Yup. What would Brian Boitano do?

Auto-play is a tax on the poor with limited data plans.

Pardon my ignorance here, never worked on this kinda program before, but isn't is actually hard on complex databases like Facebook to actually remove data, better just to mark it as unviewable?

Anytime a social network starts to show threatening growth, Zuck tries to buy them.

Wouldn't surprise me if some meth manufactures found the place to be fairly empty and was operating out of one of the buildings. Only to get caught shipping product somewhere and the FBI backtracked it to the observatory.

I just don't see what value private health insurance companies bring to the table anymore. They are not helping get the best coverage for their patients and they squeeze the crap out of the care-givers until its hardly worth their time.

As an early IT job, I worked for a famous boxing promotor who would take end of career fighters and charge them a fee to "school them" into bodyguards and find their first quazi-celeb client. Was fascinating to watch their training at the gym.

Would be interesting to know if these "silenced" channels have monetization turned on.

Because, to a lot of people, guns are a euphemism for...

Its a two way street. I had friends put an annoyatron in an airbnb they were staying in and knew I was going to stay in a few days later. So its not just the hosts you have to worry about...

You will get a much better idea of what real used cars cost when you look at the manheim numbers. Going to a retail website like Autotrader or cars is going to add a few grand to the price at least. Manheim is what the dealers pay at auction. True used car prices.

Legit forgot they were still for sale. After all the hype and lack of product availability it simply skipped my mind that they were now readily available to the masses!

I was using the term in a sarcastic tone around the buying of ad space. I'm a weird bird, apologies for the confusion around terminology.

Didn't Blue Apron and Square Space alone underwrite like half the podcasts in the world last year? Wonder what this means for podcast advertising in Q4/Q1-18

Your assumption is the "local businesses" own their property. I don't know many small grocery chains that own their lots. "All boats rise with the tide". High demand for residential means commercial and industrial zoned lots will also increase in value/rent/lease.

Loyal to Dexcom for the night and day changes their product made to the quality of life for my mother. But very glad to see Apple putting a foot into these waters.

Oh I get both sides of the debate. I also understand why we put regulations in place. Don't get me wrong, our government has fumbled the ball on a few occasions but generally regulations are only put in place once an industry habitually breaks the trust of our citizens.

Had to stop reading after this quote

"ISPs generally do not discriminate against highly-trafficked websites. If they did – holding a figurative gun to the head of those websites by throttling back speed to those websites – consumers would dump those ISPs in favor of others."

I'd believe this true if any of the large cities I have lived in actually had competition between ISPs.

The classic "Musicians make money touring, not selling records."

This is why the automotive Youtube "celebs" are launching GTCon a convention for car enthusiasts to get fans to meet them IRL and buy merch!

Wonder how bad it would be if they didn't subsidize rum production so heavily.

Its more about creating a delaying force against the "zerg rush" towards the capital than actually defeating an attacking superpower. If they can hold off the attacking force for 24-30 hours, they will have done their job.

Wonder how much of this can be tied to the economy getting better and more people buying/driving (used and less safe) cars when they previously couldn't afford to.

I wish they released a realtime cut of this. I feel like some of the quirks have been obscured with sped up footage.

Who is going to be the hero that converts FBI FOIA emails into automated faxes and offers it as a service?

Dual citizens?

Maybe because the ACLU is about American civil liberties.

Trump also doesn't drink, so I don't see him being the leader in relaxing vice laws.

Huge fan of EMDR. Worked at a PTSD decompression camp in NH for returning military. Had no experience with that type of treatment till I got to the camp. Blew me away. The changes that can happen after only a few weeks of therapy was impressive.

From my point of view, the market is saturated with all these startups offering mesh wifi services that are already "Apple-fied" in terms of simplicity to setup and activate.

Why bother developing in that space when you can just buy whichever startup matures to the largest market share? Throw those engineers somewhere else.

Either way, Samsung will have their 60% post-consumer bag on the market before Apples.
