What I'm fascinated by was that whomever eventually funded Pandora didn't apparently do a great job of due diligence. Did they realize a large chunk of the funds they invested would pay the employees two years of back salary that were illegally withheld?

Even if you didn't do a good job of due diligence wouldn't a careful review of the balance sheet revealed the employees hadn't been paid? Or did the founder lie also to the VC's? Makes me want to know the entire story.

Thank you for the comment — feedback like yours helps us continuously find ways to improve!

I'm really interested in digging in a bit deeper, as you've expressed some thoughts we haven't heard before, and I'm hoping to improve the site more.

> I'm not getting any younger, and I find that the non-white background combined with the light weight of the font hard to read

This is interesting. The text color is #000, and the background color is #fafafa. This is a higher contrast ratio than the wirecutter, hn, etc. Since the purple background is easier to read on, it might be that the text is actually too high-contrast. It probably doesn't help that our font is a bit on the narrow side. I have a couple of ideas on how to fix it, but don't have a great idea on how to test it.

> I think adding screen grabs would help break up the monotony of long streams of text, and give people an idea of what the UI looks like for the product(s). One of the first things I look for on any SAAS landing page are screenshots, so I can see what the UI looks like. Adding screen grabs in your reviews would save some time for me.

This is particularly interesting for me to hear. Would you be willing to elaborate a bit more on how exactly you use screengrabs in your decisions? In my personal experience (emphasis on personal), screengrabs don't provide much value because they're mainly used as feature demonstrations.

We try to take an approach where we don't focus on the features, but rather the overall impact in aggregate (e.g. we won't focus on who has the best funnel analysis, but will ask who has the best core analytics functionality). We strongly believe that this synthesis approach is more useful, but it also means that features overviews are lower priority.

However, I'd be curious to know how you use them, as it sounds like you get value from them beyond just feature understanding. With a better understanding of how you use them, we can go back and get screenshots that best fit the kind of value that you get from them.
(Notion here) This update gets rid of of that exact block limit for personal use. We do hope and plan to be around for awhile. We're profitable and have raised money to ensure we're able to invest in the product for the long-term (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/technology/notion-startup...).
Just goes to show you how important content is. In this case it's even more important than features and code for me.

This Saturday I'm going to sit down and spend half an hour:
1. Cancelling Apple Music
2. Installing Spotify
3. Signing up for Spotify
4. Resubscribing to not just this podcast, but the other 10 I have subscribed to.

I've stayed on Apple Music for _years_ because I was just too lazy to switch. There's no way I'll pay for both Apple Music and Spotify though.

Great move Spotify. I have to applaude this even though you're adding an extra errand to my day.
I'd consider it reasonable if there was some way to opt out, and if they made it clear what telemetry was sent - that should be in the readme, I shouldn't have to trawl through the code to find it.

Note that I'm saying this as someone that generally doesn't mind providing telemetry - but they need to be clear.
>> With open source, it's easy to find people to do the fun, modular bits (acceleration curves, palm rejection, etc.).

> If that were true, there wouldn't be crowds of people telling that palm rejection in Linux sucks balls

Reading comprehension. Or intentionally selective misquoting. I'm not sure which one.

I said: "Provided clean, simple, documented, pluggable APIs where people could tinker around with the fun stuff (anyone can make a new algorithm in Python and see it work in 5 minutes)"

Point me to that, and I'll eat my words. My claim is that IF you provide all the plumbing and infrastructure, people will do the fun stuff. Plumbing isn't fun, though.

In either case, I don't think an inability to read "qualifies [you] to tell [me] where exactly [I] can shove [my] $250 and [my] condescending ignorant attitude, and how deep [I] can shove it, too, along with the horse [I] rode in on." It qualifies you for remedial third-grade reading classes. :) I highly recommend them.

