It's pretty depressing how many of the comments are purely answering the title and not discussing the content of the article. In particular, the comments seem mostly focused on consumer product build quality whereas the article is more focused on e.g. businesses trying to outsource something (like same day delivery) and getting a worse result even when they pay more than doing it internally. And the cultural obstacles that make these problems difficult to fix or even sometimes perceive.

I will note that I often wish Dan Luu was a bit less apparently-uniformly-confident in some of the statements he writes. He does back up what he says, but he'll use the same tone for something he's seen anecdotally and something he's spent a month personally investigating.
A lot of these complaints are about the underlying notification system, which is way, way better on iOS than on Mac, and is already what you get if you have app notifications anyway.
That is usually a symptom though, e.g. paying men more on average because they are in more senior positions on average.

Vercel free plan will be deprecated in May 2022
Hi there,

We are deprecating the Vercel Free plan. On May 12, 2022, you will be automatically moved to our Pro Plan.

Our Pro Plan is $20 per user per month, includes up to 1TB of Bandwidth, and supports the ultimate development & collaboration workflow. Of course, you can always change or upgrade plans by contacting us.

Your projects will be transferred to Pro with zero downtime. The only way this change will affect your project is if your application depends on Serverless Functions with timeouts longer than 60 seconds, or is dependent on being deployed to multiple regions—these options are not available for new deployments on the Pro plan.

Keep in mind—you'll receive 1TB of bandwidth, 1TB of function execution, and 5,000 source images included in your plan. Concerned about overages? Learn more about pricing here.

Feel free to reply with any questions or read more about it here.

Happy Developing,
The Vercel Team

Think about a hypothetical strategy to use ground forces - fully avoiding to escalate to a nuclear war - to actually assault baltic NATO countries. You just can't deploy massive russian forces to the NATO's frontier without triggering countermeasures.

But, if you massively deploy troops into Ukraine, simulating it is the target, then you start to pump troops, hardware, infrastructure for the actual invasion, NATO has to operate necessarily under the premise Russia isn't there to attack NATO, then it cannot massively deploy reinforcements to baltic members. They are by any military measure - except nuclear deterrence - undefendant.

Russian generals just have to sustain the maskirovka enough time to build up a sufficiently capable strike force to attack, basically a replay of the first movement against Ukraine. Then they could be in position to attack Poland, unbalancing NATO, triggering a defensive position in this country, then russians could invade the baltic states ("recovering" the whole old Eastern Europe of URSS age),

Then they could just abandon Poland, fastly signing an armistice but retaining the baltic states.

Europe as a whole probably will just sign the accords, in order to prevent a full nuclear escalation.

Game over. NATO has lost.
As a Best Buy part time employee the correct answer is that we don’t sell the newest iPhone models unlocked in stores. Refurbished models are the only iPhones we sell unlocked in our store. Online that’s is a different matter entirely and yes there are some newer models we sell unlocked online but it’s minimal because of fraud.
Consider the Antikythera mechanism, what must have existed to bring it into existence and what has transpired since. We now enjoy the fruits of a period of advancement.

Even if that were true (it’s not - high collateral damage is not the same as not making a distinction), that doesn’t justify us deciding to also treat Russian civilians as military.

I mean some of the comments here, and in the Bugzilla discussions, and in any other discussion you read online. I am not trying to call out any specific comment here, nor the original post, which is barely about Yandex at all.
I think there's more to the story than what's being said. It seems the customer is having trouble and either Google or T-Mobile should be better about handling the issue but I don't think we're receiving the entire story. I have used T-Mobile exclusively for many years now I have used it when they were being resold by harbor mobile. I'm very happy and satisfied with their service but I have moved both my sim and have placed other Sims from other carriers into my phone and I have never once received a message that my phone has been locked to T-Mobile as a carrier.

Edit: so I had given this some more thought and I don't believe that this is Google or T-Mobile that's put the carrier lock on his phone it's something that Apple allows you to do. It's something that users of iPhone devices can enable or disable in their Apple account. Because I've actually gotten iPhones from family members who are tech savvy who verify that it's an unlocked phone but it would not accept my SIM card saying that it was locked to a carrier. What they needed to do to fix it was log into their Apple account and release the carrier lock that allowed the phone to take a new sim. So this is really Apple anti-theft protection that he's got going on.

