Is Zoom here to stay or is video conferencing here to stay? Google Meets and MS Teams are pretty good and built into their respective Office suite products.

Even now, they can use a Square wireless terminal and you wouldn't know if its hooked up to their personal iPhone or what.

I noticed a bigger increase in www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars submissions in the last year or so. People are really driving like idiots in traffic, let alone what they do on empty roads in the middle of nowhere. Looks to me like th

If it helped the wineries and vineyards survive, I guess its the lesser of the two evils. Given that the other wine-drinking regions probably didn't want to import new world grapes to make wine with.

Washing your hands implies rubbing them together under running water. Definitely not just letting water run over them. So you're going to need some friction to get the area clean. You could just wet some TP and wipe with that, to me th

It is incredible how wasteful the corporate and bureaucratic world is, all the while individual consumers are exhorted to give up random things in the name of doing good for the environment. "Carbon footprint" my @ss.

Inflation, at least due to energy prices, is only just getting started. We're in a commodity supercycle since 2020.

You could also take 17 people on the van without taking their luggage through an X-ray machine and they could take liquids on board. Doesn't seem to be a good parallel.

Lots of rose-colored spectacles in this thread about Japan. Lest we forget that it is a society like any other with its pros and cons and its idiosyncrasies. I live in Germany, possibly #2 for fax machine usage by ossified civil servants an

In terms of monetization, isn't it more profitable to sell ads to decision-makers aka older people, than to kids and teens?

Down 25% or so, currently. Would you buy at this point? Why or why not?

Its cute that people still think that all of the data that Google and Metabook are amassing is used to sell them toothpaste.

Bold of you to assume there was anything to be ruined. The entire subreddit consists mostly of stupid-as-rocks "Due Diligence", screenshots of accounts showing off big gains and losses, and memes.

Most of Google's consumer-facing decisions the last few months seem to be driven by, "we've got the data we needed and the market position we wanted, now you've got to pay for the things that used to be free."

I liked your article, you don't need to cover every edge case imho. Its on people who want to take inspiration from your script whether they apply it like a sledge hammer or a goldsmith's tool.

Yep, it is definitely not encouraging. If there is a deflation event that I am looking for, it also won't be easy to get a loan to actually buy a cheap property and it'll be hard to keep a job to pay the mortgage. But what can you

Google can't fool me twice. I have an Android tablet and it is disappointing in every respect. My next tablet will either be an iPad or not a tablet at all.

In recent years, house prices have gone up faster than most people's ability to save up a down payment (barring 0 down offers). So let's say you wanted to save 20% for a down payment and closing costs. That 20% was growing faster
