It really is astonishing. I remember using Skype around 2004/05 on a horribly crappy Dell laptop and it (Skype) worked flawlessly. It sort of boggles the mind how far in to the ground it has been driven.

Most companies I have worked for/heard about have the option of 1) using a company card with the company keeping the perks, 2) using your own card and getting reimbursed or, less often, 3) using a company card that is in our name, paid

everyone should donate! as someone mentioned on a previous post, they are giving away some cool swag as part of their Summer Security Camp right now if you donate (including a sweatshirt, with a $25 recurring monthly donation). EFF really d

It was too late to edit, but I was totally wrong about the price: a digital + print subscription is merely $19.00/yr. I have no idea how that is sustainable, but I am in. https://ngmdomsubs.nationalgeographic.com/servle

After seeing this I am committed to re-subscribing to National Geographic when I get home. It is pricey, but I would hate to see this publication go out of print. It has inspired so many people for decades. Sure, it could be replaced, but i

I think a lot of people are in that boat. I would have happily paid good money for a NES Classic from Nintendo (I hate supporting scalpers) but I am not going to hassle with running all over town or constantly refreshing webpages to see if

That was my thought. I wonder what the backgrounds are of Russian teachers/professors of mathematics? I do not know oodles of math teachers, but all of my teachers as a kid, and friends who teach math now, received a four year degree o

Having had a mother that took a very hands-off approach to guiding me towards a career, I highly recommend giving as much guidance as you can as early as possible. Describe how difficult something like medical school is, but how you can eas

Jimmy Chin* was the primary contracted photographer (through NatGeo, I think). He has been involved in numerous amazing projects as both a photographer and an athlete: he (Mr Chin) was one of the 3 climbers in Meru, which is also an amazing

I have not explored what Gandi offers, but I can tell you Fastmail has a very user-friendly & intuitive interface for email, calendar, contact management, etc... a la Gmail many years ago. If not better. The $30/year includes all

It took a lot of time, honestly. But I really wanted to extract myself from Google and cleanup my email, so I did everything manually, sending emails to friends and family from the new account, getting rid of any old emails I absolutely did

I try and get everyone I know to use (and pay for) Fastmail. It has a great interface. Great calendar. Awesome spam filter. Etc... It costs $30/year to send messages around the globe. That seems like a steal to me. Ultimately, email cl

I really do not think this is true. It may vary geographically, but I can say unequivocally that everyone I know in my city (Portland, Oregon) is aware of and annoyed by the apparent sexist culture and shady law-evading that has become asso

I can't imagine high school without a part-time job during the school year and full-time hours in the summer. I mean, I did AP and Honors courses, plus soccer in the Fall and Winter and Track in the Spring, and worked at Dairy Queen ye

For whatever reason I had the opposite take: after just skimming the article I could quickly identify the icons' corresponding nutritional "unit" on the very bottom chart. I can't say I personally like the aesthetics of

It does, as I understand it. I personally use Safari on my Mac, as I prefer the interface (with ghostery, and whatever uBlock is on that platform these days) but... I honestly LIKE paying for things I use. I feel more comfortable with payin

I am hoping there is a market for such a browser. I, for one, would much rather pay for a browser that looks out for my (privacy) interests than use a free browser that does not. But I fall in the boat of people who would also rather pay fo

I think so. In my field, law, a good number of my friends* (including myself) are actively looking for jobs abroad. And applying for said jobs. I cannot speak for everyone I know, but the regressive/repressive nature of this administra

This article reminded me of a hiking skill I never mastered - the Rocky Mountain Rest Step (the name I learned it by, but I have heard others). It's pretty simple - when hiking on steep slopes, especially with weight (a heavy pack), yo

I would just say the metric of "changing the world" the author is using is simply a bad metric. As you say, almost no one changes the world. The interesting part, to me, is that Valedictorians end up doing pretty darn well: "

But what's the advantage of Facebook over email and/or texting? I feel like for anything other than wasting time Facebook is sluggish compared to either. If you're a Facebook user you have a cellphone and/or a computer,

Coupled with this, I found that eating the same stuff helps a lot to maintain a calorie deficit. The first time I ate at a calorie deficit (it was for 3 months, randomly), I ate the same damn thing every day - a cup of cereal with a cup of

It's not really a lifetime warranty though. If you click through to the Tesla purchasing page, there is (only) a 30 years Power Warranty and Weatherization Warranty... which in my mind renders calling it a lifetime warranty sort of sil

accounting for inflation, the buying power of $40k in 1980 is the equivalent of $118k today... enough to buy a house, a vacation house, a boat, and multiple vacations year in most regions. Maybe the percentage of the population making this

Slight tangent: I have seen a lot of mention of Zen, but not many people bring up the follow-up book, Lila. I found the second to be a more accessible and applicable-to-every-day-life sort of book, and more maturely written. I enjoyed Zen m

Adding to that, if you like card tricks (magic?) you should check out the movie Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants. It's on Youtube, and is one of the most mind-blowing bits of slight-of-hand I have ever seen. It helps that Ricky Jay is a

I have a daily 4km bike ride to/from work and my solution was to buy a 22kg beach cruiser with wide tires that makes for a great workout - if I were to ride my dedicated road bike the ride would be no workout at all. I find when I bike

I wouldn't say it is gender discrimination (today) so much as acknowledging the undeniable difference in physical capabilities of the sexes. The fastest female marathoners do not even remotely compete with the top men - top men run jus
