Any time you find yourself dismissing something many people put a lot of work into, you should be suspicious that maybe you aren’t operating in the same context they did. For instance a problem some balancers solve (but many do not) is lane

English is likely not your first language and it’s fairly obvious what you mean, but the word you’re using a lot is spelled “intention”. Not at all how it sounds, stupid English. (It’s also likely that this minor error is spawned by the use

I would argue that often the car or other hardware being delayed is not an option and so you get rushed software anyway, that has to be dealer serviced. We’ve seen that a lot in cars now that they’ve started having non-trivial amounts of so

Correct, the car can function without the infotainment system but you lose conveniences like climate control, the backup camera, and sometimes even audio, which is weird because you get no feedback from the turn signals. It’s not great but

I mean, Microsoft would surely love to be the browser leader again. The web has always been an amazing device and OS neutral platform play, which is why they entered the space in the first place. Do I expect this to happen? No I do not, but

He’s far from the first person to have been tried for something that is unevenly enforced at best. Talk to any black men in your community, it happens all the time. More relevantly, prosecutors have to decide which cases to pursue and that

Re: PIPs, it depends on how they’re used. For stronger managers, who address issues quickly, a PIP (even informal) can be effective at creating behavior change that sticks. However the way many companies practice them, they are simply a for
