In my opinion this is a benefit, subconversations during a meeting are distracting. If it doesn't need to be discussed by the entire group, that conversation should happen after the meeting. Zoom meetings where everyone is on a separa

Totally agree, just wanted to point out that I've been running Arch on multiple desktops & laptops for years and never had to compile a driver before. Maybe that's a thing for niche hardware but pretty much everything just wo

Right or wrong, the school district is taking preventative measures in an attempt to protect public health. Suing them over that would not look particularly good for the union.

I also don't know the real statistics, but I don't think it's fair to assume the used car will last the same as a new car. If new cars cost $30k and last 10 years, and used cars cost $15k and last 5 years, you break even. Alt

I don't think your 2nd bullet is completely true, although I don't think it's the same as how it worked in v4. You can receive income in January, then switch to February and allocate it to a category. When you switch back to

You probably use a different password for every login, but there are a lot of people who don't.

The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was signed into law over 20 years ago and should make this a non-issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Emerson_Good_Samaritan_Ac...

In my experience, most people don't actually claim there is no higher intelligence or god. They just don't accept the claim that there is (because there is no evidence). The nuance of this tends to get lost through imperfect lang

Fair points. All I was trying to say was that Electron and other technical decisions should be evaluated by their actual business impact, which vary from app to app.

I feel like there's a lot more low-hanging fruit that could be added to the Chrome experience to win people over, rather than building a relatively expensive game streaming platform.

Don't use Electon. Your users WILL notice and complain about performance. Is this actually true? Slack and Discord are valued at ~$7B and $2B respectively, and neither have found it necessary to move off their Electron apps. I assum

Yes, but it likely would still be less than cable packages. Cable services are not known for being able to watch what you want: * Basic gives you 10 channels you don't want * Enhanced gives you 2 channels you want and 38 you don't

I agree with you and I'm concerned that the streaming market is going in a less-user-friendly direction. That said, for me Amazon Prime is $10, Netflix HD is $13, and HBO is $15. I can't get get BBC in the US, so let's swap i

The alternative model is what franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed do: spend $60 every year on a brand new game while the previous year's game is unsupported. And $60 is without any of the extras...you can pay $80 fo

I believe inefficiency is a red herring. I want the government to collect taxes to fund these efforts for two reasons: 1) So that we can have consistent, reliable, and widely-available services. 2) So the financial cost of society is sprea

The idea that we can just take our tax dollars elsewhere and get better outcomes for less money doesn't seem realistic to me. At worst, these essential services just fall apart because not enough people would be willing to spend their

If it's not optional for rewarding exceptional service, then it should be part of the price. If everyone pays the same expected tip, there's no real benefit to having a separate line item on the bill. But practically, certain cus

Editing/deleting messages is now possible, along with options for automatically expiring messages. Not sure if the desktop clients have improved, but I haven't had any issues in the last year or so.

The HP Spectre x360 is a good example of bezel-shrinking in laptops. I have a 13" model and it's nice to have a more compact laptop. I have no idea why this style isn't more popular. Maybe it seems too fragile to consumers?

If you can't tell, does it matter? The reason people don't like phone trees is not because they are robots. Rather, because they often make it difficult to get the help you need or reach the right department. If a live human rea

I got excited and googled the email clients you mentioned...and then learned they are Mac/iPhone/iPad only. And that's why I'm on Gmail.

How about commission-based pay, where wait staff get a base wage plus a per-table commission. So basically just like tipping, but without the customer discretion part of it.

My point was that it's easy for the average person to want to avoid GMO foods, but harder for them to give up their Coca-Colas, Oreos, etc.

Surprisingly, avoiding GMO foods may not be as viable as one might think: > Currently, up to 92% of U.S. corn is genetically engineered (GE), as are 94% of soybeans and 94% of cotton (cottonseed oil is often used in food products). It ha

Why wouldn't you want to keep the constraints as close to the data as possible? That way you avoid the issue that the Rectangle struct is reused somewhere else, but without the correct constraints.
