This is really cool, but I have to say that sliders are the absolute worst way to input income and benefits. Why not just use a simple textbox?

I actually downloaded Ripcord, immediately saw that they will "never" support video calls or embed videos, and then immediately uninstalled it. Why do a lot of these alternate clients purposefully leave out vital features?

Come the fuck on, really? Are you really asking someone why they would click the button that says download and is prominently displayed and then acting like they are stupid for expecting it to download? 99.9% of Windows users do not use win

...what? 60 thousand dollars for a dedicated computer that you can't use is not everyone, not on their own computers, and is also a crazy large amount of money for nearly everyone. Sure there are some that could, but that's not wh

I have to wonder if 10 years down the line, everyone will be able to run models like this on their own computers. Have to wonder what the knock-on effects of that will be, especially if the models improve drastically. With so much of our so

Do you want to be the person who has to explain why your userbase just dropped 20% because you didn't want to ban porn? If Apple says you want to ban something, it's getting banned. "Globally" is also not a good metric h

If Apple released a notch in the bottom side of their macbooks for a camera bump to fit in, everyone would be calling them visionary geniuses and they would use it to jack up the price 200 dollars more.