T-Mobile was one of the first bring your own device companies where they separated service plans from devices payment plans. I hope he gets his problem fixed and updates his medium post to indicate that this really isn't a Google fi or a T-Mobile issue.
I've used it in a container for ages (SlimSocial on F-Droid store). I removed it being listed by my launcher so I have to go through Settings > Apps and scroll that list. It's so annoying to use and get to it that I barely use Facebook anymore.
Ads are just as bad, and Search is little more than Ads these days.

They've outsourced Google Ads "account strategists" to contractors abroad who hound Google's advertisers by any and all contact methods they can find -- not those you've given Google -- to force you onto "account review" phone calls in which they talk you through ways to spend more on Google Ads. Then those ads get reviewed by people that don't have the time or knowledge to apply Google's ad policies properly, so they're constantly deactivating years-old ads for vague and very wrong reasons, until you resubmit the same ad and it's approved again, at least until the next random review.

Google has no core competency any more.
Great article! As a consumer that cares a lot about buying long-lasting quality products, here are a few resources:

Project Farm (youtube.com/projectfarm) - Great independent reviews of tools

Mcmaster.com - Higher quality products than you can get at your local hardware store and excellent customer service. When I've gotten the rare incorrect or damaged item, 1 email gets me a refund and a replacement overnighted.

Wirecutter - Not as go-to as it used to be in my mind, but great for background

ConsumerReports - Check if you can get free access through your local library website

ReviewMeta (reviewmeta.com) - Analyzes Amazon reviews for authenticity

All of these have problems but they are still good resources. Any others I'm missing?
It happens to almost anything creative products, stylish, custom made, and services.

I guess because there isn't enough time and money to assess the quality and optimize them.
No carrier should be able to brick a phone without it being locked to the network. I did some research online, and it seems that the culprit here is actually Best Buy (and Apple) for selling phones as unlocked although they actually aren't: Apple sells iPhones to third parties under a 'US Reseller Flex Policy' [1], which means that they are automatically locked to the first carrier they are activated on.

Nothing on the Best Buy website gives me any indication of this happening. If this is really true, it's deceptive advertisement. I'm not a lawyer, but this looks illegal.

> b) The transition to agriculture (which triggered the technology explosion) took a long period of luck, including groups of people living in a floodplain for a long enough time to breed plants that were suitable for agriculture. Note that this was an extremely rare thing, in that it probably only happened ~4-5 times in human history and spread everywhere else.

The accepted origins of agriculture keep fluctuating, but there's unambiguously at least 8 origins and maybe a dozen. The unambiguous origins are Mesoamerica, South America, Mesopotamia, Indus/Ganges, and China (all of which are also clearly independent origins of civilization), as well as North America, Ethiopia, and Papua New Guinea (which don't clearly form independent origins of civilization, although note word order in that phrase). There's probably more origins as well.

In general, a lot of early civilization development is one of those things that was traditionally understood to be difficult and everyone cribbing off of the one guy who did it (kind of like how the Industrial Revolution is generally though to have happened), but the more people started digging into the research, the more endogenous its evolution appears: independent reinvention of the Neolithic Revolution seems to be the norm, not the exception.
People still try to sell their used crap. So how do you define if something is worth buying used ? For some people everything is worth buying used, even crap
I mean always follow planned route kinda goes counter to the whole point of navigating with Google Maps. Google Maps uses live traffic data and user reports to determine the best route. I don't see why they would add these features and then offer an option to just ignore those features and instead use a fixed route. There are many other apps that offer that. Even just downloading a paper map off Mapquest would accomplish that similar goal.

I think we all know by now Google goes for the simply route that asks the least of a user. Google is well known for not providing much customization and basically forcing you to use it a certain way. And clearly this model works with the popularity they have. I know us powerusers don't always like this kind of thing, but for regular users this is the way that seems to work best.
In the UK I don't recall the public truly believing that Iraq actually had "weapons of mass destruction". The press had been calling the intelligence report the "Dodgy Dossier" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Dossier and I recall wide doubt on the famous phrasing of weapons being "launched within 45 minutes" https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/feb/05/iraq.iraq1 which it turns out referred to... conventional battle munitions like mortars.

