Man, that site has come a LONG way in the past couple of years. I haven't seen it since probably 2015. Back then, the diagrams were super useful, and the content easily understandable. Now it looks like a Mechanics University!

Can't they just make money while selling 0 political ad space? The whackamole infrastructure and the toll it takes on literally everyone and everything involved has got to be worse then not selling political adspace at all. Imagine a F

You can filter to Sold Listings to see what the average price is. The problem is that in many auctions for similar items are actually not so similar. I search for camera gear a lot. When it comes to camera bodies, there's a lot of vari

Tangent: There's a link at the bottom to Google Finance. If you click through, the charts required Flash. Google Chrome is blocking Flash. I bet that's a source of strife for the Finance team over at Google...

I removed Facebook from my phone because I didn't like how impulsively I was using it at any moment of waiting or downtime. It was hard-ish at first, and it took a lot of "Do I or Don't I?" before I actually did it. I di

“I don’t feel that my being part of covering the National Football League is perpetuating danger,” (Al Michaels) said in a phone interview. “If it’s not me, somebody else is going to do this." Wow. The drug dealer's response.

Seems like there should be some additional protection in the extensions API, if there is not already. "Read and change all your data on the websites that you visit" vs. "And send it somewhere over the web" are two separa

Resort fees drive me crazy. It's one thing to charge for add-ons if you're taking a flight, because they're technically optional and there is a way to avoid them. But resort fees are mandatory. There's no way to opt of u

I might be sleep deprived, but sometimes I'll go to the car for 15 minutes and be pulled out of a deep dream by the time the timer goes off. Even if I don't fall asleep, just focus on your breathing, slow in slow out, and try to b

“Yeah, Python is great in so many ways, too bad it’s not really scalable.” I'm not even sure what this means anymore. I guess I'm just not sure how any language, when used correctly, could be inherently unscalable. My guess is sta
