> well, if it was bad, you should have left and we might have refunded some of your money Heh, VRBO said the exact opposite to us. Essentially "you should've stayed at the property, but since you left, we can't help you&qu

I already disputed the charges weeks ago, but from talking to the credit card company, it seems that VRBO just claimed that nothing was wrong. Luckily in their last email to me, they admitted the owner broke their TOC, and that they had ask

For me it's the other way around, the original AirPods stay in my ear at all times. With the pros, I constantly need to adjust it, and they've fallen out of my ears multiple times whilst in the gym. I'm a bit reluctant to by

Normally I would just book through a hotel directly. But this was a 6 week trip, through multiple countries and multiple cities, with a friend. So instead of us both spending $120 each, we could spend $120 a night on an apartment. We had 4

> Also, their support is abysmal. Often when hotels fail to provide rooms as advertised, they play a "not my fault" game with the hotels, where the hotels claim they can't refund because the money is stuck with Booking.com

Out of curiosity, why would not executing JavaScript or not downloading images equal higher content quality?

You’ve completely missed the point, and continue to argue semantics. Wether they’re different variants or not does not matter to your average non-Chinese speaker. You know my stance, I’ve explained it, I have no interest in continuing this

A simple lookup on Wikipedia proves your "simple fact" wrong, so I don't understand what you're arguing against here. As posted by someone else to prove me wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o

I don’t quite understand how you associate accountability with not naming the virus Nu or Xi. There needs to be accountability for sure, and I do feel like the WHO is trying to please China in other instances. But in this case, I feel it’s

by woutr_be 5y ago
There's quite a few variants that either sound like Xi, or look very similar. Even if the exact word "Xi" wasn't a common surname, it's a well known one, and will only fuel the ongoing hatred and racism.

That's again one of those arguments, where it's been set up so that when you disagree, you're sucking up towards the CCP. But, do you think that people who attack or racially abuse Asians because of the virus will care that i

by woutr_be 5y ago
I kind of hate people stating it like this, because when you point out as to why it would be fairly obvious not to use Xi, they'll call you out for pandering towards the CCP. But Xi is a pretty common surname in China, and the virus ha

I have noticed that I somewhat simplified my vocabulary in that regard, previously I would say "half five", but now I just go with "four thirty".

My native language is Dutch, but I've been living in an English speaking country for almost 10 years now. It's annoying to having to change my mindset whenever I visit friends and family in my native country. In Belgium, we say 25

How so? If that button is part of a complex frontend, with multiple stylings who might inherit from each other, it could be quite a task to fix it correctly. It's not as simple as just looking into your developer tools, and adding some

Wouldn't that mean that both have the exact same responsibility? A bug in the FE, would essentially render the BE unusable, and therefore would cost a lot of money and time as well. For example; if Amazon's checkout button somehow

I'm a full-stack engineer, but my main focus has always been frontend, so to give my perspective. Frontend is really hard, writing re-usable HTML and CSS is almost as hard as writing re-usable backend modules. I get annoyed by backend

While I understand the relevance to the tweet, at least to me, this isn't Facebook's fault, but rather the government's for using a private companies' platform, instead of it's own website. I understand why so many

At least for me, the main advantage is that I can instantly block or delete a "masked" email address. With a catch all, you'll still be receiving mails.

That's really nice, and exactly what I've been waiting for. I've been using a third party service for a while now, but it was a pain to have to manually create the email address first. Was tempted to switch to Apple, but that

I doubt anyone would’ve called it stupid when the arrows pointed in the direction the car would be driving. There’s zero common sense in reversing them.

I have seen all kind of indicators while driving in Europe, and they all share the same basic thing; a flashing light indicating in which direction the car will be turning. Suddenly seeing a flashing arrow pointing the other way instantly c

I remember interviewing people for a front-end role as well, and when asked how they would decide between traditional HTML rendered on the server, or a framework like react/vue. Some flat-out couldn't even comprehend what I meant.
