The problem is that drivers rarely maintain the safety distance they should have to not endanger themselves. BUT in that case, the car should have also noticed if there were near traffic behind. Doing nothing in that case doesn’t seem the r

But do you have counter examples? Because here, we see one more from Google, while Apple has had a much better track record so far that confirms this view that they are walking the talk, too.

You don’t need to guess, it’s been documented. Most have impossible schedules. Ugly industry, and it would be costly to make it less ugly. So we all look away.

Interesting report! Did you weight in this - the bad developers are most likely to interview many times, so they appear often to you? Talents either get advised into a new job or stay where they are, because many shops know they are valuabl

Is the new battery life still not good enough for you? Also please all saying this is only "design". This is design made from user problems. Apple is a master at solving actual user problems, and that's why they are so succes

Fine watches are only limitedly used as status symbol. Look at forums.watchuseek.com for afficionados who prefer keeping their watch for them - collecting them for example. Also note that, if you are unfamiliar with watches, you might not s

The administrator gets a report immediately. Also the server environment is much more in control. Been there, done that, the author has a lot of good points. Partial server rendering is rock solid and so much faster. Not looking back.

Yes, similar case for Google... Looking at some countries where Google has 90% market share, when you are deleting something from Google, you are effectively mostly deleting the content page itself - at least reducing the discovery by a fac

They'll think they do, but they won't really. Research is showing clearly that 60 hours a week is not sustainable longer than a couple months. Afterwards, you get less efficient than if you only worked 40 hours. http://

I think welfare is only one tool against poverty, far from being the whole solution. Actually nordish countries have many more tools against equality, like health coverage and free education. Welfare, even in those countries, is the last &q

Right. I know the Hodinkee blog well actually, and I agree with you. I was just pinning on the first part of the article, where he compares the Apple Watch with sub-350$ watches.

One thing the author is missing: the prices begin at 350$. The milanaise strap he shows might be worth as much alone. For 350$ you probably get the cheap sport watch, while the beautiful ones might cost a good 1000. Which makes the wealth
