i'm sure this is a very useful product, and i understand that "addict" contains the letters "AD", but naming something "addict" while half the US drowns in opioids seems a little weird
Re:The Steady Rise of Bike Ridership in New York on Friday April 17, 2015 @12:02PM (#9395167)
I'd love to ride my bike to work but don't really have a place to put it during they day; ideally, the building would have a large, relatively secure space with bike racks in the basement or something (which it doesn't; nor do most buildings, as far as I can tell). I doubt my bike would make it more than a couple of weeks with seat and wheels intact if I locked it on the street.

> It is time for engineers–especially excellent engineers for whom demand is high–to start to flatly refuse to do whiteboard interviews.

This might be a viable strategy for people who have a well-established career/credentials/references (etc), but for junior-level candidates still trying to prove themselves (such as myself) I can't see this working out too well.

> If he says something now, the reactionary portion of the GOP will take the opposite position as a knee-jerk response. It will become a larger news item and the GOP will have inherited the fallout.

Yeah, exactly. It's a pretty savvy way to drive a wedge through the GOP, and you already see the obstructionist crowd (e.g., Ted Cruz) playing right into it.

What happens if you drop your Prime membership?

North Korea is colored red with no explanatory text... is that just to say "come on, it's North Korea?"
