It’s configurable by the business, and you know exactly why they do it, to subtly push people to pay more money. There’s plenty of counter service fast food restaurants where I would never even think of giving a tip if paying in cash, but w

I’m sure it’s easier to predict weather in some places versus others, but in San Francisco I find the weather forecast to be wrong more often than not. I’m often told it’s currently sunny or raining when it’s the opposite. And forget about

I think the parent took the literal answer of “no” to be a bit terse, depends on how you read that example conversation. I doubt anyone is arguing it’s actually rude to refuse to provide a phone number, just to not be snarky when doing so.

I’ve been in plenty of stupid big SUV’s with air conditioning blasting in the summer while in China. Big SUV’s are a status symbol and China summers are horrendously hot. That being said I’m much more concerned with trash burning (it still

RSS feed would be great! Even better would be to pull the paper’s content out into the content body of the feed, so I could read it directly in an RSS reader. Probably no easy task, but I can dream.

I’d also love to have more details on this. I currently use Google Fi on my phone and laptop when in China, that’s the only way I’m able to be productive. If there are limitations on this or it’s a short term solution, that will affect my f

But at least mouseover tooltips were common. It’s downright rare to see tooltips nowadays, almost never on mobile apps especially.

I used to work for an ecommerce site that sold the Numi toilet (gen 1), and it's amazing how many people shell out $8000 for a creepy automated toilet. I agree it's silly, but there is apparently a market.

I lost 50lbs a few years ago. Walking was a great gateway drug for exercise since I really hated the idea of exercise and sweating, plus I felt so awkward and out of place going to a gym. It always felt like everyone at the gym was staring

There’s so much weird stuff at CES, but I feel like it’s almost Darwinian. 90% of it is crap but sometimes the zany stuff works. I’d recommend people in the tech world attend at least once just to see the intensity of it all. It’s free if

Those are my exact feelings about PS and Docker. For working on the Windows command line, I've found CMD with Cygwin tools in path to be the best of all worlds. All the familiar Linux command line tools working in Windows, much smooth

I used to use voice commands extensively when I used Android. But in 2015 I got an iPhone and Siri is so much worse (both recognition accuracy and available functionality) that I stopped bothering. It’s a shame.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of ShareX, perhaps it handles this use case just as well. That looks like a super powerful tool, whereas my project is very focused on a specific workflow I personally hit a lot. I assume ShareX is probably a b

Sounds like San Francisco. A decent amount of new construction recently but it’s all ludicrously expensive. Also there’s some small set asides for low income folks, but not nearly enough. And anyone in the middle is especially out of luck.

And the better news is that if you don’t actually care about these silly new features you can get amazingly great TVs for next to nothing. I saw a 46 inch 4K LED smart TV at Costco for around $300. It didn’t have HDR (the current trendy hot
