I really wish people who downvoted this would explain. Like it or not, the first amendment does not apply to private companies. This conversation is not about what's fair, it's about the actual state of things. Shouldn't you

I'm genuinely interested in learning more about the problems that midnight-GMT-as-date-only can lead to. It's used on a project I currently work on. Do you have a link or can you spare a few minutes to explain?

Hey Mike, did you ever make good on that bet that you lost by stubbornly claiming that COVID was just a bad flu and it was never going to kill millions and fill hospitals, when the world was already burning? I'm going to go on the limb

I can only speculate they must've concluded that their bottom line is better served by cheerleading 45% of the population than constantly disappointing 90% of the population. TL;DR; it's more profitable. Also, lack of regulation.

Haha, like I said - to each their own. To be honest I'm starting to miss winter a little bit too.

I'm pretty sure it was buried intentionally by an admin. I watched in disbelief while older submissions with far fewer votes (thus less popular) and similar number of comments (no more or less contentious) made it to the front page at

> Interesting. Can you see the story that you submitted yourself? When I look at your list of submitted stories, the last entry there is from 3 months ago. It won't show up there if it was already submitted by someone else.

So weird to see this post buried even though it was submitted 28 times in the last couple of hours. Is this considered too controversial or contentious?

I've had Be My Eyes installed on my phone for years but I never had the courage to answer a call. Part of it is that English is my second language, but fear of exposing someone to danger was even bigger. This situation sounds like the

I wonder how much of this is actually determined by the organization size and business complexity rather than the company pedigree. In my experience, things like autonomy, decision making, understanding the business, and communication style

I think immortal is the wrong word here. All organisms die. If it's not aging, then decease and predators will do it.

Apple's net profit margin is around 23% including hardware and everything else they do. Their app store margins are dramatically higher, possibly as much as 90%. A gallery's 40-50% commission translates to 0-50% margin after expen

A gallery offers prime-time, often times exclusive, exposure. It puts your work in front of a small, but exclusive, group of high-quality prospects and commands their undivided attention. Apple does no such thing. It offers no exposure in r

I would add one more general security tip. Always restrict your mapped ports to localhost (as in 127.0.0.1:3306:3306) unless you really want to expose it to the world. I think it's counterintuitive, but I learned the hard way that 3306
