So, is a manager in this context really needed? I'm in control, I need to make my case towards a new manager and team if I want to move (basically a new interview process), and try to improve on communication and writing even though +8

I don't think that's the issue. The problem is that YouTube/google want "le beurre, l’argent du beurre, et le sourire de la crémière". They want to (and are managing) to distort the openness of the web: they provide

IMO offense is taken, not given. In cases like this the "burden" should be on the party choosing the content they want to see. Everyone should be able to upload a photo of ice on the sidewalk, but the other users should define tha

How has that influenced you? Is it something you remember frequently? Did you make any decisions keeping that in mind? Would you say it had a positive impact in your life, and gave it more meaning? Or would you rather not have been given th

Exactly, and on top of that paying for premium doesn't remove the ads and tracking everywhere google is present. You'll be paying, and _still_ be the product all around the web.

If people use the same email and password to log into other services, then those might get compromised also. By now no one "should" be using the same password for multiple services, but it most likely still happens

Reddit is using the same approach as Apollo: basing their business on a free resource. For Apollo it was the api (for which they were willing to pay if the price was fair) For Reddit is free labour and content, which they still want for fre

Not everyone knows about alternatives to streaming. For the daily 10000 (xkcd for reference), that's all they know. It's up to "us" to show them there are alternatives. https://xkcd.com/1053/

I feel this argument is like saying there's no point in developing free and open software because there are already other pieces of software that were adopted, and are de facto standard. In my opinion, this actually promotes the develo

I would argue that they didn't proliferate due to high barriers to entry. I'm sure any "rogue" states that at one point would be ruled by extremists, would invest in those if it would give them a competitive advantage. A

I suppose they do it for themselves, a public statement that reinforces and legitimises their choice. It doesn't contribute or take away anything from society. It makes them happy and doesn't hurt anyone. Let people be :)

NOTAM notices are not only for planes but for other people and equipment using airspace, like drones, skydivers, ... Those are not always connected with ATC, but need the information from NOTAM to plan their activities

I find it very refreshing that a company provides such high-quality software for free, and even creates free guides on how to use it. I started with the free version running on Linux but unfortunately didn't support H.264 (it does on w

What I'm more surprised about is the Human behind the development of these changes. I don't think Twitter is full of Musk's fanboys, so people implementing these changes are still working there because they have bills to pay.

That is the price of dealing with the public, tbf. People are how they are and will always find the path of least resistance to get their problems solved. That doesn't exclude them or anyone from providing support to the services they

I would still argue that no one ran "out of air" in any of those situations. They panicked and/or ignored their training. The thing about diving equipment (especially regulators), is that they fail safe, meaning that they fai

I don't know why you're being down voted, but you're right. A diver doesn't just "run out of air". A diver gets low on gas because they failed to look at their gauges, and/or didn't plan properly. It

Just because the project is moving, doesn't mean it's moving in the right direction. What I like about linux in general, is that there are lots of small tools, with a reduced and specific scope, that do their job well. Systemd see

Even if you did nothing wrong and "have nothing to hide"(TM), knowing where you are can also tell others where you aren't. It gives the possibility to infer patterns from your travels, or can, for instance, give a thief the o

Full remote only (with option to go to the office sporadically) If I commute for 1 hour a day (being optimistic), that's (22*10) almost 10 full days wasted per year. Time is my most valuable asset, and I'd rather waste it doing
