Anytime you care desperately about a cause or entity you branded as "yours", a certain irrationality has to go hand in hand with that. Without that emotional attachment to something that leads you to make those decisions, you wouldn't get some of the best gut decisions either. Give and take.

Ive also had an experience where my lyft driver worked for Uber also. She said the clientele is different for each company. Lyft is more hip and friendly people. Uber seemed to be richer looking and less talkative.

Living in San Diego, Ubers $10 Tijuana trips will be a huge success.

The use of these unmanned drones should be done more frequently. Not only do they protect officers from dangerous, unknown situations, but in man chases or car chases they would be much cheaper to operate than a helicopter.

@Poster and @Everyone: I just returned on July 1st from traveling through 8 different countries over a month's span, and AirBnB'd the whole trip. A fellow traveler also experienced the same tragic incident in Berlin. He came to the conclusion that he was logged in to the website via safari on an insecure network and was redirected to the fake site. Its a serious bummer but there was nothing he could do. The best and most secure way to use AirBnB is through their mobile app, not by login into their "site" on an insecure WiFi NetWork. Search through hosts and seriously read their reviews. I contacted everyone before hand and would not book unless I received a response.

@everyone: I returned from Barcelona three weeks ago. I rented a very nice apartment in the heart of the Gothic Quarter using AirBnB. As far as AirBnB being illegal, I don't think that is correct. I have many friends who have studied abroad and when they would leave Spain to go travel they would throw their apartment on AirBnB to make a couple bucks. Like with traveling anywhere, just be careful.

There shouldn't be free speech zones on any campus, public or private. Unless what people are saying is malicious, inappropriate or offensive then they should be allowed to do whatever they want.

100% agree. You need to do a good amount of research before traveling anywhere, let alone somewhere with as much of a restaurant scene as France.

The convenience and efficiency of being able to read any book instantly will be a huge boost for education as well I think more people will start reading more books due to this product.

Currently in an internship at a software company in San Diego. Like was mentioned before, having the internship itself as an occupation is not fun. That being said, you really have to put your best foot forward when doing the bitch work. It's a lot like pledging a fraternity, except the tasks you're assigned usher you into a career hopefully in a field you genuinely have interest. It's worth it, but it sucks initially.

Colbert raises a great point about the practicality of it though; why would you take the time to pour a beverage into the Vessyl just to get the same readings you could have obtained from the initial container?

What we should put on priority is city wide wireless internet capabilities. I think there are some early versions of this in some states but it would be very useful if it were more widely used.

Agreed. I work in a salary job now, and find myself not pushing to do the extra work as much, just since I know that I will be paid my salary almost regardless, and that there is close to no incentive to finish a project fast. People like independent contractors or consultants that get paid by the project do their work FAST and WELL. I've worked with many.
