Worse than that: they made a request on Reddit and a few other places, 40 people responded, and 1 was using it.

It applies to all data, no matter how it was collected, including manually and for employees, with some minor exceptions for small companies.

Although your points have merit, I don’t think they’re relevant to this specific situation. This is a limited-run vehicle specifically for the purpose of providing a driverless taxi service. If we look at Waymo’s competing service in Arizon

That's an unnecessarily cynical generalization. Sure, maybe the leaders of the companies creating these things are profit-motivated, but is that really true of the individual engineers and designers who created it?

The article raises a good point, but in a hamfisted and clickbaity way. The underlying story is that there is no story: the author recorded a sensitive conversation and sent it to Otter. Otter sent him a survey in response and referenced th

I’m usually a fan of Rachel’s writing, but this one just sounds like normal unfamiliarity with a language ecosystem. Yes, Node.js programs have a lot of dependencies. That’s how the ecosystem works. Code is shipped as source and there’s a c

Pocket only appears on the new tab screen. That's not a pop-up. Colorways did have a pop-up, but it was an announcement of a new feature, not an ad, and didn't repeat. I haven't seen the pop in new tab behavior you're ta

I use Firefox as a daily driver and I've never seen a pop-up ad from Mozilla. Are you fantasizing about what you imagine might happen, or what has actually happened? If the latter, please provide some evidence.

That was a sweet and fluffy read. I’m glad I ran across it.

You’re not selling a service. You’re selling your time. When you take a job as a full-time employee, you’re agreeing to trade 40-ish hours a week for a yearly salary. If want a job where you’re taking money in exchange for meeting specific

Incredibly unethical in my opinion. Selfish, too—it poisons the well for other remote workers, who will now have to deal with the intrusive tracking and lack of trust this behavior engenders.

The GDPR is an excellent law and has nothing to do with the cookie warnings you see. I’m speaking as someone who read it carefully for implementing compliance in a small business.

What you're missing is that it isn't reasonable to expect people to be paying enough attention to "quickly take over."

I don’t think it’s accurate to say they’ve let TM languish. They recently did a big update that allows it to work on AFPS-formatted drives that takes advantage of AFPS snapshots. And prior to that, changes to take advantage of AFPS snapshot

The base game heavily and explicitly results in creating an environmental wasteland. You can choose to be more environmentally-friendly—I did a playthrough like that—but the only benefit is fewer attacks by the natives, which isn’t much of

Yes, his premise seemed off to me, too, but I *didn’t think about it deeply. Regarding “construction management,” that may not be the right term. “Construction financing and oversight,” maybe. This is what he says in the article: > For t

The article is basically a rah-rah piece for working in the trades (electrician, general laborer, etc.). It complains that the author’s fellow millennials went for college education and white collar jobs rather than blue collar, and now the

I think it's more likely that this is an abuse-prevention scheme rather than a censorship scheme. If so, "what's up" is that the Internet is full of assholes, and preventing assholes from wasting your money and ruining t

The short version is that it's perfectly fine. This doesn't modify the HTTP spec, and it uses established extension mechanisms. The long version: RFC 7231 defines the standard HTTP methods in section 4.1. [1] Looking at it, the on

The browser address bar performs GET requests, so I think the answer is "you can't bookmark or share QUERY requests," same as with POST requests. However, just as with POST requests, it might make sense for the server to resp

I was at Lloyd Center on a Friday night recently. At 7:00 the place was dead, other than the skating rink. The food court was shutting down. If that’s what it’s like during what should be prime time for a mall, no wonder it’s shutting down.

This sort of evidence-free conspiracy-theory cynicism is common these days. I don't think it's helpful.

The main channel was the “Recorded Live” series, which was basically livecoding with me thinking out loud. That didn’t require any real prep, as I had enough experience with a previous livecoding show that it came out pretty well. The main

It happened very gradually over the course of the show’s 6-year run. (Started 2012, last video 2018.) As for why, I’m not entirely sure, but I think that part of it was that people are more interested in tutorial videos about the latest too

I’ve coined the term “microlith,” but I’m probably not the only one and it may not be what you’re thinking of. I wrote about it in the new edition of my book, and also discussed it here: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/pr

Each video has a comments section, and some of the early videos did get the types of comments you're talking about. I put the answer on the comment page and (in some cases) updated the videos. But I updated the README in the repo and i
