If the reason for this is that it's hard to change names, then the solution is to make it easier to change names, not to use stupid names. A given service should run on hardware/VMs that are named related to that service, and if t

I am personally not in the market for anything, because what I have works. I like the idea of adding water every time I want to make a cup of coffee. It’s what I do with my French press or aeropress after all. I have the possibly-mistaken i

I've been using the cheapest Keurig machine for I think four years now without issue. Roughly five cups a week go through that thing, and it never fails to work. I use unlicensed biodegradable k-cups. I initially bought it as backup fo

It is not at all clear that the size of the metaphorical pie is as fixed as you claim. Ideally gigabit internet will come "instead of" a few extra pounds of profit in the pockets of the builders. More likely, gigabit internet will

Encouraging rudeness is not polite, no matter what words you use. You've made yourself feel better, and made it easier for the intrusive human being to continue to rudely intrude on others. Ignoring them is best, responding with swear

This is a popular trope, but companies have already begun walking back their claims of rampant theft[0]. There are increased profits when building in more prosperous areas, so one might understand why companies choose to do so given limited

Who knows? Pretty easily 40 million like Tokyo has, and that would already be more than double the current population. Possibly much more. There are a lot of people held back by nothing but cost, so dropping prices would increase demand. Th

I have very much not noticed this. People are holding doors as much as or more than ever where I live in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. Driving seemed to be worse initially post-pandemic, but I think it has gone back to the normal pre-pandemic

Of course, companies can still target ads based on where the ad appears, so it would be silly for adult diaper companies to advertise on, say, blogs about children. Otherwise, it's just like every other form of advertising ever, yes. R

I have bought two (2) EVs, neither of them Teslas. Why not: 1. Too expensive. I grew up too poor to spend that much money on a car. I recently failed to pull the trigger on a $65k Volvo XC40, so the initial Tesla models that were even more

Twitter is optimized for engagement with twitter, specifically with advertisers on twitter. The site doesn't prioritize your tweets, it prioritizes those likely to drive further engagement (with the site, remember, not with you). Man

On the contrary, it is my certainty that there are bad people in every area of life that causes me to prefer the system with checks and balances and laws and enforcers and insurance, all of which help to protect me from those bad people. &q

Okay, we can disagree on whether the feature is better or worse, but I think we agree they didn't make windows less sticky.

I'm sorry you personally are unhappy with MacOS, truly. I don't connect my iPhone except to charge it, so I have no idea what that experience is like. Perhaps it is a disgrace. Then again, Apple made iPhone completely independent

I finally paid for Carrot Weather, and it is very much pitched as a Dark Sky replacement right now. The default (customizable) layout is a pitch-perfect Dark Sky copy, and the default (configurable) data source is also Dark Sky. It will als

But it doesn't make it less sticky, it just doesn't engage stickiness when you're moving quickly. This makes excellent sense, and is the sort of focus on user experience that Apple should be lauded for. That it marks a marg

Okay, that's twice you've taken the easy response and ignored the actual meat of critique. I think that's indicator enough that you're unserious.
