It's very fair feedback - I updated my response to highlight that the reason is not that classic sites is old, and old is bad, and new sites is new, and hence good. It's more that the way websites are built and rendered changed f

I think this is an interesting point - I will say that the vast vast majority of these sites (unfortunately I can't disclose the number) have not received edits or even visits for more than two years. To me, archiving those sites does

It's a good question - I know we looked at the possibility of a cloud storage bucket, but there were some technical challenges there (possibly what you describe). Do you want to shoot me an email at zito@ and I can try to find someone

Fundamentally, classic sites works differently than new sites. It's basically not possible, for example, to make a classic sites website mobile responsive. That's a table-stakes feature for website builders today. To your Square

Classic Sites has been around for a very long time (since 2008), and we've been working to make new Sites a better, more modern, more maintainable place to create and host websites. The vast majority of users are choosing to create th

Hi, thanks for the feedback. To be clear, we invested a lot of time and effort internally trying to find a path forward where we could support hosting the sites as static dumps and continue serving them. At no point was the cost in terms

Hi folks - my name is Matt, and I lead the "Presentation & Ideation" product team inside of Google/G Suite, which includes Classic and New Sites. This project has been in the works for a while, so I'm happy to answe

So, your described situation almost never happens. There are candidates who get 100% hire votes, and they get hired. Most candidates have some variability- it is rare that everyone is 100% onboard. The svp review is to make sure that the

It’s really a lot less complicated than the author makes it. NY is testing more than 3x the number of people with < 1/2 the population. On top of that, more than 50% of the cases are in one city, and iirc another 25% are in Westch

As usual, a great write up. I think one nuance that is important is: > Does letting a single influenza virus through mean you will get infected? If so, any reduction short of 100% is useless. I have a vague sense that this isn’t true; y

It’s really hard to know whether it’s actually new sales. For example, if my Etsy storefront ranks in the #1 position for “artisanal doorstops”, etsy can buy that keyword, users I would have gotten organically now go through the ad, as it’

Sorry, to be clear, it switches all of your windows like a separate desktop. I like having both windows available simultaneously. I realize this is a nit picky complaint, and I am in the minority.

Yes, they do. The default machine you get is a pixelbook, that’s true of basically everyone at Google. You can request a Mac, which is what I did, but I later also got a pixelbook and found that I quite like it. Literally the only thing k

Ehhhhh - so, the Post is notoriously anti-minimum wage hikes, and the NYCHA is a restaurant owners association, so it makes sense that they are anti-wage hike. I would say that from my experience with the restaurant industry here, it defini

It was a slightly tongue in cheek answer, just that as a practical matter for the use case of dropping off a passenger or a lone package, they work just fine, and are commonly used for that case. I agree that actual loading zones are differ

This already exists in NYC, it’s the space in front of fire hydrants. It doesn’t help. The problem is that the trucks are simply offload points, and occupy large sections of street as 5-15 people process the packages, stack delivery carts,

It was just various software spaces where I had first hand knowledge. I just kept asking for more money, and they kept trying to talk me down, and then I would offer to walk away, and we would negotiate something. I also made it very clea

I don’t do this anymore, due to my employer looking unfavorably towards it, but I was charging between $600-900 an hour for my industry advice on spaces I’d worked in. I could have charged less and done more hours, but I found there was a

By brand/corporate representation they do. So you’ll see a cluster of different brands all around the same interchange - but that might be the only, say, Toyota dealership in the area.

Obviously your mileage may vary, but I think you’ve got the curve backwards here. There are far far fewer late-30s roles for men, as on screen most look too old to be “young” and not old enough to read as “dad” or “distinguished”. If you

Sure, in the abstract, but it’s not purely about prices. If I’m a business traveler who uses Uber in 90% of the cities I visit, I’m not going to price shop when I visit Austin - a) it’s not my money and b) the friction about downloading a

Fwiw, years ago I studied clowning under David Bridel, the head of one of the clown schools in the article. I think it’s worth noting that clowning is a really fascinating cross between improv and commedia del’arte, where there are these v
