Using the same code analogy as the parent, this is like code with unnecessary extra commenting. Seems okay to me.

Even with your understated numbers, with everything being as worse as possible, you ended up with a pretty decent wage for 5 evenings of work. In reality, half of the US population lives in a state with a regular minimum wage for waiters (C

Can we try to figure out sociologically, why by default unmoderated social forums become far-right oriented? Is it because: - People on the far-right are magnitudes more vocal and active online than those on the left? That they spend a magn

Oh yeah but I was talking about motivating the developers. I think it might be challenging to hire people who just work on porting.

It might also be an issue with motivation. Would you want to work on something that's basically a clone, so there's no creativity but purely porting + solving annoying platform-related bugs? You'd probably tolerate it for a b

This solution is on the user side, which is great because each person can get and manage saved pages for themselves. But if we're looking for a developer side solution, then making pages that last an order of magnitude longer may be be

With today's remote work and overuse of the internet, WebRTC is really critical. Same with WebP -- the bandwidth savings there could be immense in a time when we're using more internet than ever. I'm disappointed in Apple&#x2

I think we also need to be open minded that maybe 'remote work for everyone' is actually less effective. And it will be hard to show evidence otherwise -- this current test case we're going through -- I doubt people are going

You might not using it that much I'm guessing. It's meant for power users like teachers, academics, government agencies, people who are doing video conference more than once every day and just need to get things done reliably. Eve

It seems like content moderation is just a crazy wicked problem. And the company is doing the best it can with a lot of constraints. Better communication with the workers sounds like it would help, but what else should they be doing realist

No offense to you personally, but I find the opinions you expressed to be naive and self-centered. The open source software you're releasing (scratch-an-itch software) is much different from open source software that we all use, which

I'm not sure what devices you have now, but I've moved completely to usb-c and love it. I threw out all my other cables, and have usb-c charging on every floor of my house and car. I have my macbook pro and Pixel 3 as my main devi

If you remove the editorializing, I don't see a bit of difference between "moviepass says you can see all the films (but if everyone did they would go broke, and they did go broke, leading to loss of service for everyone)" an

I don't subscribe to your view at all, but I think this is an interesting discussion. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that users/customers should be trying to guess what the intention of the company is, and doing

I'm equally astonished how people can use so much data :) Like one of the other posters said, I don't stream on phone, and use the wifi at home and at work. I'd love to see the breakdown of data usage (reported by the phones)

I'm not sure how other people use so much data (besides video). I use whatever I want, and rarely go above 500MB ($5). I made sure to do the offline Google Maps (which I want anyways), and avoid streaming video on phone.

Only two things I noticed when comparing on their website. 1) lock in contracts, and 2) they piggyback off the T-Mobile network while Google Fi dynamically uses the best of 3 networks. Otherwise seems like a pretty frugal option.

by holidaygoose 8y ago
I'm perplexed. I can see hating them for other reasons, but expensive would not be the word I associate with Google Fi. I pay $22 including taxes/fees per month, but it's probably not a good carrier for people who watch a lot

I'm not so familiar with the Switch, but this thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6jnkl4/list... seems to indicate that using other USB-C chargers is okay?

I've heard a lot about fragmentation, but just anecdotally it doesn't seem to be an issue in practice. My family has USB-C headphones, phones, laptops, remotes, and then USB-C charging cables around the house. Everything can be ch

I see. So then this Repair Cafe is basically a branding/marketing tool, so that you can some traffic via people who see their website.

I don't understand how this works, so maybe someone can enlighten me. You pay 50 euro in exchange for some banners/logos to start a repair cafe, but they don't help you repair? I would have thought the starter kit would have

Any idea why? The previous CEO apparently started only about 2 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_B._Schnabel And what does the ACM do that's different from the ACM President's role?
