>Look how cold some countries and regions get? As someone from said countries and regions, people living outside freeze to death here. Long before you get to that point your water …

Depends on where you are in Canada. In Québec where electricity is cheap, most homes rely on electric heating. Of course, in Alberta where gas is cheap and electric is ~2.5x more e…

I interpret it closer to being pro-choice while hoping to not personally need an abortion. Unions form when workers feel they aren't being heard and aren't being properly represent…

A) also doesn't work unless all other road users (bikes, scooters, skateboards, pedestrians, etc.) are also banned from the roads. The other option is limiting the autonomous cars …

Agreed. That's my strategy for my road bike as well. For an ebike though? The whole point is to make getting places and doing errands easier. I use a cheap beater bike for this kin…

I imagine it would depend on the state. In California, I believe they can get away with putting "0" as the number of vacation days you are entitled to, so any of the "unlimited" da…

They can't afford not to. The alternative is shutting down, no?

Is this supposed to be an argument in favour of the 2 hour commute? Because that still sounds like a miserable waste of time to me. I would take the pay cut, look for a new job, or…

I haven't tried it, it looks to me like it doesn't support N-key rollover out of the box which would definitely be a problem. You can try it out but if you wanted to put more serio…

Both approaches can work, but lead to different outcomes. The market for "todo list" apps is absolutely big enough there's room for more than one company. The beauty of the bootstr…

> or the literal connotation makes you a little uncomfortable. How so? "The people's car" seems rather innocuous to me. My only guess would be that it could make some American anti…

Working through a problem out loud is definitely a bit of a different skill from just solving a complex problem on your own. I do find that saying something along the lines of "OK …

I can honestly say that SimpleTax has been life changing for me, and is a great example of just how important UX can be. My partner used to have literal panic attacks trying to fil…

As others have mentioned, this post is about Shopify apps, not Shopify stores. I'd recommend doing a bit more research before deciding to boycott a company. They're absolutely not …

Chess matches usually involve multiple games, so you don't need to win every game to win the match. It's not uncommon to play trying to avoid a loss (going for a draw), instead of …

Agreed that the jacket is great. Point is, as a Canadian I consider it a layering piece, not a winter jacket. :)

I get what you're saying, but I'd be very surprised if they added extra weight in these ones. They're made of solid metal and have magnets to hold the ear pads in. I imagine that's…

See, this just tells me that 3-5 sick days is completely inadequate. I've been fortunate to generally have virtually unlimited sick days, and I very much prefer that to having to u…

You're not far off on your numbers, they laid off around 1900 people back in May, out of ~7500 employees. I would think the IPO is happening despite the pandemic, not because of it…

It's possible. Another factor is simply how air-tight the seals are. My older fountain pens tend to dry out faster than most modern ones. There are also some pens (Platinum 3776 fo…
