For me it's just the fact that if I'm grocery shopping at Target, I can go look at the menswear department for a few minutes because I also like buying new clothes. It's much much harder to buy good fitting and good looking clothes online because you don't get true colors and fit without trying it on. This is a main reason that many box stores target women more than men, since statistically women are more interested in clothing than men.

I feel it's kind of disingenuous to call it a "pub in the middle of nowhere" when it's a Michelen star rated restaurant that only offers a tasting menu. Also the article doesn't describe why it was named the World's Best Restaurant. It just says they used "an algorithm that takes into account the quantity and quality of millions of reviews".

Reviewers on Yelp/TripAdvisor/etc are generally really terrible and know nothing about food, so this accolade is probably not worth much in real value. However it's crazy how quickly it affected their publicity.

My commute is 30-35 minutes each way (walk to Bart, work in downtown SF). For comparison, when I lived in Lower Haight my commute time was 25 minutes each way (MUNI bus a block from my apartment to downtown).

Or consider that the bay is more than SF. I recently moved to Oakland and I'm paying around $1k/mo on rent compared to $2k/mo or more living in the city while not really giving up any of the benefits of living in the area.

I think the happy medium here, where you can still keep in touch with people but not get sucked into checking it all the time, is deleting the app from your phone. It used to be habit for me to unlock my phone and if I didn't have anything to do, just open the app and begin scrolling. Once that wasn't easily accessible I stopped completely. Now I only go on Facebook if I have a reason to, like looking someone up or checking the only group (fantasy sports) that is active. I also can still use messenger for those few people that prefer it.

I deleted the app because of the FOMO feeling that I was getting and now it's basically gone. I can still access it, but I check Facebook a maximum of once a day, minimum around once a week.

Just so everyone knows, to actually compare your school you need to provide a lot of information (more than just signing up). It requires info about your degree and two of the following: work experience, offers received, test scores, and extracurriculars. You an also upload your resume to get by that info.

It seems like after you enter that info it gives you info about the companies that people work for that graduated from your school. Not really that interesting as far as I can tell, and nothing that's particularly related to people who actually graduated from your school as far as I can tell. All the sample sizes were very small (between 1 and 5).

And even beyond that, if you want more info you need to pay.

No thanks.

I think you aren't in the normal use case. I know a lot of people that keep money in Venmo because it's now "Venmo money". It's easier for people to categorize money that way and feel like it's separate from their bank account when it's in Venmo. I imagine they want to replace your bank account like Paypal has tried to.

Then again, Paypal also has a debit card, so this is probably a natural progression for a child of Paypal.

He actually sort of answers this in the last question they ask at the end. He says that because he's made it so obvious that they're his enemy it's impossible for them to do anything about him in the public light except possibly have him killed which would obviously be incredibly suspicious.

As far as the actual legality of the things he does, it seems like pretty much everything in the talk I had heard before, mostly through the Snowden files.

IANAL but if someone leaves their front door open, it's still illegal to walk in and take their possessions. I would imagine this falls under a similar ruling.

It's not that it can't be used as a desktop OS (it obviously can), but that it will be see widespread adoption (like macOS or Windows) outside of the general Linux userbase.

Totally agreed with regard to 1). Coffee shops, schools, and airplanes all block certain websites. It may be unfortunate but it's clearly not illegal. It's their wifi and they can do with it what they please.

Now I can understand if it said anywhere that it would actual tamper with traffic then it could be illegal, but as it stands it just says it might block or redirect them. Sounds like a pretty standard firewall to me.

I work out of a coffee shop every morning and come into the office around lunch time. It helps break up my day into getting serious work done and things that require communications.

As for being fair to the coffee shop, it's just become a way of life recently. If you don't want people working from your shop, don't offer wifi. The shop I'd been going to for over a year recently stopped offering wifi so I started going to a more worker friendly shop.

Only reason I brought it up because it was originally showing the all to familiar unicorn on the website, then it changed to also saying maintenance.

Seems like they're saying it's maintenance now?

Probably the largest (and most controversial) change in baseball was the adoption of the DH by the AL in the 70s.

I think that file is just clearly unnecessary and it just shows sloppy project management to leave a file like that in a production (open source) codebase.

Is this what you're looking for? http://imgur.com/a/IGJ2h

This is roughly what the graph looks like if you change the axis to be % change year over year: http://imgur.com/a/H6T5d

I have similar experiences with hockey. It's obviously not as cheap as squash, but most of the pickup in my area is 6:30am or so. The rink is also walkable from my office, so sometimes I bring my skates to work and skate during lunch just to get myself moving. The best part is, it's never too late to start! I took lessons starting at 22, but I was easily the youngest person in the class. Lots of people in their 40s learning to ice skate for the first time.

This is coming from a person who you couldn't pay to exercise two years ago. Recreational sports don't feel like exercise, they feels like playing a game. Also with something like ice skating all your improvements are very noticeable and it feels really good to master a new skill or pull off a deke or score a goal in a game.

Obviously also not for everyone, but these kind of stories are true for every sport. Find something you like, it's never too late to try something new.

Right, and what the poster above you was saying is that people will sacrifice in that regard (or they simply don't care) to gain the benefits of living in an urban area like the culture, food, close proximity to bars and nightlife, etc.

This isn't a black and white issue and it always disheartens me when people are so quick to trash the Bay Area.

Here are some more if anyone wants one.
