The Youtube channel "Life where I'm from" recently put out a video (one week ago) about how Japan keeps itself clean. In some cases it's even the elderly living in the smaller neighborhoods who will "find something

Heh, sounds like you had the opposite experience. I was on call the second week I had him and I'm a bit regretful since some extra first couple weeks' training without interruptions would've probably been better. Huge plus on

I got a puppy and I'm its single caregiver. I love having him around but I didn't realize it'd mean being on-call 24/7 plus the rotations on my team at work when I'm really on-call. That's made for some..intere

This announcement was literally today, and the announcement specifically says people are probably only just learning about it today...

If you went to a group meeting with them, even if you're talking to someone else you could potentially overhear the other friends talking to someone else about those political views, wouldn't you? I just personally don't see

I think people could really work on self-curating/self-filtering content to make sure it's mostly what they want to see on social media. I've made nearly a dozen friends in Japan who I've now met there on two separate tr

My point, however, was that the parent poster didn't seem to think so.

People have been crushed and killed just when their stopped car starts moving because it wasn't parked in gear or with their parking brake engaged. Speed being "slow" or "fast" here is unrelated.

"Would you automatically assume Autopilot is able to see and brake for the pedestrian at night and a human pair of eyes wouldn't see better?" Honestly that's a terrible argument. We haven't reached any kind of sembl

I've noticed this too. Occasionally I'll look up a how-to/DIY thing, watch one video for it, and then all my recommendations (even the ones on the front page) revolve around that topic. But it's not like I have a consist

That's odd, I definitely have the sleep features enabled and it's a Series 6.

I don't get the problem here. You're able to select which notifications are allowed to come through to the watch. I only have notifications from a few apps allowed to come through, and out of those I also filter them with the in-a

My issue is that I wear it overnight and through the day. And what happens is that around an hour before bedtime, the battery gets to 20-30% but since I'm not constantly checking, I forget about that and don't take it off my wrist

My grandparents were in a care facility for several years. By the end, they were each on so many different medicines that one of my other relatives had to keep records on everything to make sure dosages were right, they were getting the cor

I don't think this is an entirely apt comparison. You actually mention that even Google Maps has problems. I live in the Bay Area and have constantly experienced problems with it, including it directing me to a block or two behind the

I'm in the SF Bay Area and as to be expected around here, I've seen quite a few. Maybe 8-10 so far in all the different colors.

Yet routinely their service still has incredibly poor performance and there are bugs in their iOS app that have been around for months. Crazy.

Reminds me of video games/movies where guns/other weapons only work for the enemies or whatever because they have an NFC or something that validates them as being allowed to fire the weapon.

For the latter question, "maybe"? I have a LinkedIn but I don't really keep it actively updated. But for my current FAANG job I was sourced via LinkedIn. Received a random recruiter inbox message there and eventually was hire

Heh, fair enough! Can't say that opportunity has quite presented itself yet but one of these days I'm sure it'll happen. Honestly the funniest experience I had with culture clash was one day at a hotel I stayed at in Takasaki

It's been a mix for me. One time I accidentally lost my paper ticket for the metro before I had gotten a Suica, and an older gentleman hanging out with friends near the ticket gates went and bought a new ticket outside for me to put in
