looks like firefox' content blocking prevents some resources from loading, basically disabling your site.
apart from the obvious google tag blockage this one pops up in the console:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/hot.json. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
you are right and i pretty much forgotten about that.
microsoft fought a similar battle in europe with the same legal outcome and basically resulting in a "browser pick" splash when you installed the OS and that was about it.
that's a story where there was actually taken some action.
but, for example, for years it's been frowned upon that companies like apple "bank" their money in, for example, ireland and get away with not paying taxes in the countries they actually have offices.
that's a story where there has been no action for a (known) issue like the one described in the aticle. so how likely will it be that tech giants will create a legal entity abroad, hosting their platform, whilst they will continue to be the biggest player on that platform?
i'm not saying ms. warren doesn't have a point, just that it seams that this is just another "symptom control" item which sounds politically correct, but won't get any traction in the "real world"
sounds like cutting down a tree when it gets too big rather than preventing it growing like that...
i'm quite sure companies like google, apple, facebook, etc. are creative enough to find a way to get around this restriction which will just ensure a false sense of security.
i get the whole monopoly and fair competition issues, but haven't there been rules and regulations for those for quite a while?
apart from that: how realistic is this scenario to get actual laws enforing it when those same companies are pretty much funding the government?
"Armani, Brooks Brothers, [ ... ], Vogue and Versace" neither of them, as far as i know, make decent "regular" glasses.
i've been wearing glasses for the last 42 years and apart from when you're a kid (because you break more shit than your parents would like to admit) you don't need (nor want) a different frame each year; it's not a fashion thing, it's something you actually need to function.
with that in mind: you don't go to a pearl store to get measurements for your eyes, at least not if you want them to be accurate.
so yeah, Luxottica might be behind a lot of "fashion based" eyeware, but hey who's running the show for sneakers or training suits other than nike and adidas? i mean, this is nothing new and if you want to be trendy it's going to cost you.
meanwhile i think i spent ~€1000 on frames and lenses the last 15 year whilst wearing silhouette. so, at least for me, it's not as bad as the article makes it out to be
basically starting a rant about being a tightass about code review with a bad piece of code
it implicates that the developer who wrote the code, controls when it gets merged without a "proper" review
of course i'm unaware of your codebase and your entire workflow, but a change / addition in a swagger file implicates a change in an endpoint of your api. how do you make sure other applications / resources with the changed library as a dependency, don't run into problems when you're auto merging and auto bumping dependencies?
nevertheless, auto approving and merging pull requests and also auto bumping dependecies with only a bot as reviewer does sound like a very bad idea in general. how does one make sure the bump required for service A doesn't break service B which also relies that dependency? admitted, testing someone else's code is not the most exciting part of being a developer, but it's a necessary evil isn't it?
to be honest, this workflow sounds like hotfix hell to me when you'd combine it with continuous deployment...
- spent $100.000 on personal branding, but what was spent on building the instagram following and what was the ROI on that part?
- "If you wanna know how to get to a million followers, it’s not complicated." so why does he only has 118.000 followers? did he give up before reaching his goal?
- "And guess what? Thanks to that exclusivity, he’s the most searched-for term. If you type “Seth” into Google, “Seth Godin” is the first search result. " first of all no he's not and second of all he's not in the suggestion list because he doesn't broadcast his mailing list. would have been nice to see some reasoning behind that statement.
- "It cost me $1,000 to speak at All Thing Social Media Event or at Soho House on growth hacking. I was able to generate at least $10,000, in some cases even 100X on my spend." is part of the sentence is missing? how do you get 1000% ROI from such gigs?
ramblings...
any of us still missing those?
needless to say that it kinda sucks when a new device forces you to buy new adapters / peripherals, but in the long run, is this really an issue?
most of us consume content rather than generating it and as the internet has become of such great interest to big companies and governments, parts of the (news) information we consume is biased and sometimes plain false, just like it is in the offline world.
> Never before have we had such great resources to see through things absolutely true, but people have to be willing to see through things / be skeptic. i think (assumption) the largest part of the people using the internet do not question what they read and are not likely to do so in the future, hence my suggestion to "delete the internet"...
i'm not saying i disagree with anyone or that we should censor everything on the internet, i'm just saying that the internet is no longer that obscure thing where everything is rainbows and unicorns and has become of big corporate and political interest.
so we _should_ excpect it to be like the newspaper, the television, the pamflets in your mailbox, etc. (re: "I cannot tell you how sad that is to write, because when I first saw the internet way back when, I hoped that it would help eliminate the attitudes that had fueled those horrible letters to me. I naïvely thought a lone man sending a reporter a missive of malevolence could not find such refuge on the wide-open internet, where his hate would be seen for what it was and denounced and exorcised"): lies and ways to steer you have become part of the game and it's up to you to see through that.
at this point "do something about it", i think, has boiled down to "delete the internet".
i think applies to this scenario as well.
personally i think the internet has outgrown it's "flower power" stage so we either should adjust our sentiment or do something about it
a category / theme browsing method would be added value i think
still works perfectly for me...
which to me doesn't sound too bad (i.e. less than a year of salary). is that inaccurate and is she talking about a complete different figure here?
in the netherlands it's fairly common to finish school with a couple of thousand euro's in debt, so why is this such a big issue in the usa?

though it can be very productive, it certainly comes with it's own set of downsides; - working from home, you'll never get "home from work". in the end, at least in my case, it caused me to work outside working working hours more often as my home became my office. - the occasional brainstorm with your colleauges becomes a chore resulting in skipping those and writing worse code / having more debate over code reviews. even though there are quite a few video conferencing applications around, brainstorm sessions tend to be more effective / productive while having a walk / a coffee / etc together (my $0.02).
so yeah, when your work environment is the cause of burning you out, working from home is a short term solution, finding a better environment the long term one if you'd ask me
that aside, i deleted my facebook account over seven years ago and even though my real life friends give me some grief over that every now and again, i haven't missed it a single day.
apart from the couple of live streamed murders and abuse cases, there's no actual news on there which isn't accessible through another site with public access. and if i long for cat pictures or funny videos there's always imgur and youtube.
facebook, like many other "social media" sites, is more a habit than a necessity and, as far as i'm concerned, highly overrated in it's purpose
like any other diary, you won't re-read it and if you run into an issue of which you know you've faced it before, chances are that your written down thoughts are that unstructured that solving the issue for a second time probably takes less time than trying to find the solution in your notes.
so if writing down the issues you're facing and their solutions makes it easier for you to remember, go for it, other than that such a diary is of no use to my opinion
