Completely comfortable with it. I'd rather have cheap oil subsidize as much technological advancement as possible while we figure out how to replace it with an equal or better solution. If we cant, we'll pay more and use less. I don't think my 7 year old is gonna be living in a mad max scenario.
CO2 argument aside, just because oil makes such a large portion of energy doesn't mean we are dependent on it to that degree.
It's simply the most economic way to currently fill that energy need. If oil runs out, which may be way further into the future than anyone realizes, then it will no longer be the most economic option and thus replaced by the next in line.
Mass die off? bare subsistence? What kind of comic books are you reading that in?
also makes me kind of wonder if there is any benefit of only knowing one language
The answer OP poised was that Wikipedia and Open Source require text based interactions with others in the community - beyond the actual exercise of writing wikipedia pages and writing code. Thats the difference here, not that women don't like reading or writing.
Because those are solitary endeavors, not "interactions"
even easier method, ask your next Uber driver what your rating is.
I never thought I'd read Netflix and TiVo in the same sentence again.
I'd say generally favorable and he's certainly done a lot, but a lot of people have grown to resent his tendency to force his own agenda regardless of public opinion, e.g. his crusade against soda, his third term, etc.
you clearly haven't used firebase
I did the same thing last year, falling asleep was a lot harder. Its like a circus up there in the brain.

I've never been a fan of photo stream. Funny how there always seems to be room for another photo sharing app
there are two types of people in this world, those who can tolerate the red badges on their apps and those who cant
that link appends four #### to the URL which seems like it causes it to break.
Also after looking at your landing page I have no clue what the service does. You say "Ride, Rent, and experience a new way to travel." This doesn't tell me much, other than it does something cool, why not just tell me the #1 benefit to using this service?
And I was having such a great day until I read this. R.I.P. Parse
combo of a lot of things, yelp's UI always seems 2 years old, feels bloated, and generally takes me longer to do anything. I use yelp on the web, foursquare on the go.
i've been a long time foursquare hater, I never understood why anyone would want to "check-in". That being said I have used their explore feature for restaurants in NYC for about a year, and find it vastly superior to yelp.
Why? Tips.
When i look up a place on foursquare I immediately know "what to order" at a given place, I often will look up a place at foursquare while I am sitting there deciding what to order. The question will be how can they sustain the same level of content generation if their main hook is fading.
I like it. Better than a prezi or a ppt.
