I find it much easier to smoke here than when I lived in Seattle, where everything is smoke free there; vape culture is also much bigger on the West coast. I actually haven't noticed being in a smoke free apartment in NYC, yet. But cer

I've gone as far as getting months of gym memberships over turned after they told me one thing in person and then told me another thing a few months later when I started getting billed again. Charge backs and the point systems are the

Well now you have some source code to start with :) I doubt writing all the notes which people send out, of which there are a few batches (invites, RSVP, thanks), could be less than writing this, which isn't much more than sample twili

Glad you followed up with "in my opinion". All in all sounds very preachy to me. Either way, this sounds like a way you say it vs. what you said argument. I'd rather have someone share a special moment in their life with me t

This. Its like learning how to do anything else using edges like surfing, ice skating, skiing. First you learn how to balance and then you learn how to turn. After that, you can basically ski 50% of most mountains (that is in bounds terrain

Yes I was using CondoInternet in one of the newer apartments. I guess it comes as a perk when the entire downtown is ripped up, you get a chance to lay new fiber.

Can confirm. I can pull a max of maybe 10 mbps down most times on my 100/10 plan. To upgrade to a 250/something plan they want a 250+ fee and 100 something per month. I was spoiled back in Seattle with my 1gbps for 80 a month. Int

Sorry, yes might have been a bit of a hyperbole but to me a short flight is almost anything that doesn't require a sleeping for 7 hours on the flight.

Came here to say that. It is ridiculously expensive there and that is the reason why smoking has dropped. I know plenty of aussie's who still smoke though. To me, the weirdest bit is how cheap it is a short flight away, say Indonesia;

Since it was a limited release, I think a better question is how many people do you know that want/wanted a pair of Spectacles? How many people were willing to pay above retail for a pair?

I didn't say it did anything amazing/revolutionary. At the end of the day its just a giant TV with touch features. The key bit is they got 95% of "it" right, the "it just works" factor is huge. The integration

Honestly, compared to Dota 2, where you're spending probably 45 minutes playing with uncoordinated teammates, everyone doesn't speak the same language and you probably lose, its a walk in the park (I love both of those games).

Exactly. To further hypothesize, Drexel, a Philadelphia university, offers mostly 5 year degrees with co-ops which more often than not involve local Philadelphia companies.

From 5 minutes out of Philly and went to UPenn. "Jawn" is certainly used as the all purpose noun from this article and I've never heard it used as "the shit". The only other way I have heard it used for is as a code

Depends how its grown. RAND estimated somewhere around "225 per pound for a successful, wellmanaged operation, plus in-kind contribution of labor...". This was done in 2010 and so its a little outdated now but still a great read.

What is the difference between buying fake views/accounts/friends etc. or backlinking and other SEO 'tricks'? Unfortunately for them, both companies have to curate their product. For a google example, see the Rap Genius

Between all the squabbling in this thread, your post shines through like a ray of sunlight. You don't see this type of thing often on the internet without it being faked. Life is good sometimes.

I would say shipping on most items is about 5 to 10 dollars. So averaging a little less than two packages a month and you break even. Not too bad. For me, the holidays shipping season will easily cover any month I didn't average 1 pack

I mean I guess that is one way to look at it. The other could be that they settled. If Google wins the case they pay 5% more of zero, if they lose, Microsoft pays more but so does Google. Its not totally win-win but yeah I can see it mostly

I was just about to comment the same thing about QuickCheck. Arbitrary data galore. I've only done serious work with QuickCheck in Haskell but here's the python implementation I've played with: https://pypi.python.
