Getting past the Slack-hate... Slack's ubiquity once it's in place at a company eventually makes it the de-facto communications tool. People start using it for everything. Private conversations occur in direct message channels all the time.
"I'm interviewing at competitor X on Thursday."
"Director Y is incompetent."
"Staffer Z is kinda hot."
Besides the fact that people using Slack should always assume that someone's watching, or at least able to be watching, how does Slack's analytics treat one-on-one conversations?
Check out the rampant nuttiness of Google local guide reviews, with utterly obvious fakes like this: https://www.google.com/maps/co...
They review every business, point of interest, and yes, road sign, with made-up reviews. It's awesome, and depressing, and Google doesn't do anything about it.
I rented a car with automatic braking, and the false positives are terrifying. I routinely triggered the autobraking when backing out of driveways onto the road, where there's a change in gradient. The ABS kicks in, and it sounds like your car has bottomed out and is grinding against the ground.
It's particularly annoying because you can see on the reverse camera that there's nothing behind you, so you start doubting yourself, the camera, and the car. It's kind of like a random punishment system. You don't know what's going to cause the next zap, so there's no clear corrective path of action to take to correct this.
Or maybe it was Eithernet.
Name your price. It's just gathering dust.
Truly groundbreaking. Anyone interested in buying my Pebble Kickstarter edition? It has several days of battery life, basic but somewhat useful smartwatch functions, and, oh yeah, it's been abandoned by its new IP owner, Fitbit.
Nice try.
As of the current macOS beta, you will get the following message is Time Machine tries to backup to an AFPS drive:
"Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup. The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required."
You can use Time Machine restore TO an AFPS drive, but you can not back up to an AFPS drive until Apple provides a fix.
Agreed. Also worrisome is that Time Machine won't back up to drives that have been upgraded to APFS.
What's a drone? I build all kinds flying things. I build drones. I build planes.
I have built a plane that can hover. Is that a drone?

In this respect, techies are like anybody else. Some are out to help save the world, or at least make it a better place, and some aren't. It's not the tech that makes the savior, it's the person.
The same can be said about:
- finance folks (microcredit vs subprime mortgages)
- engineers (postwar reconstruction vs weapons)
- architects (affordable housing designs vs Trump towers)
- builders (habitat for humanity vs suburban subdivisions)
to name a few examples.
Good luck with that. The precision of Lego's molding process is beyond what can be done at home.

The moulds are permitted a tolerance of up to two micrometres...
To put that two micrometers tolerance into perspective:
- 1–10 m — diameter of a typical bacterium.
- 3–4 m — size of a typical yeast cell.
