I've never understood how paywall bypass addons can be considered ethical. Even if you hate paywalls, it's the publisher's decision to use them. If I were to take a newspaper from a news stand without paying because there&#x2

Advice like this is always funny to me. It's kind of like being upset about the low quality of vegetables at the super market and being asked why you don't just grow your own in your backyard. I'm sure anyone who is technolog

Yes, so much of this just comes down to what management feels like doing / not doing. I've been to major national warehouses that offer normal working hours (9 AM to 7 PM) and a relatively tolerable environment (even some daycare

I write software for distribution centers (DC) and end up traveling to a lot of these warehouses (not XPO in particular). In my experience, it is a tedious job with long hours in a noisy environment. A lot of the DCs are run more like high

I don't think you can take it for granted that most people who use Facebook spend time thinking about privacy issues. I also don't think it's helpful to dismiss things for being obvious - The theory of gravity comes from the

The ProtonMail mobile app on Android isn't very good. Swiping emails to archive is very slow and often messes up. Sometimes after archiving an email, it randomly reappears in the list until I manually refresh again. Just a lot of littl
