There are many more choices for the capital worker. They have to judge every transaction they make. For example they ought to check whether the companies they invest in are diligent about back-ups, because that's a cause for losing the

Checking back on hiding this tank in forest vs in snow, they say they have a temperature-controlled cover. I can see how it works in desert by heating up to the temp of the sand, but anyone knows whether they can make their temperature appe

Yes, to me this piece flies way past the "technically privileged" assertion. And in this way, it is one of the best counter-arguments to the "technically privileged" accusation some people have against our field.

Sure, but wouldn't automation provide something more? If people know it's automatic, they're less enclined to assume the driver will stop; There is also less risk that the computer-driver is at fault; and last but not least,

Indeed, the video got me thinking that they've probably done a lot of user testing already and they're confident to market it past the HN-type of people. It also looks so confident that I thought I (31 years old) wasn't in th

I've seen a company without MS Office. There goes shared network drives too. Everyone had the OS of their choice, the best tool for their work, and we never exchanged files.

You can't have outstanding performance with those tools, so I'm not sure whether you have your chances. It's a dilbertesque situation where employees can't perform well and the management self-reproduces with the least i

Design isn't about us liking those tastes or not. One part is about ergonomy of course, and the other is about looking up-to-date. Just watching the colors of a website/app, you could tell which year it was made and whether it&#x2

At least, you can easily divide an hour and a minute by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15. Which is a little more annoying with a pint (...but who would divide a pint anyway).

Same problem here. To dodge w3schools I resorted to writing an /etc/hosts local dns entry, so I would never open it even by mistake.

I've always assumed movies were watermarked, so we know who owned the copy that was cracked. It could be powerful: If a unique identifier is embedded in every copy, it could track the origin down to the theater room or down to the watc

It's hard to spend money that is hidden from local tax offices. Local authorities can even blame you if your lifestyle is higher than your declared income.

Correct. They didn't mention alternative points of views either, like "Is it secure", "Is it encrypted", "Is it centralized", "Are there competitors". It's a bit one-sided towards FireChat.

You're correct, but I believe you have been downvoted because instead of quoting general economist mottos about the misuse of public money, you could have cited factual examples. In fact in my (free) French engineering school, I know q
