Amazon won't see it that way. If not now, then when you get big.

Exactly this. You have to have some level of trust. That trust should have a pretty high barrier, though. FOR ME, one of the biggest things I look at is motivation. This often means looking at business models. We've seen where the race

I know of several homes where more than one Netflix stream is common, then throw in a Twitch/YouTube stream on top of that. Realistically, you don't always see speeds at what you pay for (especially during peak hours). At least I

They should have put "you don't have a REAL choice to get another ISP". 10Mbps would not be enough for me nor most of my (even non-technical) family members. Beyond that, the ones that do offer faster speeds have a cap that I

You're probably correct in how it will turn out, but laws can change. One precedent does not mean nothing will ever break it. It does make it harder, though.

Isn't having to go to RPM Fusion for a package effectively the same as having to go to the AUR?

There are more benefits to be had than time for a browser to render an image.

I don't see how that goes against what I said. Those three main benefits apply to anything hosted on CDNs.

I think the issue is less about philosophy and more about technology. SVG icons are better than icon fonts in pretty much every way. The only example I can think of where an SVG could be considered worse is if the icon is particularly compl

This doesn't take the user's connection into account. The user could have a really slow connection (think 3G mobile or worse). Any amount of caching helps tremendously here. Also, caching and fat pipes are just two benefits of CDN

3 C's: cost, convenience, and complexity. First, price. I think this is the biggest factor. You need a computer (for each TV). I don't think there are too many computers (if any) in the $35-$150 range that can handle smoothly play

Assuming the connection is reliable, I'd pay double the price for half the speed if it meant I got to call Spectrum and tell them where to put their plan.

This was my first thought, as well. I use Dash several times a day. It has been indispensable for me. There are a few main things that will probably keep me on Dash, for the time being. In no particular order: 1. Global shortcut - Being abl

Sure, anything taken to an extreme is bad. I wasn't suggesting to do that. I think if there is a sensible use-case for parallel computing in JS, it would be good to have. However, trying to make a solution before we have a (clear) prob

Because JS isn't good at everything just like C++ and Rust aren't good at everything. Right tool for the job.

I think git-the-tool (i.e. the CLI tool) makes sense to be decentralized as it's at the core. If that tool were built around the idea of a central repository (like SVN), then you cannot escape that centralization (without using what ar

I don't see how any of these reasons are why npm is "fundamentally insecure" any more than any other system involving humans.

I really appreciate the explanation. That is actually super informative. I agree that I misunderstood part of what you were saying. It also sounds like we both agree that the notifications ("transactional email", from the sounds o

Unfortunately, there is always something that can (and likely will) go wrong. You will always need a "fail gracefully" option.

Seriously. If you're completely new to vim, fire up vimtutor to learn the basics. From there, just start using it.

Alright, let's ignore the analogy, then. What is the correct functionality for Facebook given this user's settings? I do not agree that it should stop sending notifications. Let's say I _want_ to keep getting notifications vi

As someone who regularly has several browser-based projects open, it's nice having a small part of the window that shows the current progress of the build. I've gone back and forth using a "normal" terminal and using the

I am floored at how eloquently you've put every single one of my thoughts on the matter. Seriously, bravo (and thank you because I will inevitably quote you).

You make a fair point that the OC didn't explicitly declare that they expected the emails to stop. However, if that isn't the basis of their expectation, I don't really understand the rest of their post. Especially "know

Yes, seriously. They made it pretty clear that _their account was still active_. That's why it's "regardless": it doesn't matter for the situation at hand. > when the users wish/intent is clear How is it cle

So which would you recommend for documentation and which would you recommend for price?

by epicide 9y ago
Regardless of account deletion attempts, they knew they had an active account and didn't change any notification settings. They still expected Facebook to magically know to stop sending them notifications. That is weird.

Yep, so unless somebody really thinks it should be greater than 60 days, I think this is a pretty fair setup.
