The point of FB is to make profit for shareholders. The platform can evolve into something new and profitable. There's no need to salvage the old. That's why the poor guy is driving his VR vision so hard!

The current FB is great for productivity! No need to mourn the former FB. It's gone. I've given up on FB as a social network a long time ago. I unfollowed all my friends and started following things that interest me. Followed the

On top of that, many industries and politicians are pushing for society to return to the office because of the ecenomic negatives of not doing so. Think of all the commercial real estate sitting empty, think of all the dress clothes and mak

Just like at the office, you have to make sure people are actually working. Either way, it's on you.

To put it more mathematically, personality traits lie on a normal distribution. Most people are in the middle. Myers-Briggs turns traits into binary options, which does not match reality.

Nginx bites you in the a**: you start your project, choose the most famous web server (nginx), then you build and build and start needing the pro features. But they don't give you an up-front price! You have to contact them for a custo

I'm not talking about a simple debug=true/false. I'm talking about debug=true followed by various debugger settings. I don't want to see ten or twenty debugger settings in my prod config. Similarly, in dev, you can set t

The topic is midlife crisis. A midlife crisis is not about being poor, fearing for your job, or worrying about societal collapse. It's about your existence, purpose, the meaning of life, etc. It applies to all walks of life.

Rip them out and then you'll just have a new ruling class. It will be the next layer down. Humans are not equal. Most strive to accomplish things. Put those two together and it leads to unequal results. What false dichotomy? Either you

The compose file is declarative for clarity, so instead of fighting it, do the things you want to do at other levels. Variables? Pass in some env vars. Conditionals? You can specify multiple configuration files so that whatever calls `docke

Sometimes dev and prod go in different directions so it makes more sense to inherit a common file. For example, dev might have a whole bunch of settings for some debug tool whereas prod might have a whole bunch of settings for the email ser

Can anyone with industrial knowledge explain what the use of plastic gears means for the life span of a product such as this? It's shown at timestamp 2:21 in the video in the article. I've personally experienced and also read abou

What made you choose to build an iPhone app before an Android app? I'm curious where that debate stands in the last few years as I haven't seen the arguments for a long time.

Most of the trinkets aren't needed fast, so I feel the experience is the same: click the buy button and the submit button.

That kind of unimportant stuff is usually found on ebay for much cheaper. Usually things that cost no more than $10 or $20 on Amazon sell for much less on eBay. The trinkets category. I make a point of not engaging with that category on Ama

The difference is that if it's baked into the rent you would be free to move around more often. Instead, every move costs one month's rent.

It's not justified. But every time we click past terms of service, we know we're agreeing to a small chance of getting screwed.

Ticket vendors usually have crappy terms of service. Why did you agree to it? As the previous comment said, this belongs in small claims court, not chargebacks.

Bad comparison. Here's the comparison you should have made to be in line with my comparison: The people murdered with guns are murdered by people, not by the manufacturers of the guns. Doesn't mean that gun manufacturers are nice

There's also the angle that each day is the same as yesterday and the person doesn't feel like it's leading anywhere. It's the same as laying bricks for life or being a simple farmer. It puts food on the table but does n
