Why not use an ad blocker? There's no incentive for them to fix it.

I would love to see their wording as well.

Are there examples of genuinely innovative or good startups that have follow this pattern?

I volunteered at a music festival once that had a large recycling program. We piled all the trash into large piles but weren't given instructions on what to do with the recycling. In the end, time was tight. They told us to mix it all

Interesting that Red Bull didn't respond to his request for sponsorship. He said himself that he doesn't fit the mold (no self promotion, plays piano, no other extreme sports), but that seems like it might be a great strength, to

Is that a problem though? HN covers a very broad spectrum yet it still functions. Keeping it broad by allowing any topic but raising the bar to require a peer reviewed paper might even decrease the velocity of conversation, allowing better

So much omitted information. I would love if they had said where the money went (they said they made _3_ apps, but what amount of money was it) to see maybe where they could've tweaked expenditures. I would also love to see where the m

I mean specifically for a production outage fix. For planned changes, most of the companies I've worked at have similar release processes

This sounds logical, though my brain has always stored Curie as just like a Davinci divided by 2. They're right next two each other in the sandbox drop-down, it _feels_ swappable, in an innocuous way, or at least it did to me until thi

I meant drastic for their use case. They put all this work into a piece of software specifically for streaming and it gets banned from the streaming platform. Definitely not life altering or a safety issue, but worst case for them, and I ca

I've only been through a couple production outages, but at those companies, usually we'd get things patched and ask questions later. I could definitely imagine switching to another model that is made to sound like a smaller versio

In my mind, if I look at a drop-down and "model D" is down but "model C" is up and I need the API running NOW, I'm going to change the option to the one that's working. That being said, every company I've

Getting banned feels pretty drastic, especially for the amount of time they put into this project to just have it wiped from Twitch. But perhaps it's not a perma ban? And Twitch's rules only seem as arcane as YouTube and Facebook

A seemingly innocuous engineering change led to some drastic consequences. Imagine the other more critical production applications who have made the same reasonable engineering decision.

I think this is intentional. Those videos for me (unrelated videos to my search) are usually recommended videos and it feels like they are placed there to get you to engage. When I use search on NewPipe, I get _much_ better results, and tho

Tbh, Christmas was a heads down, stressful time for me. I'm wondering if the opposite might actually be true of dev teams around Christmas? But thanks! I'll have to get my friend to play again. Looking forward to it

Oh I played this! I bought it to play with a friend over Discord and we had a real fun time, it was sort of the perfect niche (for us) Personally I wish there were more of these. Having the one was nice but it's hard to play with anoth

The discord was originally the ADSBExchange discord, but, I believe a mod has taken control, banned the person who owned/sold ADSBExchange (Dan Streufert) and made a bunch of announcements. The mod used to have Outlook email access on

Interestingly, ADS-B Exchange's twitter is suspended when I looked to see if there was any news updates there

Does it make sense if your business is technology? Feels like Google apps are more and more buggy, they'll stagnate if they can't make quality software people want to use.

To point 3, a friend of mine uses one of his client's addresses (with consent) as his GMB location. I'm assuming anyone who knows property owners would easily be able to convince most of them for a small monthly fee to use their a

The video calls must be new. When I first made a Google My Business profile, there was no verification. Not even address verification. And then I couldn't get the listing delisted from Google either (my friend made a prank listing). At

That's not how he's suggesting it would work. All checks would normally be applied to build a "how human are you" or "humanness" score. He's suggesting a pwned email test and arguing it would be a good sig

Yeah, I just got paid with one the other week. It was the easiest way to take money when the person has no tech savvy (and can't figure out how to send an ACH)

Wow! So really just a large mesh network of phone communication then, and you could make some real money _just_ by scraping together a steady, repeating, geographically connected schedule. Sounds a lot more human too. Interesting!

If they were using telephones, then there were people operating call-in centers for this pool of owner operators? If this was pre-90s, probably not even cell phones but, pay phones/physical phones? And if personal/professional con
