With the argument, we (speaking as a european) should ban Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on. Is that really where you want to go.

Vista was shit, but Win 7 was generally accepted as a very good version of Windows, with 8 being bad, and then 10 being eh. But 10 can be made pretty acceptable if you bring out the group policy editor.

I think it is the opposite, actually. A professional gets shit done. With my higher experience, I have a better understanding of what provides business value and don't work on it more than that, because it is not valuable. I am passion

It is not charity, it is an economic transaction. What I don't get is what benefit does a company get by people pretending that they are applying for anything other than the (total) salary?

That worked in the 90's. But this all depends on infrastructure and I have worked in a couple of places now where we wouldn't have a phone number to call, because everybody has phones. Its like saying "just use a pay phone, l

Every such prompt I have seen has been useless, incorrect location and only because I was logging in manually. But as long as I have to approve them, who cares if they are trying to log in in Pakistan? I won't approve the notification

This article did a good job making me want to write more. But it didn't do anything to explain how to write as an engineer. Like the author I didn't enjoy writing in school, so how does writing as an Engineer differ, and how does

Just so that we all understand what photoshop can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lblzHvKhRc It does look a little plastique, but it is also (deliberately an extreme case).

I skipped the ads in the (very excellent) podcast I listened to today. I used the forward button. Someone paid a fortune to put ads on busses to force me to see them. If I look away, am I somehow stealing from them?

If you give them a typical school tests designed to test a typical school scenario, then the kid best at school will get the highest score. But the question is, if school tests are at all related to reality. I don't think so.

It requires the receiving country to accept it, which in practical terms means that there are few countries where he could go.

Yeah, but he could be tried for war crimes, which might get him the death penalty in the US.

It is certainly possible. However if you figure that each office worker drinks 2 cups a day at the office, and most don't get Star Bucks more than once per week, most coffee is still not some crazy sugar consumption. How energy drinks

No. Advertising and the need to drive engagement has made the world worse. At the root of most evil in the western world is advertising, it is just hidden well because it is good at moving the blame to, e.g, tech. Also those movements were

Apple Music won't be a relevant thing until I can use it on my work computer, ie not tied to the Apple ecosystem. I used the have Google music, but when they went and changed it to youtube music I ended up hating the new thing so much

Smartphone usage increases facebook usage. There is a causal relationship between social media usage[0] and loneliness and depression, which kills. In other words, social media kills in the same way cigarettes kills. Smartphones without s

That still count as genocide under the law, but they are doing other things that are worse. No gas chambers, but thats not required.

Just a general point: You can disable badges (in iOS) in notifications separately from the others (that is, allow notifications but not badges). I found that out because, like you, I require that there is no counter.

Social media is more dangerous than alcohol. 21 is probably the minimum age to permit it.

Its a lot easier if they can still communicate with their friends. Sadly that happens a lot more on social media.

They also actively commit genocide, so that is now okay too?

All social media is a national security concern, because it is known to cause (not just be associated with) decreased mental wellbeing.

Ironically one of the things my local library offers is free internet access, so that isn't really a problem. As for the other issue, which types of screens have you tried? In particular, what e-ink tablets have you tried?

Aside: your writing style is confusing and very hard to follow. Collections are great, but from your example there are thousands of books on something rather obscure that very few libraries are going to have. Further organzing all the books

But you do get that. Better actually, because you can approach it on multiple axis (something the real world is physically incapable of): if the author has published multiple books you can click that axis and follow along it, and if not you
