Same reason that hurricanes (and now powerful tornados) are named.

Naming something makes it more real as a thing and easy to speak about.

I've wondered that too about other manufactures defects, that they probably suffer the same flaws with the bad ball solder on the GPUs but they didn't sell the same numbers as a MBP so it goes unnoticed.

I had my "2011 MBP - refurbished" covered under Applecare so I got to at least get it covered as these issues were cropping up. They replaced both the logicboard and the harddrive.

I ended up selling it for whatever I could get for it a month ago and just cutting my losses before the Applecare ran out.

Even if it was 99.99999% I would bet that there's still a huge percentage that has no idea what their phone can do, let alone Bluetooth pairing it. I'd even guess that many people think Bluetooth is the name just for those douchey headsets.

Same, I thought it was going to be about some super specific use-case where only old iPhones running iOS 2 would work.

> SF which seems to be where Uber gets the most usage has the BART which is great, and you can always walk.

Uh, do you even live in the bay. I don't but I know that the BART is pricey, stops running late, and the bay is filled with places you'd never walk at night.

In Los Angeles it's huge. Especially for night-life.

Now, it's easy enough to pay a small fee to avoid a DUI. My wife works Lyft occasionally for rush-hours, and from her experience quite a lot of people using it to get to/from work can't drive due to a recent DUI.

As far as taking a taxi: Previously you wouldn't ever even consider using a Taxi unless you absolutely had no other option including calling in favors from friends and family or splitting it 4 ways with friends. Only way I'd ever take a Taxi to/from the airport is if it's on the company dime. Lyft/Uber turned a $65-70 taxi ride into $20-30.

We take it occasionally for night-life and have noticed nearly all the drivers that we asked that have over a few months wised up and do Lyft & Uber simultaneously.

I see you!

They can track your location via a cell phone that nearly everyone carry's with them at all times.

If an infection does come over, then expect people the laud the NSA's spying because it'll be the thing that makes it possible to identify, target, and quarantine.

Canon 5D Mk III has both SDXC and CF slots that you can duplicate as you shoot.

If the mother is an immigrant then she probably works in some form of unskilled labor that provides little pay and even more-so little job stability. Chances are if she was ever late she'd be fired. Living in the Mission provides proximity to the job which for many immigrants are gained through personal relationships alone.

So, moving to a new area means that she'll now have to add an expensive and long BART ride into her budget which will probably negate any savings. Plus, she'll loose any childcare resources she currently has established with friends that live in the area. There may/may not be jobs in the new area but she won't be able to get any of them there because she lacks the personal relationships with the immediate surrounding community to get a new job.

Moving is also an expense she can't afford, hence the SRO that doesn't require a deposit. If she had moved in the past it probably was from an SRO to another SRO with most of her belongings being things that could be gathered into a friends car or walked down the street.

Also, living in SF provides a /much/ better future for the children over Oakland where a residence in her budget would probably be unsafe to walk outside at night.

When I moved from Portland, OR to Los Angeles, CA I sold the extra seat in the Penseke truck on Zim Ride.

The TJ airport bridge project will really take off the area by the availability of super-cheap Mexican flights by allowing people to park in the US, walk over a bridge, and then fly in/out of TJ.

Anyone have any ballpark numbers on how the finished products are saved? Quick estimation of RED 4K at a _minute_ is about 2.5TB [1]. The file-vaults of studios then will eventually rival the NSA's data collection warehouse!

Maybe it's because Burger King is more willing to make their items spicy?

Are there any that are different take on SMW that aren't crazy difficult? Like, what are the best SMW ROM hacks that are the most well thought-out.

Ditto for Zelda, those two are my favorite games but I can only play the same game so much.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

This is very very very bad and sets a horrible precedent. Portland has one of the best cable-access facilities and set of stations in the country. They serve a vital public interest, allow absolute free expression, and "professionalize" niche programs that otherwise would just be someone talking into a webcam.

Most notably, it's really taken a hard hit to MetaFilter[1]; the site had been funded by a $5 fee to join (post/comment) and Google Adwords on AskMetaFilter[2]. Now they've had to lay off several moderators which contributed to the sites high quality.

Paging BlackMagic, loan an ATEM Video Switcher to these guys and boom, drivers for BSD will be created :)

If not here, then where? I, myself, have all the hopes in the world for another open-source mobile ecosystem but all I've seen come out of "the project" is several burner phones and devs on HN complaining about the whole thing.

I haven't seen anyone cheering for joy at anything beyond the extensional concept.

Is there a vetted list of "good" apps for Android for basic tasks?

Like let's say I'm coming from iOS and now I have a million choices of EVERYTHING that used to be stock, like what SMS App do I go with?

Agreed on baity headline!

I know I'm looking forward to actually seeing pictures of Pluto since I was in elementary-school and learned about the solar system.

Wtf kind of 1950's world is this person living in? It sounds much less a woman problem than a personal problem that this person is having.

Our company is probably 60w/40m and the dev/tech teams are at 36% women and I can't imagine ANY of this happening.

I was flipping through the channels last night an NHK World had a special dedicated to showing off Hydrogen Fuel Cells. They had mocked up a small town, had a fleet of vehicles/forklifts, and had a lot of "label to camera" shots for Toshiba.

It all looked nice and tidy, but effectively they had to duplicate the natural gas infrastructure and then have /several/* fuel-cell objects behind houses that were about the size of a large refrigerator.

* If I remember right, one was merely to remove the odoring agent for leak detection.

Option D is exactly what InternetBrands is[1]. In short they own VBulletin, a bunch of niche forums (eg Fitfreaks, a Honda Fit forum), paid listing sites (Teen Summer Camp) and buy out "medium" sites that have a predictable revenue stream that requires almost no code updates.

I interviewed there and it's pretty much an internet sweatshop, (read any Glassdoor review) and the sites run everything from LAMP to VB/Frontpage MS Access DB. They burn through employees at a quick clip and outsource everything to Romania and Mexico.
