It's not whiny, in exact terms, it's something much worse: people not wanting to admit they can have agency. You see this a ton on social media. People make excuses after excuses of why they can't get out of debt, why they ca

It's also capricious. I've been in companies doing legitimate r&d who would spend man months preparing for the CIR only to get it rejected, while they got it in previous years for much less interesting work.

This, sadly, just doesn't live up to reality. It wasn't the technical users that made Facebook popular. It was college students, and not the CS ones. I remember, I was there. As for Instagram, again, I was there. Had that been a p

I mean, the very first two replies on your link are "yes" and the third is "maybe." Doesn't seem very unanimous to me. (My comment makes less sense now. OP had originally said the replies were unanimously negative,

I did the same. And then my mother-in-law decided to ignore my requests. And then my mother got angry. And then I caved.

I find it fascinating that Europeans will look down on Americans for their race problems, but mention the Roma/travelers and they respond in a way that would make Archie Bunker say calm down.

There's a weird amnesia in tech journalists that occurs when Apple does something and it's suddenly the first time it's been done. My hunch is that it's because they use iPhones as their daily drivers and don't real

Your experience and mine is almost exactly the same, down to the subway being the place where I used Pocket the most.

An extension is what it was, before Firefox bought it. It's what it still is, on other browsers.

I would have absolutely loved this. I would love for someone to do this with Substack or podcast transcripts.

Truth be told, my relationship with Pocket has dipped significantly over the years. According to my email, I signed up for Read It Later in March of 2011, which coincided with the release of their Android beta. It was the first thing I inst

I feel like there's something wrong with me for not understanding the big leap with MCP and the proponents aren't helping. I saw a tweet stream that said something like "if you think MCP is the same as REST, you're not t

I'm pretty sure the person above you is making a joke, because "love" equals zero in tennis scoring.

If you're expecting it to be a silver bullet, then you're in for a bad time. You still have to do the work. It's a lever or a pulley, nothing more.

You keep mentioning the "mainly women" bit. Does that really matter that much? If mainly men were the ones impacted, would that change how good or bad the policy is?

It's not modern, although I don't disagree that it's more common. But you do have jokes even back to the 80s of "world ending, women and minorities most effected."

When I read about terrible things done in a group like this, my first thought is: would I have done the right thing? I like to think I'm a good person, but these people probably do, too. It sounds like there's something rotten in

Not that it invalidates your point, but you're missing a lot of ports. Houston, South Louisiana, Mobile, Beaumont, etc. Seattle is actually 17th by foreign import tonnage.

I've looked into getting my tattoos removed after reading about Pete Davidson, of all people. Then I looked into it, and it seems to be pretty hit or miss. Some people have great outcomes, some people end up with something that looks e

If you'd like to be less unnecessarily cynical, you can instead read it as "there's someone in the vehicle who is more fragile, and less likely to survive an accident."

I'm not an AOC fan, but I was an intern on Capitol Hill, and I'm sure as hell not from an upper crust background. I'm not holding that against her.
