Exactly. Jira UX is terrible (it've very hard to find things) and closing a ticket that was a mistake is at least 3 steps.

See my comment below, they do have a pay by month option. It's just harder to find and costs more per month than an annual paid monthly. I used it for a few months in 2016 - cost something like $50 CAD/mo

Maybe replace some of the meters on the streets with paid chargers (meter + charger fee going to municipality).

Sure. There's also loads of people (millions and millions) that live in rural and suburban US and and Canada that could very easily install a charger in their garage or driveway. Don't ~~show~~ throw the baby out with the bathwate

If they made an electric with AWD/4WD that was sort of SUV boxy (you know, to put stuff in it) that was 4-5 inches higher off the ground than a typical sedan and sold for around $30k USD it would handle 90% of my needs.

I have a 5s. I'd like more RAM and disk. I don't need a faster processor/bigger screen and I like my headphone jack, thanks.

I think people criticized new products when they didn't understand them. This is a laptop, we all know what it is. It's a minor change where Apple is telling us what we want. Sure, they've done it before, but now they seem

I really hate Adobes subscription model. I completely understand why they are doing (increase revenue, decrease piracy) but rather than support it I simply stopped using their products. I had a bit of a work around to get a monthly AI subsc

Yes, if you're sick of divisive in your face politics, and understand that that a social contract (higher taxes and broad access to healthcare) are important to society, please come to Canada. I am a US expat, and have been in Canada f

I had a few Powerbooks in the 90's. I can't remember which one it was (I think it was a Pismo) but I was working on the couch one day with the laptop on a small stool in front of me. Someone knocked on the door and I got up, catch

I had the same thing happen with 2 pair of wired sony headphones with the around the ear holder. In both times just one channel fried though :( Have you used any non-bluetooth headphones that lasted?

This has popped up as a recommendation for me several times. Each time I spent like 2 minutes looking for non-app examples. Is Origami phone app only, or can you prototype browser/desktop experiences as well?

Why do people have problems with taxes? I don't. Never have. When taxes build schools and infrastructure and provide policing and social support it's a good thing. When taxes are misused (military industrial complex perhaps) that&

I did a trivia game for a Mattel subsidiary in 1998 that was still running in 2008 on the website. It's not there any longer but I don't know when it was taken down. A lot of the games we developed were in shockwave/lingo and

It's kind of sad that the only answer to this type of thing we have seen in (relatively) recent times is Reagans disastrous deregulation, nothing like Northern Securities Co. v. United States or the Sherman Anti-trust act in over 100 y

It's not just how it's supposed to work (I'm agreeing with you), it's how it often works. Most of us on here work in software - how many times have we seen tech companies get their products and services deep inside an or

A for profit news editorial site based on sensationalism. Why is anyone surprised? That's "news" today. Just turn on the television in the US. I haven't been able to watch CNN since the mid-90's.

At some companies, you're right... I am seeing some stuff right now that blows my mind, complete incompetence getting promoted to executive levels. Unbelievable.

I agree 100%. When on salary you are buying a piece of my time in exchange for an agreed upon amount of compensation. For an employer to make the former variable but not the latter is B.S. Also, the whole more than 40 hour per week expectat

It's almost like it reinforces that you are just a commodity, meat. I do think it's important to have a fit on teams, and I have hired people with awesome skills that were terrible cultural fits more than once. But I'm not go
