haha that's awesome, there must be dozens of us! Totally agreed to this day nothing is better UI/efficiency. Photoshop has extra steps built in for some reason that slow you down.

different use cases, illustrator is better for heavy vector based stuff like logo design but for quick/fast hack jobs fireworks is best.

Not just flash, I'm a die-hard fireworks user and was still using it up until a few years ago, much better than PS for quick web stuff (99% of what I was doing). Was a sad day for consumers when Adobe bough them out, before they had to compete with improvements and new features for market share. I still use Adobe Fireworks regularly over Photoshop.

Everyone does this, including the reddit founders themselves in the early days of the site (https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/z4444w/how-reddit...).

Learned this lesson the hard way, enabled 2FA for a certain major service which in turn opened me up to an exploit that didn't effect those not using 2FA. So in enabling 2FA I weakened my acct security and opened a new attack vector. At best if everything is implemented properly you're still now only as secure as your telecoms customer service security practices.

seriously disgusted, done with this website and potentially industry, this shit pops up every thread and the other day the "anti-diversity" post was top voted. Done.

Don't know of anyway to avoid this other than using cash. The speed the sharing takes place is pretty insane as well, I've made purchases of a new brand of X item at my local grocery chain only to have amazon suggest the exact item to me on the same day.

probably also working on a premium service with a monthly charge to go along with the free tier

historically been very vocal about questionable decisions that provide far more value to the business than to the gamers.

Maybe true historically - but in recent years publishers have figured out a formula to subvert criticism (review embargos, sponsored reviews, reddit astroturfing). There's no action after the complaining, it's all bark, they still buy the game, little bit of heat on reddit/twitter but then you still set sales records. See The Division, No Man's Sky.

Schools, especially primary schools, are devoted to conformity, social acceptance, and political correctness

Bingo and well said! We condition our kids to accept everything they read in their textbooks as fact. Critical thinking is key and missing.

When I was in grade 3 on MLK day our teacher split our class into 'races' by eye color and gave blue eyes treats made the brown eyes do work, it's a known/controversial exercise meant to teach about discrimination, which it did, but also it made us question authority.

We should create exercises where teachers/staff purposely present incorrect or conflicting information to students, forcing them to regularly question the quality of the information and the motivations/agenda of the source.

there are a few orgs working on this using AI/Machine learning on the b2b side for news/journalism orgs, no offerings for general users yet but it's on the horizon for sure.

Activities that can’t be billed to other agencies are another drain. One example is staff time totaling 727 hours on a logo change. The old logo was a blue square with 18F in the lower-right-hand corner. The new logo, a black square with 18F centered and a different font, wasn’t worth the time and doesn’t look as good.

for anyone else curious:

Honestly I don't even know which way is up anymore with the yelp extortion fiasco, so much misinformation and yelps defense sounds credible vs some random angry small business owners. My cynicism says they're executing the ultimate public relations and smear campaign against anyone who dares speak up, panda888 being some low level drone in a messaging agency they hired whose radar picked up this thread /tinfoilhat

Hey I'll have to check out OrderUp haven't heard of that, grubhub has been good so far - I haven't had to contact their support for anything yet so can't speak to that but in general I've found many places have lower delivery fees. They also have their own drivers which is nice.

Ubereats actually comes in cheapest if you're ordering for just yourself, no need order extra food to hit a delivery minimum.

apparently there's a doc coming about this called "Billion Dollar Bully" from some small independent filmmakers which yelp is already trying to pre-emptively discredit: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/yelp-accused-mob-like-...

Agreed - I just recently stopped using Eat24, I was a whale for them as well (~4-5 orders a week), using ubereats + grubhub now.

yes agreed everyone should cater to you specifically in life.

How funny would it be if it turns out this was written by someone high up/heavily invested in eTH/DAO to push users to support the fork (which didn't seem anywhere near majority yesterday)
