Coming from India, it's crazy what you can get over the counter. I think that medicine should be more available and cheaper but the fact that you can get so many antibiotics without a prescription is definitely a contributing factor.

I'll play devil's advocate here and say that sometimes these incidents deserve praise because they uncovered an issue that was otherwise unknown previously. Also if the incident had a large negative impact then it shows to leaders

I've looked into some of the engineering that goes into Web3, and while I'm incredibly impressed, I can't quite shake the feeling that all we're doing is getting really good at counting paperclips. What real world proble

Have you tried hiring someone to do marketing for you? Or finding a cofounder? If you're not willing to try those then perhaps you care more about the building part than the making money part and are worried that making money will put

Do advertisers actually believe these impressions metrics are valuable? It's strange that they put value in these metrics that everyone hates while completely shunning other forms of content like porn. I'm not suggesting that adve

Also, what is a harmful review? Pretty much any 1 star review is harmful however, in many cases, they are deserved. So if I get horrible service and leave a 1 star review, is that grounds for banning me?

I really enjoyed this talk by Captain Disillusion at the Blender Conference 2018 where he goes over some of that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qSTcxt2t74

This should be built into the operating system. Didn't Android (or maybe it was iOS) add a feature recently where you can set your camera to be a black screen unless you explicitly give permission to the app even if you gave permission

Which is ironic because France strikes me as one of the least "woke" countries in Europe.

I still don't understand. What's wrong with Winamp 4 skins? Edit: Maybe I have to sound it out. Is it because 4 skin sounds like foreskin?

I feel like from a design and architecture point of view, building an application with the command line as a first class citizen will ensure that the application is well designed.

Do people within the country side travel to cities often? In any case, trains still exist and if that doesn't work, the interstate roads probably aren't going away because trucks still need to make trips.

My worry about it is how street photographers are able to convey meaning through context, captions, etc. I don't mind someone taking a photo of me if they get permission afterwards to post it and I'm able to ask them to take it do

Thoughts on Hover vs Namecheap? I've been using Hover for a while now and they haven't given me any issues but I wonder if there's something better out there that I just haven't looked into.

Not only do you need to find the snippet which is hard enough as it is, but you also need to understand the snippet and often take out a line or two from a 20 line snippet which do what you need.

The shock is that someone at Meta looked into these studies and decided not to take actions to fix it because it might hurt their revenue.

by xmprt 5y ago
Which is totally fair in my opinion. It is no single individual's job to fix an issue this big and I don't think it's even feasible for a single person to do at a company like this. And if management hasn't set up incent

What were the reasons your friend gave for not wanting to live in SF? The common reasons I see are often that it's too expensive, there's too much crime and homeless people, and it's noisy and full of traffic. All of these ar

In what way do you need to be young and rich to ride a bike? Cars are significantly more expensive than bikes by almost 2 orders of magnitude. And people can ride bikes well into their 60s. In the Netherlands, old and disabled people are al

You have it completely backwards. Suburbs aren't scalable. That's why back in the 50s-70s when they were first built, they were amazing, but today, they are rife with traffic problems, noise pollution, and crumbling infrastructure

It feels like the value of a cryptocurrency is indirectly proportional to its utility. If people are actually spending a cryptocurrency instead of holding it as a speculative investment, then the price of a coin won't go up (at least n

Why would the server side code have to change for this? A none checkbox could just be translated to an empty array and passed down to the server as if none of the options were checked.

This doesn't look much like Notion. I think it's a lot closer to something like Google Suite (even the name indicates that).

I wonder how you're supposed to price in externalities in cases like this. We all know that climate change and crumbling infrastructure will have real and devastating effects for future generations but unless we can somehow price in th

I'd argue there's a massive incentive to do this if you can because then every other company in the world can downsize their engineering staff and take advantage of the no code solution that you're selling. Even if you sell a

So let's make the road safer instead of banning children. Also, parents aren't completely irresponsible and will teach their kids how to cycle before letting them run loose.

I had to take a few minutes to understand this case. So essentially, merchants who were already accepting Amex cards couldn't tell their customers to use a Visa card instead if they had one. If a merchant didn't want to accept Ame

Can a different parent look at my child's grades? Or is there still some level of privacy where only certain parties are allowed to view certain documents even if they are official.
