You've never accidentally slept through an alarm before? Why not have a backup plan just to be extra sure? That sounds perfectly responsible to me.

Why bother with installing anything? Run your browser in private mode for everything except a few websites you trust. Done.

Oh okay I'll just call up my 70 year old dad and tell him this, since it's such an accessible option for 70% of the population. Fact of the matter is, while nearly every single obnoxious facet of the tech world can be worked aroun

It might be interesting to see a form of encoding that removes similar-sounding letters/numbers as well. No more "A" or "J", "B" or "D", "3" or "T" confusion. Just stuff with

I know I'm late to the party, but... Amazon abuses many of their workers, they've been dangerous to small businesses in any area they move into, and they're contributing significantly to the wealth inequality problem. Google

They specifically chose the name "Scouts BSA" because changing the name from "Boy Scouts of America" would effectively require an act of congress. BSA were given a special legal status WAY beyond what normal copyright

A hell of a lot faster than that. If you can save 50% of your income (which is very easy to do for the vast majority of people in dev positions or those making similar money), you can retire in your 50s. 40s if you're really aggressive

My favorite manager was a commander when I was in the military. He was easily the best leader I've ever worked for, hands down. The man was sharp as hell - he always seemed a step ahead of everyone around him. He'd sit us down and

Can't have you working remotely - the rules say so! Better to get rid of someone who was productive enough to stick around two years and also has (now) tons of domain knowledge than to keep this already-proven success going.

I'm so tired of the narrative that these highly-educated people vote on matters that they have no understanding of. They know exactly what they're voting for, and say whatever is necessary to convince everyone that they're

It's possible his job is JUST to write these rejection letters. He gets feedback forms from all the interviewers, compiles them, reviews them, condenses them, touches them up, then sends them out. That could easily be a full-time job f

I don't have a guess for you, but there's a subreddit called r/TipOfMyJoystick that might be able to help you figure this out if you're curious enough.

What's wild is the fact that Nintendo has consistently innovated in unexpected ways pretty much the entire time they've been around. Whether it's control schemes, new takes on mobile gaming, their camera controls for 3D gamin

I never wanted to "waste money" on a mac, but I feel like Apple takes user privacy seriously, and I'm genuinely considering making the switch from Windows just to support that practice. I dunno, maybe that's silly, but i

I'd be very interested to see numbers on the success rates of lookalike phishing sites once people get used to AMP and stop checking URLs to see if they're in a valid location. I wonder if you could somehow track this with google
