Nothing against you, but why are link shorteners still allowed on HN? I feel like they are an easy attack vector for malware, and don't make life any easier for us as readers - in fact, they make it significantly harder because I have no idea what I'm clicking.
My coworkers and I were talking about additional ways to mess with people with cloning RFID chips. I think my favorite is cloning your access badge to work onto another RFID and putting it under a bandaid on your palm. Then, you can convince everyone that the RFID readers are actually fingerprint readers too.
I've always thought that something like this would be very effective for renting "space" rather than it necessarily being a full bedroom. The company could let the apartment/house owner rent fold-able cots or something to utilize, say, a living room as a sleeping space. There would be basic check boxes like access to a shower, a kitchen, etc., but it is more of a free-form lodging rather than renting a room.
Although I'm extremely skeptical of the claims, there are theories that TKAMB was actually written by Capote. Interesting to read the evidence, but definitely on the less probable side of things.
At least for doctors, I would think that the average annual income is somewhere around $300,000-400,000 (and that may be too high). This group would, all-in, be taxed somewhere between 50-60% including medicare, Social Security, etc., no where near the 73% imposed on any dollar made past $10,000,000. There may be a handful of doctors in the world pushing the $10,000,000 barrier. I assume that the landscape is similar for lawyers and managers, and that people tend to focus on those making huge money to generalize the whole field.
holy cow...just went looking for the origins of "yinz" and found out about "western pennsylvania english." My wife does the "needs/likes/wants + past participle" thing listed in the wikipedia article[1], and I never knew it was commonplace in some parts of the U.S.
