I don't see it as too different from "I'm using Rails, ActiveRecord, Sprockets, Ruby 2, CoffeeScript, etc". Which stack do you prefer to use?

by scottmf 10y ago
Funny, but it's not quite that complex. How about "Here's a link to a CLI utility or git repo which will give you a working project in 2-3 hours"? I took a break from web dev for some years and had barely used any JS fra

Sounds like coincidence. My window has planes continually flying from my direction, and throwing one from my phone doesn't seem to change anything.

Looks a little like a parked domain page.

That's a good comparison and I'd expect similar user backlash here. I'm confused as to why they're choosing to lead with this feature.

by scottmf 10y ago
The technology behind the feature is great, don't get me wrong. But there's something so empty about the Labrador response. I want a discussion with a human. Not a human-curated conversation of algorithm-determined responses. Simp

Same here. What am I missing?

No better by what measure? Because it's objectively better in every way besides ubiquity.

Ah so what you're saying is they do some things for profit, and other things for PR reasons. Interesting.

The case provides 24 hours of battery life. If you're in a situation where your case has no battery life at all and your airpods have no battery life at all, they take 15 minutes to charge.

The headphones charge in 15 minutes.

What's crazy to me is the company didn't expect anyone to take their story public. Not even the woman in marketing . I hope you guys continue to expose fraudulent startups and CEOs like this. It really is a service to us all.

I must be missing something. Link to download or Github?

Of course it has. http://www.europeanneuropsychopharmacology.com/article/S0924...

We have real data which heavily backs the case for medicating. You have emotion and conjecture. >Non-industry funded long term study (30+ years) citation needed. What do you want? You're suggesting all these studies are funded by ph

It's a perfectly fine analogy. They're both problems which are problems because of our society. You're suggesting physical illness is more "real" than mental illness. >We're demanding kids do something tha

by scottmf 10y ago
Why not? People are suffering and we have safe medications which improve their lives. Not treating ADHD is far more dangerous. People with unmedicated ADHD are more likely to do poorly in school, abuse drugs/alcohol, suffer from depr

Why single out ADHD? What about over-diagnosis of depression and other mental illness? This kind of nonsense is fodder for those who believe ADHD and other disorders aren't a serious problem. What's the solution to overprescriptio

What's the problem here? Someone fakes symptoms to get medication, abuses it, goes crazy, kills self. If you read the article about this guy you'll see he was incredibly manipulative and lied to multiple doctors to get prescriptio

Or you hail one and they don't want to go where you're going. It amazes me how consistently poor the service is from old-style taxis across the world. Is there a worse industry for consumers?

Ha. Maybe slightly.

I disagree. I don't see how it can be unwinnable. Even if it were an endless game of whack-a-mole, free adblock plugins don't have a fraction of the resources of Facebook. Publishers became greedy, ads became intrusive, and user

It's incredibly disingenuous of them to suggest they're doing users a favor. Do they not see the irony in justifying their circumvention of adblockers with the claim that users want ads? With that said, I've surprised mysel

That's a bit of a disappointment. I imagine they'll gradually loosen restrictions.
