I generally agree with the statements here but the example of the baby thermometers seems to be a false equivalence since there is no variation of pricing of the products but inste…

Agreed I was going to buy a set of robotic cat ears for my partner.

I'm not convinced that the Feedly option is as much of a dark pattern as you might think. There are a few ways this could be addressed which would come with their own tradeoffs: 1)…

MSFT just announced custom Azure chips too which likely also played into the "synergy" with Sam's desire to reduce reliance on Nvidia as computing capacity and demand scales with A…

I think they’re referring to China doing rain seeding ( https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/08/17/asia/china-heat-drought-c... )

I’ve been lucky to have caught a flight back to SF after cancellations and can wait at home while figuring out how to get to my original destination. What I don’t understand is how…

I’ll believe it when I see it, I am out of pocket $500 so far in chaining my own flights on other airlines to get to my destination after my SW flight on Christmas Eve was cancelle…

Nope it was moist and delicious! Separated the skin from the meat and rubbed with salt and sugar. 450 for an hour then 325 until the internal temp was at 157+. Breast was foiled to…

I think we should explain this more clearly to the original author; it’s probably true that maybe 5% work on ads but that is literally the ads system like Adwords and Adsense. The …

If anyone is going to build this, that would be an awesome DIY project but hopefully you have a printer that works w/o buying one.

What about a physical front page that gets printed daily using something like an HP Designjet T210? You can mount it (it's wireless) and it can print 2' wide from a roll of paper. …

I think Rhinehart’s perspective may be that a generation of people are focused on solving the wrong problems (ones that don’t have real impact on human lives) and we (collective) a…

There’s a range of flexibility offered including many homes that have free cancellation until 5 or 1 day before check-in. Some are on Stricter policies that are more strict than wh…

What’s nuts about the cancellation policies? Genuinely curious as I lead that team.

What about Draper University in San Mateo?

Yes, it's most likely that the ad that's matching is the generic one for "Lansing, MI BBQ" or something to that effect and therefore it's not pointing to a specific landing page. I…

This is either dynamic keyword insertion in the ad copy or they did target a specific restaurant name but decided to use a more generic landing page. In my previous life doing more…

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the transparency in this process and find a way for donors to support but also get something in return: 1) Can businesses be open abo…

I would've said yes to Florida at some point in my life. Florida is my backup state.

I’m sure someone has suggested this at some point but why not physical keys with an lcd underneath each key? This would allow those keys to be fully customizable and be worthy of t…

Their 1st gen service offered quite a bit of luggage and equipment transport for free (bike or surfboard) so it was super interesting to me. You could get on Friday night and go to…

I was being facetious. It definitely is extremely misleading based on any common understanding of what a “pick” implies in terms of quality or attributes of a product.

I guess that isn't wrong, your boss is part of the staff and they have "picked" the poorly selling wines to highlight. It didn't say "Staff Recommended" or "Staff Favorites"

Burger King actually flame grills their burger patties - are you saying they are overly tough or overly burnt?

When the hotel participates with an OTA like Expedia or others, they are not paying for the facilitation of the booking, they are paying for the demand that Expedia has generated f…
