My parents are in their 80s and this crap will push them to Linux.

We found no correlation between price and protection, with the highest-performing helmet being one of the less expensive, retailing at around £50.

What a scam. I'll bet the same thing happens with motorcycle helmets.

I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It's been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I'm added value.

Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won't take many of us to get to $175/mo.

We need a competitor badly.

If my ISP starts throttling my traffic, I'll just switch to one of the zero other providers in my area.

I'm on the "OK but keep an eye on it" train, here.

Devs need feedback to know how people are using the product, and opt-out tracking is the best way to do it. In this case, it seems like my personal data is completely unidentifiable.

I was coding in the IE6 era, so I'd really prefer to not end up in a browser engine monoculture again.

I've been editing OSM for years. (896,339 edits in 3,427 changesets, apparently!) For me, it's all about the free data. I once got a thank you note from someone who worked for a city with a particularly large municipal park. I'd added almost all the trails to the park and other information, and they'd used it to produce a printed map for the general public. Exactly the kind of thing I'd hoped for!

Personally, I do a lot of dualsport motorcycling and most backcountry maps around here are subpar. I map tons of trails and 2track and put them on the Garmin so I know where I'm going.

OSM is also great in lots of Europe--tons of detail.

JOSM is great.

Someone just recommended Organic Maps for the phone--it's way snappier than Google Maps, but still not great with finding addresses.

I think most billionaires have a bit of their brain set to believe in themselves rather more than is warranted. It's great for making money, but maybe not something you want to put your life on the line over.

Amen. When people talk about how Reddit or Twitter will always be bigger, I say, "Let them be bigger." What we have out here is fantastic just the way it is. In a global world, "small" is still millions of people.
