The difference is that a traditional RWD car has a heavy engine in the front, but is being pushed from the back where none of the weight is. So lack of traction and fish tailing is the obvious result. However, I think a RWD electric car wou

I mean no offence, but I think a few of these opinions are probably because of your skill level on both a snowboard and skis. > It works far more of your core muscles and your quads and hamstrings that skiing does, so it takes some time

Not a fan of riding with headphones for one main reason. You won't hear other people yelling for help. This is especially important when you ski off piste at west coast resorts. I never want to accidentally miss something yelling for h

Not legal to sell, but legal to possess. I go across the border and stock up at REI in Bellingham. No problems bringing it back across. Apparently this is quite common for lower mainland residents. When I brought 4 big bottles of the stuff

Maybe, but it can easily be interpreted as mean spirited, and added nothing at all to the discussion. A Microsoft MVP probably shouldn't be throwing shade at another company's marketing term.

Nobody pays a marginal rate > 50% in Canada. However, this will be counted as a capital gain, since Match almost certainly bought his shares in the company. That means 50% of the proceeds will be added to his taxable income. He'll p

I think you're misinterpreting my original post. It's not a shot at the Pebble, or any other device. It's an argument that the Apple Watch is not a toy, and is actually quite useful day to day for many people. It was an argum

I can, but it would probably be more efficient for you to just go look at the website.

You've mentioned four things that are part of the messaging app, and phone calls. If you aren't aware of the other things Apple Watch does that Pebble doesn't, you should probably do some more research.

> 5-7 day battery life and always-on, e-paper-like color screen. This enables you to use Pebble as an actual watch I'm not sure why the "always-on" aspect is an advantage. The Apple Watch display turns on when I raise my w

What does Pebble do that Apple Watch or Android Wear doesn't? I know many more "geeks" with Apple Watch or Android Wear than Pebble.

Point #2 is technically correct, but I think it's perfectly legitimate to block people from recruiting your employees at your place of business, while they are working. Lyft isn't trying to block Uber from contacting Lyft drivers

I think you've already made up your mind about PG, and there's nothing I can say that will change that. So I just won't say anything.

I think you misinterpreted that. PG said funding decisions aren't made based on similarity to the people making the funding decision. John Doerr is saying that sometimes one of factors in making a funding decision is similarity to othe

I think you're underestimating how entrenched the CC companies are in our society. I agree that they'll eventually be replaced, but I doubt it will be in the next year, let alone the next 5 years. I think Coin is a nice intermedia

I don't think this means what the title might imply. Photo Stream will still only store photos for 30 days, so it still doesn't replace Everpix or Loom.

I'm sure you're right. I just don't understand how this is a problem that Blackberry could have. They've been doing high volume messaging for longer than anyone. This is a terrible analogy, but it would be like McDonalds
