I used phabricator at my last job and was really impressed. Now I'm using Gerrit and I'm less impressed (but still getting used to it). You say clunky, but Phabricator's UI makes Gerrit look like a WAP app.

That is tragic. I'm such a huge fan of SoundCloud - I even pay for a pro account, even though I don't post that much audio, just to give them $$ - but ... sigh. These are not good problems. And here I thought their Roshi library

That's a different argument than OP was making. Clearly if "never having a cold" happens to also mean "dies at 50" then it's not a good idea. But OP was arguing that the experience of having a cold makes you a

Great analysis of Soundcloud's problems. I love it for all the same reasons (something like 90% of the new music I've found over the past 4 years is via soundcloud), but any ability to filter/manage/sort/search you

This has all been pretty obvious for awhile. Take Instacart: I pay $100/year for unlimited grocery delivery? Which I'm doing once per week, so that's < $2 per delivery. To deliver this service takes the Instacart shopper

The majority of the time when I'm reading, I don't hear anything at all. So, you'll probably be unsurprised by my answer to your second question - I generally don't hear my voice (or any voice) when I'm thinking.

I will gladly trade a 100 year old washing machine (rusty and hand-powered, I assume) for a Miele. I'm sure you have an argument here, but I don't see how washing machines further it.
