I really liked the chocolate sea salt ones. The rest are kinda meh.

Yeah, I never have been big on podcasts but ever since they added it to Spotify I've actually discovered a bunch of great stuff. Makes those long drives when you can't agree on mus…

Not sure, it's an iPhone 6s. Sure a lot of the places were a little bit out there (Eastern Washington, Badlands, Southern Utah, Yellowstone) but my friend was nearly at full servic…

I'm normally happy with T-Mobile in the cities, but after a cross-country road trip I'm pretty disappointed with their service in the Great Plains and PNW. My traveling companion c…

A lot of Chicago's population loss is on the South Side where violence is high. Also the elimination of the projects has moved a lot of Section 8 housing to the suburbs, as it give…

Why would you think that this has anything to do with IBM's consulting arm and not the fact that IBM maintains their own JVM and employ a ton of JVM experts to develop and maintain…

Ginni started at IBM as an engineer so I'm pretty sure she has some level of technical competence.

I don't see the trolling? How is Star Citizen the most successful crowdfunded game? It's still not released.

I had Webpass fiber in Chicago for over a year. It was nice 1Gbps symmetric too. Back on Comcast now though :(

It seems like a hit piece from Bloomberg - someone must want AmEx's stock to drop this week.

Higher fees. FWIW I live in Chicago and rarely find a place that doesn't accept AmEx.

It can be. If internet history is subpoenaed during the discovery process of a patent case it could be used against you. I also am slightly annoyed that it was a direct link to a p…

I wonder how many other PL members are on HN. Hello from Snigg.

I've had great luck with the Asus Zenbook Prime series.

> Everyone has proper attire. I think that's probably a big component of the policy, I regularly see kids on the train or out walking to school without proper attire to be outside …

In some places in the world, including where the author is from, it was dangerously cold this week. Here in Chicago the temperature was around -5F (-20C) all week, which is dangero…

I prefer the Russian smiley ))

There are lots of lawyers in Chicago that would take your case.

Luckily, I have a nice enough computer to alt-tab and play some Dota 2.

That's not exactly true. As a titan pilot, there is more to do than just clicking broadcasts / sorting your overview / aligning. That's the kind of stuff that happens when everythi…

Leaving out a lot of the North side there. I was going to sign up and give it a shot (currently use Peapod) but they don't deliver to me.

Older elevators operate in a similar way - all logic handled by racks of relays. It's really interesting stuff.
