My personal biggest gripe is the Gmail app on iPhone. There is no possible way to stop it from trying to force you to change your default browser to chrome every 2 weeks when you open a link.

From what I remember, the later years of English class (in Ontario) are more focused on literary criticism than effective communication. This was a frustration for me personally, and my lowest mark in High School. The high 80 dragged my ave

To be fair, Zendesk was founded in 2007. Ruby on Rails was new and hot back then.

Maybe dumb question- I've never been in a truck. Wouldn't the distance from seat to window be ~pretty much the same whether it's CoE or conventional? There's a hood in front of you for conventional, and I guess crumple z

Interesting that the method for this interface was imagining writing the word, I guess too many random thoughts would enter your writing if it was just based on mental-verbalizing (saying it in your head). It would be really cool to have a

My perspective is a manager of a product team on an app with high growth. My team has our own backend and we interface with other platform teams for specific functions in the finance space. > How do you insure you are working on the most

Unlike the sealed beam headlamps however, this law isn't requiring any particular technology. It's just outlawing a known harmful one. In some ways this is nicer because a company doesn't need to do specific emission and nois

I suppose one could argue your scary example has already occurred. I believe stripe cut off Donald Trump [1]. As a non-American, I don't really care about Trump and may be a bit ignorant here, but I find the big tech companies cutting

I'm in management. While the job description always says spend a significant amount of time coding, I tend to eschew that if I can get away with it. I'm only writing code if I need to get in the trenches or things are in a such a

It seems US Government spending is less than 20% and has been since the 1970s? [1]. Curious if I am mis-understanding you here. 2013-2018 is also roughly in line with the spending % of the Clinton presidency according to that source as well

I can't find my sources for this but I wrote a paper about it in University. The last time something like this was promised (by the previous Harper government), they made most of their progress by redefining "high speed" to b

I feel this. As someone who grew up in the 4chan hey-day, the internet I fell in love with was extremely inappropriate and anarchic. Shooting the shit about whatever inane thing 4chan was going on about were the source of hilarious and open

I'm curious, in the various responses to this comment people are really getting into this interesting concept of certain political ideologies replacing the church, and resembling a religious fanaticism in their application of these ide

I don't disagree with your underlying feeling here, that is to say I'm on your side of the fence. But don't you think it's a bit extreme to label people sociopaths, insane, evil, incompetent, for expressing their desire

It's all lies. I used to believe this line of thought about China. "We aren't expansionist like the US, we just want to do things our way inside of the country". It's not true. China as a unified country has never b

That would be cool for aftermarket HUDs. As far as making a useful HUD goes, some carmakers are already doing that. I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 and it has a HUD that is projected on to the windshield. It tells me my current speed, the current

If you are talking about the UPX, that’s not an LRT line. It’s just a regular train. But I don’t think it’s a fair comparison based on routes. On the UPX line those are 1 direct stop apart. For comparison taking the subway would also be mor

Do you mean that Germany buries their transmission lines? Or that the neighborhoods are built with buried wires?

If there's anyone I would be concerned about it's the Ontario premier, but sure go on ahead down to the US where they ostensibly don't build uninspired buildings in their cities or something.

I believe it stands for Marketing Funnel Automation. Basically sites that suck people in and point them to an affiliate link to earn a little bit. Could be wrong.

That some kind of misplaced racism here. Not sure how you think these Chinese stereotypes would have affected people's enjoyment of sliding seats? More likely the sliding seats just weren't very good.

That's actually a very normal technique and one of the reasons professionally cooked food tastes so much better than most home cooked food. Frequent salting at different points of cooking improves the overall flavour of the dish, and s

Great! I hope they can put some of these resources towards implementing non-latin-alphabet based languages. I've been waiting for Mandarin for 5 years!

Here in Canada gift cards do not expire (IIRC there is a law against it). Is this not the case elsewhere? I know myself and many other people prefer gift cards because it forces you to buy something for yourself instead of just adding it to