It was an absolute shit show of lies that nobody really believed. A million people protested https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February_2003_anti-war_pr...

And still, the war went on as usual.

Even if 90% of Russians protested against the invasion of Ukraine I couldn't be sure it would make a difference.

As it is, most Russians don't even see this as a war, just a continuation of the ongoing Donbass conflict.
Looking like crap says very little about utility.

It’s standard practice to reduce safety margins when build quality increases. If you think in terms of expected lifespan, when the company has little control over how long things last and wants a minimum of say 1 year then some fail at 1 year and some fail after 20. As their process improves the minimum stays the same, but maximum lifespan decreases.
> Giving them housing doesn't mean they also get immunity from criminal laws.

All evidence to the contrary. SF, Seattle, LA… seems like the free housing people are indeed immune to at least petty crime laws.
Another way to look for non crap, is to check the used value of something. E.g. check swappa. If people are still paying a lot for an item after it is used, usually a good sign. If they are not and you still want it, get it used and save a ton.

Another good way, check how much insurance costs. e.g. How much is that extended warranty going to cost on one car vs another. How much is home owners insurance in one neighborhood vs another. Insurance companies that make mistakes here go out of business.

It is public static void main(String args[]) {} (inside a public class with the same name as the file). Alternatively, you could do public static void main(String... args) {}; that would also work, probably because it's compiled down to the same thing in the JVM. (It doesn't work if you have named string arguments before the varargs, so it's unlikely it's meant to work.)

I don't remember any of this. I don't remember that it's int main(int argc, char *argv[]); in C, or fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn ::std::error::Error> {} in Rust, or package main \n func main() {} in Go; I derive it anew each time based on my understanding of the language.

And I wouldn't hire me to write C code, because I can't remember where the `const`s go. All I remember is that you shouldn't really use them here, because you're expected to be able to modify argv (and sometimes you have to, e.g. to redact passwords that somebody foolishly provided on the command line). And I remember that #include <stdio.h> lets you use size_t, but don't ask me why.

Then again, I guess I'm proving your point. I could write fizzbuzz easily in C – perhaps more easily than in any language I'm good at – but that doesn't make me a good person to hire if you want a C programmer.

Beyond Google Fi and T-Mobile, this story has made me suddenly much more apprehensive about picking up SIM cards from some local MVNO when traveling. What’s to stop a local operator from locking my phone and leaving an unpleasant surprise waiting when I get home?

Sounds a bit like my Google Fiber experience (support not being able to do anything). I had a weird problem where my Google Fiber "account" wasn't linked to my real Google account and Google closed that other account (I'm not even sure why) so I literally couldn't pay them, and it took them a long while to figure it out. I essentially had to sign up from scratch and pretend the hardware was transferred to me... from me. Thankfully only a few hours of downtime there.

At least I had my outstanding bill as a small motivator. Google really freaking sucks at customer service.

> It's entirely with regard for justice. That's the goal.

Your ends may be laudable but your means are immoral. The ends do not justify the means.

> You're concerned with conviction of something harmful. The harm they committed was in the other crimes. They should evade punishment for that because they managed to hide it well?

You say they're evading punishment "because they managed to hide it well" but the fact remains that you were never able to prove they actually did anything worthy of being punished for in the first place. Don't you see the obvious error in that? The only thing you actually know is that their financial transactions were not documented to your satisfaction. In effect you're demanding that they prove their innocence, whereas in a just system one is innocent until proven guilty.
My recollection as an average UK member of the public was the news said 'allegations of WMDs' so I thought well maybe, then 'Hans Blix is investigating' so I thought fair enough and then 'UK and US forces have invaded without waiting for Blix'. So yeah not much you could do about it. It's probably similar for the Russian public.

I do give coding exercises in my interviews, but they’re usually more open ended and don’t require understanding tricks. If there’s a DS&A portion it’s usually something I’d expect to be used on the job (e.g. a map or array list, not a BST). I also touch on things like SQL and API design. These things feel like they’re hardly hit on in most tech interviews.
