   That seems to be the way these conversations always go: 1 "iPhones are too expensive, people should buy cheaper Android phones" 2 "I buy cheap Android phones and the quality is terrible" 3 "You can get good quality

   Yeah if anything that's even worse. Dropping the price of your product to unsustainable levels to gain a competitive advantage is called "predatory pricing" and is a valid cause for anti-trust suits.

   I'm not a fan of Fortnite but that is extremely disingenuous. In your interpretation, parents are completely absolved from responsibility and apparently children have free access to credit cards that can't legally even be issued t

   After a free course on StackSkills a few years back I launched my first ever web site. The experience I gained from that launched my side project which has brought in a bit of extra income and a lot of personal satisfaction. After an exce

   >When's the last time you've heard anything credible about Linux on the Desktop? IBM doesn't care about it. Google doesn't care about it. Why would two companies who don't build desktops care about a desktop OS?

   Just because they're not popular doesn't mean they're not on the whitelist. Care to move the goalposts further?

   Yeah, you know those bastions of Communism known as Fox News, The Hill, Breitbart, Conservative Review, Military.com, Right Wing Watch, The Daily Caller, The Federalist, TheBlaze, CATO Institute, The Heritage Foundation, and all those other

   1995 was special, though, since that was the start of the Dotcom boom. Every year after 1995 and before 2000, the Dotcom bubble got bigger and bigger. To bounce like 1995, we'd need an economy like 1995.

    I have a coworker whose last name is the same as his mother's maiden name and a form asked him his mother's maiden name but would not allow the answer to be the same as his current name, for "security reasons". He had qu

    Remember when Equifax set up a "have I been hacked" site and that site was then immediately hacked?

    Everyone who knows about security already accepts that everything either already is hacked or will be hacked eventually and no one can stop it. There's a famous quote and I'm not sure if it's originally from former FBI Direct

    I personally think learning how to focus and power through a struggle is the important skill to learn, regardless of what form it takes. Finishing 10 imperfect paintings is more of a learning experience than never finishing one perfect pain

    If I only had a piano to entertain myself I probably would not be a professional piano player, you are correct. But that's not the point of the anecdote. Replace my computer with anything else, and the frustrations will still be the sa

    I feel similarly with the differences between me and my family vs my wife and her family. I grew up not desperately poor, but with only just enough money to get by. In the late 90s we had a computer, a basic Windows 95 machine with dial-up

    I used to have the same take, I couldn't understand people complaining about fakes because I never got any. I just assumed people were careless with their shopping. But then I started getting fakes on things I buy all the time. Fake AA

    I've never heard anyone in the US saying "office lady" and to be honest if I did hear that I would think it's being used in a derogatory fashion. I actually just looked up what "office lady" means and yeah... I

    I would argue that complaining about the language adds nothing to the discussion. Whether it's in the title or in the comments, you can't reasonably expect to censor bad language across the entire site, let alone the entire Intern

    Personally I think the problem is the over-use of analytics in page design. No one can compete on page design anymore because it doesn't convert well with focus groups or in A/B testing, so every page looks like a Bootstrap templa

    The average American camper weighs 5,200lbs [1] completely empty. Once it's loaded with water, fuel, and gear, it's about 1,500 lbs heavier. I encourage you to find a 1.8L engine that will tow a 6,000+ lb trailer over a mountain p

    Cars are very expensive ($30k on average), and their production is a huge use of crude oil and water and electricity. What you seem to be advocating (and maybe I'm reading this wrong) is that people buy multiple cars, one small fuel ef

    Literally the first definition of "guy" is "a man". "Guy" is only gender neutral when you're referring to a group of people.
