My solution to email spam is a second Gmail account. I use this email to sign up for everything, and it forwards to my main account, but all those emails get auto-archived on receipt. That way if I need a password link or something it’s as

> The spreadsheet will be shared with your work email address. That means the company knows you’re doing this. It’s not legal for them to retaliate for it, but people do stuff that’s not legal.

It’s true that most people switched because convenience and marginal cost usually beats quality. That’s how we went from landlines to “can you hear me now.” But I have the latest iPhone and a low end SLR and the SLR blows it out of the wate

LOL. Imagine being such a corporatist that you end up going to jail to protect your employer.

Why does “elected” make it better? If you had a problem you needed solving would you rather have Elon Musk on the case, or any of the last 4 American presidents?

It doesn’t make sense to put the PC right on the headset - it adds to the weight that needs to be supported by your neck. A backpack or Fanny pack Pc plus a tethered cable would be much smarter, and would also let you swap out the PC and he

Yes it's more, getting such a magical piece of artwork created, with everything that goes into it. To me, the "story" of the Pixar movie is perhaps the least interesting part (except for something like Wall-E which is pretty

I don't know how great this lunch was. It doesn't take a Pixar legend to say "let's make a movie about toys coming to life." Even I could do that. What it takes a Pixar legend to do is to take that idea and create T

That’s why I think that Microsoft could make it a painful experience but in general, both products do describe surfaces. The hardware is a physical surface and Clover has a virtual surface.

by spoonjim 5y ago
You can’t really trademark Surface since it’s a generic word that describes the thing that it is, but Microsoft lawyers could probably make you regret testing that.

What do they lose? They lose if they're the people on the wrong camera at the wrong time and they get picked up for a crime they didn't commit!

For offenses where the risk of getting caught is very low, you need to make the punishments stiff, otherwise the expected value of the punishment is near-zero.

Fraud is a crime defined in law and this would not meet the bar.

In high school I used to be able to nail "the perfect pump" every single time. It was a party trick when we were out and up to no good. Now of course it's completely impossible with the price of gas.

Yeah we use the folding furniture as a way to make the office a guest bedroom. So the few times a year we need it, I have to put most of the office junk into a trash bag and drag it into the garage so I can unfold the bed.

My kid is my responsibility but also we collectively pay the teachers and we don't have to keep doing this. We can just defund the entire system and make it an individual responsibility (of course as most things this would fuck over th

This stuff looks really cool in videos but as someone who owns some folding / roll-out furniture it's fucking annoying as hell. You have to have absolutely nothing in a room to make folding furniture work. Otherwise you have one l

We damaged a generation of kids to protect a generation of octogenarians and a bunch of teachers who wouldn't assume any modicum of risk to do their jobs. I feel sad for all the lockdown kids for everything that was done to them. My ki

The teachers are more essential than pretty much anyone else besides doctors. They just have to show up, that's part of the deal when you take on such a big responsibility. What if doctors just stopped showing up in the middle of a pan

Not surprising though. Apple's hardware and software quality are way better than anything you get with Android, the only place some Android handsets are ahead is the camera. And the Apple stuff isn't any more expensive (iPhone SE

Let me guess without reading the article: Names are considered high status, like Fitzwilliam or something, then the poor people start using them, then the high status people need to invent something new.

Huh, I haven't used Uber in awhile. Is that new or specific to some geographies?

by spoonjim 5y ago
As far as the UX communicates, the Uber price is a quote — that’s what you pay regardless of whether the driver gets there faster or slower than expected. The app never says “traffic eased up! Here’s a $2 refund.” Yes, it’s clear that they’
