They make sense within a pretty narrow use case: You have a largish room with hard floor, which is usually kept uncluttered. You don't have pets. We use it for a large kitchen and it's okay. Run it before leaving the house and the

I know people here aren't big on religion, but just as a perspective (no worse than Jeff Bezos I guess): In Islam there is a certain prayer you are supposed to say before making a big decision. You ask God's guidance for it, that

Maybe it's simply that companies aim for a certain aesthetic, and letting people bring random chairs in would go against it.

The Quora answers (your [2] and [3]) are biased and full of factual errors and misrepresentations, of course without references to sources. Stick with Wikipedia.

I quit smoking 25 years ago and still miss it. But no regrets, with the horrible smell from breath, clothes and hair, ruined furniture, not to mention adverse health effects, I would still rather go without it.

The article does read mostly like sour grapes. "T-T... They're never gonna get that money anyway!" Some examples are plain false (calling "thin" volume when several exchanges see a billion dollars a day). If the poi

Portfolio is the only thing I wanted. Lots of other sites offer stock charts and news. :( The previous portfolio did suck bad, but they could easily have improved it. Major missed opportunity.

A bubble in slow motion, someone called the present economic environment. I think it's an apt description. Extreme "quantitative easing" (I refuse to take fed speak seriously) has only taken effect very, very slowly. Why? Bec

I read Time around the turn of the millenium (got it as part of some promotion for college students). It definitely had that geriatric feel. '60 Minutes' on print is pretty much how I felt about it.

I feel like relying on a big splash release is an intuitive, obvious, and wrong approach. It's like a kind of waterfall methodology, where we should be doing iterative: Release something early to a limited audience, gauge reactions, fi

That is how you should always interpret the "how are you?" question. Don't just say "I'm fine" - talk about what you did today, what you're going to do tonight, or tomorrow, or in the weekend. That's

No remote working solution comes close to in-person collaboration, in my opinion. I can explain someone something in probably less than half the time in person than over some electronic link-up. I'm not sure what it is (lack of body la
