we were not. all of us made exactly the same amount, and it was well under market rate
salary for four employees working well under market rate
I drive a top trim 2021 Mazda 6 and as far as I can tell it doesn't even have any sort of bidirectional data transmission outside of the standard Sirius XM traffic/weather/whatever systems. The internal GPS doesn't even work right since i declined to buy the $400 map pack (carplay is more than good enough for me). I haven't read any privacy policies yet, but my hunch is that there's nothing that bad in them, especially since I'm not even sure how they'd get the data off beyond a dealer service.
as a jew, this is simply the nature of judaism
Xkit is still actively maintained, albeit by a new team [1]. When I saw this, my first thought was "since when was Xkit a YC company," so definitely an unfortunate name collision.

LTE uses SIM cards regardless of the network's voice system.
The suspension in the Model S is computer controlled, so they just push an update to control it differently!
I'm currently on a $30 T-Mobile Mothly4G plan on a Galaxy Nexus. The catch is that, in my area, T-Mobile's service isn't quite as good as Verizon's, who I was previously with.
And that's it. That is literally the only complaint I've had and, for $30 a month, I'm willing to live with that.
This would be really neat if the sd slot on my macbook even worked. Has anyone else had this problem?
It seems unlikely that VPNs will ever become completely illegal, at least not in the US. Too many very large companies use them for Congress to consider it. They may make them illegal for non-corporate uses, but that would be difficult to enforce and overall useless.
I believe reddit's gives newer posts more points, rather than taking away points from older posts.
I might be wrong, though. It's been a while since I've looked at that part of the code.
No, it's shitty journalism in action.
This may be somewhat irrelevant, but what is the motivation for having a case-sensitive HFS volume? I agree that Adobe should support it (and separate volume installation) because these are edge cases that should be accounted for, but I've never heard the reasoning for having a case-sensitive format.

"Depressed people are found to be more rational than the people who feel successful."
You know how I can tell you don't have depression?
I was trying to make a joke about the addictiveness of reddit, but I agree, several of the subreddits are just complete bigoted shit. I've taken to just unsubscribing from them rather than getting angry everytime a post comes up.
You mean other than just using reddit?
Except that Zynga actually makes profit.
I had the idea to do this (albeit, manually) a while ago, syncing the audio from Justice's "A Cross The Universe" with Youtube video of the concert it came from.
Really cool to see it done, though!
It's still very clear what you're getting with each Kindle product.
Kindle DX has a massive screen, Kindle Keyboard has a keyboard, Kindle Touch has a touch screen, Kindle has buttons, Kindle Fire is a tablet.
And then there's the 3G and Wi-Fi splits, but that's also an obvious feature.
Aren't you Aaron's brother? I remember him showing me this a couple months ago.
It's a really nice looking app, both aesthetically and functionally. If I drank tea I'm sure I'd use it.
This is probably one of the coolest hacks I have ever seen.
Practical? Hell no. Awesome? Hell yes.
That's what I've been seeing a lot too. Almost everyone recommending college over the jobs are life, not potential career benefits.
I'm American as well, btw.

So here's some background:I'm a high school senior that's about to graduate in May. I'm currently working for a local (and damn fine) new media firm as the only iOS developer. I started as a development intern over the summer and got hired for the school year on a part time basis.My life plan had basically been to go to school for a comp sci degree and then get a job as a developer, as that's...
