Another name for the gadgets is 'precision cooker'. You have perfect control over the temperature of the meat. So, you'll end up with perfectly tender meat, every time. I don't use my sous vide often, but when I do the r

For those like me that love the mac trackpads, but experience wrist pain from the bad ergonomics I recommend a gel mouse pad. The gel elevates the wrist to provide better ergonomics.

On the flip side you are bailing out a company for neglecting to have a disciplined security practice and a failure to build and execute their disaster recovery plan. Rather than bail out the company perhaps nationalizing it is the better r

Except when you bought Pokémon cards did Nintendo get detailed tracking on how you played? Did the cards change in subtle ways to addict you further? What is fundamentally different now versus then is the the data you are handing over and t

OMG, I wonder if this is why Trump has his own charities that also happen to make frequent donations of paintings!?

I think the next layer is cross platform bridges. Look at multi-platform products like ms office and how slow they run on a Mac. I suspect because there is a translation layer to bridge win32 calls to Mac equivalents. And that seems like it

And this is why legacy code is such a nightmare. Compound unnecessary optimizations like this over a decade and it’s impossible to understand the data in the DB or how to safely refactor the code without breaking some weird corner case that

That’s intentional. It’s so that the salesperson can use messaging to guide you to whatever machine they have the best margins on.

I have keys, yet I don't consider it a large enough problem to spend $30 to solve. However, once covid ends I would consider buying one of these for my laptop bag.

Fair question. The problem is as patient's we've never gone through the experience before and are totally unprepared for what it's going to be. From the beginning all we know is that path A ends too soon, and path B has a cha

Yes there can be gratuitous screenings. Something that, I understand, happens often in the US system due to risk of law suits and patients with good insurance demanding they take every precaution possible. But I’m quite confident that we ha

That reminds me. A loved one died of cancer. All involved would have preferred that they died in 6 months instead of 2.5 years. Because the final 2 years of their life was filled with painful treatment that left everyone involved stressed,

From the abstract the US has 0.7% higher survival rate than Australia. Which I wouldn’t be surprised turns out to be within the margin of error. Regardless, in Australia fewer will reach that cohort because preventive measures through unive

It wouldn't take much for that reality to be distorted and end up leaving some people with the impression that Amazon has security cameras watching who votes. That's going to suppress the vote and potentially alter the outcome. Ju

Just the rumour of "Cameras are recording who votes" could significantly alter the willingness of people to vote.

I felt this way when Apple removed ‘Computer’ from their name. Years later we see that it wasn’t just a name change but alignment to their company strategy. I’m cautiously optimistic that Volkswagen is signaling a similar change in their mi

Did you watch the video? The Volkswagen faired as ‘safe as a car’. It was the other manufacturers that failed miserably. My conclusion from watching is that it seems like safety is a design problem that not every mfg designed for.

I agree that the best may not benefit much from KPIs. But what about the average and below average performers? That’s where process and KPIs can really help drive performance improvements.

Visible scrollbars are unnecessary with proper design. Eg. Reading the Twitter thread I intuitively know that I can scroll to see more because the last line of text is partially cut off by the edge of the screen. This signals to my brain th

This is not banning a book. This is the rights holder (a sizeable corporation) making a business decision to stop publishing a book.

Sure, but we are seeing more services that benefit from faster upload. Eg. Video conferencing, cloud storage. So we have more use cases than ever before that benefit from symmetric speeds.

But now you’ve added weight and need to remove something else. As a tangent, I remember a talk from Grady Booch where he put software cost in terms of mass that needed to be added to your rocket. So every new feature cost weight by requirin

What’s left unsaid is that not just the CEO, but every manager down the line has made it clear that it’s okay to toss the blame down the line. Every individual contributor in that company has just learned that they need to cover their ass f

I see this as a test of government. A well functioning government will iterate on their laws and see what they got right/wrong and improve it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a GDPR 1.1 that patches some of the things they got wr

I’ve read that the reason is to extend playtime for as long as possible to limit resale market. Maybe with the advent of digital purchase (and the death of selling your used copy) we’ll see a return to designing games for fun.

Insulin’s patent was not enforced. Volkswagen gave their seatbelt patent to competitors. There is a history of life saving technologies being made available for free. So, we do in fact have a history of foregoing profit to save lives.
