Calling a 1.5L Prius engine "expensive" is a bit of a stretch, you can buy a lightly used engine for ~$500. Compare with say Tesla where a single motor runs you over $3000 and they call it "cheap".

Interesting, I often drop caffeine for a week or so (without any real conceited effort, typically just when I'm sick or on vacation) and any withdrawal seems gone after a few days but then restart it within a week because it's jus

It's not just a nagging doubt, it's adding a "gap" to your resume - I've heard many employers view any sort of exclusive self-employment as basically that and it's something that actively keeps me hesitating.

How much is a normal % of take home pay to go to your mortgage? I'm at about 30% and it's my only debt.

I think you're confusing some sort of emotional pain which may deserve analysis with physical pain which analysis cannot bring any insights from - it's just pain. Nothing revolutionary.

This seems to me to be entirely backwards. If you appreciate creativity, don't you want to have as much time as possible to experience and enjoy the world around you? To learn? To create? Why would you spend the day stuck in bed feelin

And in the best case (and almost 100% of the time) you'll just heal anyways, but won't give a shit about the pain and will actually be able to do stuff. I think I'll roll that dice, thanks anyways. I'm generally able to

Yeah, I question the idea that it's beneficial to experience pain - why should I? Especially if it's going to cost me days of my life that I could do something with. Maybe not go out, but at least be able to catch up on some of th

How so? Texting someone isn't distracting to anyone around you... unless I'm missing something? Are you really that easily bothered by other people that them enjoying something in a different way than you detracts from your experi

What's with the incessant need to tell other people how to enjoy an experience? I'm reminded of this xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1314/

I'm a programmer who's currently in a union position - I want out. I pay dues and get basically nothing for them, as developers we're generally in decent negotiating positions. Unions are great when you're not in that po

Run your mail server on a different provider and configure it to strip the relay headers - some mail relay services may also work for this purpose.

I see people on this very website claim they can probably implement an Uber clone in a weekend or two - and they're probably right, the basics of such a service are quite simple, but perfecting it and marketing it are far harder. Is th

Yeah, I put a good pile of reverse engineering work into this thing at one point - used Flare and Flasm along with a lighttpd proxy to replace their swfs with my own.

Yes, CloudFlare even provides official lists for this purpose. https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ IPv4 space is far too small not to use this. Often times if an attacker has determined your provider in the past, they may

I fail to see how it'd be good for this use - do they require a number of friends or something? I have 4 Facebook accounts for faking out exactly this kind of stuff, but none with any real information.

So they didn't bother to check if the add to group message was from someone in the group? I mean no offense to the developers, but this seems like a fairly basic oversight and quite concerning that respected and popular products didn&#

Nice method, but for future record you don't really need to mess with mains to hook up Sense or OpenEnergyMonitor, they use inductive current clamps which work by detecting the field around the a single terminal of your incoming mains.

30 Rock also pushed Obama a bit if I recall correctly and before the election - but they also cracked a joke about how Tina Fey's character would tell everyone she was voting for Obama but then secretly vote Republican. So think what y

Indeed - I think ad-paid centralization (largely for ease of use sake) effectively drove a lot of great stuff off the internet.

And stuff like Wikipedia which runs ad free off donations. Honestly, I'm okay with that, most info I get is from Wikipedia, scientific papers or tiny random blogs. What sites are you afraid of it killing? Junk news sites? Reddit? I can

What makes you think they're unsigned? Surely there's at least some basic checksumming if not cryptographic signatures inside of that blob? There's no reason to even bother with delivering it over https if you put a good sign

If they're just doing so by essentially flipping between bid and ask prices they may also be called scalpers. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/scalpers.asp

It really is - any many people focus on its features as a GUI library, but it goes so much beyond that. Providing data structures, concurrency primitives, file management, networking, high performance drawing, etc. And it provides all these
