Once, I put a broken treadmill on the curb with a sign that said "Free." I came back a while later and it had a sign that said "$20".

I think it's fair to say that when people suggest "any amount of money" they have already bounded it by what is reasonable. Of course the Koch bros. aren't going to pay you $10m/yr to scale their website. They don't even pay people that m

The feeling of helplessness in this economy is probably a big part of the problem. In 2005, someone could feel like they had the option to switch employers, and routinely make that choice to stay. Now, that option is probably not availabl

Give me a quick (or configurable, or special URL) that includes a "search on Google Scholar" link and I will switch from Google. Ever since Google's visual refresh that removed the menu item for search on google scholar, I've lost one of m

I'm just noticing, reading this, that I find "get out of my face with indeed.com" to be more offensive than if you said, "screw indeed.com", even though the former seems less dirty. Language is a funny thing!

I remember from learning to program that there was a point where, probably because of good teaching, I "got it" and then I was able to teach myself. But I haven't yet gotten to the autodidact point in electronics. I've been looking for th

An important first step is to call her office and tell them how this personally affects you as her constituent. Then, organize professors from the universities in the district to call her and tell her how this personally affects them. If y

I know exactly what you mean. I have also vouched for someone in the past and watched it flame out. I try not to let it cause me to be less generous in the future.

Unfortunately, the article doesn't answer the question of why NY had starkly higher insurance premiums before those two rules were implemented in 2009. I was purchasing insurance in NY in 2002-2005 and premiums were 3-4 times what they are
