Good grief, they sure are desperate to turn their most useful apps into activity streams. The day I have to scroll past an ad to check an appointment is the day I stop using Calendar.

This is exactly what they want to do. Ads embedded in streams/feeds have proven to be the most profitable monetization strategy on mobile, and Google's missing the party on that one. It's an attempt to take one of their power

There is no reliable way to chemically measure intoxication from marijuana. All the tests show is the presence of THC in the system. Hair tests can detect use as far back as 6 months, urine tests for 3 weeks, blood tests for 72 hours (typic

I'm looking in Portland, Oregon. Looks like your site is Bay Area-only? Looks like a fun side project!

I'm currently hunting for a home and the only two sites I've found relevant are Zillow and Redfin. Can someone explain to me why I'd use Trulia?

This philosophy seems to imply that trust and relationships are worthless in business. If you perpetually promise features that don't exist, you'll eventually promise something that either can't be implemented at all or has t

Unfortunately, if I'm trying to get an idea of the trustworthiness of a person, I'm probably just going to skim the search results and reject them as soon as I see something related to a crime. It's an imperfect filter, but d

This is the kind of simplistic response that prevents our society from progressing. "It's just the way it is" terminates any rational discussion or critical analysis of why we do things the way we do. There's no actual

There's also something deliciously ironic about literally being on a treadmill while you're working. It's a metaphor we often use to describe the feeling of not getting anything done, or working just for the sake of working.

Perhaps we should just adapt the Who's Hiring thread to the format of the "Freelancer? Seeking freelancer?" thread and encourage folks to post replies if they're looking for employment.

Cities are wonderful places for aimless walking! When I travel to a new city, my favorite thing to do is to leave 2-3 days at the beginning completely unplanned and just walk out the door of my room and start walking. On a recent visit to S

Ironically, Colorado has alcohol laws that are even more bizarre than that. Until 2008, it was illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays. To this day, no corporate entity may own more than a single liquor store, and no grocery stores may sell anyt

All of those ideas (philosophy, math, political systems) required rigorous effort to formalize and reach a broad audience.

There are so many hidden penalties for seeking medical help. When I went through a bad breakup, I saw someone and he thought a mild antidepressant would help. I saw him twice and took the medication for 9 months. Almost four years later, I&

Nice work! I built a similar site a few years ago and it's turned out to be pretty popular.

As pointed out elsewhere in the thread, if computer driven cars become ubiquitous, insurance rates on person driven cars will become prohibitively high or the act of driving a car on public roads will be banned outright. As someone who enjo

Yes, I'd very happily take the 1950s standard of living along with a stable 11 hour workweek. Where do I sign up?

I disagree about people working fewer hours. Work that used to be performed by humans has already been automated to a large degree. Rather than a uniform reduction in hours, the result appears to be a swelling class of unemployed and increa

At most schools, you can just take courses without a competitive admission process until you intend to enroll in a degree program.

This is the 'nothing to hide' argument, and it's flawed. What if you're falsely accused of a crime? There are many ways for such a system to be abused. What about a right to privacy? Taking fingerprints for a driver lice

I did the exact same thing. You only need to do the prerequisites. No, it doesn't matter where you do them, but it's obviously best if you do them at the same school you intend to attend, as you'll be able to get recommendati

A couple of years back, I met my friend's grandma down in the bayou on the border between Texas and Louisiana. I had absolutely no clue what that woman was saying to me. I had to look at my friend for a translation every time she spoke
