I will continue to pay for Prime and Netflix and Disney but I will also just continue to pirate all the content I want and not watch it through the services. They are all getting so junky lately. The quality of content across the board has

Doesn’t this push traffic that didn’t pay Apple through Apple’s infrastructure? These guys should know better than to waste dev hours on a business problem. Apple isn’t going to allow this. No amount of shady spoofing or reverse engineering

That’s crazy slow! I can’t even begin to think of how long it would take to get anywhere. By comparison, “The Texas Transportation Commission is allowed to bump up the speed limit in certain sections to 75, 80 and 85 mph, according to the T

Really good to do this! I recently had drama with a contractor... it went into mediation, and the contractor was able to say, "How do we know this damage wasn't caused before we got there?" Contractors are shady, and likely t

These paragraphs really pack a punch, and having worked in tech for 20+ years now (but not at Google) I feel this. Every shitty company eventually has layoffs that ruin the culture, and end up with a "Jeanine Banks" manager type.

I book flights for my parents, who are both elderly. I set up a flight for my Dad, on American Airlines. And requested the golf cart to get him from gate to gate. Not 30 minutes later, I got a call, "An emergency notice about your flig

If they had gone to any number of design agencies, they likely would have been happy to do this work right, pro bono. Given they don't seem to have any sort of request for assistance... sort of left taking pot shots from the sidelines.

This site has issues. Why can't I search by Zip Code? Or by Remote? For a non-profit, and a government site, the Accessibility scores are pretty low... just using WCAG scanners. This should be a flawless site. They also claim "Vol

What's the cost? It says "70% off" but doesn't show the actual price anywhere. What's up with that? You are dealing with a bunch of anxious people, I would think up-front information would go a long way! (=

I may be using the wrong words. They picked 2 mediators, we got to pick a mediator from the 2 they originally picked. At the end of the day we were at an impasse... and I was told it was 18+ months to get in front of a judge for a trial, an

It’s rigged. Both sides have a say on paper. But the company gets to pick 2, but then you only get to pick from the 2 they suggested. You don’t have a real choice. It’s just rigged to make it sound like you do.

Binding arbitration, it certainly feels like a rigged system. I just went through it and lost. Never thought I would lose against this clearly shady contractor. I had inspection reports, emails and texts from them committing to fix my house

The redesign is OK. Annoying how some things moved, still not enough emphasis on channels that have unread messages (light text vs. normal for “bold” to call attention), and still no way to mute all but direct @ messages… so you can’t ever

It just feel so incestuous. Insurance company can't make more than 15% profit... OK, easy solution... just buy the hospitals. Now you can set the prices... if a service costs you $1,000, you can advertise things cost $10,000, but only

Yeah... For clinical trials they need dogs that are healthy with consistent injuries. The only way to get that in the quantity is they need is to cause the injuries. Where I went to college, there was a lab with 3,000 dogs in it. All of the

Makes me sad to think about the 400 dogs they had to inflict eye injuries on to test this out.

Came here to say this as well. All the talk about the office being a magnet, not a mandate... needs to apply to products as well. Magnets, not mandates. Atlassian hasn't added much in the way of new features to the cloud instances, and

Getting rid of scroll bars was something that the guys with infinity scarves stuck us with, right around the time they started doing 200-weight fonts, and removing all the standard web components we had standardized on since the early 90s.

For every function, it's great to have a plain language comment explaining What it does and Why it does it. You can also include How it works (if it's sufficiently complex), and When you expect it to get called if you want. If you
