This sounds similar to Milo.

They were acquired by eBay, but it seems the service no longer exists. http://www.ebay.com/local/

I'm using this now. Looks like they will be releasing an official vendoring mechanism for 1.6. https://blog.golang.org/6years

What's the definition of a document? Is there a page limit?

Yes. I take my watch off at home so charging it isn't a big deal. Do most people wear their watch while they sleep?

Re:Sydney tunnel water screen stop sign for oversized vehicles [video]

The video that jere linked to is from North Carolina which happens to be where I live. The drivers test here is offered in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. They also offer it orally, specifically for people who have trouble reading. There's a sign test, but they just show you the shape and color of a sign without text. For example, you have to identify that a red octagon is a stop sign and a yellow pentagon indicates a school zone. At no point is your ability to read english tested so it's perfectly plausible that someone could obtain an NC drivers license and not understand a yellow flashing sign with text on it.

If you can't read or don't speak english, a sign with text and flashing yellow lights may not be that obvious.
Re:Ask HN: Why should Facebook do an IPO?

Eventually employees will want to cash out. Facebook has been giving out RSUs for several years now and there's no easy way to liquidate RSUs without an IPO.
Re:Tell HN: Company returned 3X, but I (investor) may lose money

In my comment I did not state whether I agree or disagree with the current US tax laws and that was not the point. I was responding to the post above mine which I think made some incorrect assumptions concerning beagle3's income level and ability to afford professional accountants.

I'm not a tax expert so this assumption may be wrong, but if the 2X is being taxed as ordinary income at 35% wouldn't that imply that beagle3 is making at least $379,150 + 2X this year? I would consider someone with that kind of income to be rich.
Also, if the stock has gone down 40% can't you claim that as a loss when you sell and lessen your overall tax burden?
