Bottle and can deposit has been going on in Massachusetts since at least the 80's (when I was growing up there) - https://www.mass.gov/deposit-bottle-can-recycling

Bright flight.

Let's assume ebooks are 20% (I know that's the upper bound you're positing, but let's start with that). If my salary were reduced by 20%, I would definitely say that I was making "much less". Would I say the same if my salary were reduced by, say, 10% rather than 20%? Maybe, maybe not, but I doubt I'd go so far as to say that characterization was simply "not accurate".

I love public transportation and hate driving my own car to and from work. I stopped using public transportation for personal safety reasons. I am not a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

The affiliate income helps them to pay their remote employees.

If their goal is to kill traditional retail, why are they opening traditional retail book stores across America?

No Kindles can, they're based around Mobi, which is a quick file conversion away from an epub.

I grew up in Boston and I spent tons of time riding the T. Driving in the city and especially parking was a nightmare and the T almost always got me where I wanted to go.

I lived on the front range for 4 years about 10 years ago. I only took the train in Denver a handful of times because driving in the city and especially parking was very easy and convenient.

I'm guessing over time Denver will become a less pleasant place to drive, but it's still decades behind many cities with solid public transportation.

You can have multiple social logins on SO (including any arbitrary OpenID provider), so you can be very safe on that site.

As someone who made a decent career for himself in tech without having been given a four year party immediately after high school, I am having a hard time seeing what I should be objecting to in this development. As far as I know, all of these students are welcome to roast a steer as often as they'd like after college, ideally on their own property.

I hope that wasn't during the summer. That's a big rectangle!

That list is a synthesis of many different sources, most prominently the english Wikipedia. It is not directly relevant to the question asked by the parent comment.

As it's currently structured, HSA's are usually a part of a health insurance plan with high deductibles. It's not an either/or thing, it's a both/and thing.

This looks like a reasonable and unique URL for this story - https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_5

I haven't looked into Persona since they shut it down, but is it a protocol or a service? If it was actively developed again, would one be able to use Persona without integrating with any Mozilla service at all or would there always be a Mozilla layer involved?

> Also, they arbitrarily told Instagram to fuck off by only banning their image embeds, which pissed off even more users.

As I understood it at the time, the integration was turned off from Instagram's side - http://status.twitter.com/post/37258637900/instagram-photo-r...

TIL if you've run a bootstrapped web business for ten years, but didn't support Net Neutrality, you've just been kicked off Team Internet.

Can somebody explain like I'm 5 what ELI5 means?

Tolerance exists precisely for things which you hate. If you reserve tolerance for the unimportant issues, then you are intolerant.

That was a well stated defense of intolerance.

If bitcoin needs a savior, then it is pointless.

No doubt that when bitcoin's success is obvious, he will also admit his mistake and go on to make another uninformed prediction.

Another way to remove bosses is to work for yourself and co-ordinate with others through prices.

Getting Chrome Beta for Android did the trick. Thank you for the fantastic tools you Chrome folks are building.

Anybody know if screencasting works with a Galaxy Nexus? I am not seeing the icon in Dev Tools and I can't find a list of supported devices.

Well, that is certainly an enterprise URL.

Welcome to Texas! The winter will be a lot more fun than the summer was.

This is actually "[a] periodical about best practices and advanced techniques in Objective-C." It turned out to be more interesting than the HN title made it seem.

Today's serving of feudal security is brought to you by...

I know some bits about campaign finance, but I also know that most people I meet in the US care much more about physical security than they do about privacy/civil liberties/etc.. They vote for people who implement nasty policies and they do not make those votes because they have been tricked.
