Most of the time both options are presented clearly and within a few pixels from each other, but opt-in is usually slightly more eye catching and/or more appealing. But the effort in terms of distance for mouse movement or number of clicks is the same. While that’s a design trick that will improve % of opt-in, how can it be argued that the opt-out was not as “easy”?
The mass centralization is a massive attack vector for organized attempts to disrupt business in the west.
But we’re not doing anything about it because we’ve made a mountain at of a molehill. Was it that hard to manage everything locally?
I get that there’s plenty of security implications going that route, but it would be much harder to bring down t large portions of online business with a single attack.
This is my third time having to come back to hacker news to search for it.
Yes I could bookmark, or be more deliberate about committing it to memory, instead I’d rather write this so you know what happens when you don’t see return visits going up.
2 XPS-13’s in the past few years. 1 with camera’s positioned at the bottom of the screen, which was the absolute worst design ever, unless you enjoyed showing off your nose hairs.
1 with the screen flicker and an issue with an internal fan that failed to start consistently which resulted an a blaring alarm. It would go off in the middle of the night.
The last one was replaced by a Dell XPS-15 (by my employer) which has worked fine.
I also own a personal XPS-15 that was my first Dell purchase ~3-4 years ago. It’s never had an issue and I do some heavy compute and web scraping.
I have a refurbished Dell Precision T-5600 with 128GB of RAM and 16 core processor 4TB SSD + 2TB SSD. It’s a beast, I’ve had it for 3 years. Run it daily for large scrape jobs, store and process a lot of data. It has never let me down.
Try using “/find” function in the global search.
We use it for 100% of our conference calls, sales calls, 1:1 working sessions, all-hands (hundreds of attendees), virtual trainings, new-hire onboarding, etc…
I’d say it’s the most useful software we use in my company outside of email.
Admittedly, I’m yet to experience the pure bliss that comes from collaborating on an NFT project with fellow Slack team members from my Mac Book Pro while riding in my auto-pilot enabled Tesla.
Until then, I’m pretty content with what I’ve been able to do with Microsoft Teams over the years.
Choose freedom. Embrace the green SMS bubble.
I like the concept. How will you monetize?
It would be awesome to see deals from Hotel Tonight inline with the flights.
There would be no reason to ever stop bidding. To avoid losing your money, all you have to do is make another bid. Your opponent will probably realize that if he doesn't out bid you again, he's going to lose a lot of money. So he out bids you. Which really pisses you off, until you realize that you can avoid losing your money again if you just make another bid. The game goes back and forth until one of you dies of an overdose. Then the game ends by default, but the winner will have a tough time collecting his money from his dead opponent.
I read nothing about a gun being held to this poor old man who was obviously crippled by his lack of a back bone.
Why was this man talking to the salesman about a piano in the first place? He must have wondered into a piano store, thinking it was a travel agency in hopes of booking his summer vacation. But right at the moment he realized he had stumbled into the wrong store, the salesman caught him with his tractor beam and would not let this poor man leave.
I agree with most comments, there is something wrong with society, but I'm not so quick to judge the salesmen. Why not blame the guy shopping for a piano when what he really wanted was a vacation?
