wow I didn't realize this was hobby territory. How accessible is it to a layperson?

So I'm trying to navigate the personal cognitive dissonance I'm facing after reading your comment. Would you agree that "All Lives Matter" is racist because it's derisive of "Black…

(Some) Functionality is also lost on the front camera, faceid sensor and battery.

On iPhone 12 and moreso on 13, many genuine OEM parts cannot be swapped by anyone other than those authorized by Apple.

sorry, maybe a dumb question but did you have to be physically in Montana?

Your wording seems a bit off mark. The Minister of Health is recommending everyone to always have an emergency reserve in case of any unforseen event, from illness to power blackou…

* People stop fighting the data privacy fight. Laws will be created for user data collection consent, but people will ignore it like current day EULA or terms. Killer applications …

This already exists to an extent on the other end of the transaction. Payment processors like Stripe are too ubiquitous to not have some level of oversight. Some bot had flagged me…

These purple urchin are a lot smaller than the commonly harvested red urchin, resulting in less uni. Even the urchin are starving due to overpopulation and loss of kelp.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around 4g of CO2 per email. That's a lot! That's like driving a car for 50 feet per email!

Wow, this app saved my butt over a year ago when I ran out of laptop battery while out in the field. It was one of those rare cases where my low expectations did a complete 180 in …

The threshold for banning needs to be scrutinized for essential services. There's potential to really hurt people's quality of life, particularly people that are already disadvanta…

I tend to agree - critical services like transportation should have some oversight in how they're gatekeeping. Another example is Stripe - some small number of users are incorrectl…

I was excited to stop by their Emeryville "HQ" only to find out its a corporate office.

There exists ductless HRVs too. HRVs are generally quite expensive. https://foursevenfive.com/lunos-e/

The copy on their product pages is also incredibly deceptive. Buying "Intuit TurboTax Deluxe 2018, Federal with State + Efile" means only the Federal Efile is included, and additio…

>it's actually 12,374 (65%) units that are listed as entire unit I had filtered out the 3300 "Entire home/apt" listings that were available for 0 days a year. Not sure why it's par…

I think it's reasonable to assume Airbnb reduces supply. I don't see how you can conclude the 30% rent increase you experienced was largely driven by Airbnb. Lets say anyone rentin…

I find this argument a lot whenever Airbnb is mentioned. Do you have a source available? Rent has increased significantly in Toronto recently. How do you know Airbnb is a significa…
