What metrics do you guys (Americans) use to measure how 'great' the country is? From the start this has puzzled me.

Or rather is it a simple slogan one can confidently spew knowing it's impossible to prove?

(edit: I get that this is probably sarcasm, but it seems at least _SOME_ Americans believe it to be true)

Comparison is the thief of joy.

However it was intended by the developers is irrelevant to the average user using the product. To many many people this is a glaring bug.

I've heard the joke hundreds of times but I honestly think naming things is (one of) the most challenging parts of building anything software related.

That's like saving every webpage you've ever visited to your favourites because you MAY need it in the future. The internet is vast, learn to traverse the noise in search of what you're actually looking for. You don't need to know where everything is, just that it does indeed exist and then your detective skills can determine how to find it.

If you haven't needed them by now, you probably don't actually need them. Data hoarding is cool and all but at some point you're creating more clutter than is necessary.

So are you going to donate that $100 to charity?

Favourite feature: When you place your phone face down on any surface it is automatically set to DND (Do-not disturb) mode.

Are you referring to NYC in general? Because certainly it's possible to earn money (or at least increase equity) with investment properties.

Better yet, don't store any passwords in your browser - use a proper password manager.

Worrying for the sake of worrying proves only detrimental to the individual

I'm pretty sure they do. I remember seeing something about community mailboxes Amazon was offering for this exact reason to apartment buildings and such.

If you actually did go out of your way to protect your privacy, step 1 would be not to use Gmail.

He definitely was not under oath. If that was a requirement he would of never testified.

The cost for them is 0, the cost for MZ is incredibly high. I don't think he would have agreed if he was under oath.

This is the current case with SSN's in North America. A unique identifier being treated as a password cannot act as a password.

I agree.

When scrolling to the bottom of the article the last thing I expected was the entire content of said article to be replaced by headlines of other stories from TC.

Viewing the article in portrait mode on desktop displays the main contents on the left 50% and complete whitespace on the right 50%.

Overall the TC redesign is god-awful and has degraded usability substantially.

A little contradictory, I concur.

Does claiming someone is a member of ISIS automatically make you a right-wing conspiracy theorist or is it different under these circumstances?

How is the number 40% actually determined, surely it must be an assumption from scrolling through the feed for a little while? To my knowledge it's difficult (near impossible without 3rd party tools) to determine in real-time the number of tweets pertaining to a certain topic.

Recently, David Goggins on the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience).

I had no idea of this man's story prior to listening to the 2 hour podcast. It really sheds light on his incredible work ethic.

I can't provide sufficient due diligence but look up what exactly a 'Facebook tracking pixel' is.

Nearly every website utilizes one and it allows FB to track you around the web.

Absolutely not, it's a lose-lose situation.

When I was in the Nederlands last year they actually had public signage advertising a WhatsApp group chat (for emergencies and the like) for the surrounding community.

I was surprised by how popular it is.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I'm kind of shocked Netflix is going down this route, for some reason I never expected them to stoop this low.

All of those suggestions will increases cost and decrease profit, there's no law mandating any of those so why would they go above and beyond for 'safety' reasons?

I understand it's the ethical decision but at the end of the day for-profit companies are only interested in one thing: maximizing profits.

> employees are offered a 5 figure bonus if they live close to their work

Is this a unique bonus mainly offered in the Valley versus the rest of the world?

Don't pursue it for the credentials. Apply what you learn in the class to practical projects you're interested in. Build a GitHub profile of various repositories showcasing what you've learned and it will impress a future employer far more than credentials on paper ever will!

If I'm correct, I believe you only pay taxes when you realize the gain. So if you never sell you'll never owe taxes? Can someone confirm this?
