Good now that we've all agreed bike enthusiasts are insufferable, pretentious assholes who will immediately cling to something about fitness as their primary (and only) defense mechanism when called out as such. Let's get back to something important that needs hacking: sleep.

Lunasleep.com

Time to disrupt the gently caress out of the mattress industry. Eat your heart out, sleep number!

A mattress is actually probably the best thing you could use to track sleep patterns.

It's a little baffling that there are actual people like this, it reads like it should have come from The Onion or something.

This kind of poo poo is doubly hilarious to me for several reasons. I know some of these people personally as they graduated from my high school and we were all in the nerd clique. I went on to become a journalist and helped make a positive impact in a community dealing with gentrification (a story I wrote about a middle school actually got administrators reassigned and increased the district's focus on anti-violence) while they get to fellate their egos by producing apps that do jack poo poo. But they are more valued in society because of great marketing and PR.

The Shyp lady really believed that they were changing the world of shipping. Not just believed but sounded legitimately exited to work for them and be a part of the revolution

And is I were a millionaire I would come to work wearing shorts made out of crocs and I wouldn't give a poo poo

I'd shake things up and show up naked every once in a while and look every single person in the eye and dare them to say something

If you don't believe in Space X's approach or funding methods, you're opposed to GPS, the internet, and science. Got it.

that post is extra lol considering GPS, the internet, and any "science missions" worth a drat thus far were developed by the public sector.

Mars One: 'We're all going to die, but it's important what you do before you die'

It seems awfully confident of them to assume they'll even live to make it to Mars.

its crazy how many supposedly high tech companies have data leaks. I used to work for a company that notified people they had their info breached. Kaiser permanente the bay area hospital had a huge leak and so did cisco.friggin cisco. all of your personal info is out there unprotected on some companies servers that you did business with years ago. it happens monthly.

When Sony had that huge leak a couple of years ago, didn't it come out that their info was stored in plain text?

obviously i meant investment as in spending a lot of money on something that is meant to last you for a while not as in something that is going to make you money... sorry.

anyway, yeah i hear the same. but what if they start having mechanical problems? are you SOL? have to take it to the dealership or are there actually independent mechanics who work on them?

also, what if you don't have a garage? what do you do with the charging equipment if you, say, live in an apartment complex?

If you live in an apartment complex, you probably can't afford a Tesla.
