Apple Maps has a long way to go on biking directions. Today on the Chicago waterfront I selected biking directions and it just said “unavailable” I do like the contextual directions on Apple Maps they say “at the next signal turn left” but

I had an ex that was in all honesty was a horrible employee. I feel bad for anyone that ever worked with her. She was always qualified for the job but a nightmare doing actual work. She came to me with some project that her boss asked her t

Yea honestly I think a reasonable fear (at least I can relate). I have been van-life the past year and have seen my fair share of ticks. Just general advice that has been effective for me (I’m sure you can probably find this online) Before

Came here to see a google article's comments, to explicitly see if an extremely predictable comment would still be here as it always is... Alas it is.

Yep, I think this was a small win for the opponents of CFAA but this is a total show of force of the supreme court. This law is famously broad and to interpret it in its literal sense would mean the mass majority of the nation would be fede

The one that got me was USPS mail forwarding. I am very privy to these things but I must have just misread the URL. 1. Googled “mail forwarding” 2. Must have clicked one of the ads like: https://www.unitedaddressupdate.com 3. Qu

Do not work for AOL but know that their email service is still heavily used. I have a family member who pays a monthly fee for basic email and refuses to give it up.

You can say the same thing with most trading cards but there always seems to be some second hand market that no one understands.

Not defending insurance plans in the US whatsoever because I despise their deductible structures but that’s actually pretty good.

Great read... I’ve had similar thoughts before. Question though: when that thought experiment is applied to the physical body of a person, aren’t our cells dying and being replaced constantly? Does that mean our identity changes over time a

Agree with the legal implications. I would not go anywhere near this data. I don’t think this relates to GDPR though. There are some exemptions for personal use which I think there are arguments this could fall into (IANAL). But my opinion

I don’t disagree with your above claim of people trying to get a rise out of others with inflammatory speech online. I have seen it too but... it sounds like the rest of your argument is very politically motivated (and anecdotal).

Ha! I was about to comment the same. Sacramento has the exact same thing, I regularly heard car accidents on this corner when I lived there. https://goo.gl/maps/YR29vXMf4HnNawT68 Making a left turn? I lived there for 5

I’m just curious if anyone knows... does this specifically call out Google or does this also potentially have implications for other news aggregators that work in a similar way? Could this also target reddit or even hacker news? I couldn’t

In NYC the boxes are already bundled and left on sidewalks all over the city, I think because they are required to make it as easy as possible to collect/separate. Whenever I move I usually walk around a few blocks and snag a few bundl

Yes this exactly. The commercial real estate people I know aren't worried much (at least at the moment). Most of these small business leases are personally guaranteed.

Actually I think hacker news is the Google in this scenario. They are profiting off aggregating the content of other news outlets. I’m not sure it’s right/wrong or how it’s going to work but if Australia says you make money off aggrega

New building with a view, pool, rooftop, gym etc. Only comparable buildings are on 42nd st (which is another distinct area that I’m not a fan of). Personally I like the energy, lots of good restaurants, close to trains. You can get to Brook

Totally agree. Quite a bit of the OP’s sentiment resonates with me. I’ve been at VMware the past 3 years and can honestly say, engineers regularly make most of the product decisions. Managers are basically just people managers and become ti

We are well past the point of being capable of recording all police interactions with video. If every police officer was forced to record all activity with body cams (that would be made public through some process) we could scrutinize and h

Honestly I ran into partially related situation in NYC. I found a 1-bed apartment I liked at a nicer building, I decided to proceed and next thing you know I'm signing the lease. I read the lease and says a few very peculiar things: 1)

I think a lot of this comes back to laziness and/or lack of critical thought toward measuring efficiency of completing work. It’s perfectly normal to want to determine who is most efficient and who is not. Those who are working harder
