Those four companies he cites (Matter-App, Adcellerant, Symplicity, Bidsight) that tell you to spend x hours, then tell you "hey, but y'know, if you want to do [an open-ended number of additional hours for free], that'd be gr

Sounds like there's still a very reasonable amount of support even after this. I expected the FAQ to tell me that I wouldn't be able to play games online or get updates or achievements after July, but it's really just buying

In grad school, when we had the keys to the lecture hall, we'd just check out a few projectors from the school library and have Halo 2 parties on the weekends in the big auditorium. Nobody got hurt, plenty of nerds got fragged though.

I dunno, I think the phishing scammers could just copy the banner and change the "how you know" part to include a big green check mark that says "this site was verified to be the real USPS". I don't think most peopl

On a motorcycle? Not to me. Maybe to others. I would interpret the "made" in "made in USA" as referring specifically to the manufacturing of the physical bike.

FYI, you are entitled to a refund in the U.S. if your flight is delayed significantly. As of last week, it's 3 hours for domestic flights, or 6 hours for international. The refund is automatic. It's been true for a long time that

If 4 out of 5 parts were made in the country, and the bike was assembled in the country, it does not bother me to claim the bike is made in the USA. For a complex assembly with hundreds or thousand of pieces, there's some wiggle room,

Remote work was around before covid, and it will still be around after covid. More companies are remote-only or remote first now than were around before 2020. I have no statistics. I'm basing this on looking for remote jobs in 2017 and

It's really easy for me to imagine my government being run worse than it is today. But anyway, it's a fallacy to think that just because something is bad, replacing it with just anything at all would be an improvement. The thing y

If I had any illusions that big tech could run the world better than anybody else, I'd be more sympathetic to this position. I'd love to see a tech company try to function in a world where they can't just lay people off, or p

I'm fully in support of net neutrality, but I'm somewhat surprised they're restoring it, as I have not really heard a peep about it since it was repealed in the first place. From my perspective, nothing about the internet cha

I can't buy an argument about there being too many options. If there were a lot of options, and you liked a lot of them, you could just randomly sample new albums, or listen to whatever Spotify told you to listen to, and there would be

The best manager I ever had was an ex-McKinsey consultant. Extremely empathetic, super competent, good dude. I have not worked with him for years but still text him for advice, and he delivers. I suppose that there are people who left McKin

This can be true at the same time the parent comment is. Advantages can be short-lived. I suppose the key is just not to take them for granted, or be surprised when they disappear.

Counterpoint: after taking a big hit during the pandemic years of 2020-2022, global book sales are climbing again. Sales are down compared to the years before 2019, but the trend recently has been positive, especially for audio and e-books.
