I’ve had a lot of good interviews. Most have gone something like this: phone conversation just to make sure I understand the job and they understand a little of my history, phone screen with basic technical questions, in person interview w

Sure. So I go to cancel my account. Not unhappy with the service, just trying to save some money. Recurring subscriptions start to add up. No cancel button. Read the online documentation. To cancel you have to delete all your computers from

I used Backblaze for a few years. Not a bad service, but the dark patterns around cancelling were really sketchy. Turned me off to the company. Avoid them if you can. Anyone willing to use UI tricks to keep you as as customer can’t be trust

The UK has 500+ confirmed cases. It’s safe to assume the virus is widespread in the population. You’ll have the same numbers as Italy in a few weeks. There is no way to avoid that outcome.

Low end estimates for mortality rate of covid-19 are ten times higher than regular flu. So either: You didn’t actually look Or you looked and came to the conclusion that an order of magnitude higher mortality rate was not significant. So wh

Does it concern you that so few people in this thread (your peers within the industry) share your trust n Facebook to honor their privacy agreements? There is ample evidence they have not honored those agreements in the past. How do we tru

Its a book for tween boys. You’re not missing anything. It’s cool to read children’s literature as an adult. Less cool if you think it’s literature’s final form.

You’re paid by the hour and getting time and a half, right? If not you are devaluing the labor pool for your coworkers. They make less money because of you. Maybe you think worldwide income inequality hasn’t grown large enough and it’s your

This is my experience on irc today as well. It’s dead. I used to keep a few channels open at work all day long in 2007. #j2me, #java, #c. The conversation was active with no more than a few minutes of silence at a time. People would say goo

They’re spying on you. Since you already give them access to your location, they can use that to find other devices around, pinpoint your location with even more accuracy, and spy on your friends. Contacts and camera permissions irk me as w

Here we are with a handful of cars driving around in the least regulated state in the US. From Theranos to Uber, if you want to test unproven technology on private citizens, Arizona is the place to be. Google can’t even roll out fiber to a

I’m an iPhone user. Haven’t had a case on any phone I’ve ever used. So far just one cracked screen and they aren’t that expensive to repair. My son cracks the screen of his phone every six weeks or so. Expensive cases haven’t made any diffe

It might be a difficult problem to solve, but there’s no evidence that Facebook is working on it or that they ever intended to work on it. The easiest explanation is that Zuckerberg was lying. We could give him the benefit of the doubt but

Their justification for spying on these people is that they believe they need to spy on these people. It’s cool that they’re not just picking people at random, but they are engaging in a level of electronic surveillance that would require a
