One thing I'd like to vent about is that Scott seems to be making a lot of money selling e-mail addresses. I signed up for a couple different contests using unique e-mail addresses generated specifically for the contest (Yes, they were

Super disappointing. I knew it was coming when they tore out Dropbox and iCloud support. I paid for the new version to support them, didn't get any new features. Now merely 1.5 years after purchase, the only new feature I can recall is

There was fuel economic cars 15-20 years ago, if you've forgotten. My car is 17 years old and gets 35 mpg mixed city/highway. Some got even more (civic HX).

They don't do alarms for when you're in light sleep. It will only ring at a certain time.

Fitbits don't do smart alarms, which is what he's asking for. He wants an alarm to wake up him roughly around the end of a sleep cycle. No fitbit currently has this feature at all. I was confused since I was sure it didn't ha

I definitely get this feeling. She means Chinese food is cool, but not when she's eating it. It's trendy when someone white picks it up (mostly because they're eating things that white people are accustomed to). It's bec

Breaking ctrl+f gets my blood boiling every time I have to use a Discourse site. I've recently started to have to use one, and searching for anything is incredibly hard. Ctrl+F will bring up their own hijacked search. But by default i

The main argument seems to be that WN or AA wouldn't let it get to that point for a forceful deplaning. I'd certainly be less upset if someone was being forced off for another reason. Also, Chinese? I don't see anything on th

They said it was "the computer", but I think they just looked at the fare paid and picked the lowest ones.

It's hard for them because they make much more money overbooking since XX% of people don't show up for their flight. They make money on change fees/no-shows since they sold more tickets.

Besides Pinyin, there is Cangjie, Q9, Dayi, etc. Plenty of other input methods are well in use. Though Pinyin is most widespread due to it being the way most kids are taught Mandarine.

It's a myth insomuch that it doesn't apply 100% to all characters. It works well enough to guess the pronunciation of a character you've never seen. Or maybe a word you know how to say but don't know how to write.

In my city eggs are sold unrefrigerated in a bag or in a huge pile for you to pick from. This is in a grocery store. The wet markets sell them similarly, though I have been to them a lot less.

How does one go about getting this to work? Clicking "here" brings up a modal asking for my name and address. Entering that populates the fingerprint field in the middle tier, but then it asks for payment info.

That's part of the law. It's because foreigners need to register with the local police where they are staying. If you stay in a hotel, the hotel does it for you.

Yeah, Upwork is terrible, but that's because it is trying to compete on scale and price. It seems the idea you have is a way to pass on high-quality projects that you'd otherwise take, to someone you know and can vet. You'd l

Don't sites like upwork do the same thing? The referrer is Upwork, the fee is whatever Upwork charges. The only real difference is personal referral, but in that case, you'd probably want to actually know the person, and not have

Interesting usage of the way AWS endpoints work. I guess a lot of websites break from this, since web servers sometimes don't like traffic coming from different sources for the same "session".
