If you remove your shoes outside and walk barefoot, you're just sharing the sweat, dirt & germs of your foot with everyone else at home & guests. You'll probably take that to bed with you and sometimes sleep on it. If you

You've used correct logic but you missed the point OP was trying to convey.

Some good comments here that I feel like implementing @ColonelPanic001 : dark cube, overhead lights off, monitor at minimum brightness @jisaacstone : large monitor, big font, keep it far away. Relax instead of leaning in toward the screen.

Any reference on working with lights on vs off? I've seen 1 or 2 people do that in office. I've been told that lack of ambient light might cause more strain. Is there any study supporting what you've said?

All good except : > if you can't get growth, then you should probably hang up your boots and retire from founder life Don't let anybody tell you when to retire.

I've found Undo prone to failure. E.g. - In Android's gmail, sometimes undo does not recover the message (probably a bug) - When I'm swiping pictures in Android and accidentally delete a picture and by the time I realize, the

They won't be of any real help. It's better to get to popular blogs in India like nextbigwhat, trak.in, etc. A coverage on TOI will get you a lot of mileage.

I sympathize with you and hope the story reaches more ears. I can believe how unprofessional hotel staff can be despite their own mistakes. That's especially true for hotels that are run as a family business and lack corporate culture

Well done. A little 'getting started' would help people get started faster. This written at the top "Select the plates" & the progress bar weren't obvious because there were occluded form the view.

I think all laptops can extend the battery life-span significantly with just smarter software. I manually cycle my laptop battery regularly & do not keep it charged at 100% all the time even if the laptop is plugged in (some Thinkpad mo

Time is ripe for a P2P real-time people-network. Outside first world, Twitter has been playing a pivotal role in helping people counter oppressive regimes & lack of democracy. But this may not continue for long. Edit: Ripe = not just fo

The cost of rescue & recovery is substantial. That money could be preemptively used to subsidize the tech that affects flight safety.

"Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration" The list takes care of 1% part. Perspiration is fueled by passion. As long as one can strike the right mix, why not.

It is probably a good thought but the implementation sounds too strict. The power users have ruined stackoverflow to an extent. I'd suggest relaxing the endorsement policy to a lower karma score. And perhaps a way of penalizing those w

You do realize that losing a wallet is not the same as losing an email. A backup copy of the former is useless if it's stolen however that's not always the case with latter. Awesome things like what MtGox did?

You are missing the peer pressure part. Even if you don't need money & don't need attention, people won't let you live being content. The greed for money+attention, in my view, are the biggest vices. Unfortunately, they a

Chrome feels lighter & perceptually faster (mostly psychological) because of a flatter UI (specifically the tabs, scrollbars). Although after updating Firefox today, I can notice that there's improvement in it.

To write it off 3 years later? Skype used to work well until ebay interrupted it. Now with MS, the bloated UI takes forever to load and I can't login for 3-4 minutes. If whatsapp can start in a snap on a mobile device and use so little

Good points. 3. No block level sync. This is a big deal for me since I use big encrypted files (block cipher). They work flawlessly with Dropbox. Incremental changes = incremental update.
