I mean, if you are in Windows already you should be using Snip at least since Win7. It has cropping, window snap, and basic annotation, in addition to capture save and copy.

There might technically be enough politicians to fill all available positions, but there clearly aren’t enough for a competitive and diverse ideological landscape.

I think the limiting factor is traditionally considered the lack of new productive (physical) labor, not necessarily lack of new brains.

What? Around Potrero Hill, Gus’s is a third of the size of Safeway and half the size of Whole Foods, and that might still be generous. If you know what you are looking for a Gus’s trip takes less time on the merit of taking less walking th

These are users who have a very competitive alternative and have no incentive to whip up the fix themselves. Usually the way it goes is an open source advocate asks why a user doesn’t use gimp, and the user has reasons xyz, then the advocat

My girlfriend liked the mini, but didn’t get it partially because it doesn’t feature the 3 cameras. As long as the mini is positioned as a down brand phone, even for technical reasons, some of the interested market is excluded

Shellac is just a varnish/coating, so the implication is Google features are metaphorically painted on the phone hardware and software and you just need to scrape it off.

No, the solution is to pay nurses better. There are already tons of high quality nurses who don’t want to do it anymore because of poor pay in the face of demanding hospitals and patients.

Food and water benefit from bulk transport to cities up to the last mile or less. Outside of cities everyone needs to travel individually to get food (growing up it was 5 miles and for some often much more!)

Nuclear doesn't require batteries for overnight power. It's an energy dense, clean process, where the primary externality is some nuclear waste.

Dropping a pin close enough on mobile to get 100 points was really difficult. I probably was only able to average like 12m accuracy even though the pin appeared to be in the correct place every time. I also did my area twice and around 6&#x

I don’t know where you live, but as the article mentions, all you really need is a good u lock or two and thoughtful placement of the bike. Avoid secluded areas and minimize the lockup time if it seems like a risky area.

Franchisees still benefit from the supply chain. Even if individual stores wouldn't be subsidized by the company, they benefit from brand recognition and already operating at the price floor for food you dont make yourself.

It depends on if X% of customers decide the sandwich isn't worth more than $11 and the reduced demand reduces the overall profit. Whether they can afford it or not, many consumers have a psychological value they place on a sandwich.

Yea sure, but you ignore that Chipotle and McDs have magnitudes larger supply chain optimizations, cash reserves, and operate in high and low cost markets such that there is more margin to keep the business afloat when there is a squeeze.

Someone has to pay the bills. I don’t think receiving money to do a review is inherently wrong, there are just too many products to afford to review, but having a rigorous process to eliminate or expose bias is important. However, it does s

It would seem to me founders, technical or not, would be well suited to management positions with a lot of control/freedom since that is likely not so different from starting a business, except scaled up.

I agree that society doesn’t want to touch this issue because it impedes freedom of mobility in a car oriented country. I would be in favor of 5-10 year relicensing requirements and higher license fees to incentivize higher quality drivers.

Lowering the speed limit doesn’t make sense if there are wide streets with wide lanes (more comfortable to drive in) and no enforcement. In SF it would be preferable to reduce street width in reality or artificially with protected bike lane

As a layman there are probably few theories behind this statement: 1. The plane is not an energy monolith, any part of the plane larger than the building (eg wings) would have its own inertia which continues to rip off and around the build
