It's tough because sometimes these things can feel like a "tax", i.e. the general public does not need this item so they don't purchase it, but I now have to since there are no longer any alternatives. Seems like…
Shipping these back and forth seems to add much more waste (and cost) to the equation. I'd rather see grocery stores expand their "bulk sections" (where you self-serve just the amount you need and pay per weight) more.…
In addition to that, AirBnB takes a lot of the headache out for hosts in regards to local laws. In San Francisco for example, AirBnB collects and remits the local hotel tax on behalf of hosts, making that a non-issue…
Without lines/borders, where does one nation end and another begin? If you are suggesting no nations, what laws are you subject to and what protections do you have?
"Imaginary" doesn't mean useless or meaningless. Let's take a look at this at a smaller scale: property lines. Assuming one has a front yard within their property lines, that line too is "imaginary" in that it may not…
Some readers are asking what's the point since germs are everywhere? I was actually quite interested in this. As a practitioner of BJJ, a common rule among schools/dojos is to not allow you to train with dirty gis, and…
Would you say this course would help learn languages? I'm currently self-studying Japanese, so adding another "class" would be difficult time-wise. But if this Coursera course would help, it might be worth the time for…
Devil's advocate: are you really paying them for a service? I guess it depends on if you pay your bill in full each month, but for those that do pay in full, credit cards provide so many "free" benefits (travel perks,…
Not much different from cartoons/channels targeted at children on television IMO.
Or just ask the person filling it up to do it for you.
There's nothing stopping one from going to a special theatre for that one film shot in 70mm. But most movies are not that.
From my understanding a delivery person cannot get into your house at any time--you are not giving them any code to your door. They are scanning a barcode on your package via the camera, and that will be their "key". No…
Anecdotally, both my parents (almost 70) have an insane amount of tabs open because they simply don't understand how tabs work. Every time they want to go somewhere else they open a new tab instead of using the current…
He owns several restaurants that have been awarded Michelin stars.
Getting audio of the Chinese Translator over Tim, but no video. "Watching" via Apple TV...
Woah, my doppelganger! I work in user acquisition, specifically in SEM (AdWords/Bing). Same reasons here: cursory knowledge of programming I self-taught when trying to automate tasks, but nothing formal. Trying to learn…
I always wonder if with these things there is an aspect of confirmation bias, e.g. "that person didn't take the cup so they don't seem like they'll be a good cultural fit, but their skills are too good to pass up so…
Agreed! Unfortunately these things are giving way to LCD's and the flat buttons, and not just in appliances. Cars are especially guilty of this (switching from knobs and buttons to touchscreens) which require visual…
I'm not a huge fan of FB either, but IMO, actually looking at it that way is kind of exciting. Imagine Oculus VR + Project Tango = "experience" physical places you otherwise might not. Or if it could be used to shop…
To your second question, it has a setting to be disabled while you do color-sensitive work.
