Booking.com let someone create an account with my email address, register a room in Russia, then charge 20k a night for it. I called them the minute I saw it happening, they said they would take care of it. I still have the booking and the amount owed on the account (which I password reset and took control of).

So something is wrong with their system.

Are you saying that because Google wont be invested in this and trying to figure out how to make money off it, that will be what kills it in the end? Seems right.

They aren't firing mods, they are telling the mods they can't come in the store anymore, they are free to look through the window.

Yes I do and yes it could happen. It could simply be someone accidentally taking off the lit hold on a Friday after a bad day. Then not realizing it till Monday. A bunch of data would be gone.

What would the point of it be if it wasn't. I think this person is confusing the difficulty in getting insurance if you live in a flood zone. That is how this would potentially work, no insurance because you are in a hail zone. Never heard of that before though, so this is probably covered and something the insurance will reassess to not cover in future work.

As someone who does this work, I agree. This sounds like a IT Operations messed something up on its way to the people who do the lawyer work. Never had it happen to us, but I could see me handing something off to others in the Operations Org and having accidents happen.

I mean, I would hope so, considering pronouns are part of reading/writing education.

Mods don't work for Reddit. They volunteer for Reddit moderation. Much like you can volunteer to be the leader of the DND club at a local hobby shop. They are not an employee. People who don't like what Reddit is doing should stop showing up. Mods who don't like it should stop moderating. It's as simple as that, if enough people agree, Reddit will be no more.

I will bet Reddit will be just fine.

"Specifically the side that makes everything political, argues that everything is and should be political, but then pretends that the political shit that comes out their keyboard is somehow not political until I point it out."

You might have gotten too much internet sun this week, throw some ointment on it and stay in the shade. You are the only person going political in this thread.

What meeting platform is not a mess then?

"Teams is adding a feature already available in every other meeting platform. Everyone panic!"

Are we ignoring his acquisition of Twitter and why he had to buy Twitter even though he didn't want it?

You can still just buy licensing not on subscription.

Nah, that isn't true. Most people are using Pro. Enterprise is a significantly greater cost and most smaller enterprises don't use it to save money.

I don't understand how that is artificial obsolescence. Micrsoft does not want to continue to pay for the programming talent to keep Win10 going. They have set a date to stop doing it. You are welcome to use those computers till they die, you can even use them with Win10. Your computers will just not be patched and secure.

Even more so, if you want them patched and secure, you can move to Linux. Nothing about Windows stops the hardware from working with another operating system.

Artificial obsolescence is when an Apple Device stops being patched and they put weird battery hacks in that confuse users into buying new devices.

I am 37 and have felt for these raised markers precisely zero times.

Why?

Not to mention, these other comments are for Disney. However, Disney is propping their business up with lots of other businesses. If you are going to make Amazon less competitive, you can't leave the giant business next to it in a better position. Disney will just buy it then.

This is exactly my experience as well. I got a lot of hard sales tactics that all sounded like "Pay us instead of your power company." I see no incentive to do that honestly, it just leaves a bunch of pain and complicated math for me to take care of and they eat up all the savings. From what I can tell, just like recycling, it is almost useless unless we all group together and do it at once. In this case, it is better for my power company to innovate that each individual take on the problem themselves.

I didn't go through all of the False Claims litigation, but the penalties were related to pricing, nothing to do with their science.

Can someone point me to one of the 90 incidents that is "Gave false study data."

I went through 10 of them and they are all "Advertising where they shouldn't be" or "incorrectly stating costs."

Comments in here are like a conservative sess pool and it is 3 comments in. It is like no one read any of the data. Who would have thought?

Pitiful is better than nothing.

It's 400 tenants scattered across all their servers. So they are most likely having to build out servers to pull the data then put it in place. 10x the problem that just restoring a single server would be.

I was down, my instance is fully restored right now.

1. They do, every 25 hours, via snapshot. I have spoked to their team since the incident and that same thing is in this article. 2. Yes, they recover all of it. Some things have had issues, external mailboxes attached to service management projects, some attachment rendering slowness. Filters needing to be overlayed into our instance again, but otherwise it is running fine again.

Not sure what to tell you other than they are fixing life saving companies first, then the rest. That is what they have told us.

No because a class structure only has rich and poor with less and less middle ground, stealing becomes necessity to some. Even if immoral.

Joe Rogan got paid by a company to distribute his content with the right to not distribute any portion they want.

If anything, Joe Rogan is giving up his free speech. No one is taking it.

Anyone can make a podcast and put it out. Zero stopping them other than maybe money to buy a device to record and send it.

"We will not ever eradicate Covid-19 with vaccination" is the most small minded statement possible to make. We have eradicated so many diseases with vaccination.

I think what you mean to say is "We cannot eradicate COVID-19 with the current vaccines," but to swear off vaccines as if they can't do the work is frankly, dumb.

I don't think your argument is the same thing.

Apple has to pay to keep your app hosted in the store. They have to pay to check your app for safety. They have to pay developers to maintain the store. Your fridge doesn't have that. Your fridge manufacturer made something to host your food. It costs them zero dollars to perform the hosting. In fact, you have to pay another company (the electric company) that hosting cost. If a fridge manufacturer decided to become the electrical company, then it would make more sense.

Apple has to pay costs to maintain the app store, the operating system for the app store, and the hosting costs in-between.

That's awful. I am almost murdered daily and I live in a city without self driving cars.

Except of course they are being sued right now......
