I doubt Michael Malice and Ari Shaffir requested their episode be removed. Also, it's unlikely that such a concerted effort would take place within days by a large number of Joe's …

> [Ulysses] was banned for “obscenity” in both Britain and the US. In Britain, the director of public prosecutions Archibald Bodkin read only the last section, Molly’s monologue, a…

It was a Mythbusters episode, and they concluded that you needed to be following the truck extremely closely (I believe within a couple of feet) to see a gain in fuel efficiency. T…

You might be thinking of the UI as of a month ago. They've updated it last month and botched both the look and the experience, that's what this thread is mostly about.

It's a quick read and an interesting peek behind the curtain at Apple during the development of the iPhone, with a focus on designing elements like the keyboard and predictive text…

The same argument can be made about any TV station. "Political propaganda" is a broad term and "harmful" is subjective. Using these labels to censor content / deplatform you disagr…

And I'm usually a defender of most interface updates, I know most people resist change especially when it impacts their muscle memory. But I think that change is good for the brain…

If hypothetically this would happen, wouldn't gaining access to everyone's wallets render it useless since BTC would no longer have value? If so, the goal would just be to disrupt …

I've been trying Nova for the last couple of months. Native it may be, but the performance with larger files is not on par with Sublime. Also it has some weird bugs (mostly in Git …

We're switching over to Zoho for our latest startup. If you have more than one Google account the switching between personal and business is a nightmare. Some features are unavaila…

Not to hijack your thread, I'll give this a try, but I've recently started using Sorted for this type of task management and the feature I find most important is the ability to shi…

I was in England last week of December and no one but a handful of tourists were wearing masks, so it probably will not make much of a difference. I was only asked once for a vacci…

It seems like back then people were smiling to a passerby and not to the camera. They'd keep a stern face when they were knowingly photographed. Now we smile for the camera, but no…

Caffeine is delivered quite differently based on the brewing method. I find that 4 or more shots of espresso a day will lead to an eye twitch, while one or two cups of Philz delive…

There are different types of platforms: If you sell something through Amazon and the buyer commits fraud, Amazon will still pay you provided that it was credit card fraud. If you s…

It is the same with Airbnb. The platform does not allow you to perform your own guest verification, there isn't any fraud detection score that you can see (like Stripe Atlas would …

If the mutations continue, at some point the mortality rate will likely meet the mortality rate of the seasonal flu. Hopefully we can then compare COVID to the season flu on any la…

In large cities on the east coast we didn't run into this problem because nearly every new development had a doorman. In the Bay Area and LA many apartment buildings don't have a f…

Short-term housing is different, if you lower rates below a certain threshold you are competing with local motels but you are offering a residential space governed by a different s…

As a short-term housing operator in the Bay Area, specializing in hosting tech workers, we've witnessed first hand the decline in quality of life and exile of the tech traveler. It…

When talking to someone native to the area I would often times mention that I was taken aback by the amount of homelessness and open drug use in the streets of San Francisco. (This…

They almost definitely have an arbitration clause in the agreement, since companies like Amazon, eBay, Airbnb wish to avoid going to court altogether so as not to establish a prece…

You have the option to choose any of the other EV makers, but this one EV maker has very fast charging stations worldwide in strategic locations, with lounges and predictable charg…
