Would be cool to have an embedded typeform-type widget that compliments disqus that takes the following flow: - are you interested in meeting offline? - which country? - which city…

You're confusing a breathalyzer with a field sobriety test, the latter of which no one should agree to. It's the sort of test that asks you to walk straight, hop on one leg, allow …

I’m not speaking from the startup world, but the sheer amount of small businesses that don’t do any level of revenue forecasting, financial modeling, or even formal budgeting and s…

I had to stop playing for a while because the music really got stuck in my head. What a fantastic game though, it really is so fun. The "Woooow" at some upgrades always make me chu…

I think there’s a bunch of these in Miami which is fun to see because they have chimneys that will never get used

One thing the Apple Watch is missing is being able to call a Lyft or Uber. Not something I do super often but it really would let me leave the phone at home more often. Also would …

For someone who lives in a very small apartment, my WFH setup takes an annoyingly large part of my living space. If I can build a comfortable work environment in VR/AR, I can get r…

This would be perfect, but in English, the description on the left refers to graph points in Meters while the visuals' data points are in feet.

Heads up, the greenhouse api is returning 0 jobs so none are listed

What’s something you’d recommend to a friend as a beach read?

I read this article and a week later came across one of his works (with the signature lemon peel!) at the Met. Would not have been able to recognize him without it. I love how the …

Why not move hobby projects and droplets to the $4 tier when it launches? It’s cheaper and likely enough to do what you want

Why wouldn’t you? As a person with a job, are you ashamed of how much you make (either too much or too little)? Or is it a violation of your privacy? If you were a person looking f…

It’s hard to make people care with “bad/user hostile/privacy invading” because those terms have saturated descriptions of behavior that users are okay with. Example: tons of articl…

It’s a rather unconvincing but mean way to discount someone. If anything, FB saying how unrelated she is to these problems absolves her of being a part of it. Focus on the document…

But inflation has to do with the supply of money, not the supply of goods, right? Genuine question

So why did vaccinations suddenly become a huge problem with people today? Are these people who were never going to go to college but would have caused a fuss if the school demanded…

Interestingly, this thread has got me surprised that there are so many vaccine skeptics or people that have such a deep mistrust in these vaccination incentives. You do have a righ…

To enable offline mode, I had to turn on airplane mode on my phone before logging in.

Spot on that I am bringing the national discussion around the California drought into context while reading the article. On costs: > Some California farmers who pay for the service…

This isn’t both sides treatment, this is reporting on the desperation of vineyard managers in a drought that would shell out around $1000 (when geologists charge several times that…

Some perspective from someone who has worked in hospitality: Some brands have fought back in creative ways. An essential part of being listed on Booking or Expedia is to agree to n…

By "references" does he mean "cherry-picked people from my life who will say only good things about me"? No one I provide as a reference to a job at Apple is going to say something…

I think FOMO fuels a desire to stay attached to screens (or fuels a rejection of mind-calming activities), which in turn increases FOMO when 90% of social media is about productivi…

If you think OSX is user hostile because of intentional vendor-specific keyboard keys, note that Windows computers have a “Windows” key. Is that an international standard? I think …
