Are you annoyed by people using juul sticks, or just the big cloud blowers using big battery mods? If someone were using a juul in the next cubical I doubt I would even notice.

The problem with video screenings is that as a hiring manager, the "gut feeling" that you get when you see a "good fit" is heavily biased to favor people that look, think, and act like you do. And physical attractiveness

I don't disagree with you, but I think a lot of commenters here are talking past each other. We all agree that having sex with a 17 year old girl who is being abused and manipulated by a billionaire pedophile is inexcusable. I personal

This isn't so much about React as that the expectations for web applications have skyrocketed in the last five years. Before 2012 or so you could call yourself a front end developer with good knowledge of html and CSS and little bit of

The instant feedback mechanism is just begging for someone to turn it into a GAN by writing the other half. I would absolutely love to hear that some particularly clever high school student was able to train an ML algorithm to consistently

If you've ever tried to quit smoking, you'd know that the gums and patches don't work, which is why vape pens have been so successful at getting smokers to quit after decades of patches and gums failing. It's not the amo

Perhaps your arguments would be more persuasive if you didn't immediately label anyone who disagrees with you a "fanboi".

Doesn't that apply to every company that does technical interviews? What about people with anxiety disorders? Any interview at all is discrimination.

The governments need to be held accountable but there also needs to be significant education of the population. I lived in Thailand for a few years and my Thai friends would literally just drop bags, wrappers, plastic bottles, etc. on the g

There is a significant percentage of the US population that believes any attempt at a new national ID is the mark of the beast from the biblical book of Revelations. I shit you not. These are the same people that would consider a war in the

In Austin we have smaller ride share services that were able to thrive when Uber and Lyft got kicked out temporarily. They only charged the drivers $1.00 per ride instead of 25%. Such a deal can only be dreamed of since Uber and Lyft came b

They're both far more pushy with their ads and marketing for one, but the problem I have with them in general is why do I need to sign up with a publisher and install a new app to play a game? Imagine if instead of Spotify you had to m

That's what I always told my friends when I was an expat. You can learn your girlfriend's language, but you'll never get her jokes. :)

My experience is the opposite; I always get fedex and ups packages on time, but my local usps branch frequently delivers late and often claims they attempted to deliver a package when I was home and nobody knocked or rang the doorbell.

Unfortunately this won't work for me since my prescription medication costs over $1,000/month without insurance. You can limit your trips to the doctor as long as you are young and fit, but many people don't have a choice.

Cloudflare didn't and can't "cut off” 8chan. They can stop providing CDN distribution and bandwidth services to 8chan. As it happens, 8chan's web host _did_ cut off 8chan, so you should be directing your rants at them.

Cloudflare can't block access to a website. They can protect their customers from DDOS attacks, and they happen to do it more cheaply and effectively than one could do alone. If they refuse to service a website and that website gets DD

The mods remove those posts as quickly as they can. It's impossible to prevent it when you're hosting a board that allows anonymous image uploads. No pre-approval process could keep up with the amount of content posted on a popula
