Usually this happens because they aren't allowed to hire more employees but they still have the same work to do. A lot of workers don't want the extra shifts because they have a home life but there are outliers who will take every

The biggest problem is usually that they have to work at night, due to requirements to keep roads available during normal usage hours. That really slows things down and raises costs.

I'm good on music theory right up to time signatures. It seems like black magic to me, and often it is taught by just asking you to hear the beats and I just don't hear them.

Also it's pretty dusty, so doing a controlled burn all the way down (like SpaceX does on Earth) kicks up a huge dust cloud which settles on all your nice solar panels.

In some of these cities, you also have the issue where people are renting out their state subsidized housing as unregulated hotels. So they aren't even paying market rent for the place in the first place.

In a lot of countries, bank account is just the standard way of paying for everything.

Isn't every one of those partner lawyers a boss to one or more paralegals? And usually there are a bunch of new grad lawyers around trying to make partner, I'm sure they don't consider themselves equal.

For me, they also tend to throw in large cities like New York and Chicago. A lot of people know someone in a big city and might be willing to pick up an unknown number.

Yeah it amazes me that an Apple hosted page is unusable on an iPhone because they don't customize their installation.

A store like CostCo that probably has a $5 minimum item price could be a good market for it.

Yes, getting a pet from a rescue or shelter can be difficult but from a private seller it's just a cash transaction. But I admire the click bait headline.

That program is really only appealing to the people who upgrade their phone ever year, which has got to be a small part of the market. Lucrative to Apple, I'm sure.

Most of their inter-island flights are every hour all day and I wouldn't be surprised if they take off early if they have all the passengers on-board.

A third of those were before the car was even revealed.

They barely communicated anything at the reveal. It was like a few minutes of leadup, five bullet points about the 3, and then they showed the cars and ended it. Given the audience they had, a bit of a wasted opportunity.

Yeah, it's usually called an "electronic communication" in legal stuff, and cannot be substituted for the mail. I've seen this come up in organization bylaws that say that things need to be done via postal mail, and the

I saw this in Honolulu last week: http://i.imgur.com/WIdrgiG.png I assume the extra "markings" are related to a road repair, but I couldn't imagine a worse situation for a self-driving car.

It's just getting to the point where emailing a company through the normal support channels is just a joke. Their email queue is days long, while their Twitter queue is minutes.

It makes them more likely to help you and less likely to do it happily. Depends on circumstances whether that is better for you.

So if you use Inbox regularly but still go through GMail to get there, eventually it starts taking you to Inbox directly? Seems like good design to me.
