Right, because for it to be true that fear of losing health insurance is a barrier to starting one's own business, it must be true that it's the only factor at play here.

Fun exception to Betteridge's law of headlines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

yeah, but then it starts loudly reading to you....and then at the end of the ride when you want to pay with your credit card the whole interface is weird. Better to just get really good at hitting the off button as soon as it allows you to.

I'd say a much more important purpose of a cutting board is to protect the edge of your knife. If you hit the edge of your knife on something really hard, it'll chip, or fold--basically just ruin it. This might not be such a big deal for home cooks with super dull knives (after all, glass cutting boards still exist for some reason!) but for a professional I'd think a cutting board that destroys your knives would be worse than useless.

That does seem like an advantage, but the downside is that people who don't have access to fancy diagnostic equipment potentially just die of things that could be cured with some antibiotics....

And yet, no real change to the status quo of slow deterioration seems to be happening. The louder and more powerfully we can make this (I agree obvious) case, the better!

It was really terrible in the 70s when the city went bankrupt. Then it got better, and now it's getting worse again.

The NYC subway system is orders of magnitude better than anything else in this country, absolutely. This also means that pretty much everyone relies on it to get around every day---so we have to hold it to a much higher standard. If the subway were as bad as it is in SF, the whole city would more or less stop functioning entirely.

Why don't women go to the police more often when they're raped? Sure is a mystery.

Which is a good thing, if you're interested in not getting parasites!

That's true for commercial waste, not residential. http://www1.nyc.gov/site/dsny/index.page http://teamsters.nyc/locals/local-831/

That's a nice idea, but at least every us bank I've seen does this, so...

Just as dangerous as terrorists? According to this https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm655051e1.htm, in 2014 alone, there were 28,647 deaths from opioids in the US.

In the last /decade/, it depends on how you do the math, but it was less than 100 people. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/oct/...

edit: I see I was beaten to the punch here.

I don't think people denigrating allied bombing campaigns are really concerned with their military effectiveness, but rather the millions upon millions of civilians we (Allies) killed.

Ever use ranger?

Of course, not exactly comparable, but it's pretty amazing.

Really, it doesn't make sense to you that enter would correspond to the most common, least destructive action?

Alt-F4 makes little sense, true, but in almost all windows apps control-q or control-w does exactly the same thing as on osx.

Also, having sane defaults for keys people are likely to press is much more important than /not/ having obscure keyboard shortcuts that users never have to know even exist.

I imagine because what they actually mean (state) gets ambiguous and confusing because of the united states, which are not really states in the same sense.

yes, you can definitely do that. I'm using the chrome version (vimium) but have back mapped to capital h (for history)

Open source doesn't mean free....

Important context for Denmark not having a minimum wage is the fact that more or less everyone (including managers) is in a union, and if you are fired you'll get paid unemployment that is not too far from your actual wages.

On TV maybe. In real life investigative police work is gathering enough evidence on a suspect that a prosecutor will take the case.

Lenovo has been exactly the same for me, with their onsite + accidental damage protection. For the same price as applecare, I've more than once broken my laptop screen from a drop, and someone is at my house the next day with a new screen.

Glassblowers who make high end pieces for people to smoke marijuana out of work pretty exclusively in quartz and borosilicate, and will certainly have experience with lathes. See for instance http://waterworksglass.com/?cat=13 https://mothershipglass.com/collections/

That said, they would clearly have to do a lot of learning and training for the more specific scientific applications, and since many artists get thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars per piece, I'm sure you'd have a hard time luring them away. On top of that, they probably couldn't be stoned all day and would go from making art to making whatever functional objects are needed.

Sure, taste is subjective, but that doesn't mean certain cooking techniques are better than others.

Cold brew oxidizes, and doesn't extract many of the flavor compounds from coffee. That's why it always tastes kind of stale and flat. Now, you might like that, but I'm sure you can see why many people would say that it's a worse way to make iced coffee.

Similarly with roasting beans---lighter roasts preserve more of the flavor of the beans. So, if you have really high quality beans, dark roasts are just a waste. That's not to say that dark roast coffee can't be delicious, but it's less complex.

Similarly, sangria is delicious, but you probably shouldn't mix your 1982 chateau lafite with orange juice.

If you're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on what is essentially a marketing campaign, it would be rather shocking not to have a logo.

Right, I don't disagree with you, but....that's not going to happen. It's literally politically impossible right now. So incremental steps are great.

Really? I would have no problem bringing a wrapped gift from a friend or colleague, the contents of which I do not know on a plane. And lying about packing my bags myself.

In fact, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that...it's a constant and (imo) fair assumption of mine that my friends are not trying to kill me.

Wow this is amazing.

Our business plan is that vcs will just give us money. Because this is San Francisco, and we have an idea.
