It seems to me like this is a core problem with the scummy nature of this business. I’d like to believe you’re weong but have trouble given the business model.

Motivation has nothing to do with it. Destroying someone else’s property is not something I’d support society doubling down on. Saying your car doesn’t count is horse pucky.

Is that the cost of doing business? $1.5MM surely cannot be impactful to changing behavior of large companies.

I remember in university, our computers in the rec center had restrictions like this. Our email could be opened via web, I would email myself a link to search engine, open email, right click and open in the same frame. At that point you could go anywhere you could find a search result for. Good times.

I agree wholeheartedly. We have rampant drug problems plaguing society but within the white collar and academic world amphetamine is a safe substance for the “unmotivated”. I have trouble agreeing with that.

Infrastructure isn’t free. View access cost money too so not surprised by it.

It's a choice, right? No one is forcing anyone to go into pro sports and I don't think anyone overlooks that. However, a lot of youth that end up in the pros come from distraught backgrounds where the prospect of a better life trumps physical wellbeing some time in the distant future.

Set for life because of the retirement I assume. Wonder how different leagues retirement pensions compare.

Is it stored encrypted and only decrypted with my key? If not, e2ee doesn't really prevent hosting provider from sharing your content without your consent.

I’ve noticed a small and hard to quantify degradation in recommender relevance over the last 12 months.

To add, I think I’m seeing less discovery and more popularity bias. I used to discover a lot more.

Ownership aside, what do you mean lobbying? My house is also the outcome of lobbying, it was built here because the city zoned the land in such a way that my house was able to be built.

Reminds me of Tesla full self driving. It’s not really fully autonomous but we will call it that anyway.

Spotify is profitable as of recent quarters.

I think you miss the point. This page was linked to you from somewhere. “Home” in that context is back where you came from, I.e. the back button. Finding this page could have come from anywhere and sites don’t have to have pages keep you in their domain. That’s not how the web used to work. Nowadays everyone has their own “site” and it’s a much different eco system from decades ago.

Which by itself it crazy to me.

Can you expand on financially precarious? Would like to understand what this refers too.

Unicorns exist but in the job search it’s a crap shoot to find one. Nearly impossible to identify in an interview setting and likely only through world of mouth.

Maybe I’m an outlier but I continue to use Evernote. It works well as of last 6 months (have had an account for over a decade) and find it just works well enough to not abandon.

That has little to nothing to do with heat pumps does it?

I do something, it just doesn’t involve YouTube or other streaming services anymore.

Not sure Apple is targeting your market segment then. Clearly they are doing something right considering their revenue, value and performance. The 13 mini has an oled display, not sure what you’re disagreeing with.

Fewer skus seems like a massive simplifier to me. The SE and the mini seem to me like their “cheaper” line. I love my iPhone 13 mini for form factor.

Not surprised, where Apple has concentrated brand and product line value, Microsoft has breadth of business.

Apple has the i-line of products, MacBooks and “services”. Microsoft has desktop, devices, games, cloud. It’s no surprise to me.

I guess you can dismiss my point, I’m aware of those options and frankly, not interested in deploying them. I have better things to do with my time and life.

I use an htpc (nvidia shield) so that’s not an option. Either way, I’m sort of tired of going out of my way to avoid a shitty user experience. If it sucks, I’ll do something else.

YouTube has gotten beyond out of control. Ad to start, ads in middle. I’m giving up and reading more books, playing more video games. Used to enjoy YouTube, cooking, aquariums and other hobbies. I feel bad for the content creators who are at the mercy of Alphabet.

Seeing prime announce ads broke the camels back for me.

Hindsight? When I test our app, I don't use my CC, I ask the company for one or for mock data that would pass through the production system. I would never use my personal information to tie my personal finances to my employer for a work task. That's just setting yourself up for problems like your friend found.

Anecdotally, my 10 year old nephew asked for one for Christmas this year. When we asked why he wanted one, he replied “to write stuff.”

Not sure but I wonder if there is some hipster youth trend where writing is making a comeback?

Don’t text notifications suffice?

I wonder the same thing. It seems like something that at Amazon scale we pick on but at physical store scale we discard as not possible.
