Relevant to the first book, but last year and this year have been awesome for women's achievement in ultrarunning: - Last year Courtney Dauwalter won the three most iconic trail ultras in a single season, when most professional runners

Right, I think it's helpful to define the most probable types of emergencies where having a non-electronic form of payment is useful. In the US that's likely some sort of natural disaster (hurricane, snow storm, blackout or browno

I've spent the majority of the past decade in Nashville, first for university and the past four years working in tech here after a short stint in California. In that time, the tech community here has expanded dramatically. Even when I

Not the GP author, but I've been in Nashville for about 8 years total (with a couple year gap in the middle). It's got a lot to offer, but it's become such a 'hot' city for people that you've got lots of recent

To elaborate on this, Nashville seized all Bird scooters until regulations could be put in place [1]. This is after two women were seriously injured downtown while riding the scooters [2]. I haven't used a Bird scooter yet although the

For what it's worth, I think attributing it to white flight is a little misleading. Davidson County is certainly more diverse than the other counties in the metro region, but most of the people I know who live outside of Davidson Count

I haven't seen anyone specifically comment on Nashville so I figure I'll chime in and give you my $.02. I did my undergrad at Vanderbilt in Nashville, moved to Mountain View for two years to work at Google and moved back a year ag

I grew up in Buffalo and I would not recommend this for a lot of reasons. There are plenty of other cities with affordable housing (including lower property taxes) and much more pleasant weather.

Although this is the first time something like this has been found in competition, I can remember a few prior allegations or instances that many people have found suspicious. So I don't personally find this to be a complete shock. One

This is something that is definitely overlooked in these discussions. I'm in the US, not living in SF or NYC but in a city growing fairly rapidly and closing on a house in a few weeks. I know that my mortgage won't increase (prope

I'd definitely suggest listening to this freakonomics podcast: http://freakonomics.com/2013/09/26/would-a-big-bucket-of-cas... You could also make a similar point as the podcast by looking at the experie

I agree with this. I really like having a desktop client in addition to a web client. Seems silly, but makes a big difference for me.

I find they're actually quite good gifts for smaller or more casual situations - as a thank you for someone who did you a favor, or when you don't know someone all that well. Or even for people who just like coffee.

Even worse, as the article mentions, is having another set of credentials that you can't ever delete. I don't want hundreds of different websites all with an account for me that I'm not ever going to use.

I don't know anything about how heavily you've modified Windows, but I just switched to OS X from Win7 a month ago. This is after only ever using Windows. I was surprised by how easily I made the switch. I know Lion gets mixed reviews from
