Anecdotally, I know multiple people who's followers count would put them in the category of "nano influencer" who do an excellent job using their platform to engage with interested clients / paying customers. I guess bec

Most (non-tech) people I know are interested in the camera. People are change-adverse (so those with an Apple device want to stay on iOS) and want the latest photo taking capabilities. Especially for friends who rely on photos for their job

When two teams easily win unless they play each other, is it a competitive league?

Its definitely not for substantial news.

Agreed on Sheriff! Such a fun game. I think whats important is having one or two people "hosting" the events to realize what you've said above and plan accordingly. Having a plethora of games to choose from and selecting the

Yeah I think the "it sounds better" argument is silly. Personally I prefer records for these reasons: - If I want to share a record with a friend, theres a greater chance they'll just let it play as opposed to a bluetooth con

I see your point and won't pretend there isn't an air of pretentiousness surrounding some who purchase records. I think any hobby will have its fair share of smugness at the top. Also comparing listening to records as consulting t

So you don't understand why people like something and dismiss it as silly hipster bias? Does everything have to be about efficiency and logical superiority? People enjoy the experience more and are spending money on it. How horrible.

Not sure why you were down voted, I remember a weight lifter who were at the top of their field in an interview saying he was so out of shape he couldn't play with his kids. Weight training is great, in moderation, like anything else.

I've seen a handful of friends injure themselves weightlifting over the years, and almost every incident stemmed from poor form and/or too much weight. I don't know if I'd recommend a personal trainer for anyone seriousl

None of this was novel or interesting. Guess I just read an ad for internships at NYT :)

Yeah I'm hoping the parent responds, I don't consider myself an expert on nutrition so I'm curious if theres something we're not seeing! I tried Soylent for a bit and had mixed results, but that was I think mostly due t

Can you elaborate a bit? What exactly is garbage about the ingredients?

Honestly the only subtle episodes I can think of pre-season 3 are White Bear and White Christmas. I'd love a discussion on why you (or others) think otherwise.

You think that was a worse episode than the first episode of the series? Or The Waldo Moment? I really think Black Mirror is suffering from the Internet hype machine. If you never saw the show and only read the buzz online you'd think

I have yet to work for a company where posting fake reviews on our applications wasn't the norm. Most users (myself included) can't be bothered to write a brand new review every time an app updates.

The article mentions 11.7% CS UK grads unemployed after 6 months. This doesn't surprise me nor does it concern me that the bottom ~10% of students are struggling to find work. What's giving them trouble is probably what plagued t

Drivers I know prefer Lyft because it pays out better. Combine this with the fact that its slightly cheaper (where I am at least) makes Lyft over Uber a no brainer for me.

Agreed. Also, this seems like it wouldn't work at all for some espresso based drinks, I can't imagine frothed milk of a cappuccino holding up well for a ~15 minute bumpy delivery.

A couple days late on this, but to answer your question: "Celebrities" I follow might be better described as a mix of creatives (musicians, comedians, actors/actresses) and intellectuals (members of the tech, math, and scienc

Wasn't Meerkat done in by the fact that Twitter launched Periscope around the same time? Twitter cut Meerkat's access to the API at SXSW (mid March), and published Periscope to the iOS App Store in late March. On top of this, I&#x