I think I'm perfectly qualified to decide where to spend my own money, and it just went to DIGImend.
Totalitarian to who ... that's the question. America is fairly totalitarian to Mexicans, Native Indians to a very huge degree and to black people on a minor degree. In the same vein China is totalitarian to people who are not Han-Chinese. A majority of the Chinese live perfectly reasonable and modern lives.
Old enough to be mindful about the health consequences of worrying about the wrong things and not worrying about the right things.
Making it per-base rather than per-user is odd.

Suppose I'm thinking of using airtable to build something shared between all our staff. If I have 10 staff on the pro tier they can add 5000 items each.

But if I pay ten times as much for 100 staff they can only add 500 items each.

My guess is that it's more of a technical limit, and they had difficulty making it perform well for larger bases.
“no intent to extinguish presumably -- but the same effect.“

Agree. No intent but the same result.
My optimistic side hopes that this is so they can do some investigative journalism into surveillance capitalism without being hypocrites.
Minority of what exactly?

As pointed out downthread, a lot more people on earth don’t have FB than do.

I’d also wager plenty of people who’ve stopped using it still technically “have” an account but never use it.

So how do you define that “the majority” use Facebook?
As far I've seen from the video you can mirror you Facebook Shop on both Facebook and Instagram meaning they will look and feel the same.

"Also what about for folks who don't use either of those services?" Then obviously you won't use Facebook Shop, you can use Amazon or any other ecommerce service.
I'm sad that so many of the top comments here are Notion skeptical. I have loved Notion from the very beginning and used it as a personal repository for a long time.

More recently, we used Notion - where 'we' = a group of professional volunteers; professional in that everyone had skills to contribute and volunteer in that no one is being paid for those contributions - to create a Citizen-to-Citizen long term support platform for those impacted adversely by the COVID19 epidemic. In India in case you're wondering.

The challenges are many:

1. Make it clear that we see ourselves not as a charity but as a citizen to citizen support network - today it could be that person, but tomorrow it could be you. We have to design around the dignity of the recipient and the donor.

2. We need to identify potential beneficiaries whose needs are verifiable. Which means involving organizations that work with migrant laborers at scale (to take a key demographic) and can verify and on-board those potential beneficiaries.

3. We need to pull together the back-end and front-end technology to make donations without intermediaries, i.e., there's no middleman receiving and storing the money - it's a direct transfer from one individuals account to another individual's account. No administrative fees and with any luck we could even see if the credit card fees can be waived.

4. Compelling and easy to grasp design that inspires trust in potential donors and even more importantly, builds solidarity between the donor and the recipient. We are all in this together, aren't we?

5. A communications strategy that brings in donors and creates a democratic narrative around donations.

Each one of these needs several individuals and sometimes several organizations to collaborate and agree upon a course of action. Notion helped us do that layer by layer, with the top level principles leading naturally to more technical decisions and an easy way to share content with non-technical but nevertheless insightful leaders in organizations that are providing essential services.

We first tried doing it with a combination of Google docs, Github repositories and other pieces of chewing gum and string, but once we shifted to Notion we never looked back. So much so that the next project this group is attempting is Notion native.
No, it isn't easy for me to say this is what needs to be done.

I don't have a job at the moment, I'm trapped in another state, and I started a non profit to distribute hand sanitizer for free in that community -- BECAUSE IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO EASILY PURCHASE. The Purell factory is literally 10 miles away, and yet we are not where we need to be.

I realize that it totally sucks that we need to do these things in order to safely resume normal society. Wouldn't it be great if we had spent the last 2 months making steady progress on those goals?

No, tried the other way, impossible to play even on lowest settings. Try Factorio, it's 2D and runs smooth as butter on my laptop.
It's a really interesting question. My gut tells me that Shopify is looking for a suitor and this is facebook's way of de-risking (validating?) a potential investment.

I don't know how Trello has 50M users, and how so many people and companies can use it for project management. For anything more than a single board, I find it terribly lacking in functionality. Can't even see all your cards across boards without scrolling 50 times.

