ahahha what? more like $8,000

Amazon US gets stuff to me in Aus faster than most australian online retailers.. theyve really sorted their shit out

If anyone here is from the google fonts website, theres a typo in this document:

"Bold 8.5/12pt Roboto supports 16 weights as well as advanced typographic features such as smallc aps"

he brought it up in a thread a few days ago, I'm guessing someone just went back through to find the page

Eh if it means im replacing a $3-$4 cup of coffee with a 50 cent cup of coffee + convenience, sounds good to me.

Wow this is crazy, they're reading the rolled scrolls, compensating for the layers, curvature, etc. (not to mention the.. you know.. volcano.. damage)

If you're in Australia or New Zealand (I think you're US?) there is the Hays salary guide http://www.hays.com.au/salary-guide/

It's an awesome document. Even though the numbers would be completely different I think that something like the breakdown between junior/senior etc level roles would probably be similar in the US? (in terms of the % salary jump you'd get from moving up or sideways)

It was originally created for use by non-profits and then opened up to anyone, so plenty of people still have that connotation with it

Exactly, you could have every window and door barricaded up with steel and someone could still come along, take some tiles off the roof and get in easily that way.

Relevant article from a few years ago:

Does targeting a specific temperature determine if you're classed as warm blooded?

Relevant article snippet:

"Some other types of fish, such as tuna, have similarly designed blood vessels in certain parts of their bodies, allowing for “regional endothermy” — warm-bloodedness that’s limited to certain organs or muscles, such as the eyes, liver or swimming muscles.

But the opah is the only fish scientists know of that has this design in its gills, where most fish lose the majority of their body heat to the surrounding cold water. By warming up the blood in the gills before it goes anywhere else, the opah achieves not just regional endothermy, but whole-body endothermy, according to the paper’s authors.

Testing showed that the opah is able to maintain a core body temperature about 5 degrees Celsius warmer than the surrounding water."

So many options for a clear sky moon!

If you're using iOS i'm pretty sure that custom keyboards aren't allowed to access the password fields?

Probably not, considering his weird behaviour and statements about being too young to care about money I doubt it will spur investor confidence in the direction of the company.

> The only people who do believe it are people who've read somewhere that other people believe it, and are ready and willing to believe anything they hear that they like the sound of.

Is there a name for this? Because it seems pretty widespread across almost every controversial topic. (e.g. "public outcry" against X, that never existed, can still get knee-jerk reactions from governments, people, etc.)

Bad for who though?

Isn't it good for the writers? More people viewing the content?

Isn't it good for the users? A better experience?

> I wonder how the story would have gone differently if the man had refused to consent to the search.

Probably taze the guy, then shoot him 7 times in the back as he runs off

Exactly, the sitcom approach has also generally been fat dude + thin woman for just as long a time

Especially weird, that now their national long term plans include specifically 'the technology to connect us all together' within the same period of time they canned the NBN!

Did you have any structure to these 1on1s?

My old manager used to do these with the entire team, but he would literally sit with us, as 'how are things?' and then end the conversation if they said not bad

I use flickr to upload my photos to share with Facebook friends and colleagues:

1) I dont want my workmates all on my Facebook account

2) The Facebook album uploader fails 100% of the time if I do more than like 10 photos.

3) Easy presentation of camera/exif with location tagging if I used my DSLR is great for me.

For those wondering, the new app update still has my existing albums, it hasn't deleted anything that I can see

Maybe in the intro path in addition to saying 'let me out' you could have an option like 'i like the concept, but show me a different style' and then take a few example paths to show off possibilities

This sounds like one of those tasks where 'I inherited this spreadsheet that handles it' is probably the answer 90% of the time

Yeah I mean, if you are already using two hands on the phone anyway, may as well go big and get all the benefits

TL;DR: School > Air Force > 'selected' by NASA.

I thought this was going to be an inspiring 'to do' list of candidates & application processes. Just being selected with no mention of reasoning or criteria was kind of a let down.

When I was travelling with my SO we ended up in Manchester and needed to get to London. I can't remember the exact fare but it was something like 150 pounds each for the one way train ride ($580 AUD total) vs a similar length trip in Australia which would have been about $110 AUD total.

A complete rip-off IMO.

Apple tends to be pretty good at releasing 1.0's where the problems can be fixed as tech improves, rather than being fundamental design flaws (though they manage those as well.. coverflow)

There's an unbelievable amount of pretentiousness in this thread, it's ridiculous.

It'd buy you about 8 dozen candles.

Easy! We'll just run our cloud service on AWS!
