Yes-- it's about 65% English, 28% Spanish.

While I'm not typical, I think there are a good number in a similar position: I've got a house with a roof approaching it's end of life. I use 4MWh/month. My electricity bill goes …

28L was dark apart from the X, and the taxiway was lit (albeit with taxi Lane instead of runway lights). Expecting two lit lanes and approaching the one on the right, they certainl…

It's just the same data in 3 different forms, right? And the second is pretty misleading, comparing percentages as if they were some part of a whole.

If you're looking to add a checksum, why not use an existing format that does things like variable precision and proximity well like geohash ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash …

We just made the switch and I'm in agreement-- too noisy to be a serious tool. But there is an all/here distinction-- just named everyone/channel.

I think the reason this attitude exists is because the barrier of entry for engineering is higher and more concrete than it is for marketing, or sales, or product. Most people can …

Ideally, A's credit is discounted and B can only relieve $7 of their debt to you with the $10 A-note (or whatever you value A's debt at). They can choose to take it, or try to coll…

It's an interesting question of how much resources law enforcement should assign to a case like this. Many fierce proponents of Bitcoins are the anarchy-leaning libertarians. Its a…

why not salt and store the salt with the hash?

Or it was the case, it was the perfectly right thing to do, and he just got unlucky.

If you're renting your first couple places, absolutely not. But at some point you hit a mark where you have a property manager doing all the day-to-day and a few leasing agents fil…

You expect me to go to private industry to find someone to monitor my life? Do you have any idea how much that would cost? Some things just make sense to do at national scale, even…

I bet you a significant portion of the traffic is now coming over the mobile phone. If 40% of the students preferred that site, I'd bet its enough of an improvement to warrant some…

A DBA I worked with had a good one-- just asked a question that was the textbook problem a left join solved.

Looks cool. But with just a company name and a job title you're going to connect me to a student? Seems like you'll get a lot of near misses. Seems like you might be better off get…

It seems a bit odd that they're quoting their Junior class makeup-- makes me think that's the best data point they have, and it exaggerates their success. My understanding is that …

All good points, but #2 stuck out the biggest for me. It's not just the wording, but the fact that the only reason I'd be interested in dating someone is because they're physically…
