I’ve never had more than a sip. It’s sometimes tough, socially. But I’ve never (well, rarely) felt pressured, just “left out” sort of. But most people in my family are non-drinkers, so there’s that. I’ll probably die never having been drunk

It depends on your daily commute. If I need to drive 20 minutes with most of it on the expressway, and they’re prone to accidents and there are multiple viable routes, I’m 100% going to load it up on Maps every trip, if it will save me bein

I’m not so sure. Anecdotally, I’ve made it to a remote destination using Maps, then hopped back in the car an hour later (with no signal), and it couldn’t load anything. This seems to happen quite often.

That's assuming you have it on and updated before you hit the road. I think it's off by default, and I'm guessing most people haven't thought to turn it on, or are even aware of it.

You know it's satire from the title (and the first paragraph) because it uses terms like "fired" and "let go". Nobody uses those anymore. You're "impacted".

Something I'm not seeing discussion on: What is/were the cascading effects of this, particularly for drivers? Many people in buildings were unaffected, as they could fallback to wifi. But I imagine this had a pretty broad impact t

Maybe in rare cases, but in my experience, literals (numbers or strings) almost always have _some_ meaning where giving them a name helps readability. In my experience, it’s rare that “a number is just a number”. And sure, in those cases, n

With Mint being deprecated, I’ve been looking for something to replace it. I know there are a number of paid alternatives, but it seems like they all are missing at least one or two things that I liked about Mint. Is there an OSS option tha

Seems like this should be FP news, considering how the news has caused a nearly 3% hit to GOOG.

The world outside of social media and the internet is not necessarily worse. I think it’s just these things that have brought out the worst in people and the world. Sure, in some ways it brought people together. But I think the net result i

I’d say if you’re a professional chef, that’s a little more understandable — it’s your livelihood. But this discussion is more around what average people are looking for (e.g. smart vs. dumb appliances), and not so much about commercial app

by jader201 3y ago
Most consumers don’t need commercial-level quality for appliances. Those appliances are built to handle much more usage, and for a much longer time. E.g. a washer in a laundromat will be used probably 10x compared to a consumer washer over

I had never heard of Subzero before this post, and just looked them up. $10k-$15k for a refrigerator? I’ve only ever owned fairly “basic” refrigerators (e.g. LG or GE), that are about 1/10 of that cost, and have never had any problems
