Facebook really has just become noise. Bad amateur punditry, links to articles from Mother Jones and Breitbart, “80 things that only 80s kids know about,” and anger. So much anger.

I wish more bosses understood the extent to which a person’s direct supervisor influences the quality of his work life.

My boss at my last job (I’m now blissfully self-employed) didn’t believe that burnout needed to be an eventuality. You could call her and say, “I’m taking a mental health day,” and she’d cover you with HR. I would walk into her office in the early afternoon on a Friday every couple of months and say, “I just got hit…

I’ve worked in a career path that is incredibly conducive to burnout (911/Emergency dispatch), and it’s a very real thing to many people for a variety of reasons.

You can’t trust these people to deliver an addressed piece of luggage to a pre-determined location with any regularity, and now you want them to give you DRUGS?

How about when you reach the gate, they club you over the head with a blackjack then they stack you like cordwood, bound and gagged, until you reach your destination. Then, for a small fee, they revive you with smelling salts.

Didn’t even realize how much I hated this until you mentioned it....and now I’m furious

let’s call it on purpose, here’s the synopsis:

Ahem, back in my day, we assembled our own GUI, uphill, both ways, in ten feet of snow, and we liked it:

I’m taking this advice, thanks.

I never used predictive text in English, but at least in Chinese (where suggestions are the default and a necessity) it was kind of a thing. Like if you typed gou the first suggestion was “狗”, which means dog, and the second suggestion is “🐶”.

I’m in the same situation - nothing will make it work with my ATT Iphone 6.

duuuumb

I’m actually a robot

I swear, every time I open a LifeHacker article and think “Oh shoot, this one is particularly excellent/unique/useful!”, it was written by you. I feel like a groupie at this point. Thanks for doin what you do so well! :)

That’s not going to be possible because audio apps are not among the types supported by the new SiriKit APIs. Maybe next year with iOS 11 :/

I used Siri to pay my Discover credit card bill earlier today. What a time to be alive.

I didn’t understand this when they first announced it, and I still don’t. Make hangouts better, not superfluous. Having this new messaging app that is phone only and tied to your phone but NOT MMS/SMS, and then having hangouts which is phone and desktop.... it’s ridiculous. Why can’t Google figure this out? Whatever…

http://www.gasbuddy.com/TripCostCalcul… has most of those features, and it calculates the stops with the lowest gas prices. It would be a cool thing to integrate with Google Maps.

This sounds cool, but it would probably be better to have Google maps able to get data from the OBD system somehow. Mileage varies too much in different driving conditions.
