To be fair, the original comment read like an Infowars headline.

This question makes me wonder...what are some examples of "first class citizens in browsers" to you?

They'll never accept your Japanese though unless you get the Keigo perfect. You might not notice it but foreigners who speak Japanese too well are thought of as losers by most Japanese ("why does he have to work in another country

I agree with you, if a company has a big enough name and user base, social-network-like features can add to the UX. What our managers were seriously pondering was to create an actual competitor to Facebook that would draw their user base to

From my limited experience, I think in bigger European companies (not 10-20 people tech startups) you will have people with little to no technical background doing the domain research and the managing of engineers. I've worked in a Fre

Honest question: What would be a good reason to learn Japanese nowadays, with all economical factors having run dry, over languages like Chinese or Korean? The only reason I can think of is to read Manga / watch Anime in the original l

I get what you mean. Maybe this is the best we could ever hope for? Because one thing is clear to me: If Hollywood and the VFX artists working for it had been Republican-leaning over the decades, we'd still be at the "Steam train

As for anecdotal evidence seen in a consultancy function: You are wrong in assuming that companies always hire database experts or data scientists to write their db queries who know how to not make the db the bottleneck. In reality you&#x27

Maybe Musk is behind this to weasel out of the contract?

That would be a very practical approach, and also could be fun for children as it's not a dry topic. On a more general level, I think we (as in any society that's not too far gone like Russia) need to educate our young about propa

You're right, I wasn't aware of that usage. Another reason to keep avoiding Reddit like the plague.

Movie? I guess you meant show? A friend of mine thinks like you, he feels extremely uncomfortable watching Fielder and his brand of comedy, and any sort of "cringe" comedy about sociopathic individuals, e.g. Curb Your Enthusiasm.

This is a huge factor that doesn't get the publicity it deserves. I work in a company currently led by a person who is very preachy about being "green" - i.e. she's a vegan who uses no plastic whenever possible, only sho

It has a dedicated key with a globe symbol in the lower left corner. I know what pop-up you are talking about, but that's non-input-blocking, i.e. the language is active when you press the button, and you can continue typing without an

Does everything nowadays? I think the analogy to porn at least here is fitting. The idea porn as a word to mean "of no substance, for easy consummation, from morally questionable sources, to make a quick buck off desperate people"

Best comedy on TV. Basically anything Fielder has touched so far, was gold. Or maybe it's because his brand of comedy really works for me, personally.

The only reason these bad actors exist is because there are a lot of marks for their con. We wonder why there are so many alleged Nigerian princes with money logistics problems on the internet - this is the same thing, just in less obvious

In Asia I saw Asus laptops with "tribal tattoos" decoration on the shell. That sort of "novelty".

Uhm, I have the iPad Pro 12" and that "magic" Apple keyboard cover (that crazy expensive one) and use Japanese, English, German as my input languages, switching often. Zero lag whatsoever.

Guess why - because the East Asian customers want thinness and lightness over power. I know because in Japan, when people saw my Mac (a 2013 MBP), first they were like "oh a Mac, can I try it?", but as soon as they held it, they w

Yep, and they added them back in and the current M1 MacBook Pros are their best yet.

East Asian societies which have not yet let go of Confucianist mindsets are not 35% of the globe.

In East Asia, novelty or "cuteness" of a product, i.e. the look of things, is mostly what counts. That's how East Asian makers try to stay ahead of the competition, because actual innovation that goes beyond the surface (no p

You should catch up with the developments of iPad OS. It works very well with keyboards nowadays. Since a few years, actually.
