Eh, not nearly as thought-provoking as it thinks it is. The sections about the old Settings app and how making all of the icons gray was an improvement contradict the complaints made about the current versions. The old single-view Settings

There's a difference between being unaware of something and actively denying it like the responses in this poll. It's good to also have knowledge of the events you called out, but I bet more people are aware of them than you'

Your theoretical examples imply that you think the age range called out in this article headline refers to children, when it's actually 18-29 year olds. These are legal adults that responded to this poll, not kids who may not have yet

The Economist did an article about this as well and pointed out that math scores were already sliding downward in the US prior to 2019. They argued that COVID is only partly to blame for the decrease. https://www.economist.com&#x

It's a really vague ask and the article doesn't explain the specifics of what constitutes "plastic surgery filters." Are you no longer allowed to have pics with those Snapchat-esque glowing faces or big eyes? Is the dete

I think that's just being wise by broadening your horizons. You've already gotten the Army's take on this matter from your training. After a decade of both civilian and Army experience, the one thing I can say the US military

Since getting into weed, it's surprised me how little the anxiety-inducing effects of psychedelics are brought up. I tried smoking non-medicinal weed for the first time recently and was not prepared for the massive panic attack that I

In theory, the idea of distributed, or at least decentralized online communities is something I like and want to see a return to. However, I think the folks championing this stuff need to set more realistic expectations. Anyone whose spent

Seeing the original site design, which is considered "superior" by its users to the new one, makes me feel very out-of-touch with what many others consider good user experience design. I find the original design hard to use. The p

I think the more click-baitey aspect of the article title is that they didn't specify that this occurred 60–80 years ago; it's phrased as if this test recently happened. The US defense agencies today sure aren't perfect, but

Spreadsheets get a bad rap, particularly from software developers. However, even as a dev myself, I've always found them to be surprisingly powerful and a great tool for people who can bridge their gap in coding skills using formulas t

We're under the FDIC threshold in our account at the moment, so we are just riding it out expecting to get fully recouped in case of bank insolvency. We're looking into additional lines of credit for the short-term in case we&#x27

In 1,000 years humanity is going to look back on everyone alive today and think we are all backwards monsters for our conservative acceptance of the 40-hour work week, mistreatment of Earth's ecosystem, factory farming of animals, and

One of the pieces of advice I received from the founder of a startup I once worked for is that you don't give out C-level titles at a young company other than what is legally required (i.e. a CEO). The reason is that when you likely ge

If anything, this article was damning of Mastodon's outlook because it admits up front that joining an instance with a large user count has all of the same issues as Twitter with more drawbacks in the UX. As soon as Mastodon gains the

That's why the BLS provides data for broken-down categories that make up the overall CPI calculation. Groceries saw a 12.4% increase in prices from a year ago, with dairy products at 15.5%. Restaurant food is up 8.6% for the year. And

It really begs the question "what is a company?" if one can shift between such disparate markets. Surely mission doesn't define a company then. Perhaps ability to accumulate capital for a means?

I'm not saying it can't be done cheaper or more efficiently on simpler providers or even self-hosting, but you need the expertise and time to stand up the foundation of a secure platform yourself then. For example, AWS Secrets Man

This is more just "missed optimization opportunities in EC2" than a statement about mistakes in AWS as a whole. If you want to talk systemic AWS mistakes you can make, we accidentally created an infinite event loop between two Lam

I’m a moderate and I already get lumped in as a “Nazi sympathizer” by people in my work and social circles. I know people like me are next to get targeted with this shit. Folks are content to throw around big words like “treason” and “Nazi”
