FYI, that's what the little arrow next to their name is for.

I did that when I was using a MacBook at my old job and it helped but the problem was that it was too easy to accidentally push the buttons on the touchbar by mistake.

>Jokes aside, if you don't know who he is you probably don't need a smartphone.

Wow, how incredibly dismissive and insulting. There's estimated to be something like 2 billion smartphone users globally. Sorry that some of us aren't as cool/hip/in touch as you to know the name of one (admittedly important) person involved in their development.

Just because the thing that works for another person isn't the same as what you do doesn't mean that you need to be insulting towards them.

Interestingly, it seems that they did change it to go to the homepage.

The problem is, at least from my short meander over there, was that the categories of things is based on your usage of Facebook, Twitter, and/or Google+. Unfortunately I don't really use any of those things for sharing (only a Facebook account that I never post on) so this site isn't very useful for me.

>Gold has applications in MANY things.

Yes, but that's not what makes it so valuable. This was discussed elsewhere but copper, for example, has many more industrial uses than gold but because it's not this one special metal it isn't worth as much. Essentially, there are real applications for gold but those alone do not account for its high value.

Wow, oversimplify much? I happen to much more on the extrovert side of the spectrum and while, yes, people do sometimes talk about themselves at social gatherings many of us, myself included, also make an effort to hold an actual back-and-forth conversation. It's unfortunate that your experiences have been so negative but don't classify all people based on that.

Though let me just say that:

"this advice is sabotage, created by extroverts to make introverts easier to spot so the E's don't have to spend as much time trying to engage us and can just move on"

Sounds like "Toot, toot, all aboard the crazy train!" to me.

Fusion power is 20 years away and always will be.

Less snarkily, is there actually good reason to believe that we're any closer to usable fusion?

have a good idea

That's the part that keeps stopping me.
