In theory, some of them have gyroscope things that can send a signal if they are not upright.

Barrier of entry. Folks like me that haven't ridden a bike since they were a kid are scared as hell of riding around traffic. Scooters are much more approachable.

That's because the city has no solutions. So far they've only tried telling the universities to build more dorms and give up some of the housing they have. I mean, there's plenty o…

Boston does not require a car. Got rid of my car 10 years ago. Only problem is that rent is more expensive near the subway. But we have buses and many many international workers an…

Get out of their job for $5k? I agree I may be used to an area with a higher cost of living, but folks don't win $5k on Wheel of Fortune and think "now I can finally pursue my drea…

Yeah that was also back when Southwest wasn't at Logan but wanted to advertise that they had the lowest fairs "in the Boston area".

I've had a PSVR since release. I don't use it all the time. It takes extra effort and energy to set up and 'get into' a VR game that sometimes I just don't want to expend. And it's…

And don't forget the chicken-egg problem. People see it as a fad because the majority of games are smaller 'tech-demo' types, but of course very few companies will invest much mone…

That was my thought too... why not just watch a foreign film? Those even take place in the country you want to learn about.

This really comes down to what you expect from the product and what your use case is. I don't want something to select music for me. I listen to whole albums. I want to be able to …

Break news! Team uses filtering feature of Play Store to avoid installing app on devices where it doesn't work!

Alternativev (joke) takeaway: Javascript is as important to computers as machine code

I've never worked for a company that said "we are going to use technology that takes twice as long to implement new features." Even when I worked in a boring industry like advertis…

Whoa! Whoa! Are you suggesting that the end experience with a programming framework might depend on the details of your specific project and should not be inferred from general blo…

Ohhhhh, now I understand why that one ex-coworker that 'follow' stars about 20 projects a week. I always used them as bookmarks and I couldn't believe that they ever were going to …

This American Life did an entire episode about correcting one of their earlier episodes when they found out that the individual had made up many of the details. Honestly, the retra…

That font alone takes me back!

I try my hardest not to do any 'grading' based on someone's github, but instead use it as a reference of what I can expect when the candidate gets to the interview. There's always …

Yes yes yes. It never made sense to me that our ticket sizing was supposed to be an estimate and yet the planning that used those estimates was considered a commitment. Totally ins…

The most important thing is to communicate how you were able to add value to the company. Translate your role into the services and value it added. Think about any big projects or …

You also have the release of the PSVR, which is outselling both of them at ~$400.

I can vouch that here in the US, there are companies that track where a bike is locked/unlocked. This data is mapped and fed to a rebalancing team which can wrangle strays. In addi…

I'd like to see a quoted source showing that the reason NPR pushed back the publication was because he was too reasonable. I read that on the web this morning, but only found Milo …
