I am Executive Platinum on American. I fly business class a lot, and have been able to get first class upgrades pretty easily. The first class product is very similar to business class - just slightly "fancier" food. I actually pr

It's just as easy to file in other districts as the Eastern District. Trolls like the Eastern District because of the judges currently sitting on the Eastern District, as well as the caliber of juries in the Tyler area. They're no

I grew up in Plano too! Closing the Willow Bend location could be a death knell for the mall - it brings substantial traffic to the property.

In 2013, I ordered 6 x Seagate Barracuda drives (3 TB). By 2017, 5 of the 6 had failed. There was a famed "bad batch" that I think my drives were a part of, but I will never buy Seagate again. I think Backblaze has the best public

I feel the exact same way - maybe that's the pain point a business needs to be solving - making much smaller bottles of one-off ingredients!

potentially, if it's economic enough. The typical shale wells that you see being drilled have very high initial rates, but then fall dramatically. They are a totally different well profile than the wells offshore (where shale is not be

I work in this industry. To answer your question, yes, there are oil and gas producers horizontally drilling wells, but not fracking them. This is actually quite common in offshore (Gulf of Mexico) environments. Your offshore pad is in a fi

nothing is wrong with UMN - OP is making a joke based on the common refrain that Google only hires Stanford/Harvard kids.

The Chinese women's team is actually pretty good. This is just banal political tripe. I feel like the author had a point that he wanted to make and just said anything to support it.

again, I don't see how you can draw a comparison between cheap Chinese manufacturers and an SV backed startup. Can you imagine the VC pitch for that? "We want to raise capital so we can make low-margin phones and that Chinese manu

I disagree with this. By starting at the low-end, you will never be able to "out-cost" cheap Chinese manufacturers, with their economies of scale. Across all industries - (Apple with the original iPhone, Tesla with the Model S, et

This seems to be a little bit of coastal elitism. Do you know what the largest market is right now for Bike Share? It's....Dallas! We have over 20,000 bikes in the city now. http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dalla

I'm not so sure about this one. I remember visiting the Bay in 2003 and housing prices took my breath away. Now, of course, it's stupefying. I think salaries have increased dramatically since that time frame, creating the percepti

I agree with you. Three Billboards was exactly this type of film. Not sure why it was not mentioned in the article.

I'm from Texas; I live in Dallas. I think Dallas is a much stronger option than Austin. Building a grocery store is far different than building a corporate campus. The interesting thing is that Amazon already has a presence in a lot of

I can't see Amazon moving to Austin. Austin is a very popular "2nd Campus" for tech companies, but it's not a great "HQ". 1) Poor airport connectivity 2) Seriously bad traffic options, with limited ability for

CTE is not about concussions. CTE is about repeated, sub-concussive hits ( https://concussionfoundation.org/CTE-resources/subconcussive... ) So, I don't think it's fair to say that you're not "killing

Oh I agree with you - the current tax holiday plan is just a dramatic wealth transfer from the rich to the poor. In an increasingly globalized environment, trickle down economic gains are diffused over investors all over the world. The curr

I have some thoughts about this. If we think about the strengths of the U.S. economy, it's the transparency, rule of law, and easy access to capital that U.S. companies have. We should encourage all companies to be formed here. I would

You and rrggrr are not arguing opposite things. "Theoretically", these investors who have received the profits from dividends and share buybacks will then turn around and invest money back into the economy.

That's great - but the Mi5 came out in February 2016. I'm not sure why you can compare it to a phone that was release in October 2013. I would hope that the Mi5 would be better than the 5s!

I am using an iphone 5s, 64 gb version - it's been my daily phone for since it was released. I've had no issues, other than finally replacing the battery this last year for $30. Admittedly, I'm upgrading this cycle, but I&#x2

I agree with you, but I would argue the opposite. If you wanted to tip over Texas (and make it blue), moving 50,000 progressive jobs is a great way to do it. I'm in Dallas, and we're a lot closer to doing this than you would expe

Companies and governments do not want to flare gas. That's money just disappearing. To use this gas, however, you need to have the infrastructure set up to take the gas - you need fertilizer plants, power plants, etc that can use the g
