I think there is an idea there, but this obviously won't work. Here are some large drawbacks: * timezones, most of the world is not on EST. If you make it per timezone, then not ev…

I've been building PDF renderers for a few clients. The biggest request in PDFs has been accessibility. Everyone needs to be ADA compliant. I sadly don't see myself switching to a …

I agree, it's the reason this year I switched to iPhone even if I clearly prefer Android :(

NY has insane property taxes. I pay 11k for a 400k house. I have not seen property taxes so high anywhere else in the country.

As a developer I love the idea of plaid, but the pricing is scary. The 100 first banks is great, but the pay as you go does not give me any ideas of the pricing. I love how Stripe …

I'm not really sure this is comparable to Strava. First this only covers mountain biking, I use Strava also for runs, swims, skiing, and it can do a lot more. Secondly I don't actu…

Do you live in Manhattan? 110k in Manhattan is a bit tight to be honest. Also 110k seems quite low for a Tech Director. In NY the average for a Tech Director salary is 160k-240k My…

I pay about 700$ per year in property taxes to my library. Thats much more than what I pay for movies including netflix per year.

Have you tried recent devices? Garmin used to have a bump on some forerunners, my wife had it, it was very uncomfortable. I personally have the Vivoactive 3, which is flat, I've be…

Garmin or Suunto provide much better quality than Fitbit, Fitbit is a cheap quality. Garmin, Apple and Suunto aren't. Just check what the pros are using :)

Would be only great if my kids stay in school 5 days a week. Otherwise it will be just another day I need to entertain my kids. Sure 3 day weekends for traveling would be great, bu…

I love Firefox's features, but I've tried it for a week and I just have a too big loss of performance. My 2017 Macbook pro with 8gb of RAM just doesn't cut it. The browser is somet…

The one time I got banned from a free service being considered abuse was 7TB of bandwidth in a month.

I save all my photos and videos I take, I don't feel like it's that much, but still a good 700gb. I personally love having it, and look at it at least a couple of times a year. I j…

I think wireless charging can be great for two reasons: - hiding it visually, Ikea has done it very well. A cable is ugly, air power is ugly. but if your night table has wireless c…

I have a watch with also an irregular heart beat detection (Garmin). It sometimes detects irregular heart rates when I play video games. Usually in a very intense scenario such as …

I don't think small phone demand is low. I think it's just harder to make a small phone very good and premium, and keep the price low. Concerning the Sony, I personally got the Son…

"Doctors tell me I should exercise more" Do you exercise enough? Running has helped me a lot with stress. I used to hate running at school, and now its something that helps me reli…

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mentioning Dave Ramsey. His podcasts, his youtube videos. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, he is a great resource. It's very easy to fall…

"Elementary school starting so early all the kids are half asleep in class" That's the only reason I don't put my daughter on the school bus. I can save her an extra 30 minutes of …

I have tried using Firefox several times this year, but on a Macbook with only 8gb of RAM the RAM usage was far too big compared to Chrome. It made the rest of my computer sluggish…

Airplanes or portable computers. Laptops aren't perfect, you need to take them everywhere, the screen is much smaller, and they are expensive. Imagine a world where you only need a…

I won't bother taking the survey, I only use a couple of services (EC2, RDS, SES, S3, Cloudfront) and I have no idea what the icons are for any of those services, even if I login o…

So you literally missed a wedding and probably lost some friends and you still think it was a good idea? I mean I don't spend too much time on Facebook (I hate procrastinating so I…

This downtime annoyed me at a critical time. Even though I think it's great they are transparent about it, I don't see myself using their DNS again.
