I am not who you were asking, but I exclusively use pen and paper during meetings. I try to keep my laptop closed and transcribe action items to a personal trello board after the meeting is done. The trello part is more recent, but I have n

Blizzard actually puts on new games, content for their games, and turns an enormous profit. So no they are not. I am really curious if you are either an employee at CIG or just a really passionate backer of the project based on your unrelen

The fake news being talked about is actually fake, as in nearly 100% made up with the intention to misinform. It's definitely not new but I saw it way more during the election and it's very different from shittt reporting. Maybe I

I have two of these at work hooked up to a docked surface pro 2. Probably the best monitor I've used at work. Liked it so much I picked up the 1440p version for my desktop at home.

A blood sample? The only fields they ask for that might be too much for someone is a phone number and prior email, and neither is required to make an account. I take my privacy very seriously and understand a lot of the apprehension about G

I've been doing it for a few years now. I write most of my software using PyCharm on the windows. I usually have an Ubuntu or CentOS VM running at all times for various testing reasons.

This is minor, but I used the Random Everything( https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Random%20Everything ) sublime package at work relatively frequently. I eventually needed to quickly generate lists of up addresses. I us

For those interested in this, check out Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck. It was written in 1962, but I think it holds up well. An aged Steinbeck feels out of touch with a country he is famous for writing about. T

Can I ask what you find interesting about that? That has to be one of the oldest forms of radio/TV ads. "This program is brought to you by -insert brand name, followed by slogan of the brand-".

To get your first ID in my state, you need to provide proof of signature, birthdate, social security number and residency. The closest government office to me is a 15 min drive, 30 min bus ride, or a hour and a half walk. The wait varies bu

This reminds me of my mother wishing her neighbor happy birthday on April 20th because his Wifi network name had 420 at the end of it.

Huff Post is complete trash, but there is a big difference between fabricated stories and garbage presentation.

I understand and can appreciate the support people have on HN for legalizing all drugs, but you trying to compare it to the Ivory trade is absolutely ludicrous. Just take a minute to compare the source differences between a popular drug lik

Your pot/music comparison to show reflexes being unaffected doesn't really work when the music industry has a long history of drug abuse of all kinds, including alcohol. It's not very hard to find stories or even videos of mu

Heh apparently this isn't that unique! I had 2 banks prior to simple and none had notifications close to the level that Simple offers. It's great to hear others have it because I wont use a bank that doesn't offer something s

I'll vouche for Simple. Their app and Goals feature are great, but the thing I love is the real time purchase notifications. It's kind of amazing to me that no bank (that I have used yet) have apps with this functionality. It&#x27

Similar situation. Came home to my house broken into, backdoor was completely smashed in, luckily the robbers were gone. When I called 911 from my cell I got an operator from a neighboring town; my house is on the border of a major US city

I didn't buy into this, but honestly wouldn't feel bad for doing so. The people behind CAH donate a large amount of their money to charity and recently started a scholarship for woman in sciences. In fact the last stunt they did l

I think it's just a way people can relate to a disaster. It's incredibly difficult to comprehend the damage of an event like this. Reducing it down to the number of lives lost, or money in damage adds context that people can under
