I've had a treadmill desk for several years now and haven't noticed any issues with this. It's fine to walk when you're just reading or doing light tasks. I do need to sit when doi…

> #Fact: Flappy Bird’s success was because of its user reviews, reaching 700,000 reviews per month Uh, seriously? Seems like they might have cause and effect reversed there. But at…

You can, but most of those poor quality treadmills are meant for light use (i.e. running at high RPM for 30-60 mins per day, 3-5 days a week). If you try to run the same treadmill …

I don't think these are contradictory at all. If you're largely sedentary, getting an hour of exercise per day doesn't counteract the fact that you've been sitting for 12 hours per…

This is not true anymore. As of August 12, 2014, visa runners will not be allowed back into the country.

Mercedes has been dominant the past two races as well so it's not necessarily a spoiler to say they have been owning the season. On the other hand today's race ended a few hours ag…

Aw, a spoiler warning would have been appreciated there.

I switched to a treadmill desk setup in my home office about a year ago and have been pretty happy with it. http://imgur.com/a/zbm35 The desk itself is electric height-adjustable w…

Perhaps the source is the article itself (i.e. he was contacted by the author)?

I had a bunch of Amtrak points sitting around that I recently redeemed for a bedroom sleeper trip between Seattle and Chicago. It was an interesting experience but not one that I w…

Not really. I think the overhead comes more from having to create the views programmatically in the first place. But once everything is up and running, the maintainability is not v…

We recently converted our project from IB to doing everything programmatically and could not be happier with the result. As the app has evolved over time and grown in complexity, w…

[blue][red], you want to make sure you round their shared edge either to the left or to the right. Otherwise, there will be a gap between them. You need to make sure you round thei…

Luck is also a huge factor. Sometimes it's just one of those 'right place, right time' moments that can't really be replicated again.

They are technically called distributions, not dividends, for the reasons you mentioned.

These are very interesting numbers. Obviously the financials are not well suited to the VC-backed startup model, but I wonder if Everpix could have been successful as a small busin…

I'm a huge fan of the Prana Brion ( http://www.prana.com/brion-pant.html ) - very similar to the one you linked, except without the cargo pockets. After getting these I'm never goi…

It doesn't make any sense to add up the highest marginal tax rates like that though. In your example of someone earning $90k in CA, the federal income tax rate of 28% only applies …

On top of this, if you are making any significant amount of money as a self-employed individual you should probably look into setting up a solo-401k or a SEP-IRA, which will help r…

These numbers are heavily skewed by the fact that the Top 200 on both iOS and Android are dominated by IAP based games. E.g. Candy Crush Saga and Clash of Clans are not significant…

> Get a $200 iphone5 from AT&T, next day unlock it without paying ETF and get a cheap prepaid T-Mobile sim and never use the AT&T sim again; thus not paying AT&T's voice/data fees(…

I think you need to differentiate between unlocking the phone and breaking the service contract . Just because you want the former doesn't necessarily mean you want the latter. For…

It's actually interesting to me to look at those slides and see just how far Android has come along in the past few years. There are some really awful mistakes in those slides, lik…

Yeah, it's not like they went screen by screen through the iPhone and said 'hey, we need to do what they're doing...' http://www.scribd.com/doc/102317767/Samsung-Relative-Evaluat..…

Amazon does grocery delivery in Seattle and parts of Los Angeles via AmazonFresh, and it is pretty awesome.
