I completely disagree. It isn't a complex issue and companies don't get to decide whether to "allow" politics or not. Politics are a part of EVERYTHING... Ignoring and trying to moderate that is just foolish.

I'm also profoundly deaf, using two BTE hearing aids as well and your comment is 100% what I'm frustrated with as well. My hearing aids are CONSTANTLY "adjusting" noisy environments for me - Usually exactly when I don&#x

This. I was thrilled when Google announced Louisville would be getting service. Louisville is a relatively tiny city in comparison, and not long after the announcement both AT&T and Time Warner/Spectrum lowered prices AND raised sp

I disagree in a way... If my cost of living and all other expenses don't change, and I just switch jobs and instantly got a 20% salary increase... Whether I'm making a $30k salary or a $200k salary, that's a lot of extra mone

UWP was broadly criticized because of how it operated. Every notification I got from UWP was something along the lines of "In order to rename this file, _____ program needs access to LITERALLY EVERY FILE AND PERMISSION AVAILABLE ON YOU

Go to a local Walmart/Target/Lowes etc. Hardware stores and even some supermarkets have them. If not, literally just post a photo on facebook asking friends for some or ask around at work. It's extremely common because you re

Try describing the process, that's usually what I look for at least when I'm looking at products/services/apps (I'm a designer). Briefly walk through how you can create a folder, throw files in, forward a domain&#x2

It's exactly this mindset that creates such a huge plastic problem. You aren't wrong, and you shouldn't feel guilty either. People in charge of deciding packaging should be taking their end customer's ideas and habits in

I think what he's getting at is more along the lines of people losing weight and being healthier on any form of diet because before going on any diet, some people are drinking soda by the gallon and eating whatever the body wants, when

I think what gets a lot of people too, in addition to this math, is that they think "Oh, 6 pints or less per week is safe? I'll have them all on Saturday then." There really need to be a very clear outline on how much is safe

It's unfortunate that so many recruiters have this mindset. Instead of judging based on the time spent at places, ask why they're bored and what they would enjoy working on. If that lines up with your opening, then great. If not,

The "benefit" portion of that statement is that the employers typically take on a portion of that cost so it's reduced for the employee. Have you ever filed taxes as a freelancer? You nearly pay double because you're bot

Rental cars are hit or miss. You either end up with the one that didn't get much use outside the average business trip... Or the car that was abused. My last car was an ex-rental car, and it deteriorated very quickly after I signed the

On your second point, I'm assuming those savings should be invested, correct? Enough to earn at minimum a 4% ROI?

How would one even go back and delete as much of their information as possible from services like Google, Facebook, etc? It's a scary future to imagine, and I think a big reason many people are apathetic about it is due to the complexi

Note that those are the best day/time they've found to post. Everyone's audiences are different, even within the same industry. Start with the average and tweak it to be optimized with your specific use case.

It's a great process to have too. Hire personalities that fit and work well with teams, and train them to be the ideal candidate instead.

Exactly this. I was just in the situation to look for a new apartment, and one big reason I chose my current place is because it had a "virtual tour" that allowed walking around in 3D. If that were in VR, even better.

For those of us unfamiliar with the practice, how exactly do you phrase a counter to include severance?

The font size slider is incredibly annoying. There should at least be a field to manually input a size as well. Having fonts jump from 8px - 22px with no space between is useless.

Traveling the DC metro from baltimore literally cost me like $2 one way. It would otherwise be a 50 mile drive. So I could either spend roughly $5 on the metro, or $20 in gas (plus a long ass commute and gridlock wait time). For what you ge

Just out of curiosity, I checked Virgin's prices in the UK. In my area (Kentucky, US) my ISP options are AT&T DSL and Comcast cable internet. I'm paying for the cheapest internet plan offered by comcast $45 for 25Mb down. The
