To my understanding, a huge portion of NYT works on algorithms. "Not enough hits on the news? Probably others don't either, so no need to put on front page" kinda scenario. Which, I kinda understand. The other news are more..

You care about software freedom, I do, but end users? Not really. When you’re in business of trying to increase your revenue, largely focusing on theoretical-ethical issues while your competition doesn’t will just drive you out of business.

If we add another metric into our decision-making - the percentage of users that have already downloaded the app and stagnating user growth (realistically, it has slowed down since most of people have already either ordered a take out or de

Unlike HN users, supermajority of population is perfectly fine downloading and using an app. I would even say, opening a browser, going to a website, potentially logging in is more friction than “sliding down and typing doordash to open the

In Canada, everything seems to be fine despite it being legal for a few year now? People who smoked up, still smoke, people who didn’t still don’t. Really depends on culture and how things are being legalized, obviously. I don’t think any r

Basically replies of subscribers get pushed to the top, so if you do a quick scroll you’ll see as if everyone is subscribed. If you expand, you’ll see everyone else.

You can already do the former by using GitHub Events API. This simply helps with the accidental leak of tokens into the public, so Tencent / Repo owner can revoke it before it gets abused. https://docs.github.com/en&#x

It’s just a bit funny how “absolutely no censorship” turns into “lol k only censorship that I like”. Somehow quite a lot of people who were “free speech absolutists” playing mental gymnastics to explain why THIS type is acceptable. Disclaim

They’re probably hidden in Chinese TikTok, but I’ve seen a lot of Shanghai protests on TikTok since like mid November. You’re definitely right though, I recall I had to search for it myself before algo started showing it to me automatically

Biggest problem that my friends in marketing/sales explained to me - if there’s no proper conversion from ads to sales, huge problem with bots AND negative targeted ads, then it’s not worth it. Honestly, I have close to 0 knowledge in

Weird part about it, it really depends. The last time I checked, my TikTok feed was just full of funny small videos filmed by random people doing stupid trends outside. Nothing about their lives exactly attracts me. However, the fact that a

What’s your point? It’s an organizational failure for over-hiring and/or not having enough work, not the employees fault. Good for them for making the money with minimal effort.

Fun part is its deduction of locale by looking at your number/sim card. I usually get an eSIM while travelling, and the company seems to be based in Netherlands. Was in Mexico last time, and was getting a constant stream of content fro

Weirdly, the best course of action that a lot of people are realizing is to just lay low for a couple of weeks until there’s a new boogeyman. Whether the cancellation is coming from the left or right side, if you don’t participate in it, yo

I agree with the general sentiment, but once you start calling in conscripts and mobilizing the population, it’s assumed you’re taking the war seriously.

Let’s say you’re a business owner, don’t have many technical skills, and want to change opening hours for a given day (e.g. public holiday). You’ll have to go at least 5 extra steps that require you to achieve that, than just pulling up you

Everyone has their own priorities in life, so people who have “wasted their younger years” might have been happy during that time. From my years of meeting random people, I’ve been more fascinated with people who took a lot of time offs and

A bit late to the discussion, but I have a couple of twitter accounts. One fairly well curated, the other one… not so well. Browsing my feed on the first one is actually fun! No spam, no bots. Given most of the people I follow aren’t big ho

I totally agree! But personally, I prefer taking the bus/subway over biking when it’s cold. “Why should I wear two layers and a scarf when the bus stop is in front of my apartment building” would be the question I ask myself. I get to

I don't drive, and get around on my bike or public transport in general. However, while arguing about "how it's possible to bike in winter with proper infrastructure" my friends pointed out the important portion of cars

It’s a bit over-optimizing for every aspect of life. I’ve been WFH for the past 2.5 years, but I didn’t mind my 20 minute commute on subway before. My previous employers were completely fine for us to work from home (bad weather, repairs, o

In one of my previous workplaces, my coworker and I used to exchange very… NSFW language while debugging certain bugs. It was all in good spirit and humour, everyone knew that’s how we communicate with each other, and it helped to alleviate

Let’s not compare someone’s political/cultural stance to their choice of phones. One is fairly inconsequential, the other one directly affects others’ lives.

Honestly? Most people (including me) don’t care. I’ve had variety of iOS and Android devices, and something that affects only 1% of the users of either side is basically noise to me. Currently using an iPhone because it integrates really we
