Very timely article, as I'm currently sitting in the doctors office waiting room to be seen for a sprained ankle. > The resulting vasoconstriction from cooling, not only reduces ti…

The difference is that a traditional RWD car has a heavy engine in the front, but is being pushed from the back where none of the weight is. So lack of traction and fish tailing is…

I mean no offence, but I think a few of these opinions are probably because of your skill level on both a snowboard and skis. > It works far more of your core muscles and your quad…

Not a fan of riding with headphones for one main reason. You won't hear other people yelling for help. This is especially important when you ski off piste at west coast resorts. I …

> I find most people are naive of the problem especially in the west coast states, unless they spend a lot of time outdoors either recreationally, or landscaping, gardening, ranchi…

I wonder why you can't sell it here. They even recommend it on the government's travel site: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/health-safety/insect-bite

Not legal to sell, but legal to possess. I go across the border and stock up at REI in Bellingham. No problems bringing it back across. Apparently this is quite common for lower ma…

Maybe, but it can easily be interpreted as mean spirited, and added nothing at all to the discussion. A Microsoft MVP probably shouldn't be throwing shade at another company's mark…

> Genius (and I'll be using that term sarcastically from here on in) Slightly off topic, but it really bugs me when people ridicule these workers who are just doing what they've be…

Nobody pays a marginal rate > 50% in Canada. However, this will be counted as a capital gain, since Match almost certainly bought his shares in the company. That means 50% of the p…

> Founders are committed and in for the long haul, and either make a lot of money or none. This used to be true, but I don't believe it is any longer. It's become fairly common for…

I think you're misinterpreting my original post. It's not a shot at the Pebble, or any other device. It's an argument that the Apple Watch is not a toy, and is actually quite usefu…

I can, but it would probably be more efficient for you to just go look at the website.

You've mentioned four things that are part of the messaging app, and phone calls. If you aren't aware of the other things Apple Watch does that Pebble doesn't, you should probably …

> This is one of those features that has to be 100% perfect for it to work in this form factor As an Apple Watch owner, I can state that this is not the case for me, and thus it cl…

> The bid difference that I think people are trying to state is that no one really uses any of those other features. Not really. I'm curious which features you are referring to? I …

> 5-7 day battery life and always-on, e-paper-like color screen. This enables you to use Pebble as an actual watch I'm not sure why the "always-on" aspect is an advantage. The Appl…

What does Pebble do that Apple Watch or Android Wear doesn't? I know many more "geeks" with Apple Watch or Android Wear than Pebble.

Point #2 is technically correct, but I think it's perfectly legitimate to block people from recruiting your employees at your place of business, while they are working. Lyft isn't …

I think you've already made up your mind about PG, and there's nothing I can say that will change that. So I just won't say anything.

I think you misinterpreted that. PG said funding decisions aren't made based on similarity to the people making the funding decision. John Doerr is saying that sometimes one of fac…

It was definitely a dig, but I don't think he was seriously implying the US isn't a first world country. I think the frustration stems from the fact that the US is the most obvious…

I think you're underestimating how entrenched the CC companies are in our society. I agree that they'll eventually be replaced, but I doubt it will be in the next year, let alone t…

I don't think this means what the title might imply. Photo Stream will still only store photos for 30 days, so it still doesn't replace Everpix or Loom.
