While I was hoping to see something freeswitch-based when I clicked through, with how affordable Plivo and Twilio are, it really doesn't make much sense to try and run your own setup, unless you have something very custom to do or are

Also, don't forget that this is a relatively new development in situation. Historically, Deere has been a very reliable brand-name for farmers. Long term, they may do significant damage, but it will take time to erode the built-up good

An earlier article did a much better job layout why this is a huge problem for independent farmers: "The family farmer who owns this tractor is a friend of mine. He just wanted a better way to fix a minor hydraulic sensor. Every time t

Much of the rail expansion is rather disappointing. For example in expo phase 2, closer you get to ocean the better spaced the stations are (closer together), but between Bundy and sepulveda, there are no stations and little sane way to go

Very passionate write up, but what in gods name does Russia have to do with anything here?! No people in Moscow or other parts of Russia will not stop to correct a strangers scarf. In fact, most Russians don't even like eye contact wit

The guy doing the filming talks on the phone and says that "road to Talda" is being blocked by landslide. There is Bol'shaya Talda and Malaya Talda not too far from Novokuznetsk Kemerovskaya obl. That's in Siberia and do

California water issues are very complex as you state, but one big issue is going somewhat unaddressed by government - use of non-renewable underground sources. Currently, farmers are able to even increase production in the drought, but few

That's another extreme to me... 15 years for taking a life seems extremely low. With the ever extending life expectancy, this is not even half of persons productive years. Murder is an exceptional crime and deserves exceptional punishm

Sure, but we definitely have the funds as a state as pointed out in an earlier comment. If additional revenue is needed, the state has a rather healthy economy that could greatly benefit from additional water.

We happen to have a lot of sunshine and wind... It's possible even with current tech to build plants that could basically operate on 100% renewables.

This is why we should be looking seriously at desalinization for both drinking and irragation water. With proper designs, we should be able to mitigate a lot of the bad side effects while protecting more of the land based ecosystems.

Disclaimer: I don't live in SF or Bay Area, but visit for work often. That said, I do live in a place that is fairly constrained on new development, but not as badly as SF. For my part, the lifestyle that makes both of these places so

By your argument when one rents a $500k+ apartment, the landlord SHOULD be filling it with cameras and microphones. This is exactly why we have the "right to quiet enjoyment" and privacy when you rent a home. This car is covered b

I'm sure they can, but like you said - it's all political. From what I know, WA state uses real estate tax as one of the primary revenue streams (in addition to sales tax), whereas CA also has income tax. CA and WA seem to have si

Prop 13 for individuals/families serves largely the same purpose as rent control - to ensure that the place they live in stays affordable. If property values increase and there is no rent control, do you really expect landlords to not

The software they work is probably a lot more complex and customized to Edison. The article notes that some systems are involved in emergency response, which would make the system a lot harder to maintain due to the more stringent requireme

That, a long with many many other things that become a matter of getting a rubber-stamp from some stakeholder that is protecting a fiefdom, but doesn't really have anything to do with why that software is being bought. Although, legal

My experience is that this largely depends on the procurement practices of the company and whether or not your price range is low enough to be below discretionary expense limits. The greatest feature of SaaS has been the ability to take a 5

Marking invoices with 2%/7 NET 30 or any variation thereof is definitely a great practice. The shorthand means X% discount if paid in Y days, with full amount due in 30.

We don't need to pipe water far, smaller plants can be setup around communities that need the water. Much of the energy can be generated from solar.

As @Tommi mentioned, hover isn't a great concept in general, as UI elements are hidden and user has to discover them. Though, this is less of an issue in an app the user will be constantly using. Otherwise, excited to see this unfold!

The hover to reveal sub-task add button doesn't work well with tablets as you end up opening the task edit first and then you can click on the now visible plus sign. Otherwise, really cool app!

We need more posts like this and some education to the public. Until people are educated about their rights, crap like the NFL disclaimer will pass for facts.

In the warmer parts of the country, you are not looking at a lot of metal/brick. In California for example, you are looking at a lot of plywood and insulation mostly.

Living in a given society requires that one either accepts the norms of that society or works with the society to change them. Terrorists work AGAINST the society by use of force to try and elicit a change out of fear. Most times it backfir
