Comment Ironic misuse of "with" (Score 1) 173

It's quite ironic that in a story that discusses how the word "with" can imply many different things with different meanings that the summary contained a sentence that should have used the word "with" but didn't:

That's from "S'MORES. A Real-Life One-Act Play", a conversation between Hamilton impresario Lin-Manuel Miranda which his young son Sebastian

Surely the word "with" should have been used instead of "which" in that sentence.

Comment Analysts are so smart! (Score 1) 143

Good thing ebay listened to all those genius analysts back in 2015 when they told them to spin off paypal for $50B. If they hadn't listened, and kept hold of paypal instead they'd be able to spin it off today for $100B. Who would ever have wanted to double the value of something you're holding over a 3 year timespan? /sarcasm

Comment Re:Game developer friend just left Amazon (Score 2) 44

You're really comparing apples and oranges. The overwhelming majority of the jobs that the article talks about amazon creating are low level warehouse jobs. Their volume has gown by leaps and bounds over the past few years and they need more folks to pack and ship those boxes.

Comment Looking for an "app" is the problem (Score 1) 163

If you simply go to google and search for "cheapest parking", the first result is bestparking.com.

Don't limit yourself by searching for "apps". The world existed before "apps" came along. Good old fashioned websites that you find with a google search are just as viable now as they were years ago.

Comment Doesn't actually allow comparing plans (Score 1) 499

The website looks nice, but it doesn't actually allow you to compare the different plans to each other. All it shows is the name of the plans that are available. To get any details regarding deductible/copay/out of pocket max you have to call the plan provider directly. I'm not sure how useful that really is.

Comment Steve Job's mobile platform strategy (Score 1) 483

I think it is hyperbole to say that "Steve Jobs is betting his mobile platform on the demise of Flash". Steve may not like Flash, but if Flash continues to exist it does not spell death for the iPhone/iPad. Those iDevices will continue to exist perfectly fine on their own regardless of whether Flash exists or not.

Comment Re:Try it out (Score 3, Informative) 72

It's significantly better than "really quite good". It is EXCELLENT. It's very quick, and the searches it executes can be VERY customizable. Let's say you wanted to fly from NYC to LAX, only on United, with exactly 1 stop, and that stop MUST be in Chicago. ITA can perform that exact search for you. It's really quite amazing how well it works.
