This sort of crap happens at least 50% of the time when I get something delivered by Amazon's delivery people. Those guys are just blatantly lying about when they deliver packages, and it is getting worse not better. Very rarely ever h

I'm still mystified by what supposed competitive edge the Apple Card is supposed to have. Its rewards program is pretty mediocre, and virtually every Visa/MC/Amex supports Apple Pay seamlessly as is. I'm pretty bought in

I used to work at an email service provider that managed email marketing campaigns for some pretty large companies. It's been quite a number of years now, but I don't imagine things have changed all that much. Mostly, it's ju

Exactly! I'm not saying that Strava needs to constantly reinvent itself and add groundbreaking new features and changes -- I'd prefer they don't! But there have been the same long list of bugs, quirks, and limitations for lit

Strava has been stagnating for years at this point. I used to really love their site, and I've still been a pretty active user, but I can't even remember the last time they introduced a meaningful new feature or improvement. And t

If one argues in favor of "free market" solutions for healthcare, then one MUST argue in favor of pricing transparency. A functioning free market requires the open and honest sharing of price information for consumers to make info

Note that this is only average base salary, not total comp. I imagine that this skews low when looking at public tech companies that pay out significant amounts of total comp in stock grants and bonuses. Not unusual to get 50% or more of to

I used to work for a consulting/contracting company, with 6-10 reports at any given time. I was responsible for reviewing and approving their time sheets. Except that, due to the nature of the business, I didn't see or even commun

That isn't an effective solution on a corporate network that depends on internal name resolution. And FWIW I run into the same DNS-like issues with Firefox on my home network, which uses Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS. Perhaps it is som

Route, perhaps (though I personally like to mix it up), but if the right lane of a 3-lane highway is backed up due to an offramp that isn't yours, I imagine you'd move over one lane to get past it! That's what doesn't ha

The biggest flaw in C:S traffic flow, even with the popular traffic improvement mods, is that routes and lane choices are pre-calculated when the vehicle departs and don't really take into account alternative routes/lanes or curre

I just left my company that swore up and down that they work hard to pay competitive market salaries. They claim to have all this fancy compensation market data compiled by experts. I don't know why they trust this data so much, but it

My iPhone 8 works on a regular fast-charging Qi pad, I'd hope that the Airpods are the same way.

What I also find funny is that hardly anyone interviews or vets consultants and contractors the same way they do employees. I've been brought in as an "expert" on all sorts of things, with hardly any interviewing. Just show u

It's obviously location dependent, but in most any booming US city (Seattle, Denver, Austin, etc.) a junior dev should be making at least 80k unless they are truly green.

There are a lot of aerodynamic controls that are integrated into the ring at the top of the booster. The capsule needs to be detached in order for them to work appropriately. Also, safety.

If you are buying more than a small handful of things, they continually beep and complain about the bagging area as things shift around or have to get moved to make room. And even worse if you are using your own bags.

There's very few incompatibilities from the 2.0 release onward. A few minor things here and there, and a few deprecations, but by and large most everything that worked in 2.0 should still work in 5.0.

Sounds like prices need to rise then in order to compensate labor enough to do the job in the first place. Or robots, I guess.

You know, I had a desktop build of a similar vintage (late 2008) until recently. High quality for the time - C2D E8500 with 8GB of RAM, newer SSD and video card. I said exactly that, "things haven't changed much since then".

Exactly this. Plus dealers don't ever stock any, either, so you have to special order as well. I'd be fine special ordering, but seems most people are not willing to wait. I'm a diehard manual enthusiast, but nearly all of th

It's also legal, in some states at least, to briefly exceed the speed limit while passing on a 2-lane highway. For example, in Washington: http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.61.425
