You should unfollow the people who are posting bullshit. That's all stuff from people you chose to follow.

While you were gone is different from the algorithmic feed. It's a short section you can easily scroll past to get to the main feed. The algorithmic feed re-sorts the whole thing.

I'd also wonder if there's something that skews more people who have rose gold phones to break them? Maybe they're less likely to use a case because they want to show off the color? Or maybe rose gold skews younger (and there

Not a chance. It's a short, easy, and cheap flight. The airport is a pain, but not enough to extend the trip by that much just to avoid it.

The price estimation is not their primary purpose (unlike Zillow, who use their "Zestimate" as a main selling point).

Is that based on actually using it, or just on hearing about it? I thought the same thing until I started playing with it. Now I think it's great. For my friends who are on it, it's a MUCH more effective and fun way to stay in tou

I used VMS for a while (I never became a power user), and it always felt really weird to me. But I'm not sure if it actually IS weird, or if it just seemed that way because I was already so familiar with Unix. On the one hand, director

For me it's not so much about the design (that's obviously a matter of taste and preference), but materials and fit+finish.

The interior of the Model S feels much cheaper than any other $100k car I've been in, and also worse than most $50k cars I've been in. There's no possible way I'd rank the Model S as the best manufactured car based on th

BofA still offers it, but I don't use it because it requires Flash which I don't have installed in my browser. I just checked a few weeks ago, though, and it's still there.

I wish banks would offer something like OAuth - a service-specific, revokable credential with access only to the stuff it needs. I'd be a lot more inclined to use a product like Mint, for example, if I could grant it ONLY read access t

No. I really, really wish it weren't what weekends were for. Believe me. And I don't spend all of my weekends doing projects like that. But the reality of the industry is that not being up to date on technologies handicaps you i

Also, to be clear. I think that having many years of experience, hard-won judgement, really strong foundations, and experience with a variety of technologies (even if they aren't the newest) SHOULD be enough to be seriously considered

This is one of the reasons I spend time on the weekends doing projects in new technologies. I can put Rails, React, Angular, Swift, etc. on my resume and answer questions about them (and point to projects I've used them on). I see keep

That's a totally different food. It's not comparable (whether it tastes better or not is subjective, of course). I like all kinds of mac & cheese, from Kraft to the super fru-fru fancy stuff, and also just pasta with melted ch

I use FreeBSD for a fileserver because it has rock solid ZFS support. At least at the time I set it up (I haven't looked recently), neither OpenBSD nor Linux supported ZFS nearly as well.

You can get an S Class or similar via Uber today, but you have to order an Uber Lux, which is quite a bit more expensive than a regular Black (though I have gotten a BMW 7 Series as a Black before). Of course, none of these cars are owned b

Your point about Yelp reviews is good, but I'd say that reviews from people with Groupons, Living Social deals, going on Restaurant Week, etc. are generally worthless, and I've often wished for a way to filter them out. And it
