Thank you! I definitely have found it useful for analyzing pages, SERPs, and doing some link building. Upcoming features should make it useful for agents using browser control.

and the disrespect!

That's also true, but the point I am making is that registered vehicles may not ever get driven.

it's the actual swatting

My first thought is that this is a pricing problem, especially considering the cost of enforcement.

Also, please consider this is just for registering the vehicle, gas taxes actually pay for road use.

AOC could lose her district and opt to run against Schumer instead of staying in the House. Payback for AOC beating another incumbent Democrat that ends in her beating Schumer for US Senate.

That is the most interesting thing that could happen at least.

Yeah, I think it deleted all my plugins this morning. Yay.

Right, they just used an outdated, unfair, deprecation schedule that doesn't reflect reality. Just happened to still be on the books.

They aren't "required" to use that schedule, it sounds like they are the only ones using it, and Sound Transit wrote the legislation.

So I really don't understand your point. Sure we need transit, but the ends don't justify the means.

State Rep. Judy Clibborn, the chairwoman of the House Transportation Committee, said it hadn’t even occurred to her that Sound Transit would use the older method to calculate car-tab fees, which lawmakers long ago decided was unfair.

“Sometimes if you don’t think to ask the question, you make an assumption, because it’s not even on your radar screen,” said Clibborn, D-Mercer Island.

>the current car tab is at least an order of magnitude too small.

Your opinion may be clouding your judgment. It's not right to inflate the value because you can't pass a higher rate with legislation. This is why a lot of people don't support transit, because the people advocating it can't be honest.

This is also why Washington State voters keep passing a cap on the car tab fee. Like it or not, the voters of the state still get to decide on the rules that govern them. They agreed to a rate increase on the fair-market value of their vehicle, not for Sound Transit to charge whatever they want because they lost some grant money.

Sound Transit inflated car valuations https://goo.gl/bhGuFC

It was dishonest at best, at worst it's a fraud.

And some of the worst housing affordability. People who move out of the city can't justify to drive and park in Seattle.

It would be near impossible to navigate Metro, SoundTransit, and surrounding transit agencies without OneBusAway or Google Maps. Idk, SoundTranist also tried a massive money grab on car tabs on inflated valuations. They are doing just as much to undermine support for transit as anyone.

I guess it is pretty common for sites with parallax. It's pretty damn annoying.

Truth. I've been working on that scrolling issue. I think I have it fixed finally. It's part of a plugin that I've been evaluating and need to get rid of.

Maybe WSJ hasn't heard of all that AdSense money.

Really need to talk about why people choose to live where they do, and usually the answer is school districts. It's difficult to say exactly what kind of living environment families in the USA would choose if public schools in urban areas were better choices compared to suburban schools.

AdWords has demographic targeting and in-market segments, you can be slightly more targeted than broke people looking for Maserati's.

Agree with your general sentiment though, it's not necessarily a platform problem, the real problem may be expertise or a meh offer.

Not to mention that declining home values weren't good for the economy as a whole.

Transportation is a huge factor in available land that is currently dedicated to parking that could be used for housing. Uber and Lyft could change some land use policies but it is going to take a change in policy overall because I believe that it is largely tied to job growth which is essentially desirability. Seattle is expensive to rent or own in and yet Tacoma and Everett seem very affordable by comparison.

It seems like more than just one stupid tweet.

Why hardware? Because delivery of Microsoft mobile services across Apple & Google devices puts them at a strategic disadvantage in the marketplace. Google isn't going to send users to Bing or Office when people get an Android phone. If the Nokia camera really was what people wanted Windows Mobile probably would have been a HUGE hit and Bing would probably sneak up a bit in share of the search market.

That is the best reason why, it raises the floor for other core services.

It is a quality device, but the marketing just seems wrong. Too expensive, different models of the Surface are radically different products, doesn't have the developers that iOS or Android has, and just didn't take off for some reason.

I don't see a reason to not make the Surface, people I know who have them, love them, and that is something that could be built on. That used to be the space that Apple occupied in the 90s, small user base with intense adoration and love and eventually came to be a dominant player in personal computing.

I wouldn't worry about that too much.

A peaceful exit, on our barge. Good day sir.

Wonder if people actually went out and spent on AdWords when the organic keyword data went to 100% not provided. Has to account for at least some of it.

Nice try NSA.

They must be getting ready to release the next model of Nexus phone.

OK, my point wasn't that PyLadies was hurting women, quite the opposite. My point was that raising that amount of money shows the amount of collective guilt that the group felt towards this protected minority. Which is what caused the initial over-reaction that cost the dongle jokers their jobs.

My initial reaction was this is great, women are underrepresented in tech. Thoughts that came afterward: this is a horrible overreaction to what happened at PyCon over dongle-gate and this reinforces the boys club by making women a protected class (no pun intended).

"Smart Work" will be predicated by "Smart Managers."

Between the time and expense of commuting and the amount of time wasted at the office and in meetings it makes sense to monitor productivity and not attendance.

There is nothing stopping you from forking your own version of WordPress. It is GPL and as long as your derivative work is also GPL you should be fine.
