Either way, iMessage comes by default, and every iPhone is guaranteed to have it. Using iMessage instead of say, Whatsapp means I don't have to download yet another app and sign up for yet another service and search for yet another user(not to mention possibly giving away personal information to Facebook) when I can already use what's already on my phone.

I've been considering PRK for quite some time, but am a little iffy on it due to the recovery time. I see some people saying it takes 3 weeks, others saying 7 weeks for a full recovery. Like many others here, I'm a developer so I have to look at a screen for a significant portion of the day for work. Do these recovery times mean no working at all, or just that it may be strained? I don't really get enough vacation time to be off work for that long :/

Pros:

-Lots of fun, at least for a little while

Cons:

-Perhaps increased possibility of not making it across

-Would have to quit your job(maybe file this one under 'pro' instead?)

> Yes, it shouldn't come to that.

This bears repeating.

Sure, but the unfinished product can severely impact your life regardless of how it's going.

Wouldn't terraforming take much, much longer than that? Assuming it were possible(which doesn't seem possible due to lack of a magnetic field, as another commenter pointed out)

That's assuming you work in a place with upward mobility or the ability to advance. At my last job, I worked in a place being a new hire meant you were pretty much on the same level as a senior engineer who had been there 10, 15+ years(not including the clout and reputation, though). The only way up from there was to become a manager, which meant waiting for someone who had been there 20 or even 30 years would have to quit or retire.

I've sworn off Hertz after following the whole debacle as it was unfolding.

Why not just say "Your privacy is taken seriously" to remove the ambiguity?

Personal regrets:

* Fighting with my parents when I was younger by refusing to learn to speak Polish(felt like it was too much homework and for little gain)

* Not recognizing earlier that my mother wasn't going to live past 42 with stage III / IV colon cancer(granted, I was 16 / 17 and I was kept in the dark)

Career regrets:

* Not trying harder in school. I feel like I should be doing a lot better in life than I am.

Not regrets / silver linings:

* Because of the above though, I learned to appreciate how little time we really have in life, and to really appreciate and love those whom we have in our lives, along with appreciating the value of learning, too.

It's quite possible that the door on that opportunity may have closed, sadly.

> The user reported them to hi-po not because they were 'hacking', but because they intentionally created a dangerous situation on a highway by stalling a car, which could have gotten multiple people killed.

Not due to hacking, but a few weeks ago I had been involved in an accident because a Mercedes SUV randomly shut down in the middle of the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, and I had to stop in a line of cars behind said SUV while the driver behind me didn't stop in time. Luckily no one was killed(one injury, not me, but my car got totaled) but had there been any involvement in their part on something like that, I would've lawyered up and sued Wired.

Is that per hour? I think I'd kill for that.. or was that per day? I'm based in the states so that seems quite nice for me.

While it's not wrong for a manager to try to make his/her employees happy, I think the parent covered it when he/she mentioned the Orwellian aspect of it. My other fear would be my employer deciding to see me out the door much more quickly if they found out that I was looking for another job.

They look ok in my opinion, but as soon as I take like 5 steps when I go running, I may as well kiss them and $160 goodbye as the damn thing(s) will just fall right out of my ears.

Often enough, actually, when I'm driving. My car has a stereo-USB connection that works very well most of the time, allowing me to charge my phone and cycle through my music collection. Its charging speed is slow though, going only at maybe what, 500mA, 1A if I'm lucky? It takes even longer if I'm using Google Maps. To counteract this problem, I've recently started using a power converter, that I normally have for charging my laptop, to charge my phone because it offers a 2.1A USB port that works a LOT better for me.

Why does this matter? Because I can still have my phone's audio going to the car by way of an AUX cable.

From MacRumors live stream:

11:59 am For those joining in late, there have been no announcements about the MacBook Pro or other Macs as expected.

$160 for the AirPods? My goodness those are expensive.

Surely, of all the truck drivers in the nation, a small subset of them would be armed?

> Yet avoidance reinforces PTSD. Conversely, systematic exposure to triggers and the memories they provoke is the most effective means of overcoming the disorder" while citing several academic studies conducted on PTSD sufferers.

Right, but I'd assume this is probably done in small increments or doses? A person who's finding themselves exposed to said triggers may not be able to control how much of it they get in certain situations, which could arguably leave them off worse after the event.

Ok - must be our stupid web filters at work. Thanks!

Is it just me, or are the links at [0] broken? That is, when you try to click through some of the examples such as "Use F# to explore the .NET framework interactively"?

> because that's the culture they are used to, and it gives off the wrong vibe. What it shows, to the other side, is that your priorities are in those places... that you see those things as important... and its a turn-off to places that are more fluid and open.

While I agree that the way someone dresses has no correlation with their developer output, personally I wouldn't give someone any shit about dressing too nicely for an interview that happens to be at a startup, especially since they're probably used to "playing it safe" when it comes to interviews. I'd probably just make it a point to point out typical dress code when the interview process is coming to a close, if the interviewee hasn't figured it out by then.

> You can't really expect "bring your cat to work day"

Suddenly I want to find a place where I can actually bring my cat to work..

This is news to me as well..

Agreed, till it didn't :(

Resident of NJ here, it's been like this as long as I'm alive(34 years). Now, how much it's enforced, on the other hand...

And also the fact that your organs are still operating in sleep as opposed to not in death.

Really? I thought it was "lay-tack".

I would suppose that the difference would having these < 500nm wavelength light sources pretty much right up in our faces.
