Who says plastic grocery bags are single-use, though? Many people re-use them for dog/cat waste disposal, as laundry bags when traveling, packing material, soiled diaper disposal, for coating meat prior to cooking, etc. Now those peopl

Wonder how they calculate this with any accuracy. They can't see the time you spend comparison shopping on other online sites to see if you're getting a good deal. (which you usually aren't - Target and Costco, for example,

I do this as well. As an end-user, I actually find some telemetry useful to diagnose things like: * Apple Watch battery cycle count (not viewable in any UI but is viewable in telemetry logs) * Clues about why a particular app recently cras

The bottom line up front, I agree with. But I'm not sure why I would use giant ACTION KEYWORDS like "DECISION" or "COORD" in any of my subject lines, ever. Why would you want to lend a cold, impersonal, robotic ton

The solution here is to stay out of the merge lanes unless you need to merge. And if you do need to merge, do so at the merge point, as per http://trafficwaves.org/seatraf.html

Exactly. I'll speak into my AirPods "Hey Siri, 30 minute outdoor walk" to start a 30 minute workout on my Apple Watch. Half the time, Siri replies with "I'm sorry, you don't have an app for that. You can try

I've actually had this with Siri. I've asked about the wind and Siri gave me the definition of wind. Other times it will tell me the wind speed. Other times, for the same query, it will tell me the wind speed AND direction, which

Curious if the address is correct in Apple Maps? With Apple, I've submitted perhaps 5 corrections for 5 different (usually minor) problems in 5 years. Problems like a place claims to take Apple Pay when it doesn't. Or the actual

You can replace Caffeine with Amphetamine. Some minor aspects of Dragthing can be replaced with Siracusa’s app Switchglass. As for Overdrive, does Libby work on the Mac?

It's interesting that Mr. Bray is declining to post comments on his site that are even slightly constructively critical of some of the things he's advocating for in this post. (Can anyone find a non-congratulatory or even slightl

Sure, another example: “... a number of American cities have passed “living wage” laws, which are essentially local minimum wage laws specifying a higher wage rate than the national minimum wage law. Their effects have been similar to the e

On living wages in particular: "A 2003 Cato Institute study cites data showing job losses in places where living wage laws have been imposed. This should not be the least bit surprising. Making anything more expensive almost invariably

It should probably be noted in the title that this is a podcast. A 93 minute podcast with no transcript or even timestamps. No too-long-didn't-listen summary.

Yes, if you want it to. Looking at my notifications screen in the app, it can notify about "D Window Events", and you can even specify the minimum angle of interest. It can also notify upon solar noon, sunrise and sunset (not the

What kind of "full data" would you want from the customer? Earlier, you mentioned their name. Why can't the customer's transaction be as anonymous as possible, if they choose to be? It seems as if Amazon, likely prodde

I have a Kuhl zip-up fleece hoodie - a large phone fits in every pocket. There are zippers on the pockets to keep the phone from falling out. It's by far the most comfortable hoodie I own, even though it isn't very attractive.

Competitors to Zoom, for example, WebEx, have even more vulnerabilities than Zoom. Count the CVEs on cve.mitre.org. The small players haven't been poked as hard.

I booked a clearly non refundable flight with an airline prior to the pandemic. The airline did the right thing and refunded (to a credit usable until Spring 2021) it a couple days ago. I would expect Airbnb to do the similar. It might be
