I’ll offer another perspective: human interaction. Good book stores have good staff, helpful other humans that will engage with you and guide you to something you would like. Computers can fill some, but not all of this role. We are social

Where were you a month ago when I was stripping a dozen of these things?! But seriously, I’m glad someone likes the job. The glazing is fun for me. Scraping a hundred years of paint off of molding with every possible radius… not so much.

I used to think of the lottery as a suckers bet, until I realized that for some people it is basically their only shot at transformative wealth. Put another way: If you’re poor, unconnected, and uneducated, your odds of becoming a billionai

Every company I've worked for has had some form of annual or bi-annual "hack week," where employees can form ad-hoc teams and work on something they think would be cool to exist. Sometimes it's a feature, sometimes it&#x

Most of these pieces of evidence seem worrisome. If I transact with a vendor and they screw me on the second transaction, why should my using the same payment method count against my chargeback? “Login credentials” and “proof of use” are ob

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. This seems like an earnest question.

I think you’ve taken this to an extreme that I didn’t. I’m explaining why women traveling alone might not want strange men to know their name and destination. But if you want to debate the merits: It’s unclear to me that this particular tec

The NYT ram an article a while back on Spotify listening by age; they found that people tend to latch on to what was popular when they were in their early teens.[1] So yes, on the music side this is probably dominated by demographics. Old p

I was replying to the parent, who asked why someone might be sensitive about these data points. I don’t claim to know the fidelity of the targeting. If someone is walking behind you in the same line and can see the data, I can see feeling c

I could imagine a woman prone to being harassed being put off by this technology. My wife flies for business and (occasionally) gets hit on by strange men. Not all the time, and usually not very icky, but there’s been at least one that veer

It could be either. In most cases it is likely both (shrinking margins, higher prices). The price is determined by the market. But there’s a demand curve. There are many prices that an item could sell at, with varying numbers of buyers at e

I’ve owned several 1910s/1920s era single family homes. So not quite as old, as what you’re describing, but close. As long as you stay on top of it, the maintenance is totally reasonable. Putting a new roof on is identical to any other

This was particularly noticeable to me riding San Francisco light rail to work. When trains run underground they start and stop under computer control. Nice, smooth acceleration and deceleration. On the surface (or when the computer control

I may not be representative, but the vast majority of my Google searches are troubleshooting. If I need to know how an API works, I go straight to the docs. Put another way, troubleshooting is a several times per week task for me, and doing

I made a slightly more tunable one after being disappointed with the "official" flicker. I saw more visuals speeding it up closer to 10hz, but still just basic geometric shapes. https://igmcdowell.github.io/ganzfel

As a citizen of Portland, OR, I can verify that national news outlets heavily distort reality to draw eyeballs. I’m not sure local news is a whole lot better, but at least you can count on readers to call bullshit.

I wasn't up on this, so looked it up. Apparently they narrowed the definition of what "counts as an autodialer" to effectively open a large exemption for devices that you or I would consider an autodialer. As long as the auto

Pretty sure you have this backward. Landlords don’t get to decide how much people are willing to pay to rent. They charge the market clearing price (or as close to it as possible). This isn’t based on what they paid for the property, though

Of note: bootstrapping is (potentially) hackable between two willing parties. At least per Aron’s study[1]. Who knows if it would replicate. At least in my own relationships I have seen the pattern of escalating personal self-disclosure lea

I have personally worked on a team where velocity collapsed under the weight of the test suite. There were lots of brittle mocks. I think we even did mock out the Ruby equivalent of the HTTP client. Every change would inevitably break tests

Same. I’m not on Facebook’s radar, but I get Amazon recruiter spam to my inbox every 2-3 months. This is a far higher rate than any other company.

Yep. My first job out of college was support at a consumer web company. The vast majority of people did not need a PMs attention. Honestly a larger percentage of them needed psychiatric help. The problem comes when there’s no escalation pat

It felt unfair to the employee offering to help. They (probably) have no control over LinkedIn customer support. It looked like trying to scoring internet points at the expense of the person offering help.

Not sure if this is in good faith or not, but escalating through an internal contact is going to skip a couple layers of support at minimum, and reduce the chance of a misunderstanding. Also potentially some people in CS might be in on what

God bless the USCA (or BSC, or whatever they call it now). It breaks my heart that other students don’t have that opportunity for community. It’s not for everyone, but by far the most interesting years of my life were living in the Berkeley

The $999 M1 air was such a bargain, I was hoping they’d keep the price that low with the upgrade. Possibly they’re moving to the iPhone model of keeping the last gen around as a lower price entry level device.

Once you select the model you can customize the memory on the next page. As others have mentioned, +$200 for 16GB, +$400 for 24GB
