Call me a teenager because, years later, I still enjoy the things you mention about driving stick. The difference is that I own two cars: a boring and comfy automatic for DD and a …

There’s always a financial angle in most situations. After all, taking care of a really sick patient (or someone with a difficult condition) costs the state money. If you read the …

Go buy a few private acres for that. If your dog shares public space with others you don’t get to just let it off leash.

Did you seriously just suggest that Amazon time the individualistic liquid consumption and bladders of their drivers? Do you have any idea how much outrage that would cause? At lea…

Because there is a belief, not unfounded, that some portion of refugees (percentage depends on party affiliation) are lying about their situation and are actually just economic mig…

Consider that paper filters may be more environmentally friendly than metal ones. Just look at a comparison of CO2 emissions between reusable bags and paper ones as an example. You…

Yes. Hire an architect with a proven track record and significant experience and give them the responsibility. Reading a few medium articles or an O’Reily book won’t be a substitut…

Agreed. Retrieving a single random record was enough to prove vulnerability. Analyzing several days worth of data (why??? What does that prove???) crosses the line firmly into blac…

I’m sorry, but you can’t speak for all vegetarians in the world. Some may find it offensive so we must err on the side of caution. After all, it’s just one word. /s

What I love most are the efforts spent protecting hypothetical people who may take offense and who aren’t actually there. “Oh, you’re actually agnostic? Well, you still can’t say t…

The real root cause is that everyone wants to live (for obvious reasons) in places where housing supply is constrained like SF, LA, or NYC. Home ownership is easy in places like De…

At some point one (ideally both to avoid conflict later) will have to decide to go all in on your idea or otherwise it will always limp along due to the two of you not having enoug…

> People are going to do what they want Sure, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to influence people in other areas, so why should it stop us here. By this argument we should abo…

For that last part just give this number a call and those boys will hook you up: 800-225-5324

So basically: “I’m not calling you racist, just your entire peer group”. Cool, thanks. You do realize plenty of white people live around the world outside the US too, right?

We beat them in 1945 just so we didn’t have to do that!

In all these discussions we forget that science is “created” by humans and thus just as fallible as humans are. “Trust in science or “because science” are just ways to shut down di…

None by themselves. Every news source has an agenda; no exceptions. That’s like asking: what’s one food I can eat forever and stay healthy? Our only recourse is to consume a varied…

You are looking at COVID too high level. Plenty of people agree that it exists, but disagree with the details. Everything from just how serious the disease is, to how virulent, to …

They absolutely are. You don’t get to artificially limit scope just because it suits you. If you get robbed both at the ATM and on the way home you’re still coming back with less c…

They can’t because that’s all fiction.

Why has it been terrible? Do you have a customer success contact? Is your employer giving you time to learn SF or budget to hire a consultant? If there’s something missing all you …

Correct. Quip is not a wiki. I would call it an “opinionated and stripped-down version of GSuite with excellent collaboration support”. Quip also has chat stapled to it. Slack is m…

Salesforce is a CRM. If you want to call that “sales lead tool” instead then go for it. Doesn’t change why people buy it. Salesforce is a SaaS because it’s in the cloud. The first …

You’re pretty far off base, my dude. API quality varies from product to product. Base APIs object retrieval are excellent because tons of people use them so they received increment…
