I've not used Blue Apron, but I recently cancelled Hello Fresh for these exact same reasons. Interesting business model, but I think Blue/Fresh will be out of business within the n…

I'm a Coloradan and this doesn't jive with my experience. I wasn't surprised it passed. We believe in personal freedoms here, and there is perhaps no greater personal freedom than …

It's not the least bit surprising that a company like Rolex would not sell parts directly to customers. I imagine that 99% of the time that would end disastrously, and they would h…

Which is like saying that chainsaws suck because they don't stop you from cutting off your own leg.

Microcenter has the B+ for $25, but they are in-store only.

"I wish I had five of me..." So that the train wreck would have been 5x as bad?

Late April fools joke?

You're not alone. The effect is nauseating.

Please join me in straightening a Slinky in honor of a truly great actor and director.

SO is a mess right now. It is sort of amusing that the questions and discussions I find the most interesting are always closed as "off topic" or unproductive or whatever their lang…

Ghost: the super simple minimal blogging platform that requires considerable server experience to setup. Plus you get to write everything in Markdown! What's not to love?

That's pretty much the same experience I've had with my Z, though the random shutdowns mysteriously stopped about a year ago. My Z is now 4 years old, yet still is incredibly fast …

This is a solution looking for a problem. Same with Ghost, though. At least Ghost is ironic: a super simple blogging platform that requires fairly sophisticated skills to setup and…

Why doesn't Twitter simply quarantine the handle until some sort of dispute resolution is completed? Oh wait, Twitter doesn't "do" customer service, so forget about any sort of com…

No, he changes his country of origin to C then books a round trip from A to B. It is sometimes cheaper that way.

Zero info on homepage = not interested.

It won't be long until the Feds have technology that grabs metadata from the tech in your car as you cruise down the road. I suspect their definition of "metadata" will be broad en…

Wow...it is expensive to be trendy. My VPS with 2GB of RAM and 50GB of storage is $40 a year, and I can do whatever the heck I want with it.

Not hard at all. PHP is incredibly easy. Wordpress is very well documented, and the enormous community support (plugins) means that you can do quite a lot without having to get you…

There's nothing quite like seeing "10K+" results loaded into a single, infinite page.

I bet that if you had asked AT&T and the like - before they got caught - if they gave the NSA warrant-less access to U.S. citizens' communications, they would have also said "no."

Why should PHP "force" anything? That's one of PHP's strengths: the ability to be everything from a simple dynamic webpage to a full blown app. That's like saying "I wish someone w…

Anything meaningful I do on my mobile devices - photos, files, etc. - gets backed up to Dropbox. It's 100% automatic, and has been a real life saver. I also use it as basically a v…

At $0 subsidized you would be getting ripped off. You'd be better off buying a subsidized iPhone, selling it, then buying the G at full price (plus pocketing a bunch of $$ at the s…

Their focus wasn't on the product, it was on living/working in SF. They could have saved a year's worth of AWS payments alone by trimming the fat that comes with wanting to be in a…
