Most likely. My experience with learning math in the US is that it's all taught in a very boring manner and they generally don't care about showing you how it's applicable to daily life, so it seems abstract and useless to mo

I'm torn about this. On the one hand, people are very bad at editing in general and editing video in particular. They post 4 minute videos of something cool or funny, where it realistically could have been trimmed down to 10-20 seconds

It's fascinating to find issues like this. I do wonder if it's a coincidence or something really is dying/changing on the same day each year and causing search to stop? We're not quite to the 365/2th day of the year

No it's not a sign of their incompetence. Planet Money recently did an episode on how much longer it takes chip and pin to work, and also why it took so long to come to the US: http://www.npr.org/sections/money&#x2

It also very much changes perceptions. I used to work for a company that manufactured point of sale systems. They found they could improve the amount of time the customer waited by queueing up all the printing of the receipt until the end o

I don't know about laws, but your cell provider should have information about where to report spam texts, and those would certainly qualify. You should get reimbursed for the charges (since SMS in the US makes no sense and receivers pa

Oh man, so much this. I get so much recruiter spam from LinkedIn, I just stopped responding altogether. One recruiter took to emailing and calling me daily, despite the fact that I never once responded to them. That doesn't make me thi

Well it kind of depends, doesn't it? Linked Lists are a good introduction to the types of structures you'll use in any sort of graph-related problems. If the work you're interviewing for is going to involve a lot of manipulat

I'm not sure what you're point is. The fact that Photoshop and Elements both sell well enough to continue their development kind of proves the point. If removing knobs didn't work, Elements would have failed. And in fact, the

Do we know that 99% of people don't have a problem with 99% of the web? Or do they not know how to express their displeasure with it or whom to express it to? I hear complaints all the time from normal users about top sites. They don&#

Yes, and I do donate to some of the podcasts that allow me to.

As an extremely heavy listener of podcasts, there's no way I would listen anymore if I had to have 20 different apps to run to listen to them. It's an absolute non-starter. And then to have ads on top of that. Fuck that. Maybe the

I use it for a few reasons (in the US): 1) Don't have to touch or open my wallet to get at it 2) More secure than either debit or credit because it's a 1-time generated card number 3) Harder for the merchant to track my purchases

Not sure what you mean about raising the watch and scrolling. On the Apple watch you get a series of short buzzes for a left turn and long buzzes for a right turn. There's no looking, scrolling, or dismissing necessary.

When the watch came out, I thought, "Oh that's neat. Not neat enough to buy, but neat." Eventually, I got a good discount on one and bought it. While it may not be life changing, I love it. I use it daily and for lots of th

There are a number of reasons: 1) Some apps have a limited life span - games, for example, or apps specific to an event (like the SIGGRAPH or GDC apps) 2) Some apps have bugs that you don't encounter until you use a particular function
