Wow! That's a clever solution. I can see it only working when users don't know it exists. But when secret, I imagine this would be INCREDIBLY effective, as they'll blame the experience on the software, not their behavior.

Haha. I have a personal saying that is similar. "Life causes death." So, the key is clearly to never live in the first place. :-)

Praise the day!!! The tyranny of auto-preview has ended! On a serious note, I get why they added it. For some, it saves a few button presses. But boy was that an annoying feature. Literally made browsing Netflix stressful.

The thing that gets me is electricity is EVERYWHERE in the developed world. There are already libraries and other public places that slap a couple of EV chargers in the parking lot. This was never feasible with gasoline. It seems that when

Flying already evokes an illogical visceral fear in most humans. (Listen to the screams, and white knuckled grasps, during strong turbulence.) The 737 Max is likely dead, forever, for passenger traffic. There's just too much for every

Initonly seems to be a fix for what readonly should have been. I never understood why readonly did not allow during initialization, especially since initializing values is often used in place of a proper constructor, and is understood to be

This is definitely a thorny problem. I've seen so many terrible lawyers cost clients thousands upon thousands of dollars, because the lawyer doesn't really know how to fight the case, or lacks the skill. And none of us think about

Yes. As an advertiser, who traces each ad, I can say that advertising has demonstrably made me thousands upon thousands of dollars. However, 80% of ads are trash peddled by blind men leading blind men. There are very specific advertising te

Ok. Not sure what to make of this line: > With the ability to pull near infinite mass That's the opening line from one of the slides on the slide show... That seems a like a bit of an overstatement... Just a tad.

This new truck doesn't follow Tesla's former design language. Absolutely bizarre. The concept renders both assume, which we all did, that Tesla would remain consistent with a design language that's been successful.

This design is so ugly it makes me question my investment in Tesla. What are they thinking...?

So, how can a person like me take advantage of this? This seems like a great arbitrage situation. Where would one find these diamonds that no one wants to buy? I hear these stories, but it seems like everyone that is selling a used diamond

Where did you find the moissanite? My wife wants to upgrade her diamond and I think she is convinced that moissanite is a good substitute. But I find that moissanite is still far more expensive than I expected (for 1.5 carats, it wasn'

In the parent's post, Image does not refer to literal physical shape. I'm not sure if that's what he/she meant or not. That the God of the Bible doesn't look like a man or woman is clear from the below verse: "
