For what it's worth, I didn't read any "scorched earth" rhetoric in dougmwme's original post. I thought it was a reasoned argument, well-explained, in a way that gave me a really interesting perspective on the situation (as someone who has heard and thought about these sorts of perspectives often).

Maybe read it after applying the principle of charity, without assuming the writer is angrily banging on the keyboard, and instead is being thoughtful and trying to teach?
Damn. I recently started using notion but this is crap customer service. Sorry this happened.
Impact over effort in spades. Congrats!
There was a statement by LEGO's CEO a few years ago making the same point - that they wished they invented minecraft, and talking about how they totally missed the ball on that.
Thanks, crazysim
That's generally not what I've seen. It's generally just the same sorts of folks from top schools.
Have watched a number of people decline from hard drugs. Have lost years and huge sums trying to help some.
Now it’s to the point where entire family hopes they get arrested before they kill someone.

A few cleaned up some. But never the same.

Zero sympathy for people pushing stuff.

Yeah, for the goal of verifying claims that is good enough indeed.

I'm not sure it is good enough for a variety of other possibly useful use-cases though; eliminating bias in an existing model, correcting a flaw in the training code, creating a different model and proving it is better by training on the same data etc.

It would be nice if there were more public/libre data sets for ML stuff.

I think so too. At the same time I think I can emphatize with a person that does.
Because you're projecting?
I’m obviously in the minority here but I appreciate that kind of tone. Yeah, it sucks that I’ve found a bug but the vast majority of the time, the devs involved hate the bug more than I do.

I think the best way to handle support is to be yourself.

A 15 year old can't be a surgeon because they can't perform surgery. This is a false equivalence.
Reading your example code and explanation already makes me hope I never have to open my debugger on this code. :)

A simple service that I explicitly import and call methods on is so much easier to understand. Hell, even if all services were global, singleton, objects with static methods that'd even be preferable.
I was mostly with you up until:

> the evidence is absolutely clear that a ketogenic carnivore diet is the healthiest diet

There is no single blanket "healthiest diet". Dietary requirements vary, sometimes dramatically, across the gamut of humanity; and then:

> It works miracles on everyone who tries it. There are piles of people who cured themselves of very serious health problems with it.

That is a super misleading statement. A diet is not a miracle cure and should never be presented as one, because like all snake-oil health claims it sells false hope to the desperate. A low-GI diet may improve insulin resistance; a low calorie diet may improve obesity. Neither of these are certain outcomes, neither of them are cures for disease, and neither strategy even particularly requires a ketogenic carnivore diet.
Nope, but it is sad when such a person wishes to have a child
Something I've wondered about this is the social pressure around dysphoria. Dysphoria, ironically, has become trendy, particularly about social media. See the "cis is boring" view that's been in vogue for some time across multiple social media platforms. This article on increasing rates of desistance after lockdown [1] (Disclaimer: Evidence isn't well structured and is arguably anecdotal) makes me consider the positive impact of social pressure on transition. That detransition seems like a clear blind spot in the literature (deliberately? it's another r/l culture war hotspot) means that all we get is anecdote for now though. Do note that other studies seem to report relatively high rates of desistance amongst children transitioners as compared to adults.

Yes, this! I've been doing software development as a job in some form or other for nearly 20 years, and I finally feel like I've really started to get the hang of it over the last couple of years ~wry grin~
> Around 3 months ago, I started having issues with their "Export" feature

I'm surprised you continued relying on them even after you realized this feature isn't working 3 months ago.

> I even exchanged emails with the founders giving detailed feedback

It also seems like you've been an early adopter so didn't you half expect this product might have major flaws and probably not the best idea to rely on it so heavily?

There seems to be an unofficial exporter you can use here: https://github.com/kjk/notionapi

Ah the old government food pyramid telling me that bread was good for me.

So much damage done before I clued in how much it was affecting my health.

While I appreciate that and I've been working on it, it seems that whatever I do I just see more evidence for it - the $70k wage cut to not associate with people like me, the significantly lower social class and standard of living people like me have all weighs on me pretty heavily these days.
It is, especially for folks with health conditions or smaller body types.

Cherry picking studies (mostly funded by producers) means never having to admit your vices are a problem.
Either one. You'll eventually open an issue on the other repo too and link them.
It’s literally not similar in any way besides taking place in the air. I mean what are you thinking? This drone is described as traveling at a speed of 100 mph and the ufo in your link is described as accelerating faster than the laws of physics might allow.

Depends-- If I'm in the sell-things-for-a-million-dollars-at-a-huge-profit business, this is great news for me.

Or if I live in a people-that-didn't-just-get-a-million-dollars-go-instantly-homeless-with-their-entire-family community, this is another big win for me. What a boon to the economy, and man we all just dodged a massive bullet.
Oh, I wasn't physically dependent. But taking it at a young age contributed to a polysubstance abuse disorder. I have no issue with adults taking ADD meds by the way. I just don't like the way it's prescribed to kids so frequently (I was on it when I was 9). I'm not sure why the fact that it's evidence based matters because I never questioned that it works (I've taken it more than enough times to know that it works, lol). I'm questioning whether the pros outweigh the cons from a holistic, social perspective.
P.s. the person who first brought it to my attention was a UX designer. Good UX people add so much value. This kind of stuff can be really hard to see on your own.
As someone aproaching middle age and suddenly concious of health, I find claims like below...

