I have an old iPhone XS lying around with a broken digitizer. Basically, it's recording phantom touch events all the time, making it unusable. Though the screen itself, camera, CPU etc. are all working fine. Any ideas what I can do wit

I kept reading hoping to eventually learn whats the app actually does. But it’s one euphemism after the other, plus the occasional wink to “read between the lines”. How can the author complain about Apple binning this app away in a weird ni

Can you pick even a single person that will agree with you on everything? You could be around 10 if your identical twins and there’d still be conflict. Why is it more „natural” if the school does the picking? Besides, parents can’t command

You’re commenting not on Becker’s experience, but on a headline picked by a journalist for the purpose of getting clicks. In fact, it’s probably the intention of that headlines to elicit that very response you just gave.

We used to do that on Upwork. Back in the days where one still hired human coders. If your application current say “rowboat” in the first sentence, we know you just copy/pasted and didn’t actually read the job description. Feels like a

Makes a lot of sense. I always find it super weird that people will eat soy bean products over, say, meat or cream when they’ve never seen a soy bean plant in their whole lives.

He does have a history of abandoning projects. OpenAI. Tesla. OpenAI again... Then again, it might have been the corporate stuff that burned him out rather than the engineering.

How can you have a democracy when 90% of the populous is working 12 hour days 6-7 days a week just to pay the bills? How are they going to have an opinion on anything, other than “Stuff is too expensive”.

Asking to take down a fence when you have no idea why it was put up is not smart. Neither is asking someone to “stop” Trump (and making not even a token effort to exclude violent or criminal ways of achieving that goal) based on a headline

Why capitalism? How about taxation and over-regulation? And if not that, what about envy? You could live like an Irish immigrant 100 years ago, with a wood stove and an outdoor latrine. But you’re not going to want that if everyone around y
