Ahh, that's why it's $4. I kept waiting for the low price to expire.

I do a search for canceling that business, before I sign up. If I see a bunch of horror stories, then it's time to walk away.

How did the car not even apply the brakes? How could it fail that bad?

This may be the most civil discussion I've ever seen on the web. Spread out over 11 years! Amazing. I love HN.

Expedia? The #1 Dark Patterns? Wow, this should end well.

I think weight limits would be a good start. Do we really need 400 pound linemen?

I also think game play would improve with lighter, faster players.

Not if I have to allow untested 3rd party Javascript / malware onto my system. No thank you.

What if you are just a passenger in the car? How will they determine this?

Also, 30 for 30 was another Bill Simmons idea...and he's gone.

30 for 30 is by far the best ESPN original content in the past 10 years.

I don't get it. Why shouldn't Yahoo pay the taxes? They invested in Alibaba, and have made HUGE gains, and if they want to realize those gains, they need to pay the taxes.

New comment by georgeott in "Git Cheat Sheet"

georgeott — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 01:15:00 +0000

Here is my daily git workflow:

1 - Clone the repo (only need do this once)

2 - git checkout branchname

3 - Make some file changes

4 - git add filenames

5 - git commit

6 - git pull (make sure you are up to date BEFORE you push to remote repo)

7 - Build and TEST

8 - git push

That's 90% of what I do.

Merging branches is simple.

1 - git checkout destinationBranch

2 - git pull

3 - git merge sourceBranch

4 - build and test

5 - git push

Cheers!

I hope they fixed the damn broken power button issue that my 16 month old Nexus 5 died from. Damn that phone broke my heart.

How do we change this? It's so ingrained in American culture, I'm not sure we can.
