About 10 years ago I found an office a mile from my house for $250/mo and I haven't looked back. I could not work from home with kids.

Ask HN: Anyone Using the Fxtec Phone?

I have never gotten over the old android radioactive phone ( with the pop out keyboard, can't remember the name of it) and this fxtec phone looks really fun. Just wondering if anyone has it and has any advice on whether to buy one. Thanks for any info.

Texas, you'll recall, has creationism in science textbooks. Techs affair with Texas will be short lived as i don't think tech people are going to want their kids taught Texas science.

I was excited then annoyed. I hate the SO moderators. It makes no difference to them how many people seek the answer, if they deem it off topic all those people are out of luck.

The post and fox news are absolutely light weight versions of the national enquirer. Regardless, Twitter can do what Twitter likes. You can start your own Twitter if you like. Twitters rights are as precious as fox news's.

My huawei matebook x pro has just lost its USB for the second time. The first one was replaced under warranty. Since half the screws have fallen out of the back and since I only got 2 good years out of it, huawei is off the table. Can anyone recommend a super thin powerful laptop for dev work? I actually loved the huawei with Ubuntu but the manufacturing quality was so poor I just can't go back. Was thinking of going back to Macbook air but I'd like to plug in to 3 vga monitors at the office. Thanks for any recommendations.

This is so self elevating it makes me sick. Buy the car or don't but don't use it as an excuse to show how great you are

I totally agree. Consenting buyer and seller, this is a leftover from the Mayflower (no dancing kind of thing). At some point the world should just stop wasting money on preventing things that humans want. Prostitution, pot, etc., will never be stopped because people want to buy and sell it.
