Rewarding in ways, but mostly just overwhelming and depressing. Seeing it IRL really puts things in perspective.

Interesting to see all the hate in the comments. I don't really know much about WU except for what I experienced when I volunteered at a refugee camp on lesvos. Western Union was a lifeline for many people. It was very common for peopl

I love AMP as a user. So many sites have brutal load time and jumpy pages, popups and sometimes crashes. As a developer I'm not a fan. It's another thing to manage and maintain. And the last time I checked once you can't leav

>By placing vehicles on a stabilized electric sled, the diameter can be reduced to less than 14 feet. Interesting. No chance of large commerical vehicles in tunnels at that size.

Am I crazy or is their surprisingly little quantitative data? Are we talking a 5% effect or 80%?

I'm not sure how we can square, "we are neutral", "we are optimizing for impact", "our goal is to create conflict within the government". >WikiLeaks just publishes with minimal editing - any narrative f

I have no problem with them optimizing for impact. But they refuse to admit that is what they are doing. It disingenuous at the very least. It's not "mistake" if PII is revealed in every single release. It is incompetence or

Wikileaks has a terrible record on vetting releases and be "truly transparent". See the timing of the dnc and podesta emails... There were social security #'s in those releases. They try and play both sides of the fence: -we

This hits close to home. I worked on a music blog and we got thousands of bogus DMCA takedowns. You basically have zero recourse from the SEO punishment.

+1 on this. I had taken catia classes in college and have built a number of models in different programs for 3d printing. But building models for games is WAY more difficult. a AAA level gun can take weeks to build and model.

I think they have been trying to push people in that direction. They penalize you for having slow load times and too small of touch zones among a variety of other ux factors. But the progress has been slow.

I'm with you. Its objectively a move in the right direction. is it far enough? maybe not. Seems shitty to chastise a company for moving toward better privacy and transparency while listening to customer feedback. Seems like "a dam

Keystone.js Its basically a node/express app with a nice backend. I really enjoy it, incredibly flexible. I've even used it without a front end as internal CRM.

I think you'd be surprised to hear that a lot of these emails aren't automated. Templatized definitely. automated, maybe. Fortune 500 companies employee fleets of just out of college marketing majors to do just this sort of thing.

There is a ton of information that is objectively wrong. "A customer who has already made a purchase may be bombarded with redundant repeat ads wherever he roams: what we might call the phenomenon of “repetitive irrelevance." Its
