Cars have a safety rating, I wonder if houses could have the same kind of rating? Would it be a better situation if houses for sale/rent will have a transparent safety rating visible to tenants and contractors could choose whether they

This looks great! In my previous company, we somehow ended up building a whole ERP around Google Sheets. Google Sheets is a very powerful tool, but the JavaScript definitely felt clunky and outdated. A solid C# foundation for building on to

I'm no dietitian but how much nutrition there actually is per 1kg of beef compared to 1kg of potatoes/pumpkin/onions, etc.? My sister is vegan, and whenever we have a vegan meal, I'm already hungry 2 hours after the meal

Yea I was working on a Unity game that originally had a WebGL build. At one point I implemented a 3rd party plugin that required multi-threading for real-time rope simulation (Obi Rope), and at that point WebGL basically became impossible f

Zapier is definitely one of the most successful ones, although, I'll take anything about market-size and valuations with a grain of salt, especially considering these are pre-2022 numbers. The beauty with products like Zapier is that t

While I really admire, and often use no-code/low-code tools, it's hard for me to see a clear and sizeable target audience. Often, it's some sort of variation of a very technically-savvy intra/entrepreneur that has limite

To me it seems like this is the symptom of a dying industry, the newspaper industry. I can't think of many people who are willing to pay for newspapers or news websites, let alone watch their ads(!). Eventually these papers are for-pro

Living close to a noisy road, I play white noise on Spotify every night. Usually though I just go with a playlist or one/few particular tracks running in a loop. Why would anyone go for a podcast rather than a playlist/track? I al

For cases when you have let's say a gaming PC and a Macbook connected to the same screen. You want a USB-C port so the Macbook will get everything from a single USB-C port (power included), but you also want your gaming PC to benefit f

Cool. Does G-SYNC/FreeSync work with the USB-C port?

It's one of the reasons for why I intentionally avoid Adobe, despite often contemplating using their products. I wonder if these kind of tactics are really worth their while, leaving stung customers from ever coming back.

True. "A" does play a similar role. The thing with "A" is that there are relatively few words where it could be applied, while in Hebrew, almost every noun and verb I can think of can have a "ב" prefix.
