I did this with phone cases like 6-7 years ago. I setup a website with Magento, took nice photos of all the cases (which I found out is kind of hard). And started running some Google and Facebook ads. I couldn't seem to make a profit t

Hopefully technology (robotics + machine learning) will improve this a lot in the future. Rather than needing to keep dairy cows in a shed they could graze, and some robotic contraption could roam the field milking them, etc. It's also

I've done quite a bit of reading about digital dashboards, and agree. The first example in "Information Dashboard Design" is filled with gauges - and an explanation of why it's a bad design. Edward Tufte's books are

It would be interesting to see the analytics for this. I've seen the dialog many times, but can't think of a time I resubmitted the form.

Not sure how it was received, but I could imagine Slack being mocked in a similar way by tech people for basically just being an IRC client.

What are you using to self-educate? I'm kind of doing the same. I decided to start with "Mathematics for the Nonmathematician", which so far is good (only on chapter 3 though). Someone in the comments shared https:/

You assume the parent is privileged (younger white male) for having an opinion that conflicts with your own? Another point - educated white males are not your enemy. If you're looking for racists, sexists, etc - you need not seek them

Has anyone used Costco to buy a new vehicle? Their program isn't direct or anything, but you're supposed to get better prices than working with a dealership directly. I've been curious how much below invoice they are. The clo

I should of been more specific. I just did a quick check to confirm, and I see three wiper blade sizes (24", 16", and 14") on the first page of results. My car doesn't have a model/trim with a rear wiper blade.

I bought exhaust bolts this way, and of course they didn't fit. The spacers on the bolts were longer than the OEM bolts, so fumes would go into the cabin. Lesson learned.. It would be nice if they fixed this problem. I saw a ton of par

I look at this a little differently. If a user is able to make a mistake, I've failed (this is too broad, but you get the idea). If you take an honest look at your application, and step away from it, it's usually easy to see how

And you'd have to reset your clock, and preset stations. Also the fuel trims the ECU is using would be wiped out. That product is pretty cool though, I didn't know they existed. Makes sense for an RV or something you rarely use.

No, I didn't even think of that. I switched the sprinklers to run at midnight instead of 7-8PM a few days ago, and so far so good. If it happens again I'll give the collar w/ tags a try, thanks. Hopefully she's learning
