I suspect BT is a major cause. Apple may want to make sure that the apple watch experience is at least as good as it is on iphone. So apple may be unwilling/unable to spend the resources to support every android device out there. And w

a 10 minute test drive in upstate new york does not give you the time to understand all the issues, unfortunately. quite a few things I did not realize I didn't like until about 2-3 months driving the car daily. I would agree in genera

I bought a new car this year. It has HUGE blindspots behind the pillars (it's an SUV). They're placed in line with the crosswalk when I'm at a red light. So I have to bob my head around if I want to see anyone about to cross

sometimes I wonder: If I didn't need to update 6 things, get approval from two colleagues, and justify the time to a scrum master watching how many tasks I complete every 2 weeks... would I write more meaningful documentation?

I dont think Ive worked at a company that used commit messages to record what is changing. Im not saying that I am disagreeing with you on that point. I’m just sharing my experience We tend to rely on the diff and PR for the ‘what is changi

I'll take a crack at a couple possibilities well, first, companies having this information is inherently not ok to the average person Second, agencies are purchasing this information with taxpayer money. So we're feeding a market
