marcinx27··on Harley Davidson’s EV debut could electrify the motorcycle industry
To sort of piggy back off of your point, I think Harley is headed for the rocks and it all comes down to number 1. Harley has such a concrete demographic and it's been exhausted. The problem is, by catering so hard to that demographic they are not able to get new riders.

To make matters worse, things like electric motorcycles, discontinuing the Dyna / FXR line, and changing from an air cooled engine to a liquid cooled engine is also annoying their diehard demographic.

The only demographic which seems to be growing (though, I'm extremely biased on this) is younger kids who are getting into customizing motorcycles. Not "Orange County Chopper" bikes, but buying old Harleys (or Triumphs or BSAs or Hondas for that matter) and making them into cool choppers or cafe racers or whatever. The problem is, this demographic doesn't give Harley any money. They don't want the Harley branded everything. They want old bikes that they can get cheap aftermarket or NOS parts for and they want to ride those.

marcinx27··on Spotify’s Discover Weekly: How machine learning finds new music
He also did a really in depth blog post about how it works. I haven't gotten around to reading the full post yet, but from the little that I've read he goes into a deep dive about how it works. https://medium.com/@hate5six/sage-an-artificially-intelligen...
marcinx27··on Chinese plan for “traffic-straddling bus” ended after 32 people were arrested
The name's Lanley -- Lyle Lanley. And I come before you good people tonight with an idea. Probably the greatest ... Aww, it's not for you. It's more of a Shelbyville idea.

marcinx27··on 14-Year-Old Boy Arrested for Bringing Homemade Clock to School
Nah, it's a high school. And the reaction really wasn't warranted. He did show it to his engineering teacher before he got nabbed, too. According to the Times,

"When Ahmed Mohamed, 14, brought the clock to MacArthur High School in Irving, Tex., on Monday, an engineering teacher suggested that he not show the invention to other teachers. But it beeped during an English class, prompting Ahmed to show his English teacher what it was, according to an account in The Dallas Morning News."

marcinx27··on Yankees Suck: The punks who made the most popular T-shirts in Boston
The reason I got my start in this field is because I went with a professor of mine to check out a startup that one of his students was the CTO of. When I got there, the former student complimented my Gorilla Biscuits shirt and offered me an internship.
marcinx27··on What Are the Most Disappointing Albums?
They have the consistently great part up to (and possibly including) the black album. Then they start to fall into the disappointing category.

marcinx27··on Want a steady income? There's an app for that
I think the fact that her pay fluctuated from between $90 and $700 is what makes her the "prototypical" user. I'm sure if she had a few high paying weeks, she wouldn't be desperate at the end of the month.

Also, I checked out their website and it seems that you can withdraw all of the money that you have in Even if you need it immediately. And they put a pretty big emphasis on the fact that when you start, you get hooked up with an Even employee to help guide you through your finances and using the app. It isn't just a download and go setup. It seems to me that there is a lot of human interaction involved with actually using it.

marcinx27··on Hidden backdoor API to root privileges in Apple OS X
I had this bug plaguing me for a while. My WiFi connection would drop every fifteen minutes or so, requiring me to turn off the WiFi and then turn it on again. I was able to fix it by doing a clean install of Yosemite (from a bootable drive).

A whois on craigslist.org shows that it was updated today.

I saw this, too. If you can get a little deeper into cl, ex. boston.cragislist.org/i/apartments or boston.craigslist.org/search/aap, you get a Microsoft Frontpage site with the title "digital gangster for life".
marcinx27··on Judge Sentenced to 28 Years for Selling Kids to the Prison System (2013)
I'm from the area that was under Ciavarella. I remember being in middle school and having him say in an assembly "If you get in a fight, you're coming to me and you're going away. Miss too much school, you're coming to see me and you're going away."
