I’ve used raindrop for a year and sadly it’s been a horror story. To begin with it’s a complete maze just to subscribe to it. Second, a serious bug was released that replaced all my bookmarks with some random spam video. Third, the ultimate deal breaker which happened a few days ago, was that the iPad app is so buggy that it deleted all my bookmarks when I tried to simply move a folder to a different folder since the navigation is so broken I was left with no choice. A years worth of bookmarks went “poof!” in a second; words can’t express my rage.

My advice, drop raindrop before it drops your bookmarks.
No the links from school assignments would be broken.
I wouldn't - glassdoor and other moderated discussion boards allow for these smear campaigns to be weeded out but if their usage declines significantly then smear campaigns are going to get a lot more effective again.

I'm not saying the point I outlined above is the best outcome for the world, it's just the outcome for me and it's pretty regrettable that we're sliding back into it.
It is a choice nevertheless. As a business owner, you have the freedom to go this route. As a public company, you also have the freedom to go this route as long as the board/shareholders agree (as they did in Amazon's case.)

If a business owner wants to re-invest for growth and shareholders agree I do not see an issue. Without that, we would never have Amazon, FB, MSFT, or almost any large company (whatever you think of these companies aside)

As an Engineer, I think re-investment is awesome. Compare this to the old mentality of squeezing a company until it has no blood left (as Private Equity companies often do.) As long as the company is profitable and re-investing, this is a huge net value to society IMHO.
> But the key thing is using my own domain name.

Then the trust is placed in your registrar. Maybe that's where the trust should be placed from your perspective, but do note that you're still choosing to trust another organization who's interests may not totally align with yours.
Ignorance is not a virtue. Learn about the history of American broadcast media and congressional oversight and get back to me...
It's even worse than that, Yelp has been accused and proven that they write or have written bad reviews themselves.
Something about this argument doesn't smell right.

I care about the crime rate, or car accident rate, or botched surgery rate, because it tells me the odds that something bad will happen to me.

Given a stable rate of bad things, population growth alone causes more bad things to happen.

If we took your argument about absolute harm seriously, then we should, say, encourage population reduction until there are only 10k human beings on the planet. That would surely minimize the number of bad things that continue happening to people.
Narcissism as mental health thing is not positive. If you read the list of traits. It is not merely large ego or confidence. It is not just about decisions of what you build. It is also about outsized emotional reactions which makes narcissist and inability to see others as different individuals.

Wouldn't surprise me if informally once a company pays to become an " Engaged Employer" , they get rid of bad reviews.

The amount of fake reviews here reminds me a bit of Catfishing ( check the FTC lawsuit against the Match Group- they own practically all dating apps). The root problem is your depending on a company which has a vested interest in lying to you.

Glassdoor makes money when companies post jobs , you have a very real conflict of interest if Jill and Joe post about how shitty their employer is. Yet the same employer is spending 5k a year to post ads.

I've been ignoring Glassdoor reviews for a bit though. Even word of mouth can be useless, a family member got fired from company X. My experience with company X has been great. The same family member can't hold a job for more than 6 months.

In all fairness the people most likey to cry about an employer on Glassdoor are bitter with sour grapes. After I've had a bad experience , I'm on to the next glass of wine.
I think minikube is for local usage. I use K3S for deploying an actual production cluster, so I’m more curious about how micro-k8s acts on that scale
This is why having email service using your own domain is important. Should Gmail decide to suddenly terminate your account you can point the MX records to a new provider and be up and running in an hour or two. I would argue that any free email service is a liability. It's one of the things that's very important & worth paying for.
Take Google back to court.

The judiciary will not be happy with Google seemingly taking a reprisal against you for wining against them in small claims court.

It might be worth speaking to a lawyer to see if you can seek punitive damages.
What makes you think he'd get penalized by his work for this. What makes you think he'd want to stay if this was a threat to his job?
"Failed to deprecate enough stuff"

Did you by any chance observe any of the folks involved officially saying that deprecating things was one of the goals? I thought keeping working code working has always been of the C++'s official goals.
Well, leaked proprietary code is not open source. Just having a peek at the leaked code would create bias for the dev, which would eventually harm the project. Noone contributing to ReactOS should take a glance at the leaked code. So the leaks hurts both MS and ReactOS, simultaneously.
They sell printers which “solve” that problem by locking you in to one type of filament.