If influencers choose to work with advertisers, then jeopardize their circle's trust due to advertiser affiliation, they would lose that trust. It self-corrects; as long as the system doesn't reinforce the network effect.
I don’t see this as a positive for FB at all.

To me, this looks like FB has finally accepted defeat in the social networking space. Over the years it has been deteriorating at delivering on its core mission of connecting people and supporting personal relationships.

I don’t think FB of the past would have green lighted this project, the hit on its brand positioning is significant. It will only accelerate people’s disassociation between FB and a social network.

Effectively, at this point they’re just cashing in on their brand equity and milking their user base.

They’ll pay in terms of churn and decreased LTV.
It supports imports from QIF and OFX/QFX files, CSV files, MT940 and MT942 files and DTAUS files. It also has an "online banking" integration thing, but I have no idea what kind of bank has username/password logins that would work with this.

Personally, I don't mind manually entering the stuff, because you'll need to classify everything into the correct accounts anyway.
The point is that they probably have no idea what else they would have to change/retune in that process to account for the pipes being straight. It makes sense that they would seek to avoid changes to the greatest possible extent, given the costs involved.

Blogging is not dead. It is just unevenly discoverable.

And that creates an interesting problem that is still waiting for a solution.
Are you replying to me, or just hijacking to make a general point? Because FB gets blocked at DNS at my house, I could have saved you some typing on "values".
The discussion was about unemployment benefits, which in most every case is not limited to US citizens. I believe that when the person who you quoted used the term "citizens," they meant it in a looser sense to refer to people eligible for unemployment benefits, which is what I responded to. Citizenship is also not sufficient proof to receive benefits, so I'm unclear why we're trying to add another confounding factor when states already have a (less than comprehensive) system for tracking residency that can be adapted.

And that's definitely an important shortcoming in GnuCash. I don't know of a great way to deal with transactions that go beyond "categories". You could use the description field + custom reporting, but that seems a bit error-prone. Luckily, I haven't run into many cases where I felt like I needed something like this.

"X is alive / X is dead" is binary thinking and taking sides on this is pointless and divisive. Better to use a float rather than a boolean to model how popular something is.
They didn't seem to target me well before I started blocking ads, or when I used Facebook where uBlock Origin doesn't work and where I pretty much voluntarily told them everything about me before I wised up. But your point is well taken.
I'd wager that depends on how the law is written. The court may be unwilling to make scientific conclusions, unless the law is somehow vague on the matter. IOW, if the law states, "every one shall receive the following vaccination," I doubt a court would allow the presence of antibodies to preclude enforcement of such a law.
I don't believe we emulate a set of rules that were somehow arbitrarily created at some point in history. I believe logic is something we discover (not invent) and it has roots in both human cognition and the physical world, and it's not fully known or understood exactly how they emerge. Hence, logic is still a developing field, and logic programming has indeed contributed to it.

"Intelligence" is a vague term, but if you mean the ability to act rationally or even in a coherently self-interested way, then surely logic has something to do with it.
It's an awesome package for generate go code :)

#1 is freedom to redistribute the original software, alone or in aggregate. I don't see how it violates that. #6 is freedom from discrimination regarding field of endeavour. Restrictions on commercial use (including exercise of the other freedoms in a commercial context, e.g. sale of modified versions) violate #6, not #1.
I tried and failed at using Notion due to a lack of recurring tasks. Also a lot of what was said on here about being too unstructured of an environment.

I found myself wasting time setting things up and then not using them. I found the community full of people bragging about the beautiful minimalism of their dashboards. I'm not sure if anyone is "getting things done," however.

I'd be willing to pay Notion for the ability to use recurring tasks, but they seem interested in solving every other problem with their platform before tackling recurring tasks.

Do you own one? I have never heard of anyone ever having to replace anything but the cartridge and saw blade.

