    Using the same code analogy as the parent, this is like code with unnecessary extra commenting. Seems okay to me.

    Even with your understated numbers, with everything being as worse as possible, you ended up with a pretty decent wage for 5 evenings of work. In reality, half of the US population…

    Can we try to figure out sociologically, why by default unmoderated social forums become far-right oriented? Is it because: - People on the far-right are magnitudes more vocal and …

    Oh yeah but I was talking about motivating the developers. I think it might be challenging to hire people who just work on porting.

    It might also be an issue with motivation. Would you want to work on something that's basically a clone, so there's no creativity but purely porting + solving annoying platform-rel…

    This solution is on the user side, which is great because each person can get and manage saved pages for themselves. But if we're looking for a developer side solution, then making…

    With today's remote work and overuse of the internet, WebRTC is really critical. Same with WebP -- the bandwidth savings there could be immense in a time when we're using more inte…

    I think we also need to be open minded that maybe 'remote work for everyone' is actually less effective. And it will be hard to show evidence otherwise -- this current test case we…

    You might not using it that much I'm guessing. It's meant for power users like teachers, academics, government agencies, people who are doing video conference more than once every …

    It seems like content moderation is just a crazy wicked problem. And the company is doing the best it can with a lot of constraints. Better communication with the workers sounds li…

    No offense to you personally, but I find the opinions you expressed to be naive and self-centered. The open source software you're releasing (scratch-an-itch software) is much diff…

    I'm not sure what devices you have now, but I've moved completely to usb-c and love it. I threw out all my other cables, and have usb-c charging on every floor of my house and car.…

    If you remove the editorializing, I don't see a bit of difference between "moviepass says you can see all the films (but if everyone did they would go broke, and they did go broke,…

    I don't subscribe to your view at all, but I think this is an interesting discussion. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that users/customers should be trying to guess wh…

    I'm equally astonished how people can use so much data :) Like one of the other posters said, I don't stream on phone, and use the wifi at home and at work. I'd love to see the bre…

    I'm not sure how other people use so much data (besides video). I use whatever I want, and rarely go above 500MB ($5). I made sure to do the offline Google Maps (which I want anywa…

    Only two things I noticed when comparing on their website. 1) lock in contracts, and 2) they piggyback off the T-Mobile network while Google Fi dynamically uses the best of 3 netwo…

    I'm perplexed. I can see hating them for other reasons, but expensive would not be the word I associate with Google Fi. I pay $22 including taxes/fees per month, but it's probably …

    I've heard a lot about fragmentation, but just anecdotally it doesn't seem to be an issue in practice. My family has USB-C headphones, phones, laptops, remotes, and then USB-C char…
