Related: http://www.ted.com/talks/amanda_palmer_the_art_of_asking The people's responses to the comment are telling. The Kickstarter said he'd make a potato salad. He probably has. He asked, and people gave,

That ... doesn't seem that expensive to me, coming from someone that lives in Seattle. Then again, I tend to get the day rates, or the late-night rates, which, if memory serves me, are like $15 for the night, while only staying an hour

You wouldn't :) but, it can be hard to find a parking spot in, for example, Seattle on a Friday night.

Wow. And in reference to your previous comment, if a drone pilot makes a mistake, we lose money, not lives. Another advantage of the drones.

Why does the airforce hate the A-10? That thing is terrifying.

Could you post a link to that YouTube video? sounds awesome.

614 revolutions per minute on the tire, assuming a 17" wheel, is still pretty impressive.

While I understand the intent here, do taxi drivers get checked against the potential for a stroke? That could happen to either side.

Then tax Uber in a special way?

Indeed, and it's awesome. It's just impressive that we can detect that odor better with dogs than with some sort of engineered odor detector

There's a lot of really cool information here, especially for animal lovers. From the technical side of things, though, one part stood out: the dogs are more effective at finding mines? That's not something I exactly expected; tho

There are definitely advantages to being completely wireless, building permits being one of them.

My guess would be for analytics, so it knows how its own service is being used and who is accessing websites through it. It comes with a convenient feature that bad URLs can be taken down on its site.

For you and the way you think. Don't forget the non-programmer mind.

I think an important question to be answered now is "which is less hygiene"? There have been a few one-offs of people that forewent not showers, but soap in the showers, in preference of scrubbing themselves, but not using modern

I honestly didn't perceive it as "free as in freedom" in the above context. That said, roads aren't that, either. Try driving on one without a license, insurance, using them in ways that are disapproved of / disallo

Roads aren't free, we pay for them in taxes and tolls.

Did you just turn on NoScript? Usually, when someone turns on NoScript for the first time, they need to go about enabling and disabling a standard set of websites' use of JS. I wish there were automatic whitelists for this sort of thin

I know people that survive on just above minimum wage and even pay for their own housing. They almost always make rent, but until they both started working, it was very, very close. I'm actually surprised that they can survive. They do

Depends on the location. Software devs aren't as highly loved in places that aren't The Valley and other tech hubs

Feeling full is a hugely important part of this. I'd be interested in that part as well.

I haven't tried Soylent; but, its price range and ease of use is making me start to consider it for nights / weekend times that I'm not working and don't feel like going out to eat. How does it taste? Do you still feel h

It looks like that's lower in Sweden, too, but the comments give more of a suggestion of that, not a direct statement.

Interesting that the comments on the article make some good points, including that the UK has about the same / a better deaths per capita than Sweden, despite it being the exact opposite type of road environment [edit: clarified wordin

This should be qualified with: since they already have it via credit card companies. You give your social security number when getting a credit card for a /lot/ of reasons. And these tend to be a good reasons.

That would make sense, too. In my own driving experience, most of the people that ride with me in the car in the front seat are of the mind "We're looking at the road", not "the driver is looking at the road, so I don&#x
