IMO-- In so many ways, America needs to start understanding that solutions to these problems have been explored and, just possibly, greater progress achieved in other countries... progress can be gleaned by studying outcomes from those coun

It's a pretty significant cost-calculation change, and thought the charge may not land yet, it'll probably land later on. Also, a lot of people manage MC accounts for clients, so this will be a head's up discussion in those e

I may lack the imagination to see how VUI will be the predominant interface paradigm for computing. People often need to stop speaking, and often ask for silence, when they need to think. Thinking and Talking is definitely a useful modality

And hence, some weight in the skills/judgement of the interviewer. Which is also why there are usually multiple stages in an interview process, or at least, you pass a candidate to 3 or more team members to interview the candidate. In

All of these metaphors are pretty temporal. It changes so often I’m not sure we “solve” it. I taught community college for a spell, computers 101. When you go back to the very beginning and have to explain desktops and folders and files and

There’s no longer anything that qualifies as intuitive design, and training isn’t really enough. I say this as someone who’s been designing and using computers since the Osborne 1, who can’t use his own iPhone 7 when my girlfriend gives it

Tough... I agree with pedal placement. I was probably more prone to occasionally stalling in intersections, but then I took the car to SF and drove there and got the feel dialed-in real quick. I've since bought newer cars and gave this

Tried Harry's. Couldn't make it through one shave. Ended up back with the Big G. For whatever reason, it's the only razor that doesn't 1) cut up my face, and 2) leave me with razor burn on my chin and neck.

I've owned many VWs and Audis, and the 2008 Jetta I bought (albeit with a manual transmission) is still going strong. Not a single service issue, to date. It must have almost 200K miles.

I tend to favor Apple over Google, and am more inclined to use Apple hardware than any Google/Pixel hardware, and I have no devices that have always-on mics (aside from my iPhone), but... Apple News is already less usable and readable

> Changing the tasks due email to be delivered a day earlier should be a one-line change. How could that take 4-8 hours? This is what's in dispute? Something else in the relationship is wrong.

If those people are having a moment, and not to be dismissed out of hand because in their moment they happen to be staring at their phone, it can be a lost opportunity. Recently, I've observed that you're more likely to meet someo

I recommend Wendler's 5/3/1. You can buy it on Amazon. If you want an app, start with StrongLifts 5x5. He has a website, too.

Agreed. But if Teams comes with Office365, Slack may have trouble getting CEOs to pay more per-user monthly fees. And I pay for both Office365 and G Suite at my business, and Google just invited me to Currents. I know better than to dump so

I used to run my own mail server and spam assassin, and felt pretty comfortable ignoring the Spam folder. Now that I live in a lot of Gmail accounts, the Spam folder is just another folder I have to check on a weekly basis.

I don't know about breaking up Facebook, but I'd be happy if Instagram were spun back out (though, the founders are gone). I'm someone who deleted their Facebook account. In short, the reach and impact they have, given their
