I discovered this a few months ago - it's worth spending the 60 seconds to update these settings to get rid of Uber's terrible promotion notifications!


I used an AeroPress for nearly a decade but recently switched to a Hario #2 dripper. It takes roughly the same amount of time as the AeroPress and the coffee is tastes a bit cleaner or brighter. I primarily switched to avoid the plastic in an AeroPress, but was also interested to try something different after using AeroPress for so long. I also have a subscription to Trade coffee for fresh beans that I highly recommend.


In 2013, I asked a question that I then answered myself. It turned out to be a fairly common question and my response now has more than 101k views.

It's remarkable as perhaps the lowest effort/highest benefit to others online action in my life.


It would be great if they finalize the loading="lazy"attribute. Safari is the last holdout amongst the big browsers for this (for images) and I look forward to removing lazy loading javascript from my website.


Ideally we would have more of both trees and whales as part of a comprehensive approach to climate change mitigation.


If you're flashing your lights as someone, why wouldn't you use the high beam? In particular, with daytime running lights on most cars, high beam flashing is the most practical tool for the job.

On my Model Y, it is a simple pull of the left steering wheel stalk to do that, the same on all other cars I've previously owned. On my prior car, flashing the non-bright lights would've required turning an awkwardly positioned dial that also controls fog lights and running lights. That is easier than the touchscreen method but still poor UX while driving.


flashing high/low/high/low means "your high beams are on" but you can take away their night vision.

flashing on/off/on/off means "turn on your headlights" or "speed trap ahead"


Flashing high/low/high/low from behind here in Austria at least means “you are annoying me but not in a way that immediately threatens my safety” (beeps are reserved for slow starters at lights or near-collisions). If going in the other direction it means cops ahead.


Yes. The new iMac 27" and iMacPro both use a 1080p webcam and also use the T2 chip for image processing. I recently upgraded from a 2015 iMac 27" to the 2020 iMac 27" and the webcam is better although still not great.


You seem to be insinuating that a PE exit via a sale to another fund is somehow inherently bad. Many PE investors would argue the opposite - IPOs have lockups and price volatility that increase both certainty of exit and time to exit. A sale to another PE firm or corporate entity generally deliver a large onetime cash payment.


I think he is questioning if a company or IP is valuable if it is only changing hands between funds. As opposed to, let's say, the public.


A dual track (where you run an auction to both private and public buyers and simultaneously file an S-1 to IPO) maximizes the value to the seller. This sort of disproves the premise.


I agree wholeheartedly and gave up on the article when I read that line. On my Mac, Safari is quick, resource efficient, and does everything I need it to do. I'm sure there are some downsides, but to dismiss it as a joke is ridiculous.
