I find Netflix doesn't recommend anything based on my behavior at all anymore. Now literally the first 5 or so rows of content on the home page is a random spattering of "originals". But they definitely do select the title im

All of the creators I follow either do it for free and fun, or some combination of patreon plugs and trinkets you can buy from them. Ads are not the only way for creators to find value in creating. Youtube became a crap platform in the sear

That article was so hard to read. He jumps to so many conclusions without any logical path like the use of TLS will stress the bandwidth of providers, claiming its like "unauthorized taking of the provider's transport network reso

Off topic, your screen shots look pretty but kinda funny: one is advertising TouchID integration on an iPhone X. That said, quick glance at your website and Narmi looks good! Good luck to you, and I hope your product does well but also enco

Since I've been getting support so much lately with a few institutions, I've been asking them questions like that as well. They all serve up that same answer. For me, and I'd guess a lot of other people, I don't care if

Discord has stronger authentication methods than any of the 8 or so financial institutions I have accounts with. All 8+ do their auth quite differently yet they're all broken and they all fall back on SSN. Why hasn't this industry

Only for high value transfers? Interesting that they felt the need in that context but didn't roll it out everywhere.

I hadn't thought of that. Obtrusive ads are bad unless they are our obtrusive ads. I also want to understand what % of ads they'll be blocking are from competitor ad platforms and what % are self impacting vs the same for ads they

"Were people complaining that clicking “yes” on an RSVP email took them to the invitation site? Were they asking to have a video chat window open inside the email with the link? No. No one cares." I don't want this new featur

If you can't beat them, join them? Make ads less annoying and the argument for an adblocker kind of goes down, less people begin using adblockers and more people see ads eventually. I guess that's a win win. Scary that a company w

Your definition of "enjoyed the culture" is from Kotaku anecdotes and at least one of the women interviewed has taken issue with their framing of the story. Really bad comparison on my part in GP but I think my point stands. Just

Removed my comment because I think it was insensitive. The point I am trying to get across is that some people enjoyed working there but that doesn't change that some did not and just because some did doesn't make it a healthy wor

A lot of things about this piece irk me but probably the two biggest ones are 1) the author kind of doxes the PT guy. Yeah he revealed his name on FB but he clearly preferred to keep it anonymous so I think it's wrong to be throwing hi

Can someone explain why FB can't become a paid service that engineers itself for the good of users? I don't know anything about corporate financing but naive napkin math says if their 2 billion user base pays $1/month they wo

I love the Office UI/UX. My only complaint is with cloud integrations it defaults the save dialog to onedrive or whatever, which I never use. But otherwise what problems do you have with it? The breadth of tools/options is incredi

A little OT but I'd like to know what part about getting map info is too difficult to automate. Are they lacking the recordings or what? I'd love to see the maps included in the dataset.

This is a shame for obvious reasons but I don't like the comparison to "god view". Uber designed a UI around accessing PII for their employees to use wanton, Lyft sounds like they need to get their data access under control,

Your point is not at all obvious, you're just saying "they used to be better, now they're spitting in my food gahh"

Ah I guess I meant non-charitable then! I'm pretty clueless on how the money aspect in a non-profit works.

And again, your comment is just anger and not an actual answer of what alternatives there are. What is your point? Do you care to actually answer my curiosity on what business models besides advertising are available to fund the continuing

Anger abound regarding advertising etc but question: what's the alternative for Mozilla to be a viable company without depending on money from advertising either in the form of Pocket and new tab or via search engines paying for defaul

That's a good history and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for being active in the community and for everything that DDG does!

I haven't opened one of those in literal years. I've been buying most durable goods online and probably anything that historically would have come in one of those demons now comes in easy to open/recycle boxes from Amazon.

Yeah I was running down that walk during construction, very odd area but I guess cool if you work at one of those corpos, dig whole foods, and don't mind a lack of local character. That walk would be beautiful to run on if it weren&#x2

I was there recently, I don't think it hits the mark. Way too corporate, too expensive, something about it is fake or trying too hard or something. It's also just a few islands of walkable spots interspersed with 4 lane divided ro

Why is the measurement on questions asked for the first couple of graphs and then user traffic for the latter set? I wonder if traffic is the better measurement for the first two as well but I bet the graphs won't look quite as doom an

People think it already costs too much to use and the prices keep going up as it is. So then it comes back to political situations like Christie ending a project in the name of lower gas prices.
