I use adblockers everywhere. I still see some ads, but never sexist ones. What are you seeing?

I was just under the impression that the cards with the best benefits were somewhat harder to get. I do understand that credit card companies make money on interest and late fees, so they should find consumers to be attractive so long as th

Do people who pay ridiculous interest qualify for 2% cards? Honest question; I don't carry a balance so have no idea what is advertised at other types of consumers.

Did this happen to you? I was under the impression that a tiny spill was no longer fatal for Mac laptop keyboards. I've seen it happen a few times and be fine, but maybe the people I knew were just lucky?

Can you elaborate? Perhaps I haven't noticed that they push pro-sponsored content (what does this mean, exactly?). I do find their comment section to be pretty lousy, and very partisan. But the tech coverage always seemed fair enough.

Some kids walk and bike for a mile or more. Lighting around schools only helps with the very last bit.

Yeah I feel lucky to have picked one up for $199 back in the day. Still use it, though TBH it's mostly as a second monitor for my MBA, when I'm traveling. I don't work on the iPad itself that much, even though the keyboard is

Yeah, I wish they would commit to doing a mini every x years. Last year I bought a 16 and this year I bought an Air. I returned both after just a few days. I can't reach across the phone with my thumb, meaning I can't use it one-h

I tried the Air and went back to the mini because of the camera compromises. One big issue for me was losing Cinematic video, which I use all the time.

How old was the device? I have a Late 2018 iPad Pro and have never encountered anything like this. It still works perfectly fine, and having invested in the nice keyboard case for it, I'm hoping to not have to upgrade for a while longe

Yeah, I basically never watch it anymore on account of the ads. Perhaps that was their goal: to reduce content licensing costs.

Patents don't last that long, FYI. Other types of IP do, as Disney has profitably demonstrated/lobbied.

Are you aware that the Citizens United case was actually about a movie? It wasn't about handing someone a stack of cash. When I see perspectives like yours, I wonder what you would say is the right way to handle the question of whether

Good to know. My dad recently asked and I didn't know the pros/cons. I haven't upgraded but that's because I don't have a need to. He has a new Mac mini, and I thought it might make sense for him. But it sounds like

I've found the free tier to be extremely limited recently, but in a stochastic way. Some days I ask one friggin question and it tells me I only have two questions left and should upgrade. I just switch to a different model.

Sure, but presumably you wouldn't have the feature activated when you're showing someone something on your phone?

Even before AI, I found it super annoying when I got spam from companies touting their YC cred. They're literally hurting their own brand, as well as YC's.

What country are you in? And when you say "I need to know" do you mean you want to know, or you are legally compelled to make decisions based on these criteria? Why do you fear lawsuits from parents as opposed to single people? Ar

I'm guessing from your handle that you're not a mom, and I'm guessing from your comment that you haven't talked to many about what they want. Most mothers of young children do not want to work full time. They want to wor

I guess it's easier to lob silly fart claims rather than engage with the fact that what you've described is very foreign to most Americans. As for sanctioning specific states, we do this plenty. There aren't many voices raise

Look at the animal kingdom, my friend. There is very clear evidence that for nearly all species, mothers are more nurturing.

No one said anything about policies forcing people to keep their pay secret. We love our freedom of speech, so that wouldn't make much sense. It is true that a small minority of states (under a quarter) have some requirement about sala

This is anathema to me, as an American. I would never want to have pressure to tell my employer anything about my home life, for fear of losing my job. As for laws about salaries, that also sounds terrible. I am glad that this is extremely

According to your line of thinking, anything that results from nature can be attributed to nurture because "we can't prove 100% that it isn't nurture". This is a terrific example of an unfalsifiable hypothesis. Secondly,
