People need to stop with this whole "only commercial real estate supports working from the office" nonsense. Some of us simply want our job to provide us with a space where we can …

I don't understand why I'm supposed to be outraged here. As a customer, I get the experience of a cashierless store. I don't really care how that's accomplished. As an investor, I …

I'm 31. I was under the impression that it was mostly a big step change in your mid to late 20s and then mostly remained stable. Also if the issue here were age, I assume that GP w…

What in the world? Are those USD? I pay $1200 a year to insure my Tesla Model S at the max liability coverage, with comprehensive and collision. Admittedly, I've filed that I drive…

A large number of my larger edits are fixing up voice / tone to make an article read more like an encyclopedia and less like an excited blog post.

I love how in the US, instead of building all these services and offices near each other and walkable from people's homes, we insist on ideas that force people to drive dozens of m…

Who's going to pay for me to upsize my apartment so I can make a home office? Working from the same desk I use for my personal computer / gaming is really taking a toll on the ol' …

I've been working at the same desk I had set up for my personal computer since quarantine started and it's mentally a disaster when the difference between personal time and work ti…

It seems to me that someone with this philosophy has never tried to change or refactor a subsystem of a very complicated legacy project. Sure, sometimes your tests fail because the…

Oo that's very good to know, thank you! I give it a 50% chance I try it out and hate it but very glad it's an option.

Since we're on the topic of the Airpods noise cancellation, does anyone know why Apple doesn't let you enable noise cancelling with only one Airpod in? Is it just that they're worr…

Gas taxes are already not-that-high of a fraction of what funds the roads anyway: https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2015/05/debunking-the...

> some days we need to hide it because he's particularly fixated and getting him to bed time becomes difficult. Do you have a device that supports night shift? I wonder if using th…

Interesting. I'm in a similar boat as you (5 years of professional experience) and I had decided to pass on my co-workers' reading group for this book, but based on your review I'm…

Thank you for taking the time to write up this long response. That's definitely a lot to think about!

But...am I accomplishing those things, or am I going to a lot of meetings about how to make the customer feel good about the things we accomplished?

I realize this isn't really the main point of the article, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently: Can someone explain to me why I should want to become good at…

It's happened before: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldrich_Ames * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen There may very well be people who are getting away with doing it n…

For what it's worth, we let bridges crumble, communities sit without clean drinking water, and are intentionally bankrupting our postal service in the hopes of being able to privat…

I think to whatever extent it's possible to get buzzword poisoning, this article would do it.

Am I missing something or is your link making the exact opposite point that you made?

Yup, the fingerprinting portion of that was what I had in mind.

Wasn't there some website where you could pull a relatively small number of easily accessible prefs from the browser (OS, list of fonts, browser, etc.) and get a nearly uniquely id…

I've set the group policy and still come home to find my desktop having rebooted

It's really more like getting a Ford vs third-party part for your car, which yes, every car manufacturer will recommend. It's not like Apple is trying to sell you Apple electricity…
