Exactly this. I've made four attempts to consider an Android ecosystem and have owned the following: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Note 5, and Pixel 2XL. The Nexus/Pixel phone hardware were fine, but I found that the software ecosystem was he

A number of years ago, I was employed by an Apple Retail store. I don't know how it is now but when I started (in 2010), they would hold employee-led workshops on the basics of iOS devices and how to customize them. By the time I left,

From 2010 to 2013, I worked at an Apple Retail store in the East Bay of California and handled phone repairs for the latter two. The amount of fraud was ridiculous. We would get at least a dozen attempts at replacing phones (and sometimes l

The incredibly frightening thing is that I'm no longer surprised about the fact that people like these still remain completely employable.

A former employer of mine took this to the extreme: They regularly audited in-person attendance by checking for badge swipes and subsequently pushed out anyone they deemed to be working remotely too much by way of attrition through stack ra

Kind of an interesting story: I spent three years writing code for a bank and Lobsters is a tech site that I visit occasionally. The corporate firewall as well as the Bluecoat proxy banned it (Bluecoat also banned basically everything while

Your comment is incredibly unhelpful and does not contribute to the discussion. HN is not the kind of platform to shitpost on.

I have such a visceral reaction to the clickshaming "I don't want 10% off" footer in your email list CTA. Please consider removing this.

I would personally be very happy to spend $250 on bottles of Yamazaki 18. I understand that an 18-year Scotch would normally run the $120-160 range, but illogically I would scoop up every single bottle of Yamazaki 18 possible at the price y

I've had an MLM salesperson try and pitch me in an Uber before. He was driving a BMW and claimed that his company gave it to him for being a top salesperson for them. Kept trying to give me his business card. Wasn't a fan of that

There's a service called Blendle that does this. I used them a little over a year ago.

I don't think you're making the objectively logical conclusion that you think you're making. GP quoted the linked post.

Exactly. Some services will add a variable percentage increase to all menu prices. It also turns out the quoted cart that Doordash gave me was $10 below actual cost at the restaurant, and from past experiences on other platforms I'm un

I went to make an order from a restaurant that was about a ten minute drive from my house. On a $45 cart, I was hit with: ~$8 "service fee" $8 "delivery fee" And a variable tip percentage that defaulted to ~$9 Add tax to

I read this comment and the first thing that it reminded me of was @patio11's post on contacting banks after the Equifax breach, and so I was about to dig it up to post as a comment when I realized who the GP was :)

I don't think it's about years of experience -- someone who does the bare minimum for five years and never provides input could very well still be categorized as "junior"
