In my opinion, electric blankets are a superior alternative to hot water bottles. They come in various forms such as throws, pillows and mattress toppers, and can be adjusted for temperature and don't need to be refilled. The only plac

IPOs are a pump and dump which only benefits GS and other investors who can offload their bags on retail. Even successful businesses like ABNB are not immune.

My impression was that roads were cleared first because snowplows and snowblowers would push snow to the side and it made sense to clear the sidewalk after the roads. Good on Sweden for challenging assumptions though. Especially because cit

Counterpoint: Different competencies. A UX designer telling a developer how to code would be laughed out of the room, the other way around is the same.

I recently started working with Windows 11 on my work laptop and am at the verge of asking to switch back to Windows 10. I don't see any user interface improvements, only regressions. Shades of old man shouts at cloud I know, but tha

Back when the Nexus came out, the top iPhones were selling for $599, if I recall correctly. So at $400 it was more than half, but that's splitting hairs because it was Google's flagship. By sales volume a bit player, but it occupi

Been a long time coming. I have somehow managed to avoid the virus, but I know its a matter of time. Many members of my close circle have already gotten it and recovered.

99% of developers that don't develop for Windows also seem to use and prefer Macbook Pros, so the argument "the law students don't know squat" doesn't really hold water. If my Thinkpad was not a solution, I would ha

The definition of flagship is specious at best. Recent Pixels have been coming out with budget mid-range processors and less technological prowess as compared to their brethren from Samsung etc, and the camera is at a standstill since the P

RSS has changed as well. Earlier, the RSS feed could be the entire article or blog post. Then it changed to include ads. Then it changed to a snippet of the article or just the headline with some ads. Every change made it worse for usabilit

I would add that if DD comes first, the format is usually DD.MM.YYYY. Or DD/MM/YYYY, which is more common in the UK. Rarely have I seen dashes when not following the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD standard.

The article seems like marketing-speak for Google AutoML, the title did not match the tone of the article in my opinion. A little clickbaity. Have others who have used AutoML in production comment on whether it is really killing [the need f

After our hand-me-down Bosch machine from the 1980s gave up the ghost, we decided to get another Bosch, but not because of brand loyalty. I think the mid-level machines are the best compromise between high cost brands like Miele and Maytag,

I also get the impression that Australians don't mind the power and the abuses thereof that they go through. Maybe it's the reddit bubble and the supporters are overrepresented, but someone has to be voting for these policies...

Recency bias means that everyone and their mother thinks that the market will go up forever. Meanwhile don't look at cloud stocks and Ark funds since 2021.

In general, it should be easier to meet people that you click with, when the available pool is larger. This is also the reason for online dating's rise, and why NYC has a large population of single women.

Really nice, unless you have a big-ish screen. It is jarring to have the entire screen slide back and forth, and of course a bad use of screen real estate.

A starter home in the US would be considered a dream home in many (most?) parts of the world. Garage, front yard, back yard, 3 bedrooms etc, all in a built-up area of around 1500-2000 sq ft (140-185 sq m)

There is absolutely no way I can agree with this comment or sentiment, as someone who has lived in both the US and in Europe. The US invented and perfected homogeneous city landscapes. Everywhere you go, the same buildings and the same chai

Not only that, but using the subway to move across the city is objectively faster than a car, and the balance only starts shifting to the car when your destination is outside the city and requires more than 3-4 changes.

You're not doing your argument any favors by comparing to European cities, which have great public transportation for the most part, and heavily discourage car use. The entire point of a downtown is to have everything accessible for hu

Yup at this point if you buy into the new consumer products of either MSFT or GOOG, you have only yourself to blame when they inevitably get cancelled. Stick to their cash cows if you want stability. What really hurts is of course when they

You may not like it, but your post sounded like a boomer Uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, so if you don't want that reaction, consider your words.
