One thing that scares me is that this amount of plastic consumption is only increasing as we dump more and more plastic. I’m not sure when it will reach that point that it’s clearly too much even if the amount we consume isn’t harmful for n

He probably could have been equally as effective by saying "hey, let's make this icon more generic so it's more inclusive" and ended it at that. I don't think he is wrong in his request, but the necessity people fee

This data is based on less than 6 months of distribution in Ontario and doesn’t give us an idea of what it’s been like since last March. I’ll be more curious to hear about a full fiscal year before saying much else.

The amount of downvoting on opinions you disagree with in this thread is disappointing. It’s funny that the discussion is about listening to others we disagree with, but simultaneously valid ideas/comments are being grayed out and push

If nothing else, please ask your customers why they are leaving/cancelling. It makes me feel like a company doesn’t care and won’t get better if they don’t ask leaving customers why.

Yes, I've tried Impossible too at a couple of places and am a fan. My favorite was Umami Burger's Korean-style toppings.

Semi-related, but the Beyond Meat burger at Canadian fast-food chain A&W has been a big hit too, it seems. I got one at a mall recently and was amazed that everyone in line at the time was there to try the beyond meat burger. There’s a

I understand maybe 30% of 3blue1brown’s videos, mostly due to his excellent visualizations, but he really gets me excited for math in a way I’ve not experienced before. How does he make such awesome visualizations? Does anyone know what too

I used to work at a company that called these customers ‘zombies’ because you were afraid that any next marketing communication would ‘awaken the dead’ and trigger an unsubscribe. They’d even go as far as to not send marketing emails to ‘zo

Seriously. I worked in research for a while and we would weight data to fit demographics but there were limits to how much weighting you could apply before the data sample was considered insufficient. I really wonder how much this algorithm

The question really isn’t about whether serverless runs on servers or not. It’s about whether the workflow still feels like dealing with your own servers or not. In some ways, yes it still feels like that and in other ways, such as scaling

You’re right but should it come down to a lawsuit your butt is covered. You’re probably never going to go after someone unless they reach financial success with it anyway. Also, what about disincentivizing anyone who might know how to explo

How might this apply to content on a personal website? What I'm gathering from the article/discussion is that a Copyright message in my footer may not be enough to copyright all my works. Therefore, I should generate a small copyr

I imagine that the longer you’ve been coding in the real world, the harder it is to justify doing all this studying for interviews to get a similar job, especially if you aren’t motivated by money alone. Recently interviewed with one of the

Yeah I had the same issue. If my device locale is English the voice reads it like an apathetic 10th grader who refuses to try the accentuate properly while read French aloud in class. On the bright side it was a trip down memory lane to hig

Do devs really hate agile? I’ve really enjoyed it in workplaces despite it not always being perfect. I’ve never felt micro managed either, just regularly managed. I understand that maybe some want more free will to pursue problems the way t

Thanks. Trump is certainly a symptom of something that existed before he took the stage. I don't think that absolves him but the problem isn't going to go away just be putting him out of sight and out of mind. (p.s. the Thanks is

I wish I had the definitive answer but in my books that line has been crossed in this context. I don’t think it’s as gray as we might want to pretend it is right now. The state of discourse online seems like some level of indicator somethin

Hopefully we can be more reasonable than that, but you’re right that’s it’s totally subjective.

Fair enough but personally I don’t care how many feathers are in your cap if you promote hatred the way Trump does. that’s just me though. Also I’m canadian :)

I’m surprised by some of the response; I actually think they were pretty articulate about exactly what they were banning and it certainly wasn’t all political speech. Trump stands for so much hatred and bigotry and it’s hard to vocalize sup

Just released this today and looking forward to making it even better with feedback. I wanted to make something a little bit more productivity oriented than most AR apps and was inspired by some of the latest developments in ARKit2 i.e. wor

The only thing that the iPhone 6 can't do which I know of is ARKit, which seems to be one of the most hardware intensive things phones are capable.

I agree that appears to be the way they are going. If they are working to extend the life of devices even further in coming years that seems to support this direction.

I wonder if they could make a whole new company/brand that’s competes at the low end. If it ran iOS though, would that be enough to cannibalize too many iPhone users than would be acceptable? Wondering if they could accomplish the same
