I spoke with someone in Grande's (competing ISP) network planning division and he explained that getting into new buildings downtown was very expensive / difficult given Austin's telco requirements (have to dig up streets, etc.). Is this al

I'm not saying it's a perfect model, but the alternative is having to pay $100/month for a cable subscription to watch garbage you don't want to see, or $10+ to see it in a dirty movie theater, or $15 to "buy" a movie that was $15 in the 90

Rant ahead... Am I the only one dissatisfied with the way media delivery has played out the past couple of years? We started with a rapidly developing delivery system (the internet) and content makers who couldn't see the value in capitaliz

I'm skeptical she'd take this kind of action, but maybe Adria is more naive than I thought. First she is shocked at the reaction of her public ostracization, then she thinks suing an ex employer is within her best long-term interests? Even

I'm still amazed there are journalists reporting that the developers made sexist jokes, and furthermore embarrassed at America's inability to be comfortable with sexuality. The dongle joke was 5th grade humor and the forking comment had 0 i

Cool idea and I'm a big fan of the simple design. I have a friend here (Austin resident myself) who has been painfully vetting options this month through CL. Looks like some of the filtering tools don't work -- I selected a min and max age

Not unless Southwest opens up their flight data, as it's currently closed to everyone. AA tried this once and pulled Orbitz's access (Expedia followed in support of Orbitz), then AA realized no one had any brand loyalty and "patched their d

The site is now 403'ing but I'm really curious what else he could have done and didn't admit to for his story. Personally, this all makes sense right up until the point where the president of Skytech says Ahmed should not have run his tests

As soon as I saw flux pop up on HN this was the first thing that came to mind. I've had trouble sleeping the past 3-4 nights and could not figure out why (no change in any other aspect of my life--diet, stress, workouts, relationships, caff

I do, because the Google Apps security policy is way too inhibitive for me to add my work account on my android phone to use the native apps. Essentially, the policy requires me to enter a 6-character password (read: a password, not a PIN)

This article could have been summed up with a chart that has been around for quite some time: http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html As many people have mentioned, total resolve of pixels is not tantamount to proving value of the

I think the basis for evaluating the quality of a community lies in the discourse and communication. Submissions are a part of that, but the discussion that follows (i.e. comments) is the most important indicator of change. Personally, ther

Maybe I'm missing the point of this entire thread and don't truly grasp the argument for EBM vs. correlation, but can someone explain why a statistically significant correlation for this kind of efficacy is not evidence in and of itself? h

I realize this is OT, but speaking as a tab hoarder, there's no justifiable reason for the behavior. And I'm not exaggerating when I use the term hoarder -- it's the same principle as hoarding physical goods, since the personal justificatio

Ikea wasn't always so bad; consumers just never changed buying habits when their quality went down, and when Ikea realized they didn't have many competitors in the "low to medium quality" space. Exhibit A: 6-10 year old Jerker desk (no idea

Just another anecdote, but every Dutchman and Swede I've met has a much better grasp of the English language than any other country, and they all attribute it to how much American TV they watch. Probably just a corollary relationship given
