I'd argue that hacking LastPass is a step closer to the unencrypted data than hacking Dropbox. With LastPass, they're actually on the servers who control the process - it's done locally, yes, but the servers are trusted and they could push out updates to the browser extension or other such activities to gain access to…

Having to stop your keyboard from autocorrecting real words is a Thing That Shouldn't Happen.

Obviously, money and benefits are the primary reasons to stick with a job. If those are the only reasons, though, you should be madly searching for another job in your free time, but most people don't have the luxury of walking away from their job without something else waiting.

Also... ask. Cajole. Flatter. Whatever. You don't have to be completely shameless about it, but I can't tell you the number of deals I've scored by just talking to people.

I use stars as items that I want to be able to easily call up again in the future - reference items (e.g. one has my wifi network password in it, or when I'm traveling I'll star my itinerary and travel-related emails, to be unstarred when I'm done with the trip). One advantage of this is that I sync all starred emails…

If $15,000 can earn 4-8% in an investment portfolio, but the loan only costs you 2%, your money is out-earning what it's costing you in interest.

You misspelled "bidness"

Yep, if you can get a low interest rate (especially 0-2%), anyone who is financially responsible would be better off investing their money for the duration of the loan since you'll get better earnings than that in the market.

Here's the thing, though... all that guy did was increase the number of times he went out on a date. The fact that it took him the better part of 100 "first dates" is indicative of how little what he did actually refined the process.

Yep, around there. I think smartphones are at 80% while tablets are around 70%, but there are a lot more smartphones sold than tablets so...

It's special to the Kindle. No other Android tablet can use the app.

I'd likely pay the additional cost if they had a freakin' Android streaming app. They're going to increase everyone's membership by 25% but they can't support the OS the comprises 80% of the mobile market?

I'm not saying you need to be rude - I am a very polite person.

So, in short: be direct, firm, and unequivocal.

Objective statement: worth it, or generalized B.S.?

Yeah... I was a pretty good kid but I ended up with much the same understanding that you did. I didn't lie a lot, but if I did, the only way I was going to acknowledge it was if presented with irrefutable, absolute evidence.

Probably pretty accurate. The people in the middle are generally starting to become aware that they know more than many, but without that really solid mastery of the material.

It's funny, I feel like there'd be a U-shaped graph if you were to plot "amount of knowledge someone has" against "acceptability of saying 'I don't know.'"

I agree that Windows has a lot to gain from this. Application discovery is a huge problem for the decentralized internet model, especially for the average user who might not be clear on sites that do quality app reviews (e.g. Lifehacker) as opposed to click-bait sites (e.g. "CLICK HERE FOR OUR TOP 10 APP LISTS" ...and…

I'm far more comfortable renting my software from Apple or Microsoft or Google than I am from Adobe, for example. At least with the former, they have an entire dedicated infrastructure for managing and distributing the apps, so it's far more likely that they will be available in the long term.
