I don't have a problem with demos, they're great. It's the fact it's not advertised that way that really irked me. Maybe it's buried in the description somewhere, but the first ind…

I got really turned off when it was listed as "Free (with in-app purchases)". Turns out it's basically a 10 minute demo, after which you have to pay $9.99. Maybe it's good, but dec…

Documentation. I'm a sort of internal consultant in my company who often interfaces with external customers. I've repeatedly heard that no one else provides as thorough yet easily …

I'm not positive, but I think you specifically have to ask for it. Before I found that the best I ever got was a shipping refund if I paid for the 1-day upgrade. Now I just quote t…

There is a bit of compensation available. If an item doesn't arrive in 2 days you can request a free month of Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=...…

It looks like the Focus adblocker they launched last year [1] has been updated to a full browser. 1) https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/12/08/announcin...

I don't think that applies here. According to the FDA Guidelines [1] (page 4) for a dietary supplement: "Furthermore, a dietary supplement must be labeled as a dietary supplement a…

I count 5 different 3.5mm jacks I use on a regular basis (work headphones, gym headphones, car, girlfriend's car, home stereo). Now I need to buy 4 additional adapters from Apple f…

In addition to what others have posted, it only benefits those who have a mortgage when the deduction is passed. For everyone else it effectively raises the price of the house by t…

Then what's the incentive to participate at all? Would backing a project be equivalent to a 12 month high interest loan? Or, equivalent to an IPO where "backers" get a certain perc…

It would have been the same major metro area, but moved about 8 miles in the middle. Same ISP, different IP. Same computer, but there's no way I didn't completely clear the browser…

Facebook does the same thing and it's just as creepy. I closed my "real" account around 2011. A few months back I created a new blank account because I needed access to a couple or…

In my experience, the "loyalty" of older generations is largely a myth. I used to work for a company that had an enormous bimodal age distribution - maybe 45% over 50, 45% under 30…

The piece that I see ALWAYS neglected is maintenance. I rent and pay nothing additional to maintain the place. Washing machine breaks - landlord fixes it. Carpets wearing out (minu…

Definitely agree on the "do something in the gap" aspect. In a lot of technical fields, 6 non-practicing months can be very close to "no experience". My job responsibilities tend t…

Over the years I've evolved the strategy of asking very specific questions like that on forums. Precise code snippets seem to get precise answers. Broader code with the same proble…

It's just a coupling system. If you want to attach Legos to K'Nex, they will work fine in a handful of spots. Building an entire structure out of an AM construction set would be a …
