Not in American college football, but in German pro soccer, someone shorted the stock of a team and subsequently tried to blow up the team with multiple bombs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borussia_Dortmund_team_bus_

I can't recommend spaced repetition enough. I use it for everything: Phone numbers, names, business knowledge, dungeon and dragons, ... A different article[1] sums it up pretty well: "Anki makes memory a choice, rather than a haph

Reduced speed with degraded battery doesn't only happen for phones unfortunately. My Lenovo laptop is painfully slow when unplugged. I thought something is broken, but Lenovo told me it's because the battery is degraded. The conse

I once built such a trial option myself. You could start a free trial (just within the app, no "native trial" involved) and then sign up for the paid plan with native in-app purchases once it ran out. It got rejected by Apple. The

Actually, some people do. There are tools like EuroBillTracker ( https://en.eurobilltracker.com/ ) where you can enter the serial number of bills that you received and can watch them travel around the world. If someone else t

Is there any reason to believe that this actually happened? Conveniently, it was published on April 1st. The story itself would be a great April Fools' prank. :)

I wouldn't be much surprised. The amount of things people do _not_ notice is staggering. When I do usability tests there's almost always something that doesn't get noticed although I thought it obvious and/or important.

Was able to log in... what a great nostalgia flash! :) Sad to see how many links are broken now... ... and some, like postsecret.com, are surprisingly still live and active 15 years later.

To extend on your analogy a bit: Imagine working on that term paper on GitHub and then having your repo deleted. The odds of reproducing that information completely is zero. But there might still be some forks (related species) around. So i

Sounds reasonable - but I'd still prefer to stay away from people who are shedding the virus. There is also a similar theory that cloth masks might have the unintended positive side effect of building immunity. They are not perfect, so

Hey everyone, I’m happy to show this project to you after years of mostly lurking. :) Too many people are walking through life, working on never-ending task lists, losing sight of the big picture and missing what’s really important to them.

My thoughts exactly. Location Sharing in Google Maps is a totally different use case. Commercially it was probably a tough sell. Engagement metrics were probably abysmal - since you only need it in exceptional circumstances. It's reall

I believe this is one of those things that are really hard to understand unless you have experienced it first hand. Although I always knew how important prioritization is, I understand it way better since working on my resource-constrained
