Until they solve the selection issue I just don't care what else they can offer. Amazon has won in my book by being a one stop shop for literally everything. I almost never price compare anymore because it's just so damn convenien

I have the same issue with Iron and Wine and I don't get why. Every recommendation engine I've tried decides I absolutely love them, no matter what seed I start with or what songs I like/dislike. I don't mind Iron and Wi

I'd be more accepting of that if they actually tested before saying "there's nothing we can do". I had a seven week bout with bronchitis recently because the first three doctors I went to insisted "it's viral,

I'm a daily user of some of the most complicated engineering software on the market. Every single release promises "Easier to use!" but all they do is make the most basic beginner-level actions more prominent and hide all med

It all depends on how aggressive the site is on cracking down and banning dummy accounts and the cost of the "upvote packages" (which I can't seem to find). On Metafilter they seem quite aggressive so the accounts have very l

Metafilter maybe. There's a one time $5 fee at signup and a 1 week waiting period after to post/comment. Seems to do a good job preventing this type of thing because the costs quickly get prohibitive if your dummy accounts keep ge

I find it interesting that Google couldn't get the Bill Murray one. No matter what combination of "did bill murray run for president" I search for, I get a rich snippet on the results page from snopes.com which says "Cla

I like the idea of so-called "long reads" but generally hate the execution. There's a standard longform template I can't stand: 1) Personal anecdote from the author 2) Description of what the weather is like outside the

I assume they're basing it on the combined market cap of the S&P 500 [1], the most common passive fund championed by Buffett [2]. At a market cap of $18 trillion, .1% would be $18 billion. Although, they may be basing it on old dat

The difference is fatigue. I'm sure the landing gear can support the full weight, but how many times? The gear may be rated for 20 uses at full takeoff weight or 100,000 uses at empty weight.
