They do. The amount of magic involved to make it work is amazing from an engineering perspective.

Yup. I hopped back on Facebook in 2012, and it quickly became the nexus of my online life. I started to get wrapped into how I maintained my presence, the kinds of witty things tha…

I might be alone in this sentiment, but is anyone else out there with a history working with Boeing or in the industry feel slightly irritated with the armchair hot takes seen in t…

I live in a building with a quite a few nurses that work at that hospital. It kind of scares me that one of them open mouth coughed in the elevator with me the other night. Probabl…

I just left a company that used an in-house cloud object storage product for their cloud DVR service. It was an amazing piece of tech that was hamstrung by some of the most irritat…

This was one of those things that always ruined time travel movies for me. If I went back in time a few hours, would I be floating in the upper atmosphere? Go back few years, am I …

I used to be in the anti sticker camp, but then someone nearly walked off with my identical MacBook Pro at Newark. After that, I've gone through three laptops and each one ends up …

I fucking love whiteboards. So much so that I had my office desk partially covered in a whiteboard sheet[1] and used that with fine tip dry erase pens in lieu of of and paper. The …

So a blimp?

The Charleston build out just felt rushed. From the IT perspective, it felt that everything was half assed, where the thought they could just stamp Everett in South Carolina. I hav…

From the tone of the article and what I would expect to see from some of the comments here eventually, you would think that Seattle united in fighting its corporate fascist oppress…

This. The problem wasn’t too much austerity, it was that the pendulum seemed to always swing to extremes. Banking policy was always painted as a binary choice of excessive welfare …

I always liked the idea of a two tier Euro, like 1:3, and I feel like that could have helped Southern Europe and nudged their fiscal policies closer inline with the ECB. They also …

In an alternate world where the New Territories had their lease renewed, they probably would remained semi autonomous and any kind of full on independence would agitate China. I do…

They still do, and a quite a bit of English

I guess I'll be honest here as I spent way too long trying to come up with a response as your comment rattled a part of me, the part that gets a touch emotional when walking across…

Went from two 27” thunderbolt displays that were side by side, to two Dell 38” stacked on top of each other. With the bottom monitor closer to the desk and the chair a bit higher, …

It might be a bit dark and somewhat controversial to think about in light of mental health and what not, but maybe there is a point where civilized entities advance past a need of …

I had been hoping to some degree that this and Oumuamua were stronger pieces of hard to answer bits that said maybe, just maybe, these could not be easily explained away as "not fr…

I let them know about this way back when, email went into a void.

Pretty sure this puts a strain on the relationship between Costco and Apple on some level. It’s also just a dick thing to do.

Yeah, more like “great”, but with a sarcastic tone to it.

I had an email about an iPod Nano. More than happy to talk to Apple about it, but when I emailed them in 2010 about the scheme my friend was running, I never heard anything back.
