Barrier of entry. Folks like me that haven't ridden a bike since they were a kid are scared as hell of riding around traffic. Scooters are much more approachable.

That's because the city has no solutions. So far they've only tried telling the universities to build more dorms and give up some of the housing they have. I mean, there's plenty of new apartment buildings going up around Bos

Boston does not require a car. Got rid of my car 10 years ago. Only problem is that rent is more expensive near the subway. But we have buses and many many international workers and students. Very livable without a car.

Get out of their job for $5k? I agree I may be used to an area with a higher cost of living, but folks don't win $5k on Wheel of Fortune and think "now I can finally pursue my dream of becoming a poet."

Yeah that was also back when Southwest wasn't at Logan but wanted to advertise that they had the lowest fairs "in the Boston area".

I've had a PSVR since release. I don't use it all the time. It takes extra effort and energy to set up and 'get into' a VR game that sometimes I just don't want to expend. And it's a very singular experience. H

And don't forget the chicken-egg problem. People see it as a fad because the majority of games are smaller 'tech-demo' types, but of course very few companies will invest much money in something available to only 5% of the ga

That was my thought too... why not just watch a foreign film? Those even take place in the country you want to learn about.

This really comes down to what you expect from the product and what your use case is. I don't want something to select music for me. I listen to whole albums. I want to be able to search or an album or an artist and listen to one of th

I've never worked for a company that said "we are going to use technology that takes twice as long to implement new features." Even when I worked in a boring industry like advertising and banking they expected things to be do

Whoa! Whoa! Are you suggesting that the end experience with a programming framework might depend on the details of your specific project and should not be inferred from general blog posts? That's insane! /s

Ohhhhh, now I understand why that one ex-coworker that 'follow' stars about 20 projects a week. I always used them as bookmarks and I couldn't believe that they ever were going to use that many things.

This American Life did an entire episode about correcting one of their earlier episodes when they found out that the individual had made up many of the details. Honestly, the retraction episode was better than the original one: https:&#x2F

I try my hardest not to do any 'grading' based on someone's github, but instead use it as a reference of what I can expect when the candidate gets to the interview. There's always a feeling out point at the beginning of

Yes yes yes. It never made sense to me that our ticket sizing was supposed to be an estimate and yet the planning that used those estimates was considered a commitment. Totally insane.

The most important thing is to communicate how you were able to add value to the company. Translate your role into the services and value it added. Think about any big projects or major impacts you had and highlight them. Even if it's

I can vouch that here in the US, there are companies that track where a bike is locked/unlocked. This data is mapped and fed to a rebalancing team which can wrangle strays. In addition, paying a premium for not locking up next to a sta

I'd like to see a quoted source that the reason NPR pushed back the publication was because he was too reasonable. I read that on the web this morning, but only found Milo himself saying that's why he thought it was delayed.
