Eh, not nearly as thought-provoking as it thinks it is. The sections about the old Settings app and how making all of the icons gray was an improvement contradict the complaints ma…

There's a difference between being unaware of something and actively denying it like the responses in this poll. It's good to also have knowledge of the events you called out, but …

Your theoretical examples imply that you think the age range called out in this article headline refers to children, when it's actually 18-29 year olds. These are legal adults that…

The Economist did an article about this as well and pointed out that math scores were already sliding downward in the US prior to 2019. They argued that COVID is only partly to bla…

It's a really vague ask and the article doesn't explain the specifics of what constitutes "plastic surgery filters." Are you no longer allowed to have pics with those Snapchat-esqu…

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

I think that's just being wise by broadening your horizons. You've already gotten the Army's take on this matter from your training. After a decade of both civilian and Army experi…

Since getting into weed, it's surprised me how little the anxiety-inducing effects of psychedelics are brought up. I tried smoking non-medicinal weed for the first time recently an…

Psychopathy is a hell of a drug

In theory, the idea of distributed, or at least decentralized online communities is something I like and want to see a return to. However, I think the folks championing this stuff …

Seeing the original site design, which is considered "superior" by its users to the new one, makes me feel very out-of-touch with what many others consider good user experience des…

I think the more click-baitey aspect of the article title is that they didn't specify that this occurred 60–80 years ago; it's phrased as if this test recently happened. The US def…

Spreadsheets get a bad rap, particularly from software developers. However, even as a dev myself, I've always found them to be surprisingly powerful and a great tool for people who…

We're under the FDIC threshold in our account at the moment, so we are just riding it out expecting to get fully recouped in case of bank insolvency. We're looking into additional …

In 1,000 years humanity is going to look back on everyone alive today and think we are all backwards monsters for our conservative acceptance of the 40-hour work week, mistreatment…

One of the pieces of advice I received from the founder of a startup I once worked for is that you don't give out C-level titles at a young company other than what is legally requi…

If anything, this article was damning of Mastodon's outlook because it admits up front that joining an instance with a large user count has all of the same issues as Twitter with m…

That's why the BLS provides data for broken-down categories that make up the overall CPI calculation. Groceries saw a 12.4% increase in prices from a year ago, with dairy products …

How long ago was that a thing? I got in in the 2000s and there was only a single email system for the entire Army. 10 years ago they moved the whole DoD to DEE.

I don't know the best way society can better integrate the knowledge and viewpoints of domain experts into public policy. On one hand, the approach put forth in the article is to s…

It really begs the question "what is a company?" if one can shift between such disparate markets. Surely mission doesn't define a company then. Perhaps ability to accumulate capita…

I work at a global corporation with 50,000 employees. Even though I've never been at Google I felt every pain point this video was getting at because our company is trying to imple…

I'm not saying it can't be done cheaper or more efficiently on simpler providers or even self-hosting, but you need the expertise and time to stand up the foundation of a secure pl…

> May I ask how you dealt with this? Were you able to explain it to Amazon support and get some of these charges forgiven? Also, how would you recommend monitoring for this type of…
