Again, my point is that there will be requests for features that will still be beyond these new features such as needing Javascript. And again, these are great and useful advancements. For example, the `@starting-style` allows for a startin

UI designers that are allowed to roam free will often NOT want these new default modals, menus, buttons, etc. even if it was their jam pre-default. This will help, but consistency seems to be seen as a weakness in UI rather than a feature w

I think UI in general is changed so often for no reason other than because it's like art to the UI staff. And then others follow thinking that there is a good reason for those changes made by Apple or whomever. And some FOMO in there t

I agree, hence said "it is VERY popular at certain rallies". The "ultra-conservative" label = a huge % of that party. No assumptions whatsoever about people who believe in economic Darwinism, lower corporate taxes becaus

Idea: limit backlog size. If something is going in, something's coming out, either to a sprint or deleted. And we can call it "Burn It To Ground" never to be brought up again. Or some process like that.

When I don't make as much in a year, I go through all of the same exact steps just to see the standard deduction is better :D . It's a nice walk down memory lane though.

Isn't a 1040-EZ free and takes 10 minutes? My tax situation is kind of complicated and costs me like $150 for all of the things TurboTax finds, figures out, calculates, submits, and all in a nice UI. Can someone please explain to me wh

Oregon (kind of) dropped requirements for very basic reading, writing, and arithmetic to graduate high school because such skills were deemed racist. I'm not a big fan of standardized tests, but they can identify serious issues to addr

Anti-intellectualism is a very real thing in this country, and mostly found in ultra conservative circles. For example, it is VERY popular at certain rallies to believe that 1) Obama is still running the show behind the scenes as a communis

As a grocery checker, I also remember not typing the checksum. It isn't part of the product's ID, but manually typing in probably has a higher chance of error than scanning so what the heck?? Another fun fact: in the intro to The

Barcodes use the last digit as a checksum. The checksum is some adding up the numbers and multiplying or something, then % 10 (only 0-9 possible values). As you can see with this math, the error checking has a 1/10 of a chance of coinc

I thought more access and more options to video content would make TV and film better. Absolutely not. They replaced the CURATED video rental store with nothing, and now content that never earned a minute of air time is placed center stage

There is also more obviously pumped out garbage labeled Netflix originals and it is sad. It's like they took over the video rental store, kicked out half of the good stuff and filled it with Blockbuster Exclusives made by the staff. St

Maybe, but jury selection weeds out people with any hard opinion to begin with. If you say "Yes I have received illegal content and I don't give af" then prosecution will likely nix you.

You took my half baked opinion and proved that it's false but even better. I got overwhelming nays on this but you sir/madam have taken it to a peer reviewed (1 peer) level and I thank you for that. Even in the study my half baked

My PGE (Bay area) does the same but I'm pretty sure it's an estimate according to house size, # of people, and a questionnaire I filled out such as "how many times do you run the dishwasher per week". Your house pulls el

My friend bought a book that was literal gibberish in its thousands of pages. Yes he got a refund. The question still stands, especially among an open source community, WHY is Amazon the defacto? I argue let's stop that

I understand the obsession with being on Amazon, but can we please normalize selling elsewhere? The internet is a vast expanse. Why do we think Amazon is the end all be all? I do not understand this.

27 is basically the youngest age a person can be a medical doctor, and a couple years out of finishing a Ph.D. It's no prodigy at all.

Wow that makes a lot of sense. When people complain about social media using their data, it often comes off as if they're addicted and a victim of it, like they're really complaining about their own use of the platforms that they

My understanding is that 3rd parties get to _target according to this data_, but they do not _get the actual data_. So I can say "I'm going to propose!" a bunch of times and get engagement ring ads (the classic example, bc no