> It works miracles on everyone who tries it. There are piles of people who cured themselves of very serious health problems with it.

... very enticing.

Then I wonder, if this were true, why isn't this backed by hard science? Even bad motives and bad statistics cannot hide miracles!

I also wonder, if meat and fat based diet was the best for us, and yet humans AS A society (not as a person) evolved to eat card based diet obviously there has to be some advantage. What it is, I do not know, and I wish this would not change the subject, but the only thing that comes to mind is that eating carbs is the only sustainable way for our species.

While these questions are unresolved, I eat meat once a week, and am otherwise vegatarian. Feeling healthy btw.
Two mathematical physicists took the time to go through his talk on it and pointed out serious flaws with it, which the author didn't address in his paper and has gone on to ignore.

I'm not arguing that prostitution should be illegal because it is immoral (I don't even think it shouldbe illegal), I'm arguing that clearly sex is different than every other activity we engage in and its simply incorrect to pretend that having sex with someone is the same thing as scanning their groceries.

Innocent people do get convicted. Some negatives can't be proven, just like some positive assertions can't be proven.
Infection doesn’t much care about your diet.

Cultures with excellent hygiene practices tended to do well.
I'm glad they got rid of most of them - the description text on startup settings such as "Start minimized" or "Start on bootup" were sentences such as "Have Discord greet you like a good boy", "Have Discord stay in the tray like a good boy"

While it's not trying to downplay anything like OP, it was certainly strange and creepy seeing software adopt Reddit English.
Turns out you only need vitamin C and fiber if you're eating fructose or other sugars. There was a study in the early 1900s where two guys ate meat only for (I think) one year. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Found it.

Downvote all you want, but it's true. Manny people do it today, and I've done it myself for a period.

That said I'm not saying there aren't benefits to fruits and veg, just that you can be perfectly healthy without them.
I think what's key in the author's musings is that meritocracy on its own can lead to sociopaths, bullies, and tyrants controlling society because the institutions at bay sort individuals according to merit, not morals, or subject matter interest.

In many cases the skills of one meritocrat are indistinguishable from another, which leads to ever-increasing hoops that one must jump through to succeed in society.

A lotto could be combined with meritocratic measures like Texas's University 10% rule which ensures geographic and racial diversity.
You mean the cost of having thousands of renters go insta-homeless and thousands of landlords getting stiffed for a year's worth of rent?
I mean, the sentence itself doesn't seem all that bad IMHO, it's the context that makes the difference. If I'm in a real time conversation actively trying to fix the issue, saying "oof, so sorry about this" seems like a perfectly genuine way of expressing the mutual feeling of frustration.

Writing this same sentence with an emoji beside it on a customer support documentation page, however, looks quite unprofessional. In these types of contexts, the general writing etiquette is that one is expected to write using a less casual tone.
Given the US imprisons its citizens at nearly ten times the rate that Germany does, has hugely unpredictable outcomes to civil suits, and clearly has serious problems with reliability of convictions in criminal cases, the question shouldn't be whether the US should have radical changes to its legal system, but how to achieve it.
Unless you have a personal relationship with the person on the other end (like a customer you have been helping for years and are on a first name basis with), the best way to handle support is to be overly professional.

Casual is almost always a recipe for disaster if the person on the other end doesn't know you. It makes it sound like you aren't taking their issue seriously.

This is factually incorrect. Of the four known COVID strains in broad circulation, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines have displayed efficacy against all of them.

The Delta variant is more contagious, but has not demonstrated vaccine escape behavior against Pfizer and Moderna [1], and although efficacy was shown to be reduced by mutations in trials, both vaccines still successfully result in complete neutralization in of the virus by antibodies in test titres (in brief: you vaccinate people, then draw their blood and expose the antibodies to virus in vitro and see whether neutralization is effective - it was).

>I can't remember if the amount was exempted under $108,700

Most unlikely, that's an earned income exemption. So basically salary or say invoices paid for consulting that year when the work was performed while physically on foreign soil (US taxes you 100% for any work done on the seas or in international air space)
How do you know these payments are offset by income taxes?
You didn’t hear it at all? Why do you call it a drone, because it had the typical four struts of a commercial drone? What color was it? How many feet above the ground would you say it was? Did it maneuver at all to avoid buildings as it flew?
It's too lighthearted when you're dealing with a pissed customer and is only going to escalate the situation. If you truly want to show empathy and provide good service, I really hope you rethink the approach you take moving forward. In this case "oof" reads like "sux to be u, bye!" and you have several other people confirming that here. Now you can't say you don't know.
The law enforcement you are talking about has no jurisdiction in the regions the hackers operate out of.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. And I can assure you the DOJ & FBI are more than capable of collecting evidence to aid in prosecution. The problem is the criminals often located in jurisdictions that “look the other way” with respect to cyber crimes committed against companies and people in other countries. So prosecuting the criminals is a whole lot of paperwork for a whole lot of nothing to happen. It’s not as though Russia or North Korea are going to extradite their own citizens to the US to stand trial.

