Edit: I'm going to leave the below message but wanted to acknowledge that OP meant that the message could be more authentic. I misread. How is this authentic? I was reading through and thinking how it's mincing words and making it

The only reason they did that is to sell more AirPods. And it worked. They’re making billions by selling high margin wireless earphones.

Kids are naturally inclined to learn new things. They naturally want to explore. If you aid them in this exploration of the world, it’s not forcing education on them. My kids want to read labels and things in stores, malls and restaurants.

Anyone using this and care to provide an honest review? We’re evaluating chucking a paid alternative due to the price (small startup).

Yeah this person has made a “career limiting move”. Actually it’s been multiple moves but yeah. This goes against Microsoft’s community engagement policies. I hope Leonard reflects on his actions and makes better choices in the future.

If you got a kick out of that, it gets better! There’s a publication called “Date Panchang” that gets a new version for every new Hindu year. The first few pages talk about time and how Brahma experiences time. If you can read sanskrit/

I was this way. Then I realized it’s a work culture thing. Is the team culture accepting of each other the way they look and the surroundings they are in? I’ve been part of 2 teams since the start of the pandemic and I’ve experienced both s

This is what I tell people who are surprised that you don’t see many umbrellas in seattle. Hoodies yes. Flip your hood up and go on with your day. The past couple of months though might be a bit different. The storm water area near me is ov

I work on Video conferencing apps as a PM. There’s a very simple reason this is done - to detect if the user is speaking while muted and if so to let them know. That’s it. At least for the one I’m building. :D

If you don’t buy ads in your brand name your competitor might and May encourage users to try them instead. Even if you lose 5% each time, that can build up. Companies do this all the time. Even for something like App Store submissions. Peop

My work gave me this. I have a 2019 16” i9 MacBook that crashes in every other unplug plug of this dock. Here’s the most amazing issue with this dock yet: it somehow resets my router through the ethernet port I’m using to connect to the rou

I think you missed the point. They said circumstances can make it such that you can get scammed so let’s not blame the victim.

This is why PM 101 is should this problem be solved and why. This could be avoided by pretending the solution exists and asking people how they feel about paying for it. That said this can be a great not for profit idea.

How do you propose they make money to keep doing what they do without violating your privacy? Treat this as an annual donation and don’t use the features. Seems like an easy solution.

This actually is a very good product. Pain points it addresses: 1. Notify when something changes 2. No clear and customizable learning path Business outcomes: 1. Generate revenue keeping privacy intact It seems to me this is a good soluti

The bigger issue is lack of training and the ease with which you can make copy paste errors. At least use separate files for each client or something.

Is this true for farmers in farmers markets? I think this might be the case for large scale farming. Most farmers I see in my farmers market have relatively small land. My hypothesis is that if they’re big enough they don’t need to deal wit

I’ve gone a few steps further and answered the “So?”. My wife thinks I’m a conspiracy nut even though I’ve provided proof of things that have happened. She thinks if it was that wide spread it would have been stopped already. Fortunately we

Personally I don’t like to negotiate with farmers. They’re usually family run and is rather they make a good living. At car dealerships like autonation? Oh fuck that, I’ll fight for every dollar!

My work gave me this and it’s the worst! I thought mine was faulty. Sent it for repair 2 times and then I realized it’s just garbage thermals and noise. The i9 + dGPU is too much for that form factor.

Volvo takes it to a new level. They don’t crank up the heat to whatever you set it to unless you’re actually driving. Idling doesn’t help.

This is a myopic view. My state recently started charging for bags. Guess what? People carry groceries in their hands when possible. Many bring their own bag plastic reusable bags. It’s not just the energy required to create them. It’s that

Precisely. Any corporate lawyer reading this thread is probably hoping none of the engineers in their company think this way. In my old company we were told to perform competitor analysis only through publicly available information - blogs,