I would love to see automatic print failure detection (with a camera, even a micro camera at the nozzle).

Figuring out the correct settings for unknown plastic seems like it would be hard to solve, but perhaps there’s some base material properties that could be determined automatically which might help. I’ve noticed that the Prusa 3D printer software has a sizable database of filament brands in its material settings section. I’d be curious how foolproof those settings all are for each brand of filament. But of course a manufacturer could change formulation at any time...

I solve this problem by only buying one of two brands and keeping custom settings for them.

I started my career in CNC machining. People always thought that meant software did everything for me, but no I had to choose tool sizes, spindle RPM, feed rates, depth of cut, etc. The CNC is not a magic machine that makes parts for you, it’s a tool. So I guess I’m a bit biased for thinking that current 3D printers are super useful tools that require a certain amount of operator competency. You cannot put any random filament in and expect good results, and actually that might be a hard problem to solve on the back end. Much easier to pay attention to what brand you order and feed in good quality stuff.

But idk. You’re right that they’re fiddly AF and I’m just used to it. If they could solve those problems it would surely help adoption.
Yes, it's built with Electron. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the framework. Plenty of amazing apps are built with Electron, and they're fast and snappy. Without Electron, we'd never be able to bring WebCatalog to all major desktop platforms.
It is something we already tried, but it is not improving anything.
It's definitely not the cheapest option, but if you don't have a large storage requirement, 25 Mail St. is a good option. I host my own personal email, but have set a couple clients up with 25 Mail St. and it's been excellent. By far the best part is the support - all support is done by the engineers instead of customer support staff following a script. They're incredibly transparent about things like support statistics, and are understandably proud of their metrics. The main downside is the low amount of storage offered for the price.

It's run by the same company as Rimuhosting and Zonomi, if you're familiar with either.
> Also, I had a thought that a smart miner will just create a thin layer between Backblaze B2 and Filecoin to earn some FIL basically for free since no one is going to out-price B2. And then we're just back to storing everything on B2 and S3, except in a less efficient and more opaque way.

They can totally do this, but they are on the hook for that data. If the backing store for the data that the miner is trusting goes down, the miner loses a pretty significant amount of collateral (currently 0.2 FIL per 32GB sector).

In practice, we're seeing most miners set up their own storage clusters. Whether a bunch of small (100TB-1PB) nfs boxes, or much bigger single filesystem CEPH clusters.
you've listed one platform (of many) where it's possible to (in some cases where there is a .cert or .pem file sitting in an apk), updated that apk pkg, & then use side-loading (not available on os'es) to install that hacked package.

there's a number of caveats to your steps, it will definitely not be this easy in all cases. and i while this wasn't all that difficult, it's still a situation where the OS is actively working to prevent the user from being able to understand their system. and most platforms don't provide even this much of an affordance, of opening, rebuilding, & side-loading packages.
They're also saying "Don't say that your app overcame a bug in iOS, that's irrelevant".

The entire thread is full of people jumping on the hate train, did anyone even stop to consider that Google is right on this?
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/40695?hl=en There are two points here: first, they claim to provide a reason for closing your account when you log in to your google account (not google service). The OP provided what looks like google service notification on his mobile, but could be on desktop (thanks to reply for noticing this). Second, after escalating the issue internally, decided to email (internally) people saying this is an attack on his family. He is also publicly looking for a job. This seems like a severe overreaction for a google account ban... I think there is reasonable doubt here to suspect something is wrong here more than "Google decided to arbitrarily ban a specific account among billions in order to target one of their employees."
Robinhood estimates hackers infiltrated almost 2000 accounts
Other folks might reply differently but my honest response is - I'm not going to do that. When I've switch jobs I've never had a shortage of offers so if I saw that post it'd raise a flag for me and I'd be less inclined to follow up with that company - other really positive factors might swing it back or not. This means I might end up missing a great opportunity but job searches are never exhaustive and we all just try to do the best we can to evaluate different positions with our limited resources.
Learn JavaScript and Node.js with Microsoft-now loves non .NET languages?
Is this really the first you are hearing about it? Intelligence agencies have been trying to tell people for multiple years now that russia is actively doing things like this.
So... I did this:

switch(override){
default:
if(foo==42){
case THING1:
code_here();
}else if(bar&0x42){
case THING2:
other_code();
}else{
case THING3:
more_code();
}
}

I thought it was more readable than the alternatives.

> I think those laws would help tremendously, but mostly by forcing everyone to be overly cautious not to break them, creating strong chilling effects. They'd stifle freedom, and so does Google's secret law system.

No need to have new secret laws - there are already enough obscure laws that I guarantee you have broken many of them whose statute hasn't expired. That is why you shouldn't speak to cops without a lawyer.

That said - it's not a Google problem as it's the norm. Most services, banks or even potential employers will tell you the reason for declining service - not because they want a chilling effect, but because there are so many ways it can get wrong (for them).
True, but they had close relationships with ancient Egypt, including various periods of rule by and of Egypt proper, and their cultural artifacts and practices were very heavily Egyptianized, to a point where it's a fine distinction whether something is Nubian or Egyptian, for a period of something like a thousand years
Do you have an about page? Pretty skeptical of using any site that doesn't have any info on creators or the org.
I've seen the exact same thing as a small-mediumish (100-200 now) start-up I used to work for, there'd be an email sent around to encourage employees to leave a good review, seeing as you can't change your review after it's a scary way to waste your shot.

But I guess that shots wasted anyways if the system is rigged to begin with.
This may be true in general, but TFA contains a number of references to cases in which protections given by the courts to large media firms clearly exceed the law that Congress wrote. Neither is this some dusty law haunting us from centuries ago. It was written in direct response to the Stratton Oakmont case from a year prior to its passing, and the cases under discussion started immediately upon that passing. None of the lobbyists who wrote this bill are dead. If someone is curious what they meant, they can be made available for discussion, given an appropriate fee.
I think you're maybe missing the point, just a bit.

The problem isn't that tech savy people can protect themselves, it's that most people can't and won't.
FWIW, author is Gen Z, not a Millennial. The latest end birth I've seen for Millennials is 2000 (normally ~1996); as a rising freshman, author was most likely born in 2001-2003.

OT: Gen Z are about to show us what it really looks like when people spend their entire lives online. Be ready.
I don't know man?

Can't legislate physics. At some point, people are going to need to decide that they shouldn't use some of this stuff. Or maybe make the stuff last longer? Or figure out how to recycle it? Not sure. So many issues from refining through to product lifecycle. (The fact that solar panels cannot be recycled for instance really kills me personally. Like a dagger to my heart.)

I don't know what the answer is, but it's clear we have a long way to go.
If you only need a car for 10% of trips, why not take taxis? It would likely be cheaper and easier (no hassles with parking in the city).
Maybe a good idea for most of us, probably a bad idea if you work there.
If you're using a tag like centos:8, I agree. That's why it's not a good practice to use centos:8 as your base image.
No, Thomas is arguing that all of the cases he's cited were wrongly decided, even though many of those cases take textualist approaches to section 230.

In fact, his argument boils down to: these websites in these cited cases did things I consider immoral, so the fact that section 230 explicitly protects the providers in these institutes is wrong because these companies were somehow actually the publishers of the content on their website. Thomas never once supports his claim that the websites became publishers in any of the cases he cites.

In fact, Thomas is attempting to rewrite section 230, by trying to limit provider protections to just the safe harbor provided in section 230(c)(2).
If you look at Stripe’s strategy, they tend to ride certain horses rather throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks, so it wouldn’t have made sense for them to buy 2-3 when they only need to buy 1 that’s really good.

