noitsnot··on Parts of America may already be facing recession
Analysts and media keep referencing those years comparing it to where we are now. They are more than a recession, they are a catastrophe.
noitsnot··on Don’t Cheat on Interviews. It’s Obvious When You Do
I think you are correct in the issue here is the author is bad at interviewing and taking feedback. At the point where the interviewee didn't know the algorithm, he should have then moved on to another question and or ended the interview shortly after if that one answer was somehow the deal-breaker. The interviewer asked a question and the interviewee said he was not familiar. Interviewer proceeded to attempt to push him further.

noitsnot··on TV networks vowed to cut back on commercials but stuffed in more
"The company blamed it in part on some of the usual factors. Subscribers failed to reup after their promotional discounts expired; competition took its toll. DirecTV Now increased pricing, which undoubtedly led to some customers leaving."

The last article talks about a study including the type of people OP mentioned. They don't mind cable and commercials but end up being cord cutters anyway because of loss of control over the channels included.

noitsnot··on TV networks vowed to cut back on commercials but stuffed in more
Take a look at AT&T subscriber losses last quarter if you think people have decided one way or the other and are done cutting the cord. The two points are a pretty odd choice and I would say increasing cost is at the top of the list.
noitsnot··on Apple Reports Declining Profits and Slowing Growth Again
2012 Macbook Pro here. Works like I just bought it. 5G is apparently the reason next year for your phone upgrade. I'm not sure how anyone will notice the difference, not to mention plans being throttled to death to begin with.
noitsnot··on You Say What You Eat
I can assure you that developers are not the archenemy of implementing good color schemes...most of the time. The Creative Director and six Editors listed on the About page probably have more say in why they can't read their own work on certain monitors.
noitsnot··on You Say What You Eat
Why? I can read the grey for the most part, which doesn't seem too hostile.
noitsnot··on Coinbase Incident Post Mortem: June 25–26, 2019
Completely shut it down. It's funny they DDoS'd themselves.
noitsnot··on People make incorrect assumptions about their opposing political party
It's interesting you cited the fictional cage situation. You should do some research about the photos and cages.
noitsnot··on A "cure" for baldness could be around the corner
I'm not sure how it's a strange phenomenon. There are 1,300+ lawsuits for permanent sexual dysfunction. More recent studies show increased problems the first year and the drug masking prostate cancer development. Drugs have risks, right? You can't blanket it as 100% safe because of a gay bar anecdote and ten acquaintances.
noitsnot··on Netflix CEO may have missed the real reason why US subscriber numbers plunged
Nielsen claimed to be able to track Netflix efficiently two years ago.
noitsnot··on Bobby Bonilla's 25-Year Contract with The New York Mets (2011)
Around 1% a month was the usual return.
noitsnot··on The AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 3700X and 3900X Raising the Bar
Does anyone have any insight on whether AMD being included in the 2-3 major gaming consoles being produced in 2019 will help to sustain marketshare? I believe Microsoft, Sony, and Google have all announced their next gen. consoles / cloud platforms will use AMD.
noitsnot··on Assholes: A Probing Examination
The signs listed of an asshole are pretty easy to spot but try sniffing out the 'hidden', highly-skilled two-faced exec. asshole. They are readily promoted and treat execs. one way and low-level employees another.
noitsnot··on Donald Trump Lifts Huawei Ban
I'll take a wild guess and say this is probably a proclamation or executive order, which is written up by staff and signed by the President.
noitsnot··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
Alpha Romeo is an Italian luxury brand in the U.S. Ford in the same sentence is shocking.
noitsnot··on Mazda is purging touchscreens from its vehicles
My Rolls doesn't have a touch screen, which is nice because it helps from distracting my driver during trips to the yacht club or the occasional polo match.
noitsnot··on Facebook’s New Cryptocurrency Gets Big Backers
Regardless, the company attempts to move forward with technology, acquisitions, and revenue. Facebook payments, gift cards in stores, stickers, etc. I don't think Insta is anywhere near full ad or revenue optimization.
noitsnot··on WeChat is Watching: Living in China with the app that knows everything about me
I might do that if companies started putting pills in the break room instead of Keurig. I consider coffee and cream a benefit like health care at this point.
noitsnot··on Twitter accounts are being hijacked for spam
You're right. I verified what my profile displays, so I can correct my signup date as 2008. 10+ years isn't too shabby, though.
noitsnot··on Bose headphones spy on listeners: lawsuit (2017)
Your $35'rs aren't a good comparison when they don't provide noise cancelation.
noitsnot··on Twitter accounts are being hijacked for spam
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't have time to find and filter out decent followers. I signed up back in 2005 and couldn't tell you when it wasn't a cesspool for awful posts and comments.
noitsnot··on ProtonMail now offers elliptic curve cryptography
I have been using it for more than a year on Android as my primary email in an attempt to leave Gmail. I can recommend. The only issue is when an new email comes in it will group them together and show previously deleted emails in the group.
noitsnot··on Why Do People with Depression Like Listening to Sad Music?
Lennon denied it on the Dick Cavett show in '71, years after it was released and would have been near radio. Maybe there was another reason to deny but I don't think radio is it.
noitsnot··on Why Do People with Depression Like Listening to Sad Music?
Lucy in the Sky isn't about drug use.
noitsnot··on Search all Craigslist cities for a remote job
Wow, I stopped it at 400 requests. I'm not sure how the site hasn't been shut down at this point.
noitsnot··on The Secret Rules For Getting Hired
Confidence is key and they need to be selling themselves as much or more than you. You don't really need the job. If there is a way to swing disinterested interviewers is another story.
noitsnot··on Ask HN: Which great products didn't succeed?
WPF hasn't succeeded? What am I missing?
noitsnot··on I tried creating a web browser, and Google blocked me
I didn't know it existed and it wasn't for lack of trying. I landed in the forum a few times which didn't help. Bing or Google a simple query where you would expect the official Kodi website or Wiki to show in the results. For example: "How to stream Netflix on Kodi".
