I'm a Googler working on something else, but I think the rough process will be the same: 1. Product management decides which audiences should get special attention. 2. UX researchers get hold of a number of users matching those audienc

People like to share their experiences. Sharing them with people who experienced similar things gives that warm fuzzy feeling of community. One that we're not getting enough due to the pandemics.

That's a good argument. On the other hand, that's a bit counter my experience. Working in a large company, I feel like walls keep emerging spontaneously and piercing through them is the bit that requires work. Often people inside

> PC laptops are now budget machines so they compete on price. My Surface Pro was a hair below $2000. I was also considering a Lenovo X1 Yoga that was well above $2000. You sure that's competition on price?

In the 2 western European countries I've lived in, Amazon is an utter mess. "Free shipping over 30 EUR" often turns into searching for which listing for the item is covered. Heck, there isn't even a search filter for &qu

Wasn't the first patient in France confirmed, post-factum, to have been in November or October 2019? What would be the chances that US people travel to China less than the French?

It really depends on the terrain I guess. Having lived all my life either on the shore or in the mountains, I've always seen winds to be pretty stable in a given season.

Oh sure, YouTube forbids that. Once there's enough traffic to care, it'll get cut off. But YouTube is somewhat unlikely to try to sue one's socks off for breaking the ToS. Copyright owners though...

Only if the comment is about the screenshot itself though. https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU has some sad explanation.

Would that require running a separate server locally? That's all kinds of non-techie hostile :(

Then again, a corporation is likely able to contract with another corporation in a way that's not disturbed by scalpers?

That is slightly wrong. The launch-to-promo culture in engineering is real. But no engineer has any bearing on the "new product"-level decisions. What us mere mortals can do, is to try to convince the product management and UX des

I'm wondering if you somehow pinned your org to an old version. I'm, as a googler, on pre-release and Chat is obviously changing a lot. I doubt I will ever like it, but "nothing has changed" is the polar opposite of what

Yeah, my French is not what it should have been and I contracted an allergy to the French bureaucracy. Quite a bit of the whole thing is on me, no denying that. A good friend is doing it now and it's not like he's swimming in cash

I likely am. The idea to try a startup in France was very short lived for me. Every card was stacked against me (many particuarly against me/my ideas, not everything is a reflection on society), so I moved on after just a few convers

Care to share your source on "don't do very well at stopping spread"? When I searched arxiv, it seemed to be 4-10x reduction in viral loads.

A timeout and an automatic refund? Not giving back unspent money is something that no legal department on this planet would risk. Edit: come think of it, I know counterexamples :(

But what is there's no code or code that is not used in a working feature? Both ends of the performance spectrum comprise people who don't really code.

GitHub seems competent and not that banhammery. I wonder if you get better account recovery support there, especially as a paying customer?

Oh, me too. But unless we get a couple dozen million Americans to share the sentiment, we won't get what we want. And that doesn't seem like a battle worth fighting.

I'm afraid they mean it in the sense of "popular use of the protocol". I'm on Firefox right now, navigate to my personal blog that offers RSS... And none of the buttons in the UI seems to refer to that. If I navigate dir