Even then, the expensive saw blades can be sent back to the manufacturer and resharpened after such an incident.
There was even a strange case when I think it was civ 5 which removed the global warming mechanic.
Not just exotic aircraft! Celestial navigation was used by all kinds of long range aircraft, military and civilian, until the 1960s or so. Early jetliners (including the first models of the 747, for example) had sextant ports in the top of the fuselage; older aircraft might have "astrodomes". There's a continuous line of use from age-of-sail seafarers to jet-age aircraft. I think the military trained with sextants for air navigation until the 1990s, as a backup method for inertial and satellite.

The main difference being that star sights were taken manually, with an instrument and an eyeball, instead of automatically like the SR71.

Of course satellites did and still do use star trackers. The Apollo astronauts took star sights too, presumably for orientation rather than position.
There was a big gap in parity between a web page and a native app in those days(the gap is still large today, but companies have a vested interest in keeping their software on their servers so you can subscribe forever...). Apple caught a lot of crap for not launching with a way to run native applications, and their web toolkit was a joke.

The functional web browser was the main killer app, but the additional functionality of native applications is a non trivial part of the modern smartphone's success.
Appreciate the suggestions. To be honest, we spent a decent amount of time on table formatting, but we'll take another look. We think horizontal headings are out of the question though, b/c we don't see a way to preserve the table format going that route.
Not so much. Even by their own article (with its own biases - show me an article on this site that has ever postulated that there might be merit to restrictions):

> Completing each “cause of death worksheet” involves listing the “immediate cause” of death, the “underlying cause(s)” that initiated the events culminating with the immediate cause of death, and “(o)ther significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause.” These fields are completed based on the “best medical opinion” of the certifier.

Is not "overstating deaths ... to support their intent to retain strict restrictions". It's stating - as it would with _any other disease_ that the patient had other co-morbidities, just as if you had diabetes, or CHF, etc. It's not the exaggerated, grand standing hyperbole of "Patient in car accident had COVID-19, so COVID-19 was listed as the cause of death", which simply hasn't happened. "Contributing to death, but not the underlying cause, in the best medical opinion of the physician/ME".

In contrast, Florida has numerous documented instances of government interference with this (restricting coroners from reporting _any_ data, pressuring law firms related to the media filing FOI requests).
Well if you was actually aware of that, you've purposefully put out repeated mis-information in what's supposed to be a trustworthy, reliable guide.

How do I now trust your analysis on the "big three" tools when you haven't nailed the basics of the OG Google Analytics?
I get that this is something you are passionate about but the way you move goalposts and use ad hominem against every counter argument to yours doesn't help your point, nor does constantly bashing anyone who has a differing opinion.

Make a rational argument to convince others, dont call names and avoid points you don't want to discuss, it just makes you look like a troll, and gives vegans/vegetarians a bad look by proxy.

You have consistently avoided the fact that people eat meat (whether or not you like it or agree with it, you dont get to choose for other people), that animals in the wild have far less 'humane' deaths, in the wild, ie starvation and disease, etc.

I agree this is a problem that needs a solution, but I don't see you giving one other than 'stop eating meat, morons'.
A $200 saw blade can be resharpened after such an incident. It’s not as expensive as you might think.
It very much depends on what hardware you have currently.

You could remove the DNS block and only block it from loading from 3rd party sites using the built-in Firefox support or a suitable WebExtension (and also block it in non-browser apps if desired by setting up a MITM proxy with a certificate only trusted by the browser and user agent filtering).
I assume what people are interested in is one thing, but things they may _need_ is another.

Being able to hoover up information that is more up to date than when you last filled out the survey means they could potentially be more accurate. i.e. You're shopping for some type of product, your search history and browser history indicates this, but is outside the realm of what you filled out in the survey. Being able to direct some ads that fit your current needs could be lucrative.

I'm not an advertiser, but this is just my small bit of thought on it. Perhaps others are able to confirm or deny this is what's happening.
