Accuracy and precision is vital in communication. I agree that the speaker does have a responsibility to know his audience and shouldn't use fancy words to project intellect, education, or status. However, if there is an opportunity to be more exact, one should take it without remorse.

These are not developer docs first. There are plenty of wonderful other resources that serve as CSS dev docs as a primary resource.

I live in an old house with roommates that aren't on the same work / life schedule. They're considerate but moving around on old floors with thin walls makes noise. Keeping a box fan on when I go to sleep and leaving it on all night means that I can tune out the noise of them being normal humans before I fall asleep and when they wake up earlier than me.

Are there any solutions that can account for noise on a varied schedule?

No one should be helping creating life if they are not open to at least basic contact with the human beings they have created.

The system is anonymous exactly because people like the one you're replying to are willing to help provide the biological material and nothing more. Requiring communication with a person that, beyond DNA, is a complete wildcard seems like a steep barrier to donation that would significantly decline overall donations.

Facum Ipsum sounds like an entertaining side-project. Coupling one of these images with a random profile generator for each employee and outputting to JSON. One button press would populate your app with relevant data.

Often, it isn't even just the "desktop" application itself but the associated workflow plugins that have to run on the iOS as well. For a lot of modern electronic music producers, tools like Serum are a must.

Once they got very far away from the house, the car should shut off. Or so I would think.

In the event that the actual owner of the car left their fob at their previous stop and discovers this fact 40 miles down the highway later, if the car were to stop, the driver is now stranded with a car that won't start. As it is now, as long as there is enough gas in the tank, the owner can just drive back and get it.

Yes it does, Obama directly addresses the topic in this interview: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/president-barack-obama-and-mrs...

King asked, "Is the water pressure good? Is there Wi-Fi? Does the toilet run in the Lincoln bedroom."

"You know that whole tech thing, we've been trying to get that straight for the next group of folks," President Obama replied. "This is an old building so there's a lot of dead spots where the WiFi doesn't work...no, actually it's an issue."

Since this is mostly a place where those in the software industry spend time, your story is generally going to veer off the path most people here took in their career.

Can I ask for more detail about why it was that software was not the proper path for you?

I'm really glad you took the time to highlight this speech as worth my time. It's short enough to be a "quick" read and deep enough that I'll be chewing on the message for some time.

I like the idea of a system that would allow only 2 coins - .5 and .1 - to function properly. However it could potentially mean removing the quarter from circulation completely, unless the holder is willing to sacrifice 20% of its value or has two of them.

Are there a substantial number of macOS users using touchscreens?

EDIT: I don't know how I forgot about pinch to zoom via the trackpad. While my original question did start me down an interesting rabbit hole of touchscreen MacOS, I 100% agree that a lack of smooth pinch to zoom via the trackpad detracts from the overall user experience.

What benefit does a16z give you?

Beyond the legitimacy of being backed by a well-known venture capital firm, the most obvious is from the article:

"We provide operational support to entrepreneurs. Our crypto investments have access to the same 80+ person a16z operating teams as do our non-crypto investments. Our operating teams have deep expertise in executive and technical recruiting, regulatory affairs, communications and marketing, and general startup management. We are responsible participants in the governance of companies and the governance of networks."

My anecdotal experience is people using an Android device like an Amazon Fire TV Stick that has these sorts of apps sideloaded to watch movies and TV shows. They are sold around $100 with all the necessary setup already completed, allowing people without the ability to connect to an Android device via adb to stream whatever they want.