Education would not work that well either unfortunately. On the card it says 'not for identification' (in most cases now). Once the number was disassociated from the advice people did whatever with it. It is a thing where identity theft usually starts. It is one thing companies like to do is get whatever info they can and keep it forever and do random things with it.
Pretty much how I'd feel if I worked at G and they locked out my partner's account.

There's emotion there, but I don't see their words as being beyond the pale.
Not necessarily.

It sounds like you went without any cars - did you forego taxis etc as well?
Sure, but training (and, I guess, support, but in the "helping users" sense not in the "installing patches/upgrades" sense) is the vast majority of the expense.

I think you misunderstand US copyright law. With few exceptions, almost all pictures and emails are copyright by whoever took the picture or wrote the email. Is there some reason that these would not qualify?

- Lying to the American public about the threat of covid (on tape)

What do you want to call it?
Yes - my view is that attacking a statue is, in your mind, very close to attacking a person.

So you are thinking “if this was a real person, how am I going to really ruin their day”, understanding that you are not actually attacking a person. But it sure probably feels more like it than hitting a granite tile.
> Do you think it's acceptable for someone to circulate a manifesto that argues that conservatives are unlikely to make good engineers, because they are more authoritarian, and authoritarians are less creative, and are less likely to challenge the status quo?

In academia, you could publicly collect signatures under such manifesto, and people would be afraid not to sign.

In Google... dunno, someone has to try. Unless it already happened.
Jack Dorsey faces Senate subpoena after blocking NY Post articles
Since you're bringing up the idea that perhaps the ban was legitimate, it really does need to be mentioned that one scenario here is that the user did actually fail to comply with the terms or policies.

But even if this were the case, it is pretty unfair to not at least know what you are being accused of.
Hear me out, what about an armband?
I, for one, would never say that. Unfortunately for millennials, they can't take credit for the work of Gen Z.
This is the part that everyone overlooks when they're basking in the glow if their fancy new free email account. You're not really a customer in the traditional sense, so you have very little leverage. Don't rely on such an account to be the center of your digital life. Don't rely that way on a paid account, either, but still, especially not a free one provided by a huge megacorp.
That's wild, we're a fairly small Azure customer (compared to others) and I get calls and emails every month from a rep asking us what they can do, if anything. I think Microsoft is maybe a bit smarter at this by connecting sales to CSMs, because they can up sell and get you to support if you need it. While with Google it's a big shell game.
I don’t think anyone suggested moderating shouldn’t happen or that it isn’t hard. This situation isn’t the result of unpaid mods of a web forum - Google has incredibly vast resources at its disposal.

Thanks for sharing - this is very timely information. I've been trying to get my bookmarks under control, and I decided to start evaluating Raindrop.

My biggest issue up front was how slow and somewhat clunk it felt. For something that manages bookmarks, it needs to be fast an unobtrusive. It shouldn't feel like a chore to create a bookmark.

Maybe I was using it wrong.

In any case, I'm glad I'm ending the experiment early.

I truly hope they can sort these issues out.

So let me rephrase what you just said, you want your life as a pedestrian to rely on software that is not verified by 3rd party in any way and only rely on good faith of manufacturer? Did it ever work well?

Also such manufacturer can update software literally everyday without any external regression testing?

I agree that most of what you mention won't happen but failure mode of AI cars would be much different and imho much worse as pretty impossible to predict.

I’m not convinced that all platforms have the exact same error ratio - that would be interesting if supported by research.

But that’s irrelevant.

My statement isn’t a comment on Apple’s error ratio.

It’s a statement about how people respond to what they see as the market leader.

People care about problems with Apple in a way that they don’t with other players, because they are perceived as better. There is money to be made in trying to tear Apple down. That’s just part of the dynamics of the attention economy.

Whether this is just a function of spending on marketing, seems highly unlikely.

My understanding is that Google and the Android manufacturers as a whole far outspent Apple in the early years of the iPhone, and didn’t end up with the same perception.

In any case, however it was achieved, we do agree that they are perceived differently to the other players, and this is what my comment is based on.