One possible solution to such problems is to prohibit paying ransom by law. Hackers can still be destructive, but at least they will have less incentive to participate in such activities.

I fucking hate the excuses that people who work in agile/scrum give. It's called agile development but sorry I can't fix your issue until a story is created and groomed then sized then we might put it into a Sprint and work on it and then maybe we will put it into a release.

"We have a large backlog". How about you take it out of the backlog and work on fixing it or explain to me why it's complicated so I can empathize

Hi, Ivan here. I am the CEO of Notion.

I'm really, really sorry about this experience!

Our in-product export feature exports to a single file, and for very large workspaces this doesn't scale very well. (I know this is not an excuse for this experience. We'll do better and prioritize fixing this!)

Could you email me at ivan at makenotion.com? We'll work to fix this for you immediately.

Apologies, and really appreciate you for understanding!

Ivan
Downvoted but correct. The oil pipeline was a matter of nation security though (a decent chunk of the northeast was effected) but you’re right within a week or two the government seized BTC accounts.
Ultimately the solution is probably to begin to firewall off parts of the Internet by national boundaries. We should allow cross-country traffic where countries follow the same rules of order as we do.

You can remove a lot of threats by just blocking every country you have no desire to reach people in. And if major hosting and cloud providers were restricted similarly such that foreign actors can't just rent US servers to stage attacks from...

I'm aware this is an unpopular opinion amongst tech crowds, but it's impossible to maintain order in an environment where some people have to obey the law and some people don't.
There are “cups” and there are mugs and tumblers. One mug from Starbucks is equal to three cups from my coffee maker.

Five “cups” fit in a large yeti tumbler. At least, those are the cups as bathed on my coffee maker. Not sure if it’s an international standard.
There is no person on the other end. There is a program, so definitely a drone, maybe wrote by offshored developers maybe not, definitely overworked or they'll have the time to fix the bug or implement the feature instead of replacing it with a message.

A person doing the export manually would be OK as a workaround and instead all they have is that message. That's not OK.
Don't try to be funny in your docs. If you want to convey information, make it clean, precise, and to the point. Do not assume and do not distract.

Please.

P.S. Jokes are not totally forbidden, but they should be more subtle and not so intrusive as "You are asking me a question, but here I'll give you a performance instead of an answer".
In case the GitHub Issues team is still looking here, I have a request! Can you put the name of the commenter somewhere besides just the name field in the email from? Currently it's something like, Poster Name <notifications.github.com>, but that means you can't tell who the poster was from the email content itself.

I use Apple Mail and have a contact for GitHub since that provides benefits like an avatar, easier search, etc, but now the contact clobbers the name field and I just see every email from "GitHub" with zero indication who wrote the comment.
Sure, but he also refused to pay his taxes while being a US citizen and on money he earned in the US. And did so not from a place of disputing the validity of the tax bill, but simply refusing to pay the legally issued tax bill because he didn't want to.

If US citizenship has a whole lot of advantages that mean you want to keep it, then the price is perfectly clear up front: you are bound to the US tax code.
I take it you haven't worked in support before. It's just a support rep trying to defuse some tension, there is basically nothing they can do except escalate and provide work arounds. Management should be the ones that you get angry at. Getting angry at the front line reps does nothing except to make some poor guy or girl more stressed.
You got a source for this?

Ancient people fell in love with food that lasted for long periods of time because there was no refrigeration (unless you were Inuit).

Drying, smoking, fermenting, salting, pickling, etc. And, adding honey (for sugar).
Another option is to add a 900% tax on ransom payments, owed by the payer. It would either lower the price of ransoms or get less of them paid. I don't know why that would be better than prohibition, but it would be funnier.
I never said we couldn't ask. I said it wouldn't be accurate to use their answers to project onto current young people. And just because it might be unfalsifiable doesn't mean it would be any less true.

Only if @bertdc is an EU resident. The company is a US company, so GDPR does not apply to US customers. And even if @bertdc was in the EU, applicability can still hinge on whether the company “profiles” customer behavior and/or advertises specifically to EU residents.

Also GDPR can’t compel a company to not write bugs. If they’re legitimately trying to fix it - and they might be - then they might not be out of compliance were the GDPR to be applicable. Threatening legal action might have the unintended consequence of slowing things down rather than fixing anything.

The way I understood the myth is that history tends to distill what were at the time collective achievements, and gradually ascribe them to one or two deified figureheads. It's not to say that those individuals were not geniuses, simply that as time passes, the context surrounding their discovery is naturally lost and then mysticized as some singular "eureka" moment instead of the more likely and relatable long progression of constructive concepts.

All: I realize that stories like this evoke a "wow you like beer and carbs too no way we should hang out" reaction, or equivalents, but please don't let that carry you into HN comments.
