Totally anecdotal. Should have been clearer on that. When we are working with a consultant or someone else in a sharing context, Google docs is practically assumed.

More and more people are using Google docs instead of Ms office. How do you get away from having a Google account to edit a shared doc that another company or consultant had shared with you? Keep a dummy account just for these instances?

That's partly because AMD is not able to compete at the high end, allowing Nvidia to set high prices. If you check out the rumors on the AMD Reddit regarding Navi GPU in 2019, there's a chance we'll be able to purchase a mid-

I have the book and the argument is on pg. 33-34 in my edition: 1. There exists a moral law within ourselves that instructs us on what we "ought" to do. 2. There must be a "mind" behind this force, as "you can hard

Even if the relationship starts all well and mutual, it can go sour. Then power dynamic come into play and the institution suffers. The only way to guarantee a safe environment is to prohibit these relationships.

Breitbart is no worse than NY Times or WaPo? I gather you have doubts about climate change also.

This was true until recently. A new product has come out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FCZY1ZB/ I bought this for my essential phone two weeks ago and it does actually work, like reviews state. It&#

Of all thought experiments, I've found the billion workers communicating with 1 and 0's to be the strongest illustration of the mind/body problem. It is just absurd at that point to believe consciousness could reside there. I

Wider aperture means bigger lens, especially zoom. This can be a negative for the non-professional who wants to minimize size/weight when travelling or just walking around town, especially if they already have a smaller, mirrorless bod

Humans have moments like this too. I remember suddenly driving into dense fog on the freeway and not able to see more than 20 feet in front of me. I had a definite "failure mode" where I slowed down and freaked out because all my

Everyone is different, but it feels like a weight is lifted off my shoulders when I get rid of stuff I don't need or can't justify keeping. Marie Kondo wrote a book on this: The Japanese Art of Decluttering. https://www

To put 200 gigawatts into perspective, the largest US nuclear power plant generates 4 gigawatts. The US total generating capacity in the summer is 1000 gigawatts.

I've used CS2 for many years, but the UI glitches with Windows 7/10 have gotten very annoying. I stumbled on Affinity a few weeks back and bought a $50 license after just a few hours of demoing it. It is very good. Much better IMH

That would be very unfair. Obama was Illinois senator for 3 terms, elected to US Senate in landslide, president of Harvard Law School, attorney, professor, liked by everyone who knew him, great listener, worked across the aisle, etc. So yes

I'm just saying how I'm running things now. Totally open to better ways. Right now I pay $135 for a two year wildcard cert (very small business here). It takes 1 hour of my time to update the cert for all these applications. 1 hou

I'm in the same boat. I haven't found a guide for an easy and flawless way to automate cert renewal with letsencrypt when you use multiple services over different servers. For my wildcard, I use the same cert for: 1. Ubuntu VPS #1

I had the Nexus 5 until last month. Was nearly a perfect phone. Unfortunately the battery couldn't make it through a day (even with light usage), and you can't find a good replacement; replacement batteries are either OEM forgerie

I would best describe it as playful thought, not as much slow thought. The philosophical response may be slow, but often because the mind plays with thought in its head before arriving at a response. Play is quite fast and meandering, as th

I don't use NPM (or community managed package managers in general), but anyone know why there isn't an LTS feature with packages? So that, when searching packages, if a package is flagged as LTS, you know that it and all its depen

I am in the same boat. Need additional storage for less random-access demanding data, like photos/videos. If you check the Linode forums, they have begun to work on block storage option, like Vulr/DO. But it is still early in the

Those looks much more in-depth than we are looking for. Sharepoint datasheets lets you create, manage, and view datasets completely inside sharepoint. An end user, for instance, could create dataset of (for instance) company inventory. They

I feel your pain. As a tiny business we are still using old and obsolete WSS 2.0 on a Windows 2003 server. We looked into hosted sharepoint last year but the thing is so slow and cumbersome, it drained all happiness from my life. You can sm

I used to love the idea of a device without fans or spinning hard drive. But the last two "silent" tablets I've had randomly made very faint, but annoying, high pitch squeaking. Vibrating capacitors, I think. So ironically, I

I hope this happens too. The MVMO Ting is closest I have seen to this. $6/mo each device and data/voice/SMS usage is pooled.
