I'm using MailTab Pro, which does notifications as well as presenting a mobile web view of the gmail website. I actually end up doing a lot of my email writing and processing directly from the web view because it's so much faster

You're better off going to a hotel in terms of cleanliness, and they are located all over midtown. I've never been refused from a hotel when I searched for or asked where the restroom was

Generally multiple currencies aren't accepted and the volatility is much lower. You probably couldn't make a profit on normal consumer goods that have a return policy. For this to work you'd need potentially extreme currency

If merchants were doing sales and returns using Bitcoin it seems like you could make money on the volatility by returning items when the value of Bitcoins went up within the return window. You'd have to be willing to keep items you bou

Yes. Audio Edition is a word-for-word reading of the print edition. Economist Radio looks like it has the random other audio things they do (there's also a podcast on iTunes with those sorts of things)

For anyone who isn't ready to completely turn off the news spigot, consider switching to a weekly (or monthly) source of news. I get all of my (non-HN) news from The Economist's audio edition. It's released weekly and they ha

This is cool. I implemented an extremely similar system for my last job. The data was dumped into mongo and then we visualized it with stacked bar graphs. One thing to consider since you're using a count+total model is that the most in

The really short version is that the company sells (probably newly created) shared in exchange for money. The owners of the company are generally not selling their own shares. That would lead to serious complexity. If you want to know more,

That's a really misleading way to put the sentiment that you should love your spouse selflessly. And marriage is definitely also about you. If you're in a relationship with someone who isn't reciprocating your selflessness yo
