The UI is not clear at all. I don't want to update Catalina for the time being and the "other updates" option is small and hardly noticeable and clearly being mostly hidden in order to get people to update to Catalina. I defi

My first name differs from my sibling's by two letters (and same last name), and I often get credit history "verification" questions about him. I mean, they're two very different names, and whatever BS company it is that

Honestly, it's kind of insulting to himself. If I had as many delusions of grandeur as he does, I'd assume I'd instill the company from birth with such unwavering great culture, that it'd never go astray even 300 years i

I'm a 15 year dvorak user, and I can no longer type on qwerty keyboards at all — it's just hunt and peck really. But qwerty keyboards on the phone are just fine.

They may not have sold it — they may have just had their database hacked. I used to use unique email address per site too, and at least one was clearly hacked rather than sold.

There's been a meme for decades that McDonalds is really a real estate company that sells burgers on the side.

Julian Assange is exactly the hill I'd die on, because rights apply to all people, even the worst. And that's how they start chipping away at them.

I've spend a lot of time in Berlin, and I find it hard to read. Mostly in that sometimes it's relatively annoying to determine what lines will get me from Station A to Station B. For example, let's say you're a tourist a

I grew up in NM, and it's not necessarily an amazing place to live. But it's a fantastic place to visit! So much amazing wilderness of all kinds, and all kinds of culture.

I, too, stopped buying there because I can never assume anything I buy there is authentic. And I actually canceled my Prime subscription that I've had since the Prime program started. The only thing I really still buy from Amazon is To

Sorry, I poorly worded that (and even used the word literally. Sigh). My bad. I meant that we invented computers to do mathematical calculations, of which timezones are a great example. Getting rid of the timezones doesn't mean we get

The only people I know that want to get rid of timezones are technical people, often programmers. Which is crazy to me, because we literally invented computers to solve the coordination issue with timezones. Getting rid of timezones just of

There's a lot of unused sunlight hours in the morning in the summer, so we change our clocks to make use of it. That's how we "match the suntime".

Well, you and everyone else stopped reading the print edition 10 years ago. That's what happened.

In addition, just noticed that Bonobos withdrew from the EEC due to GDPR "Due to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we're currently unable to offer products and services to customers in the European Economic Commun

I removed all my apps from the EU, and I will no longer publish any future apps there unless they become wildly successful in another country first. My apps are tiny, free, and just not worth the hassle of figuring out what GDPR compliance

Disney is more than just movies for little kids. It's Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and more.

Dropping the floppy also sucked. They were ubiquitous, and practically free. You could re-write them. Copying a file onto them was fast. Writing to a CD was slow. And cost about a buck. And didn't always work. So, yeah, there's pa

Well, you would be wrong. Every step between a customer and completing an order is a loss of sales.

But Waymo (and Apple) is no longer building cars, as they partnered with Fiat Chrysler. Turns out building cars is a pain in the ass. If all you're building is the underlying technology, you NEED partnerships for an actual complete so

But that's the cost of just getting the books to your warehouse. There's the additional labor cost of unpacking them and individually shipping them, which is probably more than $3.83/book.

100-1 this was built by a bunch of young dudes. Get one female on the team, and she would have said: "uh, maybe we need a way to block people". This is why we need better diversity in tech.

No, I don't know the number of quarts in a cubic foot, but no one does because they're two different measurements for two completely different uses.

That's great. When is that EVER useful to the layperson?

For instance, while Imperial units aren't without some advantage, they are pretty generally inferior to the Metric system. You say this pretty matter of factly, but I actually vehemently disagree. Many imperial measurements are bette

Funny, because often my touchbar works, but neither my trackpad or keyboard work.

Generally, that's what I used to do, but a lot of drivers are now so dependent on the GPS that I have to give street-by-street instructions.
