Pretty serious MTB/cyclocross racer here that's done a lot of trailbuilding and trail advocacy: a lot of dudes are scared that offroad ebikes are going to kill access to hard-won trails. It's a not-unfounded fear as…
I have no expertise in any of this, but I was assuming it would be something along the lines of an IDIQ (indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity) contract vehicle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDIQ
In discussion on other HN threads, some commenters suggested that the board was composed that way to grease the wheels of a DoD acquisition of the company's "tech". As OP put it…
You are a set of eyeballs or "impressions." Maybe you won't click on the ad, but you were displayed it, which is a success in and of itself.
You should read about the "third person effect": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_effect "The Third-person effect [1] hypothesis or Third-person perception or Web Third-person effect [2] predicts that people…
Neither of those situations you provide above. As noted in the article I link and quote further down the thread, these companies utilize an often-desperate workforce that will take whatever they can get to work. These…
I can't rely directly to yummyfajitas, but here is a NYT article that summarizes the issue[1]: "“They may be able to paint someone’s shed this week,” says Dr. Standing, a professor of developmental studies at the…
Also, the companies are deflecting costs back onto taxpayers by ensuring that many of their workers will need to depend on government services for health care, housing and food assistance, etc. Sure, some of these…

It's also model-contingent and sometimes luck. My SAAB has required about $1,600 a year for repairs and maintenance in the past three years I've owned it, but my wife's Honda Element has required only new tires ($500)…
Yes, there is that limit –– and a good one. You could get around it maybe if you were with some friends doing a klatsch with staggered drinking rates and drink start times, but then you'd just look really cheap.
Two in Chicago (Lincoln Park and Mag Mile), but both of those areas are basically outdoor malls in a loose sense.
Absolutely agree. Bitcoin is one of the hottest news stories right now. People want to know more about Bitcoin. A big question about Bitcoin is "who created Bitcoin?" Newsweek answered that question. This is journalism…
People also probably give you immense grief over the ridiculous tax deal the stadium has with Hamilton County. :p
I have a 16 year old sister. She was on Facebook and then deleted her profile. She deleted her profile at about the same time she went from being semi-awkward early teenager still shaking off her Russian accent (we…
This was the first thing I thought when I saw that subhead.
Oh, this. My first few years at a university I was a horrible student. I'm talking C's, D's, lots of non-completes. I was a mess, academically. Then around 22, a switch clicked in my head and I made it happen. Dean's…
I was a Mac kid, so my world was Marathon, but I think a lot of the lessons are the same. I remember building my own custom worlds, really screwing up the physics, and then deleting en masse. Whenever I play shooters…
Wow, I passed through Kansas City a few months ago on a cross-country move and wish I knew about this store (and stopped in). I don't often fund kickstarters, but this one I could get behind –– something about it…
The funny thing is, is that when you use Siri, Apple Maps seems to be more accurate. I can say, "Directions from home to 123 Main Street, Hometown" and the directions will be perfect. If I type that same query out, I…
They're still out there. There are some very cherry examples on saab.net My girl's Viggen was the lightning blue coupe. She sold it when she got into grad school. We often talk about getting another...
It's really weird. Any sort of subculture is kinda hipster now. I am into punk rock and cycling. I am not afraid to say that I am probably a hipster. In fact, I am sure of it. Hipster-bashing kinda reminds me of being…
I totally, absolutely agree. Once you give up exercise, it goes downhill fast: mentally, spiritually, and of course, physically. The morning is the best time to take care of the body. I am a cyclist and I love nothing…
My 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero has the crayon smell in it, too. IIRC, it was the glue used to assemble the interior. They changed the process in 2003ish, so more recent Saabs don't have the crayon odor. My wife has a 2002 9-3 SE…
