They might also take it literally. Like, they might think that infinity is less than a million because they know they couldn’t physically count to a million.

Are the caps on by default? If not, they should be.

I think a lot of it is that there just aren't as many developers that know it compared to the other tech stacks. Part of the reason for that is that if you're starting out as a web developer trying to build stuff for fun, you&#x27

This sounds like they’ve hired a bunch of air marshals but don’t have much for them to do. Having them make observations on random people might be a way to make sure they’re still doing their job?

In my opinion, no. I'm on the AT&T "Unlimited Choice" plan, which is artificially capped at 3mbps and it's been totally fine for me. I can do everything I want to - check email, browse the web, check Twitter, use map

Having tried both Bird and Lime in San Jose, I definitely prefer Bird. Both the Bird app and the scooter itself provide a better user experience than the Lime app/scooter, plus there were way more of them around. I feel like Uber backe

If walkable cities are so great, why did we ever invent cars?

Put back? They've never had full sized up and down arrow keys on the MacBooks. What I miss are the half-sized left and right keys - the empty space above them made it easy to position my hand over the arrow keys without looking.

I completely agree. I'm really glad more and more places are experimenting with getting rid of servers because it has a huge potential upside for the customer experience, as well as saving both the customer and the restaurant money.

Since it sounds like you're going to save a bunch of money, I suggest letting them go and using that money to provide very generous severance packages (months of salary at least). Then they can choose to retrain themselves, take some t

With a top speed of ~12mph, the scooters are way too slow for the road. It's much safer on the sidewalks. The sidewalks in downtown San Jose are also quite wide, so there's plenty of room for pedestrians and scooters to share.

I played around with the scooters in San Jose during WWDC last week, and I have to say that I preferred the Bird ones. While the Lime ones did have a faster top speed, they were also slower to accelerate. When driving on the sidewalks there

This is the biggest problem in my opinion. It's not possible for people to transition fully to USB-C even if you want to because of the limited number of USB-C ports on computers and the inability to add any more with hubs.

Most keyless systems have a physical key backup in case stuff fails. So if the system breaks you're no worse off than a car that has a physical key. Also, in my experience, keyless systems are pretty reliable, I've never had one f

What prevents me from changing the IP that a domain points to? The registrar of that domain won't let me log in and change it without the correct username and password. No national IDs needed, or involved in any way.

by kylec 8y ago
National IDs? Lookup fees? Yikes. I like the idea, but your proposed implementation needs some work. Let's just do what we do with DNS and let anyone register a globally unique identifier. When USPS or FedEx or whomever wants to delive

I read this article a few times, but I don’t see any quotes of actual communication from either the dental insurance or the toothbrush company. If the second box contained a letter with the purported message, why not post it? If the author

It seems like there's a really obvious solution to this problem: why not just allow people to download this update, put it on a USB stick, then plug the USB into the car? For people that don't have/don't want to buy USB

Eventually, probably. But they'll still support existing Macs with new software for a while after the transition.

This depends on whether a human or a computer is setting the prices. I once lived in an apartment complex that had management software setting the prices, and one time when I got my lease renewal offer I checked the apartment's website

Chromebooks will still dominate in education because this new iPad isn’t practically different than the outgoing model. It’s the same price, the same materials (e.g. no increased durability), has no built-in or included keyboard, and while

This is the same price as the 2017 iPad - what about this one makes you want to buy it vs buying the previous model last year? edit: I guess not having pencil support last year was a dealbreaker for several people

While it’s unfortunate that the US legal system is very expensive to participate in, and this is something a lot of larger litigants use to their advantage against smaller litigants, the truth is this guy could have transferred over the dom
