It is just asymmetry of power. We all would condemn someone who was stealing from poor(relatively speaking), while stealing from rich isn't frowned upon that much. This is nothing new, nothing related to Amazon itself. Just part of hum

Plaintext vs diagrams or videos vary greatly by person. I for example cannot stand videos at all when it comes to learning - it is either too drawn out, or too distracting - and i actually prefer plaintext. On the other hand i have few frie

>The real reason Google's still on top is that consumer habits are hard to change, and once people have 20 years of practice solving a problem one way, most of them are not going to switch unless the alternative isn't just bett

You would get usb-C bootleg cables with missing features. Instead of having USB-C branding on them, they'll have generic 'works with any modern phone!' etc. I mean cable with all the features is damn expensive if you compare

I would rather say that it is a management problem. Focus shifted from building userbase and sustaining business to milking ad revenue.

Oh god, JS version of gmail is unusable on firefox. Takes minutes(!) to load(multiple powerful machines - i7 3770k, i5 6th gen and i7 7700, tested on fresh OS installs of both Win10 and Ubuntu) - it fakes loaded status usually by displaying

one of my first 'real' programming tasks involved replacing excel sheet with simple application. Bcause excel sheet was doing a lookup in HUGE(i am talking about few million rows of raw data) dataset - basically a fulltext search

I just hate one single thing about Excel - all function names are localized - and in case of my native language - they are horrible and inconsistent.

they can write whatever they want when asking user to 'waive' GDPR rights. That isn't legally binding at all.

I expect minimal value of N to be either sky high, or decent..with plenty of exceptions written in ToS so that it dosen't do anything - just like most 'out out' forms in other sites that always 'fail' to deliver you

I am a fan of GDPR to be honest. Banning will hinder them, but it is just case by case band-aid solution. Risk of huge fine that can put you out of business seems more logical.

They probably are using drone/car/vehicle to capture the imaginery - at least that's the only reason i can think of - i used to do that back at the university. We recorded a video from a drone, split it into frames, and built

Remember what happened with GPDR. There was also a two year period to adapt. Everyone scrambled to do it in last week, or last few days. there could be plenty of reasons: it didn't bring them expected revenue, that team was allocated s

Absolutely nothing. Because i still need to buy a micro HDMI cable :) The plan is to setup a piHole, make a SMB share on usb HDD, and if it has enough juice left - connect it to TV and setup it with some streaming services. I would love to

Judging by teacher's earnings.. they are probably very badly selected and trained.

why would anyone sell their company for lowest possible price?

by Xelbair 7y ago
Clearly not, because i do not use social media, and i see no point in instagram either - because those platforms offer nothing of value to my life - other than being a platform for harvesting tons of personal data, so they can sell targeted

Sadly it is not about how much manufacturing and research costs. But about how much they can profit from it.

Watch out, depending on the country - recording might be legal , but publishing without consent usually isn't.

I really liked the approach the Dead Cells developers took. They handcrafted tiles, out of which a metroidvania style levels were generated. It consisted of a random graph generation(with constraints), and fitting the handcrafted elements t

are there transcripts with references(images, etc) available? I prefer reading, so much more, than watching a video - plus it takes way less time, and lets me focus better.

Guids instead of numbers should suffice as quick and dirty fix :)

I completly disagree. When you are owning a house or apartment - each payment of mortgage builds your own equity. This is not the case with renting, plus when you actually own it and have to move - you can also rent it. Also, rent over here

They are a business. Their only goal is the make money - by definition. It is not that people assume that they are evil - just that they will follow on things that will earn them money.

Probably on stacks of money. In capitalism system everything is equated to money: ethics, success, self-worth. To be exact, it is tied to short term earnings.
