I wish. I would love to have a small printer that looks good and is guaranteed to work.

Thanks! I will try that.

Logitech Harmony 650 remote. Why do you only turn on 3 of the 4 pieces of equipment necessary for me to watch Good Wife?

I currently have 32 open. :/

How long does it take to power up before you can start using it?

I'm at work but I set a reminder to check it out later.

obviously personal taste is big but the reason I appreciate Worhol is because his art begs the question "what is art?". And I don't think he offers an answer. I think it's brilliant. Each one of his pieces to me gets me asking: Would I hang this in my home? Do I like this? Does it have value? and for me, I wouldn't…

I find $40 billion in Medicare fraudulent claims quite shocking... can you point me to anything to read up on it?

Transportation planners model travel patterns and use the information to predict at what will happen in the future or for a given set of circumstances. Any time changes are proposed to the transportation network transportation planners are asked "what is the effect?". So if a new freeway goes in, an interchange is…

For me it seems like keurigs and the like just create more garbage and over complicate a really simple process. I pour hot (boiled)water over coffee grounds (I use a brewt or a french press). My only garbage is the grounds.

I bought analogue/digital to digital a/v switch - works great. not quite the same price as a 4k monitor though.

only took 37 years...

How does one get access to the data? I see no links or description of process any where on that blog.

Agreed. Though uber's data could be useful if we can quantify that bias and scale for it - especially if combine it with other data sets. Because collecting that data the ol'fashioned way is expensive. My city is about to spend $1.1M on a household travel survey. Household travel survey: where we ask in incredible…

I think you need a new test of success than "will it make money". The roadways that the state and local governments have built make even less of a return than any train will. For me the test would be: will it provide more benefits and use less resources? Of course the argument begins when you even start to define the…

If it quacks like a duck...

It's the heads-up part that gets me. I want to beat multiple people at once, not just one.

No xkcd credit?

Thanks for this. I didn't realize the couplers are so expensive. And makes sense about price for the niche bike.
