The really stupid thing about the light rail system, at least in the east valley, is that they could have run a line right up the middle of the 101 from South Chandler to North Scottsdale. Add a bus-fed stop every couple of miles, and that

I work on an open-source program full-time, being paid to work on it by a company that makes a commercial product overlaid on top of it. I don't feel like the company making a product based on it diminishes the work I do on it at all.

I got an email from an AWS recruiter recently with the subject "Join the AWS family yes or no?". My first reaction was to think "good god this feels like someone just passed me a note in middle school that said 'do you l

Steelcase Leap v2 with a headrest. I bought it new, since finding a refurb one with a headrest is really difficult. My company gave us a WFH-office-setup stipend at the start of COVID lockdowns though, so that paid for about half of it. I w

My wife and I maintain that fixed bed times are still one of the best parenting decisions we ever made. They're getting a little later as our kids get older, but we can definitely tell when the kids haven't gotten enough sleep. Th

I had nearly the same reaction to the GoFundMe page, one that I'm sure this person has uttered in his lifetime repeatedly: "maybe they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps". If that makes me a terrible person, t

Another comment I saw elsewhere said that the Elite league he plays in regularly is full of very good amateur/ex-pro players as well. It's not like they picked up a guy off the street and threw the pads on him. He had a ton of exp

It's mostly people who don't have kids/old people who vote with the mentality of "I don't have kids in school, why should I pay for other people's kids to go?"

I was prescribed tetracycline for my acne when I was in my late teens as well. It gave me a terrible sore throat (sharp stabbing kind of pain) so I stopped taking it. I've always told doctors since then that I'm allergic to it, be

Most kids can/do play a single sport year-round. Yes football is primarily in the summer/fall, but there are spring leagues for those kids who want to play. Same thing with baseball. My nephew takes the summer off from little leag

Except that there's really nothing wrong with Common Core and if you talk to most teachers they're for it (disclaimer: my wife, sister, and sister-in-law are all teachers, and my parents are retired teachers). Common Core is used

Common Core doesn't really have much to do with the glut of standardized testing. Common Core is more about setting a guideline for lesson planning, allowing teachers across the country to share lessons and techniques to teach. It wa

I imagine that in combat (as bows were used when these techniques were "lost") you didn't have to be bullseye-accurate. Close to where you were aiming is often good enough.

Does TechCrunch actually have any documented cases where Nest has connected to a customer's thermostat and modified the settings on it? Or are they simply talking in the realm of "we think they can probably do this"?
