People need to stop with this whole "only commercial real estate supports working from the office" nonsense. Some of us simply want our job to provide us with a space where we can work that isn't 10 feet away from where we sp

I don't understand why I'm supposed to be outraged here. As a customer, I get the experience of a cashierless store. I don't really care how that's accomplished. As an investor, I might care that I'm being sold snak

I'm 31. I was under the impression that it was mostly a big step change in your mid to late 20s and then mostly remained stable. Also if the issue here were age, I assume that GP would also pay more for an ICE car.

A large number of my larger edits are fixing up voice / tone to make an article read more like an encyclopedia and less like an excited blog post.

I love how in the US, instead of building all these services and offices near each other and walkable from people's homes, we insist on ideas that force people to drive dozens of miles to get a walkable and convenient experience.

Who's going to pay for me to upsize my apartment so I can make a home office? Working from the same desk I use for my personal computer / gaming is really taking a toll on the ol' mental health? Also who's going to pay f

I've been working at the same desk I had set up for my personal computer since quarantine started and it's mentally a disaster when the difference between personal time and work time involves zero physical movement (not to mention

It seems to me that someone with this philosophy has never tried to change or refactor a subsystem of a very complicated legacy project. Sure, sometimes your tests fail because they're poorly written and test implementation details, bu

Oo that's very good to know, thank you! I give it a 50% chance I try it out and hate it but very glad it's an option.

Since we're on the topic of the Airpods noise cancellation, does anyone know why Apple doesn't let you enable noise cancelling with only one Airpod in? Is it just that they're worried about the pressure imbalance causing disc

Interesting. I'm in a similar boat as you (5 years of professional experience) and I had decided to pass on my co-workers' reading group for this book, but based on your review I'm now reconsidering!

Thank you for taking the time to write up this long response. That's definitely a lot to think about!

I realize this isn't really the main point of the article, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently: Can someone explain to me why I should want to become good at management? I think most people on here (b

For what it's worth, we let bridges crumble, communities sit without clean drinking water, and are intentionally bankrupting our postal service in the hopes of being able to privatize it. So I would say the Internet is being treated ab

Wasn't there some website where you could pull a relatively small number of easily accessible prefs from the browser (OS, list of fonts, browser, etc.) and get a nearly uniquely identifying set of facts about someone?

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I'd rather make the active decision that I want notifications from an app than passively deciding an app is allowed to until it annoys me.

A while ago I went from default allowing new apps to do notifications and badges to default not allowing them (with fewer apps being allowed to display badges than notifications) and now looking at my home screen is a much less stressful ex
