Google234··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
It’s definitely worth clamming up in the fraction of the fraction of situations that the author describes (female founder + potentially very negative feedback) if it means avoiding a Ellen Pao type situation. On one side you have something that could destroy your reputation, work, and cost you and on the other is holding back advice that may or may not help someone a bit.

Also, are really downplaying what happened and ignoring the fact that it could have ended up much worse for KP.

Why should can’t we discuss not focus if the regulator is suspect? This seems like an overreach to me and other mobile phone sellers have much much worse practices that hurt consumer.

You don’t get it, 100s of billion of these notifications have been shown already to users on desktop with a less than 1% accept rate. These are spam .

Have those users download some simple app if this is so important to them. Or let them enter their phone number to get more reliable text notifications. Just because you have a good use doesn’t outweigh the all the bad abuse.

To be fair, that’s a very old phone and IOS12 is still getting updates in 2021. I’m not sure that the issue is, safari is updated along with IOS.

I don’t want websites to be able to send notifications to my phone. Sites abuses this and are always asking on my computer and it’s too easy to accidentally say accept.
Google234··on AstraZeneca: Germany, other European countries to resume use of vaccine
“8% effective in over 65s” from the German press, “quasi-ineffective in over 65s” from Macron, and “I’m not going to take it because I’m 67” from Merkel, all sound like there is some politics involved to be.

The Norwegian cases don’t make any sense statistically. If they were correct, we would have seen 100s of cases in the UK by now.

Google234··on AstraZeneca: Germany, other European countries to resume use of vaccine
Thanks for further damaging safety/credibility of the AstraZeneca vaccine to the public’s for no good reason. It’s obvious that this was completely political act. Wasn’t Macron spreading the rumor just a few weeks ago that the vaccine isn’t effective for those 65 and older?

That decisions is made all the time with drugs that have side effects. Setting the speed limits also is a balance between a deaths and convenience

Un, Myanmar could just deploy soldiers with machine guns or shoot rockets and achieve the same thing? How is that different?
Google234··on EMA Covid-19 data leak and mRNA vaccine instability
Very interesting info. It doesn’t seem too surprising that there might have been some consistency issue with manufacturing early on. Though it seems a little late to be trying to spread misinformation about the Pyzer vaccine. A manipulated leak like this could have done a lot of harm a few months ago though.
