For what it's worth, this was what happened to me. They regularly send marketing emails and updates, which I skim from time to time. It wasn't until I saw this thread that I realized that one particular email out of the ( actually

My problem with this is the automatic opt in, using my profile and details for more than I intended for them to use it for (regardless of whether I technically signed something staying they _could_ do this, it is borderline unethical to use

And this should have been opt in, not "opt out within a week or else we'll dump your info and association with us onto the internet."

This is horrible, what a breach of trust. I used TB to stealthily interview for jobs, had a good experience. Recommended them to others. Now I see that if I hadn't seen this post, I wouldn't have known about this and those details

The Economist did this to me. $5/mo and then auto renewed at something like $250/yr. All my credit cards are just auto pay full balance every month, and I don't check them as often as I should. Noticed the charge last month,

I don't think they are saying it was, unless I'm misreading. They're talking about standard ECS deploys. Yo add my anecdata, I do lots of ECS deploys via terraform into production and it works pretty seamlessly.

I restart my computer pretty infrequently and everytime I do, I can't connect to various things. Inevitably I realize I didn't run ssh-add and after debugging, things work again once I have run this command. But I never really loo

With Amazon this exact chain of events happened to me. And also confirmed that they don't really give you that status unless you click through the app. In the end, it took five days to get something I ordered as same day delivery.

Geez, this is incredibly callous. These are real people who are losing their livelihoods.

Sure, but when the astronaut application job posting recently came up, I was super excited. I would leave my technical job in a heartbeat to be an astronaut. But, the qualifications specifically needed specific things. Like, iirc, degrees i

No, making something available isn't entrapment.

I thought I had seen this posted here before. Regardless I re-read the entire thing every time it is posted.

This looks pretty cool. When I was learning Go a long time ago, I used a site called Gophercises and found it really helped me understand the language better.

As part of trying to provide benefits one would normally get in the office, we provide unlimited Doordash for lunch/dinner. I would prefer to order from places directly, but the choice is either free for me but I order through DD, or p

Given the time zone difficulties and inefficiencies it brings, I wouldn't consider hiring anyone outside of the time zones that span the Americas. Totally okay hiring someone in Brazil or Peru or whatever, but not France or Eastern Eur

Even just east coast versus west coast kind of sucks and leads to inefficiency if product teams are spread across those timezones. I've done some work with west coast Europe, it's bad, 8am meetings so I can catch them at 4pm, yuck

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, and assuming this isn't just pedantry, especially since you're getting downvotes (because I assume everyone thinks this is just pedantic correction) I looked it up. In the context of "tryi

I usually use Foursquare to find restaurant with a good rating or cuisine I like and to the restaurants page directly from there.

I have. I typically type "representative" until I got a human.

Of course it does. The most basic reason would be that since they take a percentage, door dash would prefer you purchase from a more expensive restaurant. But there are all kinds of other reasons, such as some restaurants spending more on a

No one on the comments so far seems surprised. So, no, I don't think you're the only one not surprised.

It sounds like you may not consider anything python can do to be fast, so I'm thinking the latter.

I do quite a bit for GitHub markdown tables, for making small annotations for ML, for python parsing, etc. Very common and would be annoying too open up excel every time I needed some csv.

There's a pandemic happening right now, so I think they're doing it to track where people go and how things might be spreading. It's really helpful for analysis. I think people are handing info over because it's required

I wrote a longer response, but realized I probably shouldn't spend much time engaging you. I think you might be trolling, but I also think on this forum we should give other commenters the benefit of the doubt. So in case you're b

This is very cool, I have the same concern. Most documents I need to scan like this have my PHI or PII on them and I wouldn't trust uploading to a third party, and especially free, site. What I will add to the conversation is that seei

Completely anecdotally, we were staying in an Airbnb for a week before shifting to a longer term rental. This was right when things were shutting down. Our Airbnb host told us that all their renters were cancelling for all their properties.
