I have a stupid question: Why do people need IPv6? What do they use it for?

You say that "This seems harder — making apps is more time-consuming". Which is true, making apps is harder.

Because of that, it's probably easier to generate income from apps because the market is not as saturated as niche-wordpress-blogs.

> This seems harder

I think that's why it's easier to generate passive income.

Grips wear out... Just have two holes on the lever which can be used for drilling pilot holes and then screw in 2 screws.

When we remodeled our house, we specifically bought lever-style door handles so that it's easier to open / close doors, easier on arthritic hands, etc.

But, I wonder: Are there are other door mechanisms which will prove easier to use? Did anyone ever install spring controlled doors in a home for this reason?

I don't know if they will accept liability, but they can try to prevent it as much as possible within their ecosystem.

Theoretically, the creators of coin can implement some sort of security in these sorts of situations:

1) They require you to register this "coin" device 2) They require you to add some banking account details

Now, if you were to "clone" someone else's card without their permission, the trail would lead directly to you...

The point was: There is a difference between being broke ($0) and having $20 million in the bank.

That's a huge difference.

At $20 million, there is nothing you can't do. At that point, with some wise long term investments, you wouldn't need to worry about finances.

I think the issue was the lens and not the frame.

You could have taken that frame that you liked and went to a local merchant to purchase new lenses for. That's what I would do even if I purchased the frames online, I'd get the prescription lens done elsewhere.

Regardless of whether they explode, catch fire, burn slowly, burn quickly, the point still stands. Their placement on the underside of the car could probably be the best choice considering everything.

I don't think placement could solve the points you mention.

Sure, debris can damage the underside and cause the car to catch fire, but putting the packs in the front or rear of the car can cause it to explode on impact as well. Having it on the underside will probably cause fewer fires than having it in the front for example.

That said, consider gasoline cars: The fuel needs to travel from the tank to the engine. Effectively, an impact anywhere on the fuel line can cause a fire.

Technically, this is broken. 4-digit security codes exist, yet this form doesn't allow them.

Silicon Valley isn't a long term investment. I don't see the people living there to settle down in the area.

I don't feel like there should be any real concern within the next 5 years, but I do believe that within the next 10+ years, we could see a major shift in salaries.

I don't have any data, but nothing will continue "going up forever"...

(2) Yay! The client wins! :) On a more serious note: That is how internet companies continue to stay in business: automate, lower prices, increase competition, etc. Agents just beat them at their game.

(1) How many online reviews are fake? How many are written out of spite? There is a level of trust you have to give someone: either an online reviewer or a person.

(3) Having a human to work with is usually better service than not. But it really depends on the situation.

Edit: I'd like to mention that I am not an agent of any sort. I do more business online than anyone I know, but I also realize the pros/cons of both sides of the spectrum.

In my personal experience, I love travel agents. They were able to:

(1) Make valuable recommendations (2) Offer me a better price than any website (3) Save me hours upon hours of wasted time

These people are investors. Investors usually look solely at the money instead of the effects or consequences.

Legacy design is popular because it's cheap.

I just want to say: computer controlled cars have saved more lives than any other parts in a car. How different would the automotive world be without ABS and similar devices?

According to the comments on this thread, that scenario can apply to ANY manufacturer. These problems are inherent to the technology being used, not the users of the technology.

Is this a MITM attack wrapped as an App?

I noticed that recently Apple stores are managed independently.

Many actions / decisions being made really depend on the store. Personally, I needed an iphone replaced and one local apple store decided NOT to even look at the iphone. Another apple store was very upfront: they looked at the damaged iphone, and offered an exchange for $200.

You can use a house or lifestyle metric to determine who is richer or poorer. A house or your lifestyle is about as public as it gets.

The key point from the article: Communicate well.

This is really very true in the corporate world. The better you know how to communicate, the more likely it is that you will succeed in your chosen profession.

These types of errors / issues / design choices are more common than you think. You'd be very surprised, but you can even see it on major sites.

My experience with tmobile and Att is probably reversed: tmobile found ways to add hidden or mysterious charges that others couldn't (I.e. $10 / month android charge). Most of the customer service reps in recent years got worse and worse.

I finally switched to Att about 2 years ago and I have to admit: every time I called, everyone was friendly and helpful. Nothing was hidden: they laid out their charges and I agreed to them. They may have even slightly higher ($10 a month), but I have excellent nationwide coverage and very good internet speeds when I need it.

This was just my experience, and it may be different for others.

In our experience, even though amazon has a huge customer base, that doesn't translate into people deciding to pay with amazon.

On our site, we only monitor Paypal sales, as those are by far the most abundant.

The beauty of the nest device is that it doesn't need a button. All you need to do is wave.

A button requires you grab a chair or broom to activate... and that can be dangerous. Additionally, those test buttons work for 2 mins before it starts sounding again.

Well, how about not thinking of reducing your dependence on conventional energy sources to zero, but to reduce it down to 20%.

If it would cost you $1k to purchase and install, but it would save you $1k in 5 years, wouldn't it be worth it?

I thought of it more in terms of "baby steps" instead of covering my entire yard.

Whenever I get stuck on a problem, I try to clear my head. That usually involves tackling another task, getting some fresh air, or just going home.

I noticed that going home early and tackling the problem early the next morning helps more than the 2-3 hours I spent with no success.
