In my experience, if you don't travel enough to have status, Southwest is one of the better companies for not being treated like a pleb and getting nickel and dimed at every turn. Furthermore, many people find no assigned seats to be a

I'm generally all for government regulations, especially when the market is such that true competition isn't really possible, but here I have to entirely blame the consumer. There are more than sufficient airlines on major routes

I wonder how that chart measures "CEO pay". Since the majority of executive pay is equity (in this case, $20m of the $23m quoted figure), I'd say that CEO performance (as measured by stock returns) pretty directly affects the

Really I'm mostly bitter because right now I'm paying $57/mo for 12 Mbps U-Verse in Mountain View. I could pay $70/mo to switch to either 50 Mbps Sonic (currently considering) or 100 Mbps Xfinity (really don't want

Not really; the only difference is that instead of waiting at the gate / in the aisle for people to put their bags in the bin, you're sitting in your fancy seat drinking a rum and coke. You still wait for your bag, even though it&

Okay, so go find a lawyer willing to make it a class-action and start the suit. Find a list of damages and try to justify the large cost, then file. Or is angrily commenting on Hacker News easier? Give me a break.

Muting a channel doesn't prevent it from showing unread message indicators when your coworkers use @here and @channel indiscriminately. This is probably my current biggest pet peeve with Slack, an app that I otherwise love (at least mo

It's not just you. That was my first thought too, as it pretty much seems like a huge extension of the amount of data you can see without unlocking.
