How else do you give a sufficient deterrent if the fine doesn’t hurt and make you reconsider future actions? A couple hundred dollar fine is not a deterrent to me speeding in my car, but multiple thousands of dollars would be. You can absol

Absolutely terrible. Like you said, totally unreliable. Scaling it is insanely difficult. Documentation is weak. Their APIs seem like an afterthought and performance was pretty bad. Nagios is not great, but it’s reliable and when it breaks

Also realized about every single concert venue here uses AXS and their miserable app. It’s so bad it almost makes me want Ticketmaster back. The app is so, so bad.

I’ve also worked most of my life in 100% remote companies. I also find this fixation on work being a social experience to be quite odd. I go to work to work. I have made many friends working remotely but it happened organically. But some of

This is a very bizarre conclusion to me. But I suppose I’m one of those people that goes to work, to work, not for a fraternity experience. I want to (and am) friendly with my co-workers but I don’t really want to be their friends, or have

We ran Jenkins in-house and it was a miserable experience. Always breaking. Any time we needed to update it we knew it was going to break, and it did. Debugging startup failures was always a pain if you had a moderately complex setup. There

And likely because the full-time jobs pay terribly so they do gig stuff to supplement / make ends meet. And it’s something they can do flexibly around their full-time work schedule.

Nobody is actually saying we are going to eradicate these ideas completely. Seems like a lot of comments here don’t want to do anything because it won’t completely eliminate the idea. I don’t expect these ideas will ever be eradicated but m

I’ve had two MBPs fail on the keyboard issue. One that I’ve already had repaired is having the issue again. I do like the typing feel on these keyboards, but they should toss this design given the poor reliability. Every single person I kno

I fully support the mission, but I would recommend making the post responsive for mobile devices. Opening this on iPhone is zoomed up in an area of a page with no text. A big reason Facebook/Insta has been successful is because it “jus

I think you’ll find a lot of people that like the way the keys feel and travel — like me — but are really tired of not having a reliable machine. I’ve had to take multiple different machines in for repair. And each time I have to tell them

The 8K support definitely seems bizarre considering 4K seems barely supported properly in even most PS4 games. Or if it is supported, you have to play the game in 30fps instead of 60fps @1080. 4K gaming on PC, even with decent hardware, is

It’s semantics really. Yes, Twitter can stick their neck out and ignore it, but it almost never happens. The end result is that Twitter understandably doesn’t want to have their legal team review every single DMCA request for validity. The

I’ve never heard that. Just because the content is hosted on Twitter does not mean it’s up to Twitter. It’s up to the target of the complaint to pursue a lawsuit against the complaining party. I’m not a lawyer but I dealt with this a lot as

Only if the target wants to pursue a lawsuit, which is obviously very costly. There is no built-in protection and I’ve never seen our government pursue abuse of the DMCA. It’s a grey area, too. The penalties if I remember only apply for kno

It doesn’t work for me. I still get channels I never want to see constantly coming up everywhere. It’s quite annoying because I’m trying to help actively train my preferences and it’s as if YouTube will not let me participate in that.

Agreed. There is just zero reason to care about it and that lack of care only diminishes as more and more companies are compromised so it becomes normal and consumers really have no choice to take their business elsewhere. The only way this

I completely agree, but I don't think that means we should ignore or withhold criticism when a company like Slack has immense power over how other companies operate. We should be scrutinizing the decisions they make because it does aff

It’s not that easy. Nobody is talking about app settings here. It’s about how companies essentially delegate communication preferences and etiquette to Slack without much discussion.

I agree Slack can be used effectively, but I don’t think its design encourages it. It encourages massive distraction — more active user time — by its default client and organization level settings. Nor do I think this is as simple as “you c

This is disgusting. I work remotely so I know what is lost even over video conferencing. I have no issue if this allows more face time between physical visits, but to block physical visits entirely I would say is downright cruel and unusual

Same here. Airbnb’s response to this problem is still completely insufficient. They have lost my trust. And I used to prefer Airbnb over hotels.

Yep I’m definitely considering others, not only myself, as best as I can. But I don’t see these things being attractive to even non-technical users. Or not enough of reasons to keep them on the Apple ecosystem. It seems like basically up-se

You really think that? Why do we even have domain names then? Why don't we tell everyone to remember IP addresses?
