And yet subreddits like 'coonville' and 'GreatApes' still exist and continue shitting all over reddit. I know it makes my (black) wife feel welcomed when subreddits she frequents are slammed with the most virulent hate s

The resistance really just boils down to 'we can't track our customers any more'. Big chains' POS systems almost all have contactless readers built in (but disabled). To me this is a feature-I don't particularly wan

Nope. The Unix underpinnings of OS X are way too valuable for me. Powershell is (imho) a verbose mess and is the current best attempt at making a working scripting language for Windows. I use Powershell all the time but its..inelegant. Give

This site is great! My wife and I were just discussing how we needed to get a living will/will written down so our wishes are clearly understood in the case of an emergency.

Its awful, but not necessarily done out of cruelty or avarice. I know many parents of autistic kids, and so many of them are just so terribly desperate for any sign of improvement in their child that they're easily led by charlatans. T

The Internet is not blind friendly. It sucks, and we need to do better, but for now, blind people are mostly locked out of the Internet. OS X has some really nice screen reading/accessibility stuff builtin and you can have it do things

My personal favorite poorly designed part of the body is the sinus cavity. When we used to walk on four limbs, our heads would naturally incline to an angle that allows full drainage of the sinus cavity. Now that we walk upright, there&#x27

Ok, we all understand it sucks. Whats the fix? You think Unicode is racist and terrible. Its stupidly difficult to work with for sure, but racist is a stretch. What do you propose? More complexity layered on a system that people don't

This is news to no one. Every datacenter I've ever done business with offered 'internal transfer' for free and used basically identical verbiage to explain it.

You make shine with things like potatoes instead of fruit. You're very much not going to want to drink 'wine' made out of potatoes or beets-but if you take that same 'wine' and distill it, you end up with something

This is a large open space with small 'break spaces' (soft carpet covered cubicle walls left scattered around) that break up sound/spaces between different groups. They have the soft drop ceiling tiles to help absorb sound. T

The best office setup I've ever worked in was a narrow building that had smallish offices (big enough for two people) on the outside (each had a small window) and open meeting space in the middle. Everyone had their own space (like to

Yup. When it becomes clear that it's not helping anyone actually get work done, companies just stick to their guns and refuse to change. Which helps illustrate that point that its never been about increased productivity and collaborati

Yup. Its impossible to really focus in an open-office work area. I have to meet with another team occasionally that's management bought into the open-office hypetrain. Its awful. The noise is overwhelming, there's constant distrac

That's an impressive number of device activations. I wish they would have included iOS versions from their curated apps (I know all the new device's will have iOS 8, but for the non-new activation pool, it would be interesting to

That sucks-I regularly make a 45 mile trip into a contracting job and I can be there in ~40 minutes (its +10 minutes at rush hour time). This is into a major metropolitan area in the US. And I do it in my own car-comfortable, quiet, and I l

I believe the prediction is made based on the estimated size of the copy and it doesn't take into account the number of items to be copied. As any seasoned computer user will tell you, a large number of small files takes longer to copy
