It can be tricky if they don't have the rights to release source code or binaries for their hardware components, unfortunately.

One of those phrases is told to groups of people that regularly worships guns in public. The other is not. Context counts for a lot.

Certain groups are successfully prosecuted at a greater rate but that doesn't mean they cause more violence.

IMO the dark pattern here is that they ask for money and also show ads. I assume they still show ads to subscribers given their magazine roots (they don't list "no ads" as a benefit). I'm willing to pay for services but not if they still attempt to show me ads.

You might be able to work around this deliberate bug created by Google engineers by enabling zoom in your browser's accessibility settings. At least that's how I did it on Chrome back in the day.

The closer comparison would be a customer wanting a power strip that they can plug multiple phone chargers in to, I think.

Sometimes I wonder if Google engineers wrote this stuff to get users to test different routes.

I wonder if Google engineers still use Google products.

The customer is used to being able to plug all of their stuff into a lot standard wall outlet and their headphones in any standard 3.5mm jack so it's not at all surprising that they don't automatically provide all the specs. And frankly customers shouldn't have to care. USB engineers and PMs completely botched the design of USB-C.

Other than Jita I agree. Don't try to move too much money through Jita or bot accounts will pod ya with no (effective) repercussions.

Or if not pod you at least destroy your ship and steal all your stuff.

Assuming the code works but is not ideal I'd just call it not ideal or inefficient or something similar.

What alternative do you propose? Suicide booths?

> and as soon as I ask about something seemingly basic

Do you have an example?

How do you buy less than one piece of fruit? Isn't that what you're arguing against?

What about Demolition Man are you referring to?

I waste time on the internet because I don't have enough contiguous blocks of time to do anything productive or interesting outside of work (which is boring and repetitive and not automatable). I'm hoping to retire early so I can spend time on better things.

Sarcasm is usually very easy to spot if you assume the best in people. If you let cynicism take over then things said can be interpreted in the worst possible light.

What sort of specific case evidence could the tweeter provide that would satisfy you? Video with eye tracking?

I can assure you that it's easy to tell when this happens, even with my manly eyes. And yes, of course it happens to everyone, but it happens more to women than to men.

I'm serious, ask your friends and family and coworkers. It'll be eye opening for you.

If you want my anecdote, I've seen it a lot. I'd suggest asking your managers, directors, CEOs if they've experienced it themselves -- I bet they have and that it happens all the time.

Dismissing this as mere signaling (as others here have) is ironically almost as bad.

That's very kind of you to say.

I've been at it for a bit over 20 years and I haven't figured out how to get good at it. I do OK, though, because I learned it's often more important to ship than perfect[0], and rewriting isn't so bad because the second time is usually better than the first.

0: I choose not to work anywhere that sells critical infrastructure, medicine, or anything else where imperfections could jeopardize someone's life.

Sure, I agree, politely explaining what went wrong is good. Just saying "I told you so" (or similar) is different, though, and doesn't provide any actionable information. But I get the motivation to say it, so I suggest just saying it internally to let off some steam.

And IME 50% of that is dealing with generic error messages, or worse completely silent errors.

But even then only in your head or while talking to yourself in the shower, of course.

Unless I missed it in that RFC document blockchain adds a shared ledger, as thebeastie mentioned. Aka an unalterable shared record of what changed, when, and by whom.

Ideally they'd encrypt the customer content with a key provided by the customer and destroyed when the customer requests account deletion. The customer would still be able to use their key to decrypt backups that they get prior to the request. If the customer changes their mind, they just upload the key again (along with the backup, if necessary).

Of course, this means trusting Atlassian to actually delete the key on request, but there's not much reason for them not to.

Hiring a lawyer to draft (or really just pull from a file) employment agreements is also going to be dirt cheap. And they'll tell the employer, by the way, they'll have to pay a small annual fee to the state, too.

($800? Are we all really talking about a measly $800!?)

I figure if a dependency is good enough for a new project it's good enough for an existing one as well. Either way, it needs to be vetted.

That's the whole point. Powerful proponents of small government want to do anything and everything with no consequences. They've duped a lot of less-wealthy suckers into believing that having fewer public services will benefit them somehow, and/or that the only thing standing in the way of personal success is the government. They talk a lot about figures like word count in legislation and other easy to understand concepts (even to folks with low education).

Maybe that's the reason, but it happens if you try to buy any five CDs -- including used CDs. I just verified it by adding five different CDs by five different artists to my cart and then clicking "proceed to checkout".
