I have a 3rd generation iPad (MC706LL/A) and want to watch videos on it, but both Disney+ and Amazon Prime are not compatible with it. Any clever workarounds for these apps, or am …

Thanks, I didn't know about Splash, and I like it! Too bad my system admin disabled the Microsoft store.

Any good recommendations for downloading desktop backgrounds? I'm looking for pictures or artwork to use for my dual screen monitors. But I find it difficult to find high res downl…

For me the pandemic has actually allowed me to spend more time outdoors and with my children and as a result less time online. We have been taking walks daily and started gardening…

The problem I see at my company is one of incentives. However much as a manager I want my staff to "maintain" and "care", the performance review process rewards people who can "inn…

I'm in a similar situation at my large financial institution and it's gotten so bad that even as a director I'm tempted to start learning COBOL to understand what I'm up against

I have a Bluetooth headset that I will connect with (a) my phone, (b) my computer and (c) my iPad. The headset can only pair with 2 devices at a time. I find myself constantly walk…

I worked with eye tracking software a decade ago and one of the most interesting and tricky problems was your eye would look at the cursor and over compensate, causing the cursor t…

I tried Nextdoor but quickly closed the app when it was filled with rumors about who in the neighborhood isn't cleaning up after their dog. Maybe I'm throwing away the baby with th…

If like me you don't know what therbligs meant, it's a list of 18 motions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therblig#:~:text=Therbligs%2... .

I like how they say "no earlier than the forth quarter" in their announcement. Though it may not inspire confidence in a deliverable date, I might start trying to use the turn of p…

The physicality of a constructed graph like this draws me in. I used to work in commercial construction and the superintendent would print out the Gannt chart schedule on a large p…

My daughter is doing a science project on the effects of nature on happiness. I appreciate anyone willing to fill out this anonymous survey or any other help!

I used to stop in at the Godiva store in the mall nearby--mainly went there for gifts and the occasional overpriced drinking cocoa on a date. Personally my chocolate consuming habi…

In Isaac Asimov's "End of Eternity" he posed a similar concept where contrary to the butterfly effect where minor changes ripple through time, time has a mechanism of self-preserva…

Just realized this was from 4 years ago. But it's an evergreen concept almost even more needed now. I do appreciate even the political perspectives on HN which feel more reasoned t…

It's similar to the expression I hear frequently at my company--"I don't have all the answers, but I have all the questions".

I like the concept of declaring bankruptcy on chats. I've done this on email more times than I'd like to admit.

I just rolled the metrics into Specific and it seems to work

I attended training at my work where they changed M to Motivating, and I use that with all of my employees' objectives. One might say that if it's Relevant then it should be motiva…

Ironically I missed the structure that came from the vow of obedience that felt at times like I gave up all my individual freedom. I learned this gave me focus on the thing at hand…

Interesting to see this on the front page! I spent a year in a monetary mostly cloistered. While I'm glad now for the life I ultimately chose of having a family, I often draw from …
