The Apple TV remote control has to be up there, because clearly it was designed for use in a lab rather than a darkened room.

The ideological ones are really horrible.

The U.S. regulatory and legal system is badly in need of some kind of garbage collection mechanism.

Perhaps governments shouldn't try so vigorously to make it expensive and legally risky to hire people?

Improved connectivity to mobile due to avoiding triangular routing.

It's sad that Google Cloud Platform is behind on this.

Occasionally Firefox has had terrible performance problems on macOS.

Bad news for the low skilled. Good news for highly paid engineers.

totally agree. The home button has also become an object of mystery. It seems to have several functions too many, and it's always doing one I don't want.

The 7 is really extremely boring, and the haptic button feels terrible.

Some of this actually makes sense, but it should be legal to hold and use your phone while stopped at a red light.

If you replaced "unfortunate" with "fortunate", then I would agree with your statement.

Chrome looks really ugly, like it was designed by a programmer.

There is no chance whatsoever that I'm going to give Uber access to my location while not using the app, so this just makes it harder to me to be a customer.

A spectacular self-beclowning.

“I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can,” wrote Matt Maloney, who co-founded the company. “If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here."

It's easy to agree with that statement regardless of what you personally believe. The statement simply describes what the CEO believes. For example, I agree that Matt Maloney rejects those policies.

Horrible name - the Federal Government of the United States is not "the People".

systemd-nspawn containers are fun also. You can use them to run Ubuntu 16.10 processes on Ubuntu 16.04, among many other things.

Doesn't systemd do that already (via machinectl, e.g.)?

Try systemd containers (e.g, systemd-nspawn) if you're on a systemd distro like Ubuntu 16.04.

If you believe that Clinton has a greater propensity to start or inflame wars, and that wars are a greater evil than racism or sexism, then it may well be unethical to support her. It may even be an ethical duty to support Trump.

How would you use this to parallelize Rails requests? I guess you would need a pool of guilds, each with its own set of controllers, etc.

Since the requests would not be in the "main" guild, it might be painful to call into gems.

What if you care more about unsafe pointer access than speed?

That's the kind of absurd oversensitivity that opponents of trigger warnings are against.

Send more than one packet?

What if you don't care about speed, but you do care about not embedding strange scripting languages from the mid-1990s that can write files and make network requests?

Given that seismic upgrades have been underway for decades, I'm not sure what you mean by "minimally prepared."

It might actually be a bad idea to build that wall since Americans will be desperate to get to Mexico for that UBI and 15 hour work week.

An outside force converting everything to computronium at our early level of development wouldn't be good game design.
