Public transit sucks. In a lot of cases if I am with a friend I can get an Uber pool or express for the same price as public transportation. I might have to pay a small premium of 50 cents at times but the convenience is far better, and no

I've seen quite a few previously open minded and intellectual people fall into an echo chamber and choose less outlets as they age. They get locked into one or maybe two similar ideological outlets and everything else is wrong.

Typically that sort of thing can't just be informed to you. There needs to be an agreement made, ie you get paid for the new circumstances. A former employer realized that continued employment doesn't count. Even in an at will sta

Stand-ups in general just seem to be a way to brag and sprints are meaningless after a while.

For some reason I thought they could sort of fly. Not high or great distances. Less then a turkey, but still in the range of a few feet.

Not really. I work with payment processing, I've got the partially obscured credit card number, usually the name and the location. Plus a bunch of other info.

If you don't give a crap about how happy your customer is, your product probably sucks. Actually it does suck.

My pixel doesn't have google+ installed. But I can use the play store. And I am not sure what spyware apps you are referring to.

I rarely bought books until I attended the first few classes. Some classes had books on the list that were never even used. Literature professors were the worst: hey go buy this book for 20-40 dollars, you will need to read about 10 pages o

If it isnt pure Android, and ships with apps you can't uninstall through normal means, it is crapware. They shouldn't be installed in the first place. And LinkedIn isn't crapware, it's shitware

Understandable, I was just referring to the enjoyable experience of the ride and nice conversation. It sure as hell beats a cab any day.

Always having one unread message and the stupid chat head interface.

Facebook has a ton of dark patterns. There is always one unread message in there shitty messenger client. Except there are zero conversations because I deleted them. And the messenger app is an incredible piece of junk, whoever did the ux w

I strongly disagree. I have had many Uber rides where I wished it took longer to get to my destination. The driver engaged in fantastic conversation. I learned from them, I got insight into the area and recommendations. Self driving seems s

Hell sometimes Amazon doesn't even require a return. They will just say keep it and send out the one you actually wanted.

I don't know if it still the case but advertising costs were previously considered r&d so grossly inflating those numbers.

Back in the 90s I got a kick out of people claiming Macs don't crash. no they just routinely locked up where you literally had to pull the plug from the wall. but that doesn't count as a crash.

LinkedIn is an HR circle jerk. Low quality posts, meaningless connections, and tons of spam from LinkedIn. They will spam your friends on your behalf. And then the person to person spam.

I tend to see Dev ops as mostly ops but a background in dev. They can step in and understand the development environment, but generally they are going to make life easier for the devs. it's an important role, but having some developer

You probably won't ever directly solve an important problem. Find a job with interesting problems you can work on. Work hard collect your paycheck. If you want to start a company to solve a problem you are now sales person first. The t

I must be missing something but making fake checks, with fake banking information is a felony. What am I missing? The links don't explain how this criminal.

So he started committing a felony? That doesn't seem like a great idea, interstate bank fraud gets you investigated really quickly.

Pretty easy, private corporations are different than public non profit organizations. Football stadiums may weasel into non profit. But it is absolutely a for profit organization. I've never been to a library that requires an ultra exp

If anything stadiums should have an additional tax. If the team threatens to leave, the response should be "whatever, you already cost us enough money"

This is dead on. You could approach directly but it's probably better to bring up issues with someone else first then escalate to the CEO if necessary. Flat organization means you can go directly, but you probably shouldn't. So th

I honestly don't believe flat organizations exist. They claim to be but there is always an informal heirachy. Which is trickier to navigate then just having a bit of structure. No need to go overboard but at least formalize what exists

I'm not saying it was perfect, but it was far better than Outlook. And I have never once had to purchase recovery utils for Thunderbird, but to fix the fragile pst Outlook uses. I cant even count the number of times I had to do recover

Interesting, I know someone in that line of work. They've never had a problem with apples aggressive security measures. Phone is repaired and shipped out.

I always thought the search was excellent when I used it. At one point I had a 100k of emails. But I could find what ever I needed. Meanwhile Outlook failed with a certain local file size limit and caused endless problems. They were apparen
