   Thanks but it's far from impressive. It's been years. I've gone back and forth and did no-carb a few times (lost 30 lbs once and then fell off the wagon) which helped me break the habit. But then someone stressful would occur

   Orange juice from the grocery store isn't fresh. It's squeezed, then boiled until it's white, with orange dye added. Sugar and flavor packets are added to it. Truly fresh, unpasteurized orange juice only lasts a few days.

   Soda is addictive. At my worst, I drank 6 Cokes a day. I've been a heavy Coke drinker for a long, long time. I have a psychological dependence on it, so when I'm particularly stressed, I need to guzzle it down. I'm down to ab

   It's an interesting idea but ultimately it doesn't work in the real world. It simply incentivizes too much fraud. There are simply too many real-world corner cases that will fail. What if someone dies? Can you go and raid people&#

   I have collected 4 magsafe chargers from the various companies I've worked at because when I returned my laptop or got an extra, they never asked for the chargers back. It was very convenient, but now that I'm on the 2018 USB-C on

   I will never ever buy a MacBook Pro if they don't get rid of the TouchBar. The sheer arrogance of Apple to think they know better than their customers infuriates me. I only use a 2018 MacBook Pro because work supplied it, and because m

   There isn't a true meritocracy but it's "good enough" in Silicon Valley. Nothing will be perfect but what we have right now is better than any union. Unions will select for those workers with more seniority which is obje

   I believe people are different and there needs to be differentiation between those that are more skilled than those that are less skilled. I support that more skilled people getting paid more than those that are less skilled. I think it&#x2

    Tech unions are a way for bureaucrats to take a tax off the backs of hard working tech workers with no benefits. I am well off, have a flexible work life balance, and I enjoy my job. There is nothing that a union would bring to the table fo

    First thing before any code review is that your team/company needs to have a coding standard. This is the first rule of engagement and eliminates most problems. Without a coding standard, code reviews quickly devolve into crap. Once yo

    I have a Model 3. I hate the all-touch screen controls. I found the voice control utterly useless but I haven't played around with it very much, mainly because everything I tried failed. At the very least it's not as good as Siri,

    I feel the same way about the Model 3. The touchscreen interface is fine for a computer or when you're parked but when you're driving it's utterly useless. At the very least, they need to move the AC to tactile knobs and butt

    If a human has to be behind the wheel, then it will be even more expensive than Uber. They won't be able to handle the demand and wait times will be huge. So as a competitor to Uber I can't see how it will be effective. It's

    I'm on homelab. It's for fun. It's the same reason why we have cars that have hundreds of horsepower when you can't drive above 65 mph on most highways and even accelerating fast can get you a ticket for "exhibition

    I believe in cycles. Things get worse, things get better. You never hear about when things get better. For the last several years, people were saying that CA was in drought and that this was the "new normal". I didn't believe

    Sniping is the only rational way to big on eBay. You bid a single time, with the absolute maximum you would go for, and put it in the last 10 seconds. It prevents both you and your opponents from raising the price irrationally. Automatic bi

    The transformation of the US for largest importer to largest exporter in only a few years is stunning. Unfortunately, this is a geopolitical tactic to crush Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations like Iran so that it defunds terrorism

    There was no DRM put on the book, it was book-form only. Someone copied it, made a PDF of it, and distributed it for free. His royalties plummeted to almost nothing.

    The lack of empathy in the responses is staggering to me. It's as if the idea that a content creator should be financially rewarded for his or her hard work is some sort of moral crime. Yes, DRM sucks, but what other way can content pr

    Dammit! I had a 2015 15" Macbook from work that I upgraded from 2 months ago because the battery life sucked (less than 1 hour). I had to upgrade to this terrible 2018 Macbook Pro with the absolutely disastrous Touchbar which I hate.
