Do they mean free like legacy workspace accounts were free until all of the sudden they weren’t?

We won’t ever use a google product at my work because they burned me personally on that. Hope they like stepping over those dollars to pick up those pennies.

Obviously if Google no longer needs to “not be evil” Meta would be required to do “irresponsible innovation” just to stay competitive. So the team has to go.

You might but nobody else will. Another day another breach. Nobody cares about the firings and they surely won’t care about the breach.

I would even guess that for a large breach like the one T mobile had, most of their customers don’t know about it. And if they do the thing they care most about is trying to get their cash payment because “free money.”

I’m not saying that’s how it should be but that’s how it is. Companies make decisions every day that are bad for their customers and everyday unless the customers are majorly inconvenienced they simply don’t care. Or maybe I’m in a bad mood today and casting everything in a negative light. Or both.

Important people get fired all the time and no meaningful percentage of Patreon users are going to care. If you stopped using a product every time someone important got fired you could probably use nothing, live nowhere, and would just sit in the dirt until you were dead. The only difference with this is the publicity and people trying to get it to gain traction. I don’t expect it to though and the world will continue to turn.

I don’t think it’s self entitled to expect the software you paid for to keep its original functionality. They kept using dark patterns to enforce the switch to subscriptions.

The problem with this is that, just like visual programming, it doesn’t really do the hard parts.

I remember hearing “a million monkeys with a million type writers writing for a million years could write Shakespeare”. Sure, but how would they know it? How could they recognize when they have achieved their goal?

ML will lower the bar for the trivial tedious things and let people believe they are more capable than they are. Even with ML you will have to know what to ask and what the answer should be. That is always the hard part.

It’s just that kids, despite their best efforts, are really stupid. Think about how much effort is put into teaching them to look both ways before crossing the street and that is an easy concept to understand.

If the goal of public schools is now to create non-racists at the cost of academics then I would rather homeschool. I can teach my kids to not be [race/sex/able]ists, and I do, because I treat people with respect.

The schools should have a moral obligation to teach everyone academics first and say everyone deserves to be treated with respect. There doesn’t need to be a big agenda about racism/sexism/ableism. Trump? Treat with respect. Hilary? Treat with respect. Homeless? Treat with respect. Former criminals? Treat with respect. Anybody who’s different than you? Treat with respect. Now let’s get back to math.

I don’t want to hear any individual teachers opinion on anything other than academics. If they want to give their opinion it should be leveled and end with treating all people with respect. If they did this maybe less people would homeschool and go to private school and then schools could continue to have their much needed funding.

The problem with code vs no-code is that the only barrier it removes is the code. The “code” is the easy part.

Coding is like writing a story in a way and imagining the story is what’s hard. Whether it’s written in code, pictures, graphs, or grunts is irrelevant. No-code will not make a good story teller. Sure you will lower the barrier for those with little imagination telling small tales, but it will not help in the epic adventures.

From rogue employees or management?

Finally a post I can agree with.

He didn’t waive the right to troll them, and that’s what he’s doing. As I said this wasn’t to get out of the deal but to troll them in the court of public opinion.

Ohhhhhhh, I see. You are talking about distance learning and I thought you were talking about home schooling. So no need to debate as I agree distance learning is garbage for most kids and most teachers.

I would argue learning from home wouldn’t be “just as good” but would often times actually be better. Especially in todays climate where academics are taking a back seat to other priorities. I find it strange you chose that as the topic, care to elaborate why you think that?

1) It is dumb they can’t provide data for him to calculate a comparable figure.

2) Then they should provide data he can use to verify their figure. It is dumb they won’t provide it and are providing noise instead.

3) He’s not trying to get out of the deal, he’s calling them out on their figure. It’s dumb they aren’t giving him the data he can use to verify their figure and he wants to expose them prior to the deal to show how effective he will be when(if) he “cleans” it up.

I find most of these are for older kids maybe, Outer Wilds and Witness may be too much for younger kids. One game my kids became entranced watching me play is The Last Guardian.

Well when you focus on activism and not academics, why would anyone be surprised that the academics suffer?

Easy fix though, lower standards! Lots of districts are already figuring that out. If you take away the primary means to hold the educational system accountable then you have teachers who are unaccountable. All of the sudden all of them are good at their jobs and the teacher mafia… I mean union… can continue to demand more money for the children and won’t even have to deliver anything measurable. It’s genius!

Why do you think it would be trivial to just increase production by 10%?

I wonder if this article would be the same if the author wasn’t making google money for 10 years. Having all that money let’s you quit to a 40 person startup and be guilt free.

I think it’s just different things for minor irritations. For me it’s the never being ready on time.

When I say I’m ready to leave, that means I could be in the car in 30 seconds. When my wife says she is ready to leave, that means she’s ready to start getting ready to leave. I’ve learned just to pad 20 minutes into departure times.

This is of course anecdotal, but I find many people (of all genders) like to complain when people don’t do it the way they want, and when they can’t micro manage, they get upset. If you just want it done then delegate. If you want it done YOUR way then YOU have to do it.

For example my wife always makes it sound like finding shoes for the kids is the same as planning a trip to the moon. If I say I’m going to get them shoes she says I can’t be trusted. I don’t care, the kids don’t care, but boy does it stress her out every time their feet grow.

Poor server…

Well they can’t replace themselves.

What they can do is replace everyone below them, give themselves a big pat on the back, and continue to look out for number one.

Rich white folks don’t care about poor white folks. Never have. They care about keeping theirs pockets lined. If they can convince all the poor white people they are racist they can continue to keep them at the bottom and continue to line their pockets all in the name of equality. To summarize Tupac. “You white kids don’t need to be successful because you have Mark Zuck.”

TLDR: I think it has always been about class and equity is just the latest rich person hustle.

1Password is like everyone else who sells out. I bought their stuff before they had subscriptions, and now that they have subscriptions, they are crippling the product so that you have to pay up or ship out. When the time comes I’m going to Bitwarden.

There are only two real gaming benchmarks and they are both real bad for the M1. In Tomb Raider it fairs even worse at 4K than it does in borderlands.

It’s a great chip but it doesn’t trade blows with anything Nvidia puts out especially at comparable price points.

Maybe you buy things to run benchmarks. I buy them to run the software I own. For games they come up short on fps and high on price. That is the inverse of what I’m looking for.

What on earth are you talking about. That link shows it’s not even half as fast as the 3060, let alone the 3080.

In borderlands it got 24 FPS while the 3080 got 52 FPS. How is that on par?

Yes, better games. Nintendo first party titles from their Zelda, Mario and Mario Kart franchises are consistently among the best games for their time period with some of the biggest appeal across the gamer spectrums. If I could choose only one system it would be the switch easily. If only it had Valheim on it I would never put it down.

Downvotes are more appropriate than 7 years of prison.

That’s because the last thing anyone wants is a loud noise complaint to escalate into a shooting.

No, but they are saying that bitcoin losing 50% from its high is saying something about it. But Etsy dropped the same amount in the same time period. Which is causation and which is correlation?
