And now they ship it down south to states who are happy to take it.

Beats me. Maybe they are too big to notice? Or don't care? I've done this more than once (and I don't take many Ubers). I end up paying less and the driver makes more money, so eve…

I've done this. The driver cancels your ride and you pay cash.

I've nothing against women in the workplace, but I do think it sucks that in most families both parents are forced to work in order to make ends meet. Universal childcare is the wo…

For the same reason that in the winter the weather people tell you the temperature, but then are sure to include the windchill factor (which makes it sound worse). In the summer th…

Oddly, NYC is archipelago city, and the only way from Long Island/Brooklyn/Queens to New Jersey is via Manhattan, hence the congestion. I guess one could take the huge detour via S…

You can write python code on an iphone with Pythonista.

Maybe he means the person who makes the automobile can afford to buy an automobile?

If it's your life, it might be worth it.

But then we end up with the OOM Killer, which is awful - randomly kill the biggest process because "reasons".... It would be better if the OS could say no.

I never heard of the Boots Theory before now, but I don't think it applies to the MTA. They buy the top of the line. And will build their own parts if it doesn't exist. It's not un…

A lot of the MTA's budget is spent on interest on their debt (about $4 Billion / year). Page 23 of your report shows they currently have about $45 Billion in outstanding bonds. A c…

lsblk is super helpful and I've used it many, many times since I found it about 5 years ago. inxi is a new one for me. Command usage / knowledge depends on what you need and why.

Agreed, I've also been burned doing stupid things like this and always print out the commands and check them before actually doing the commit. As they say, measure twice, cut once.…

It's not popular vs unpopular, it's politics. Climate science is super politicized in this country. Google is a progressive entity who claims to offer a balanced view but instead w…

Pick up dust, that's an interesting comment. How does stock paper help with that?

I do the same with Dropbox. I've been doing this for years and it's saved me a number of times. I don't know if there are flaws with this but it's worked better than anything I've …

I thought the same about Free/True NAS until I lost a ton of stuff. Be careful with these. Also, for big backups the performance has been terrible. I carefully followed their guide…

I find the Apple watch to be super annoying. Out of the box it reminds you to breath, stand up, go to sleep, etc. Like I was never able to do these things before by myself. Once I …

Morgan Stanley pays their bonuses at the end of the year. Very few will quit in August. Only the ones who were on their way out anyway. Most will work hard to find jobs between now…

Agreed, it's interesting that there are this many databases exposed directly to the internet. Hasn't anyone heard of defense in depth and proxy servers?

Yes, this a big part of how Colleges and Universities are funded. Alumni tend to contribute either to leave a legacy behind or to help the College maintain it's reputation, which i…

Take it as a life lesson. Lots of places are not as rosy on the inside as they appear from the outside. If the place is a mess that might mean there's an opportunity for you to shi…
