The first platform to solve this problem by offering a paid product that revenue shares back to the creator will get my $$$ as soon as I find it. I hoped this was what Spotify was up to, but clearly not. Youtube Premium could make an easy p

As per the article, they definitely did call the police beforehand. Clearly the police had taken little, if any, action. It's hidden, but it's there: "my sister had already had a couple of police visits about the previous inc

Actually, also as an Australian: I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that's true in the Northern half* of the country that people think applies everywhere, like crocodiles and jellyfish that kill you. I've lived in SA

It's bad, but I'm not sure it's that bad. In B2B land, loads of contracts have a code-in-escrow clause just in case key people die or the company goes under. One of the key attractions of Open Source is that if the people b

Apologies I'm late to reply to this, but yes. The way each compiler/optimizer handles CTEs can be dramatically different from RDBMS to RDBMS. For this specific use case though, my comment was made because CASE statements tend to j

Fun fact, this can also be more performant, depending on the engine.

The question is, do you blame the monster for being a monster? Or do you blame the people that made them one? There are valid points both ways. IMO I think the idea is that if you can explain the crime then maybe the monster was created by

I love factory games in general but I refunded Captain of Industry almost immediately. It's very well regarded, but it's very early access, and I have a couple more of the major Factorio modpacks to work my way through, which sh

The best way of expressing this was posted in the comments when this issue was raised a couple days ago: the scale enabled by technology means that decisions that would have had to be reasonable before can now be made unreasonable by applyi

There are also plenty of companies based in the bay area that aren't evil? I'm not suggesting they're necessarily good , but they're not evil.

There's nothing quite so "tell me you worked for Accenture without telling me you worked for Accenture" as referring to MBB and Accenture as "Big 4". It's like Deloitte consultants referring to MBBD.

For significant periods of time in the mid-late 00-s to mid 10s, this just isn't true. Firefox's plugin, process and memory management was significantly worse than Chrome until relatively recently. As a result, for memory limited

In case anyone from the Photos team sees this: Photos is the reason I still use a personal Google account, and I pay for Google One. It just works. Everytime I notice a change, it seems like it tangibly benefits me. When I don't no

The two are fundamentally different. Unless you can devise a way to do BYO expense platform, you're comparing B2B to B2C product development, marketing and sales. Do you think the PMs at Concur just woke up one day and decided to be us

I would go so far as to flip it: What kind of lunatic watches someone's earliest content? A lot of these people have been doing this for 10 years at this point. They've learned a lot. Their style has matured. Their production valu

There's a filter for that on the home screen! It's called "new to me", and it shows up sometimes ! Because why would you want something useful like that all the time? Nah much better to just hide it or not show it at al

Here's how it's implemented on the one that's used pretty much everywhere where I live. Option 1: Everyone orders and pays independently. Website takes payment through all the usual options + Apple/Google pay. So long as

This product 100% exists and is nearing ubiquity here in Melbourne, AU: https://www.mryum.com/ . Order + pay through this is also fantastic.

Hard disagree. I love Web menus like these, because it means I don't have wait staff constantly disturbing my conversation. In Australia, a lot of them are rigged up so that - even if I'm paying for the meal on my tab - the person

Right, but if I wanted a notebook I'd buy a notebook. What I want is a tablet for taking notes, which has a different security profile.

I would hesitate before being so quick to say "worse". Robodebt resulted in suicides and primarily targeted the vulnerable. I would suggest that both schemes just be labelled unconscionable.

Would you recommend picking up Vic II as largely a finished (and probably heavily discounted) game with all the DLC, or should I pick up Vic III when it comes out?

Qantas has been able to do Netflix/Youtube/whatever on a plane with free wifi for several years. I'm not talking about onboard entertainment, which is a separate thing with a separate app (which is, on the domestic flights wh

The fact that you know to say that is a good enough qualifier in my mind. Only people who know how to buy know what presales even is.

I would suggest that there's a subtle difference between "progressed past the demo" and "converted". 50% progression past the demo is reasonable. 50% conversion would be amazing.

GP is making the assertion that Airtags are cargo tracking devices powered by a button cell, which this document issued in 2021 (note the document referenced in that thread is from 2017) appears to exempt from those requirements (both from
