people's valu

I think you misunderstood. It sounds like he's keeping his DropBox account active for a while until this blows over, then will actually cut it off.

What does one do when that person has a rank that exceeds correction? (Other than up and leave) Say a cofounder who is the classic combination of huge ego and low competency. When addressed about being respectful, a typical response is, &

Alternatively, it would be an interesting practice if some section of the project got thousands or tens of thousands of commits. I'd be interested to see a case with 100k defendants.

It's an interesting question of how much resources law enforcement should assign to a case like this. Many fierce proponents of Bitcoins are the anarchy-leaning libertarians. Its appeal is that government agencies can't track and

Exactly. That seems to support his statement.

Or it was the case, it was the perfectly right thing to do, and he just got unlucky.

If you're renting your first couple places, absolutely not. But at some point you hit a mark where you have a property manager doing all the day-to-day and a few leasing agents filling vacancies and it becomes as passive as you want i

You expect me to go to private industry to find someone to monitor my life? Do you have any idea how much that would cost? Some things just make sense to do at national scale, even if there are a small minority who don't appreciate th

I bet you a significant portion of the traffic is now coming over the mobile phone. If 40% of the students preferred that site, I'd bet its enough of an improvement to warrant some small-screen browsing.

Looks cool. But with just a company name and a job title you're going to connect me to a student? Seems like you'll get a lot of near misses. Seems like you might be better off getting LinkedIn profiles or something and letting

It seems a bit odd that they're quoting their Junior class makeup-- makes me think that's the best data point they have, and it exaggerates their success. My understanding is that CS enrollment by gender isn't the issue, it&

All good points, but #2 stuck out the biggest for me. It's not just the wording, but the fact that the only reason I'd be interested in dating someone is because they're physically attractive. It makes this look like Faceboo

This is over the top awesome. Really just a well-executed tool for developing with/against apis. Literally had it up and working in our QA environment in 30 seconds. I'm interested to see where you go with it.

Peanut allergies can kill a kid pretty quickly. While it is a very small percentage of people who react strongly enough to it, if you've got a kid in the school with a known hypersensitivity, banning is not a bad idea. Anaphylaxis from foo

I have nothing to add to the discussion at large, so... I find the phrase, "I could care less" charming. I'm not sure if it was originally intended as simple sarcasm (or more likely a misspoken phrase) but to me in its form it has a gentle

I'd be interested in seeing how you go about deciding that "lack of hunger due to overpayment" was the reason for underperformance.
