Yeah Denver turned one of the residential roads in my neighborhood into an official bike road two years ago. They replaced stop signs with roundabouts, put up tons of signage, and where there are lights at major crossings they put sensors t

I did Galvanize in the first half of 2016. 6 month program that I’m glad I did over some of the shorter ones. Salary was 90k coming out. I make 125 now, could be making much more but I chose to sacrifice some salary to be at a place with a

From one YC nonprofit to another, this looks awesome! Amazing work and really interesting to read about the stack powering it. We run a free tutoring service for low income students and this is something we deal with pretty regularly so def

Totally, the problem is all expectations. I bought a NordicTrack S22i (their peloton competitor) in early 2019, and love it. I pay like $450 a year or something for my family subscription to them and occasional maintenance on the hardware.

I used to pride myself on my ability to fit into small parking spaces and parallel park even big vans pretty precisely, and a backup camera blew all that out of the water because I can fit anywhere now. My little GTI with a backup camera m

The thing that kills me is even these investors seem to see Peloton as a hell of a lot more than it is. The “peers” they list are Netflix and Roku. No. Peloton’s peers are NordicTrack and, you know, other companies that make exercise equipm

Wow, real comic book villain energy here. “A video game company messed with my favorite spell, so I decided to go all in on wrecking the planet in the name of capitalism.”

This. We use a non-Google analytics product that we could even move to self-hosting if needed. But the marketing director basically was like “This is better than GA, and I will use it for almost everything, but we have to have GA also becau

Another classic is his review of “North” https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/north-1994 I remember for the Friar’s Club roast of Rob Reiner one comedian just read that review. “ I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hat

My Bachelor’s is in marketing and the main thing I learned from it is I didn’t have the stomach/moral flexibility for marketing.

But there are so many good games that have none of this bullshit. Check out Hades. It is so fun. And it is self-contained. The dev doesn’t even have interest in making an expansion despite demand because they made a fun, complete game and t

Yeah my MIL had a 2012 Dell that my son uses at her house. It was running Windows 7, and took about 10 minutes to boot and the same to shut down. I put Pop_OS on it. It has Firefox and Minecraft which are the only two things he cares about,

Alpha Protocol was removed from stores over music licensing issues. I freaked out because I didn’t have it downloaded, but it’s still in my library and I can download it. You just can’t even view it now if you don’t already own it.

Love the part where you take the example of Boris Johnson and his staff, and instead of going “What wrong-headed idiots,” you instead somehow take away “It’s the epidemiologists who are wrong-headed idiots!” There are plenty of political le

My wife and I have the Cinemark subscription and used to see an average of 1-2 movies per month. My son has a sleepover with his grandma once a week and we have date night. We might start that up again once he’s fully vaccinated (mid-Decemb
