This was what led me to quit Facebook as well. I just got a real sketchy feeling sharing photos of my family knowing that other people would see them intermingled with all sorts of awful content.
Don't know how widespread it was, but for my wife who had bi-weekly Covid tests for work they also started testing the samples simultaneously for the flu.
Not just more ads, but longer ones as well. We used to use youtube to put nursery songs on in the living room for our kids. All of a sudden we notice it's 15 minutes into an ad for the state of Ohio. So many less…
100% agreed - it even seems to happen to me if the text is older or takes a little more time to process. I listened to an audio copy of Candide while commuting by car and when I reached the end I remember being struck…
Always interesting to find 'local-only' chain things. For what it's worth, I think the brats are at the Milwaukee and Green Bay Costcos as well.
The diet sodas are getting crushed along with the regular: http://fortune.com/2017/04/19/coca-cola-pepsi-dr-pepper-soda...
After 3 Fitbit Charge HRs dying on me within a year, I've left FitBit and moved on to Garmin. It's a shame because my Flex was solid for multiple years.
I think the biggest failure of RedBox is that people don't seem to realize you can complete the entire transaction online and reserve the movie. I can reserve a movie Friday morning, then drop by the grocery store…
If you are already familiar with .NET, you might find some courses on Microsoft Virtual Academy a good starting point. There is a web development category: https://mva.microsoft.com/training-topics/web-development#!i...…
I always say college was very practical learning as at different points in time I was able to kill a mouse with both algorithms (this very book) and computer architecture.
The one thing I appreciate from editorial boards are recommendations for the down ballot elections. I don't know who these people are and their goals are usually difficult to describe in a blurb. At least I can get a…
Same problem! I always hold some rupee notes so I have some cash on hand until I get to my hotel. My plan is to find a co-worker travelling there over the holidays and give them a good exchange rate to cash them in.
This blew me away when I first moved from Wisconsin to Illinois. I went from this: http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/online-srvcs/external/dmv.aspx to: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/ This isn't just a website problem…
I would agree that adding a new layer of complexity is to no one's advantage. A strangler application that becomes symbiotic with it's host can be a terrible thing. I think the key angle to always consider: how will…
Now if only there was a feature on ad blockers that blocked all the crummy youtube videos my daughter watches that are effectively 20 minute ads of people playing with toys.
Agree completely on voting for one person to act on my behalf. I absolutely loathed needing to mark yes or no for two pages worth of judges when I voted in Chicago. I always promoted a plan of voting no for every single…
Just remember - state matters heavily in that decision! If I had lived in a non-recourse state, I would have gladly performed a strategic default a couple of years ago and left the bank to pay the loss in value of my…
The hardest battles I've had are dealing with legacy code. The majority of teams want to improve the overall code base and correct past mistakes, but you can never fix everything right now. Deciding when to let the…
It would be interesting to see more information breaking down the increases there to compare to the causes at public universities. I saw an article the other day that stated that private colleges have also been…
I wonder if it's actually decreasing in popularity or StackOverflow is just becoming increasingly popular with other languages. Looking at the number of responses to that question, there are lots more people taking the…
I didn't realize it was such a wide-spread 1980s thing. I always just remembered the Procter & Gamble rumors since one of my parents worked for them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procter_%26_Gamble?section=17#...
