I'd disagree. They're better off getting some feedback on books that might appeal to their learning style and background better. Otherwise they may tire quickly and not learn well-enough.

The way I've sort of thought of tips, it's more like "well, they're driving X miles to/from the store to deliver my order, so the tip should maybe cover that, plus a bit more if they're friendly". But in t

Ah, interesting but makes sense. I _think_ the sweetness level is on purpose but could be wrong. I do remember that from when I've had it though.

Jollibee's also has fried chicken with spaghetti! It's a Filipino thing and it's super good. Not sure where they have locations other than California, though.

I realize not everyone will agree, but I like to think of this as more of a symbolic thing; it doesn't need to be a biological, adoptive, step, foster mother, it can just be someone who you've really just appreciate as being warm

Can @dang or someone update the title with "California DMV" to be a bit more specific here?

I doubt in practice it would be completely random. Most likely it would still need to be reviewed/verified by the App Store review board, and most likely it would still require asking for permissions just like any other app.

I was fortunate enough to get an expensed pair of QC 35 I's at a previous job. This was a little over 3 years ago now. Never had any of the described issues. Even now they feel and sound great. Battery life may be starting to degrade,

I'd love to build a HUD for my Subaru BRZ like this, but using some kind of HUD. Even just as a speedometer. But I'm not really able to solder/do much wiring since I have hand tremors. It'd be sweet, though.

Demand, I think. I wanted to order a few necessities and an extra thing (pizza pan). The pizza pan quite likely wouldn't be highly in demand during this (or I'm quite wrong, I don't know) but even with Prime it won't arr

Not only that, but I'd argue that downtown San Jose and the surrounding area probably get an economic boost with events at the convention center as large as WWDC. DTSJ already has SJSU, but it wouldn't surprise me if having regula

That's too bad. Sounds fairly normal for companies around here, though. Also, I guess I offended some ex or current employees since I've gotten the downvote brigade. :\

Well, like I said, could just be that my perspective was tainted a bit by not doing as well as I'd have liked. But I think sometimes these things just happen too. I think I interviewed in 2018, so that'd be 7 years after you did.

Interviewed here a year or so ago. Honestly I'll admit I didn't do well technically, but every interviewer I had just seemed super impersonal and not very friendly. They asked very interrogative questions, and while I get it and a

How is it "an inferior performing car" aside from lower mileage? Any sources? Genuinely curious.

Like I said, for decades different cars have had different EPA. I'm not sure why in this case it should be some special factor.

I would say that's less a disappointing bit and more just a factor of if it fits a potential buyer's needs. Even with ICE cars, people have always compared multiple cars' EPA/mileage, drivability, etc. It's hardly a

I wouldn't necessarily call that a blanket statement, though. I'm sure they don't mean power user functions are easy to learn. I think at that point there's just a general expectation that those who will be power users &
