I read this as the Google fiber was terrible- many have probably already switched, and entrenched (pardon that) ISPs probably are better. Now, price-- that's another story.

IANAL, but my understanding is everybody has 3 days to back out of of a contract. Maybe it's a local thing, though.

It sounds like the ones that went with Google haven't had a good provider since. Maybe those for whom and ISP is critical have already left?

Yes- the whole thing was an experiment, and it failed. Now they are moving on.

The problem with these Likerts is that they are often an uncalibrated scale, so the subject is interpreting the question as well as the possible responses. They are also used in medical studies of pain, for example. You've seen them-

I think of it on a per-hypothesis or per-theory basis: If a hypothesis or theory is falsifiable, then it is scientific. If not, then it's not.

Are Uber and Lyft doing this too? Should we tip them in cash? I've wondered if that was better for them.

I wonder how important Google Search is to Reddit, though. They are big enough (like Facebook) that they may not need it much anymore, and may have used AMP based on the promise of a better experience (meanwhile deliberately degrading mobi

Weren't they bought by Conde Nast a few years ago? Is that when it started to slide? EDIT: My how time flies. It was bought by CN in 2006!

The website I'm aware of is ne.ws (I knew the guy- a seasoned entrepreneur). I don't know what that website is now- same thing but Asian? Anyway I don't think he's doing it any more.

There has also been at least one attempt at a site that facilitated this: pay the journalist you want to follow. It didn't take.

I recently discovered that inkscape has a "clean svg" output option which is ok for the most part. Kind of a happy medium (but I do simple stuff).

I've used Thunderbird for years- ever since Evolution became unworkable. But evolution was very good too back in its day- more Outlook-y.

And what do you think will happen when they mess up pas.com/signup? Do you think they'll fix that for you? I hope the team at firefox is licking their chops to implement a better and distinguishing alternative.

Agree. And what fun we'll have when Google's ML systems screws up our authentic site's classification. I'm sure they'll jump right up with an apology.

Yep. They need to pay reimburse those workers with a penalty fee tacked on.

Indeed. But the worst thing someone can do is leave a comment like that on Stack Overflow. Invariably, SO shows up at the top of google's search, so later people with the same question will read that and say "duh- that's ho

That's a great idea (of course, you can't let it rot).

There is no naval enemy on earth that is even remotely competitive with the US in any regard. Ship to ship maneuverability and tactics, even? How can you be so sure? Do you think that it's impossible for a US ship to lose a "d
