I think there is an idea there, but this obviously won't work. Here are some large drawbacks: * timezones, most of the world is not on EST. If you make it per timezone, then not everyone will be on at the same time. * 7.39 to 10.39 is

I've been building PDF renderers for a few clients. The biggest request in PDFs has been accessibility. Everyone needs to be ADA compliant. I sadly don't see myself switching to a canvas renderer because then there is no accessibi

I agree, it's the reason this year I switched to iPhone even if I clearly prefer Android :(

NY has insane property taxes. I pay 11k for a 400k house. I have not seen property taxes so high anywhere else in the country.

As a developer I love the idea of plaid, but the pricing is scary. The 100 first banks is great, but the pay as you go does not give me any ideas of the pricing. I love how Stripe presented the pricing page, 1.5$ per account, 10cents per fe

I'm not really sure this is comparable to Strava. First this only covers mountain biking, I use Strava also for runs, swims, skiing, and it can do a lot more. Secondly I don't actually use Strava to record or view data, I use Garm

Do you live in Manhattan? 110k in Manhattan is a bit tight to be honest. Also 110k seems quite low for a Tech Director. In NY the average for a Tech Director salary is 160k-240k My first recommendations to you would be consider looking for

Have you tried recent devices? Garmin used to have a bump on some forerunners, my wife had it, it was very uncomfortable. I personally have the Vivoactive 3, which is flat, I've been wearing it 24/7 except for charging (during the

Garmin or Suunto provide much better quality than Fitbit, Fitbit is a cheap quality. Garmin, Apple and Suunto aren't. Just check what the pros are using :)

Would be only great if my kids stay in school 5 days a week. Otherwise it will be just another day I need to entertain my kids. Sure 3 day weekends for traveling would be great, but I already do that with PTOs. I want 6 hour work days 5 tim

I love Firefox's features, but I've tried it for a week and I just have a too big loss of performance. My 2017 Macbook pro with 8gb of RAM just doesn't cut it. The browser is something I use +6 hours per week, I can't h

I save all my photos and videos I take, I don't feel like it's that much, but still a good 700gb. I personally love having it, and look at it at least a couple of times a year. I just love having access to all this footage. Last w

I think wireless charging can be great for two reasons: - hiding it visually, Ikea has done it very well. A cable is ugly, air power is ugly. but if your night table has wireless charging hiding, it is very pleasant to hide cables entirely

I have a watch with also an irregular heart beat detection (Garmin). It sometimes detects irregular heart rates when I play video games. Usually in a very intense scenario such as a top 3 in a battle royale game.

I don't think small phone demand is low. I think it's just harder to make a small phone very good and premium, and keep the price low. Concerning the Sony, I personally got the Sony X3 Compact, I was quite disappointed with the Ca

"Doctors tell me I should exercise more" Do you exercise enough? Running has helped me a lot with stress. I used to hate running at school, and now its something that helps me relieve my stress, and i'm much happier.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mentioning Dave Ramsey. His podcasts, his youtube videos. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, he is a great resource. It's very easy to fall into the consumerism trap in the US. Plenty

"Elementary school starting so early all the kids are half asleep in class" That's the only reason I don't put my daughter on the school bus. I can save her an extra 30 minutes of sleep by driving her to the school myse

I have tried using Firefox several times this year, but on a Macbook with only 8gb of RAM the RAM usage was far too big compared to Chrome. It made the rest of my computer sluggish. And Firefox itself was slower than Chrome, one of the exam

Airplanes or portable computers. Laptops aren't perfect, you need to take them everywhere, the screen is much smaller, and they are expensive. Imagine a world where you only need a smartphone and a headset. You are traveling by airplan

I won't bother taking the survey, I only use a couple of services (EC2, RDS, SES, S3, Cloudfront) and I have no idea what the icons are for any of those services, even if I login on AWS daily.

So you literally missed a wedding and probably lost some friends and you still think it was a good idea? I mean I don't spend too much time on Facebook (I hate procrastinating so I'm limiting myself a lot). But it has been the mos

This downtime annoyed me at a critical time. Even though I think it's great they are transparent about it, I don't see myself using their DNS again.

It's not different for CS grads today. Half of my class was playing Quake 3 during classes :/. But one thing my school did perfectly, is force 3 months of internships per year, and leave at least 1 day per week without classes (an

Well at least it's nice for Macbook & Android users. I don't really like the Apple ecosystem but for my current work it's much easier to have a macbook. Now I can charge my Google Pixel and my Macbook with the same cable.

Google Drive wasn't able to handle 30gb of storage a couple of years ago when I tried it. It was lagging insanely. I now have 700gb of storage so i'm a bit scared to give Google Drive another chance. Dropbox works very well. Also

I've had 130Mbps on my 4g line. I work frequently on mobile hotspot, it already works nice if you are on a non-congested tower.

It's not about making excuses, it's about Facebook being the best tool. You could say that with anything, of course I could live without a car, without a cell phone, but they make the life better an easier. When I invite Family &a
