Further, they could just spread the cost into the 2-year plan. I'll actually be a bit surprised if this doesn't happen.

In regards to finding the narco radio stations, wouldn't it be trivial to triangulate their location and destroy them?

Isn't there a conflict between points 1 and 5? Claiming to be an independent student while living at home?

I don't know the specifics, but if I were to implement this I would start by constructing a signal map of an area, then comparing the signature of changes to potential routes.

By having a sufficiently accurate map, you could determine the likelihood of a route by the changes in signal. Even without pre-mapping there are some estimations that could be made: a signal that follows a clean sinusoidal curve with a certain rate of change could likely be modeled by rural highway driving.

I can't speak to cockatiels, but the house should be okay ar 40-45degrees, where people would be uncomfortable.

Further, when the power goes out you limit your consumption. With a connected home, running on battery power could widen the acceptable temperature range, run only one bulb in a multi-bulb array, or even disconnect certain outlets in a home.

Even cutting to 80%, you get an extra hour. 50%, and you've got 4. I am having a hard time finding refrigerator specifics, but around 1000KWh annually seems to be on the high side. This gives you 1.5 days on the 4.25KWh battery.

People die in a lot of other ways too. This is favoring the death I cause over the death a machine does.

I believe that the niche of the lone game developer is in the bleeding edge. The two examples given show this: a mode of computing was created, individuals made games, then were pushed out. The individual proves the viability for the larger groups who do not want to commit the time or treasure to a venture that will not survive.

In my experience of building new things, rather than modifying existing ones, "Changes" would make less sense, as there is little or nothing to change.

The former in Michigan, where I was raised. $0.10/bottle, and seen as property (socially).

I would be interested in a combined content and comments link. I am often more interested in the HN commentary than the article itself, so I am always opening the comments as well. This would mirror a feature in the Reddit Enhancement Suite that I enjoy.

My guess would be that they can switch the name of either if needed in the future (to rebrand or whatnot). This isn't that dissimilar from the iPhone's Siri, or Window's Cortana.

I'm quite confused on the accuracy of this article because of GRR. The article was written in 1994, but according to the GRR history page (http://www.grr.org/History.php#5), the airport did not change its name until 1999. I believe the GRR is for GRand Rapids, and question if this was actually written as is in 1994.

Edit: I see that the article is updated online. Still think that GRR is for Grand Rapids though.

Edit2: Source Found! A NTSB report froma crash in December of 1998 cites a weather reading from " Kent County International Airport (GRR)" (Source: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief2.aspx?ev_id=20001211...). I move that this shows that the airport code was GRR prior to being re-named Gerald R. Ford, and that GRR stands for Grand Rapids.

Edit3: Further a US DoT doc from April 1998, lists Kent County International as GRR in Appendix D: http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/sr/sr255/apndx.pdf

We've got electric motor ones in the new office I moved to recently. It is quite nice to switch back and forth throughout the day. 2 or 3 days per week, I will move to standing 2-3 times for 30-45 minutes. The other days I'm seated the whole day, but those seem to be the days that I'm moving to and from meetings.

Generally, I would say that 75% of people stay sitting most of the time, 15% will stand for about an hour per week, and the last 10% (including myself), stand fairly regularly.

I particularly like to raise it when I have others visiting my desk, it is nice to have everyone on the same level (literally, then hopefully figuratively).

I can seem to reply to derefr, but to echo his comment, this will be a safety measure in the same way that Apple's TouchID is a security measure.

We know that a fingerprint is a bad password.It can't be changed, you leave copies everywhere, authentication is based on an approximation, etc. Strong, frequently changed passwords would be much better. But is it significantly better than the security on most people's phones: a 4 digit passcode, or none at all.

I have Lync at work and have accidentally sent some kisses when talking about retirement... 401(k)

Thanks! This took the download from 8hrs to 3 min.

Signed up - this is really neat! If I was running linkedIn premium, I'd be looking to write you a check.

As an intermediary feature, perhaps a show/hide toggle on each bit of content would allow you to customize the resume without removing the information from Creddle. Then after exporting the resume, you could modify what content is hidden for the next employer.

That's a very interesting read, and I'll have to give some thought to the implications therein.

I was originally thinking of something more along the lines of Radiohead's In Rainbows, released online for a donation, but may combined with a kickstarter-like fundraising effort to pay the upfront costs.

I believe that this applies to many products using digital distribution that meet the following:

1. The asset takes requires a significant amount of resources.

2. The asset will require all resources in order to distribute.

3. No further resources are required after distribution.

Music, books, art, and even software that does not require updates would fall into this category.

Can you explain this one? I'm trying to picture why one would have a tray of salt under the shelf, why it would have water in it, and how to drain the water without draining the (assumed to be dissolved) salt.

Crashes on Chrome on my iPhone 4S, works on Safari on 5C.

Sounds like Tiks is on the team that made it, commenting throughout.

Very good point.

That is an important possibility not represented in the story. Do you have personal experience or a source to complement the theory?

I'm just over 1 year as a developer in a large enterprise shop.

I've had some hiccups moving me a bit away from where I want to be ("needs of the business"), and really make me feel like I'm the only one looking out for my development. Things have been slow at work lately, so maybe I've been thinking about it more than usual.

-How often do you think about your career development? Probably daily - making sure I'm learning the right things, meeting the right people, reading the right HN articles.

- How much time do you spend thinking about your career? Too much- I'd like to just auto-pilot for a while, but I feel like I'll end up on the path that makes everyone else look good, rather than fulfilling my goals.

- How do you plan what you want to develop for yourself? Is it based on trends or a specific goal? A specific goal- I would like to move into our information security area, specifically online threats/fraud.

- How do you keep track of all the skills and experiences you've gained through your career? I don't have that many to keep track of, so the resume holds a good chunk at the moment. I should work on tracking the things that I do more.

- How do you get feedback on your skills and strengths? What do you do with the feedback? This is probably one of the tougher things for me. Trying to change fields, my management and peers can't give qualified feedback for a different area.

- Who do you talk with the most about your career development? This is the most I've articulated it in a while, my fiance is a good sounding board from time to time.

I think that it might hold, at least for me. The biggest obstacles to my use of public transportation is the first mile and last mile, and the regularity of trips.

Using Google Maps as my source, a trip home will take between 1hr, 3min to 1hr, 30min, and still includes driving for the last mile. Granted, this is San Antonio, which is certainly a driving city. The same drive home is 14-17 minutes, depending on route.

In my calculus, drive vs. public trans. is a balance of which sucks least. Right now, I would say that the cost and altruism aspect of public trans. would allow it 200% of the suckiness allotted to driving. All else being equal, I would need a public trans. trip of ~30minutes or less.

Now I see your edit. I was disdainful of the BA... I can't think of the specifics, but I thought I had seen programs with both BA and BS options in the past. I didn't know about the lack of distinction between the BA and BS. TIL!
