Same here, very confused by no plugin option. When I saw the article originally, got very excited. My 8 mile commute to the office is perfect for something like this... but swapping the battery kinda kills it for me.

The original comment seems to have misquoted this part: "I don’t blame them for this, they were placed in a nearly impossible situation by their customer, the (dutch, not associated with the company that built the whole thing) project

Or very limited vintages. I have a few bottles that were $35-50 when bought, but only had 150-300 cases made. No way to get another of that same kind and same year...

Exactly, this conversation is about extrinsic factors. It's a widely held belief that experiences of financial need drive some people to succeed financially. In my view, this is a personal question for every individual and not that use

The sad situation is that most American's don't have nearly enough saved for retirement and most never will. That's why social security actually exists and it's not that great for those that end-up depending solely on th

This seems very different from basic income discussed today. What they essentially describe is an expanded need-based assistance program. US provides a tax credit for very low income that essentially results in negative tax. The Swiss refer

I'm pretty sure it's more like 35+ years. Soviet Union has been gone for 23 years now. It's a Soviet love story where a guy gets so drunk with his buddies that he ends up getting on the plane instead of his friend and goes to

I think it depends on city density. Many streets in SF have about as many trees as light poles, so you'd probably have to replace all those with the glowing ones to make enough light.

That was my thought as well. Wildlife has adapted to the city life, but changing how trees work will definitely have unintended consequences. If like the other comments note, the impact is lost within a few generations, it's of less ri

Negative comment, 2 karma and this is an only comment you made... You look like a sock puppet to me :)

Eh... Propaganda has been so strong on both sides that I doubt we will ever know the truth. Personally, I'm very conflicted on the question of Crimea and don't think I can comment or discuss unbiasedly.

The politics and history there is much more complicated! I strongly believe that any country put in a position of power will expand the control by any means necessary. Your own history is far from flawless: http://en.m.wikipedia.

Not sure who down voted, as directionally you are correct. That said, there is such a thing as a health propensity to save in economics. You want the growth, etc., but you also want demand to be somewhat resistant to short-term ups/dow

There has been a good amount of discussion here about the merits of having an automated return generated by the government and have people simply either agree to it or update with additional deductions as appropriate. Unfortunately, because

The Lego Logo kit in school was my first introduction to robotics: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/20... Before that, I played around with BASIC, but was only moderately interes

My bad, in this case I agree somewhat. Though it helps fund USPS, I'd rather see USPS be a true public service and be funded by taxes and not funky arrangements with spammers.

Not sure that's accurate. From something posted on Cisco's website: "Apart from payment for the service, the carrier is absolved from liability regarding the content of the messages, and from the actions of the customers of t

That's exactly the problem. Having worked in telecom/voip space, it always baffled me how an ISP isn't a common carrier. The common carrier designation solves an entire slew of problems that were previously experienced with o

It doesn't subsidize it, such data "products" are a new revenue source for the ISPs. While I don't think it's wrong for them to want to make more money, it is wrong to alter a paid service and go directly against th

Wow, and I thought I had a bias for having relatives close to the conflict... A citation or two or three would be nice on all of this, as I do not share many of your assumptions. That said, without being there first hand, I don't think

Issue with Crimea is so much more complicated than that. While the inclusion of it as part of Ukraine in 1991 is not in dispute, the land was only "moved" into the Ukrainian SSR in 1954. At the time, it was about equivalent to tra

If US were to engage in open war with any other nuclear armed nation, fate of a few aircraft would be the least of our worries. Even if no nuke ever reached North America, the consequences will. Case in point is Fukushima radiation being de

So your thoughts are that roadkill is an effective population control for deer? Not really seeing this. For the mountain lions, that would be overall positive from my view, but of course carries the risk of attacks on pets and humans. These
