I'm sorry that the curtain has been pulled from your eyes this morning. But this has been the case for a very long time. I used to work in the home alarm industry. Nearly every company operates this way. They have big banks behind them

I think what the parent is saying here is that while it might not "technically" be debt and might not "technically" qualify as a discount, both are still occuring from any practical perspective. It smells like debt, it t

I also tried various 3rd party clients and would always end up going back to gmail's app. My dad kept recommending Spark to me and I just didn't have the energy to try another 3rd party app. I eventually gave in and tried Spark an

Since you mentioned Discord and Slack together here, I have to point out that one of the worst design choices a company can make is hide CRITICAL interaction elements behind a hover state. Slack and Discord are both incredibly guilty of thi

I honestly think that this is the main reason that Apple hides scrollbars by default. I have turned on "always visible" scrollbars before and it really does ruin the internet experience. Now I'm not sure if you blame the OS m

Wouldn't a "submit" button be located at the bottom of the form? In which case, in order to submit the form you would scroll down until you see the button, and would therefore have scrolled past all the fields? It sounds like

Yes, the edit mode (using arrows to create formulas) is actually something I really find convenient. To me it is a feature, not a bug. But yeah, F2 is fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Its like using VIM, the shortcuts seem annoyi

I don't think any westerners want the current money system to collapse either. So it is interesting to hear the perspective we give to other countries that think we want that. Trust me, no one in the US wants to see the current economi

I was watching CNBC the other day and they were doing a roundtable thing like the sports channels do. Each host was shitting on bitcoin about how terrible it is, and how millennials are stupid for liking it, and it'll go to zero one da

I agree. I think their UI is actually a little too creative at times. It has lots of whitespace and a single color and that means people will say "clean", "minimal", "modern", "artsy fartsy". But I ag

Today the pricing and services are essentially matched. Someone will obviously fight be on this statement, but I think today they are essentially equal from a cost perspective. They all run SSDs and have similar cost per RAM/CPU core.

One trick I have used to overcome this is to use a virtual card service. If you have a Capital One card, you get this for free (download "Capital One Eno" extension), but there is also Privacy.com which does the same thing linked

The new law simply removes the requirement for airports to manage their own internal transportation. So it leaves the possibility for public transit to connect riders directly to terminals, which was previously not allowed. This doesn'

You are dealing with wire-transfers here. So there isn't really a way to undo a wire transfer. The recipient would need to voluntarily create another wire transfer back to you of the same amount. So an interface like this only controls

Did you even read his question? Nowhere in the article (which I read in its entirety) does it answer the above reply's question. "Do companies consider good UI a competitive advantage when looking for a commercial bank or lender?&

Well the underlying issue was that they accidentally sent the money in the first place. The fact that they were on bad terms with their creditors meant that they couldn't correct the mistake after it happened. > The mistake wouldn&#

It is also worth noting that Raj wasn't alone in the confusion on how to perform this task. Before he could complete the transfer his boss in India also had to look at what Raj did. Then their boss in Deleware also approved the transac

Yes, that is the big takeaway here and why I just lost a ton of respect for Canonical. In Canonical's statement they never regretted using the information to contact the user. The part they regretted was TELLING the user that they are

Yes the fact that Microsoft shares this information is concerning. But Microsoft only provides the information to Canonical (according to the ToS) for technical assistance and product support, but not for Marketing purposes. Canonical is th

YouTube automatically transcribes captions for its videos. So that is why they are so funny sometimes. As a YT creator, it is possible to upload your own captions if you have any transcribed, which will then be used in place of the automati

Yep, I have to agree. I started using a mac about 11-12 years ago. Homebrew was new. At the time MacPorts was the "defacto" package manager and Homebrew was the "new kid on the block" or "experimental" one. I s

Thank you! I was very confused while reading this because the author never actually got to anything interesting. Just talks about their routine of sorting through other people's medical bills.

Yes they bill the insurance $1,944. But the insurance isn't going to pay that. Most of the insurance companies have capped COVID testing at $100. That is what they will cover because that is what the CARE Act requires them to cover. So

I recently had COVID, so I have just gone through all of the stuff in this article. You would be surprised how many "COVID Testing Sites" are scams. Pure scams. Many of them are not even able to bill your insurance, probably becau

Just to add another item to your list: 6. Pricing is almost impossible to know ahead of time, even if you ask. Trust me, I have asked how much something will cost ahead of time and no one can tell you. One time I had to go into a specialist
