Ok, in the extreme case, that's a fair point. Tests can't be unlimited in length. But I don't think it's actually that tricky to draw the line. If a typical school test is 1 hour d…

Agree!

That's a much bigger meta question, like what's even the point of putting timing constraints on any test? Logistically, my kid has to go a testing center at the school during his f…

I have a teenager who is at an academically rigorous college prep school. He is incredibly bright and one of the best students in the school. But he has an accommodation in math fo…

Just curious, anyone using Siri regularly these days? If so, how/for what? I keep trying Siri every once in a while but it doesn’t seem to stick. Only use I find is setting an alar…

It’s also one more possible point of failure. My adapter causes intermittent skipping and cracklings noises, probably because the contact points aren’t secure. So I’ve basically st…

I don't think this is a common case for "regular users" but in my library of coding books, I find both very useful. For example, O'Reilly has a very different style/quality compare…

I find all notifications and badges disturbing which is why I turn all of them off on my iPhone except for phone calls/text messages from my family, alarms I set, and calendar appo…

I love Colemak and have used it for years. Typing with it feels absolutely great compared to QWERTY (mostly with less finger travel to reach common keys) but I agree that it's not …

Why do companies sell products cheaper on Amazon than on their own website? It would seem better for companies to at least price their products on their e-commerce website the same…

I'm really surprised that Gumroad has such low gross margins. For April 2018 $65k gp on $273k revenue is 24% gm. It looks better in December $135k gp on $341k revenue is 40%, but s…

Few thoughts: For me personally, I experience a lot of ego depletion during the day. But having kids tends to do that. There's no way I can write at the end of the day, I'm just wa…

Also referenced in the news article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2018/10/04/app-sca... Has anyone else had issues with these deceptive scams in the Apple App Store? I…

Another +1 for Colemak. I tried both Dvorak and Colemak about 8 years ago. I hated Dvorak, mostly because it ruins ctrl+z/x/c/v shortcuts. Also, right pinky hurt from frequently ty…

I actually like the concept of inserting the images in between the "LIBRARY" bookends. I agree that the narrow slab san-serif typeface is mildly inappropriate for a library, but it…

Thanks for your feedback. I have heard from some of my friends who also run small businesses that they also plan to do nothing. I think for a purely practical perspective, it's ext…

Thanks mjewtoo, I appreciate the feedback. Re #1: To be exempt you must fit all 3 criteria: 1. processing is occasional 2. does not include, on a large scale, processing of special…

I'm not a lawyer, but my interpretation of GDPR and the research I've done suggests that my current lead magnet approach (which is at least in the US very common) gives me consent …

No, I definitely value my time. I actually (and maybe strangely) have appreciated the opportunity to review my data processes, privacy policies and security. I think my business is…

As a solo business owner based in the US, I’ve been spending the last couple weeks learning about GDPR and getting compliant. While it has not been a fun process, I do think in gen…
