If they spent the same amount of time and attention on their UI as they do on ads, maybe my 3.5 yo TV wouldn't take 3 seconds to register a button press on the remote.

Autistic people have gifts and personalities just like everyone else does. People I know often have found a diagnosis liberating because they can often then identify the ways that being autistic has caused them friction with non-autistic so

They do tend to be pretty credulous. This one, in particular, is written by a guy running a company selling this technology.

The commenter was responding to someone talking about spy work in East Germany, a post that, despite being about something that also happened 50 years ago and a continent away, is the top comment under an article about China. Is you think o

The password reset field accepts a certain character but the login form sanitizes it differently so it won't be accepted. Or even trying to set a password with that character results in an "HTTP 50x error something went horribly w

The only thing this addresses is Denton's city debt from an exploded power bill. It doesn't add any generation, and even if the generated crypto income was used to pay for new generation it would almost certainly have to go throug

I find the social graph stuff frustrating, even though I generally like Bandcamp (fingers doubtfully crossed). Using the app or the online streaming requires an account that can't be opted out of the social graph, and this makes your B

The exercise of putting together job descriptions and requirements should be enough to narrow it down to probably fewer than 3 Roles.

The way I have seen this addressed, in a way that seems fair and forthright to me as an applicant, is to create titles with job descriptions and requirements and minimum salaries for those titles, and advertise that you are looking to fill

I know you're facilitating a conversation about key discipline, and I don't mean to derail you from that, but it's not clear that the problem here was really an inaccessible wallet. You can read the Ontario government report

In this case it depends if people being charged for decrying the military are the same people who supported the laws under anti-ISIS justification. I suspect it's the other way around. "Leopards ate my neighbors face, says lady wh

Yeah, the implication being that white Christians making white-only churches in the name of Christianity would be pretty offensive, and by analogy cis women making their own women's spaces that specifically exclude trans women in the n

Can you outline how this is supposed to free us from car-centric infrastructure? Unless it's coupled with style kind of Uber-subscription dystopia we would still need room to park all of these vehicles. While downtown parking can be a

When I first got my own car insurance I went with the agent who had previously been handling insurance when my car was on my parents' plan. It was through a State Farm Bureau, and the agent kept trying to push me to buy coverage for th

I think it's pretty naive to think that the only people to vote for, campaign for, and work for Trump were "dumb". Plenty of "smart" people made decisions between supporting, campaigning for, working for, or defendi

In power systems there is a number called the capacity factor that is used to relate the average actual output to the nameplate capacity over whatever time interval. In this article the author note that they are expecting 600Wh in a day, or

Replying to myself because I misremembered some of the particulars: The Environmental Impact Assesment was initially done for the rocket launch facility in 2014. All improvements and changes have been conducted as small or incremental chang

Sure, but when the smoke is bad enough to create bad air quality over half a continent away I think it's more than a "you chose to live in the wrong place" problem.

They are also skirting a full environmental review by getting it initially approved as a fuel processing plant only and then getting incremental additions approved under a process with less oversight. So while the plan was always to have a

Depends what "promotes" means. They don't provide separate Apple accounts for employees, so among other things, if you don't link your personal account to your work phone you're either paying twice for any services

Sure. A person's existence may "be political" in certain spaces and not others, and it is helpful and necessary to be able to sort out where your existence challenges other people, whether it should, and whether you are proje

So have you encountered this phrase before or not? If not, why are you so confident that the person you are talking to is the exemplar of some hyperbolic, overreactive activist and not, say, someone talking about an experience you are unfam

"Insane" is a pretty charged word for a person deeply concerned about jumping to the most caustic framing possible. I can't say that I know how every person means the things they say, but "my existence is political"

Nearly all hydrogen is currently being produced from fossil fuel feedstocks because it's way cheaper (and less energy-intense). It's certainly possible to create hydrogen infrastructure to complement renewable energy sources and e
