That's an implementation detail leak: for the end user it's just an advertisement. Call it as you want, but when I pay premium and you write "no ads" I want no ads. That's it. I don't care that the content prov

They very well know that people don't read sh* anymore. Just throw numbers there, PowerPoint them and offer an "unbiased" comparison where Google shines - buy Google. Worst case scenario, it's Google you're buying,

I think it's more like "in order to match my megaprofits, you need to give me this". I really believe they make a lot or money with custom ads - I don't have data though.

I am not sure they are their most valuable product to be honest. They make money with literally anybody on the planet.

I am all for privacy and so on, however you have to admit that with the current technology alone it's basically impossible to track or prevent certain types of crimes - and it's becoming more and more difficult. I am decently sure

I think sometimes they are paid to do what from outside looks like bad s** on purpose. Like transitioning a company from public to private or other weird things like that. You need someone that can put their face, that "shows up"

If that is the case they are doing a pretty s** job spying on people, considering the amount of harm being done to children (and people in general).

> The tools and implementation is the cheap part. Not always true. This is a bit of a myth I myself sometimes fall for. Tools and implementation require a lot of very skilled workers to become cheap, because they must know all the traps

I hope so for you guys. I personally don't have experience with this extortion around booting a car, but, wow. It's incredible sometimes to hear that this happens in a modern city/country.

Even if these are from third parties and not the city itself? I read comments here of people who got their car "booted" (not sure what verb to use:) ) by not authorized companies. How do you even know what is authorized and what i

He has finally showed the world his true self. I am happy about that - I don't want another capitalist sanctified for being a genius, which he is not. The more this becomes clearer the better for everyone.

Sorry, you're right. I was try to point to different direction: you keep foreigners because you can exploit their visa status. :)

When you own a company and fire someone to cut costs nobody is gonna say anything, of course. It's the sad reality. When you cut the company to 1/3 and keep foreigners because of their visa status, nobody is gonna say anything of

He is squeezing everything as much as he can. Introduced failing ideas that made him ridiculous world wide, ... to finally hire a CEO. And now he is using the platform to influence elections and events - free for all. Sure.

I don't wear a mask, but you should not judge. Probably some are people at a higher risk than you are - they might look "normal" and alright, but they don't have to tell you if they have heart diseases, diabetes or whate

The best is that if you (junior or senior) bring this up, you're either shut down by management because you don't have the right expertise (how dare you, especially if you like me are mostly working in backend) or by the UX guy sa

Typically I use the activity monitor to analyze the file content. There is always 1 lib at least that a specific framework brings along, even in case of native programs. When that is not enough, you can also get some cues from the Accessibi

I am a bit surprised to read this about the UK. Is this everywhere or just in some regions? Anyway, the issue is not the taxation but the misuse, then?

Are taxes high and services/schools/hospitals so bad you need to pay privately?

I think it's because it was promised or sold as something beyond national currencies, that offers some sort of anonymity, a way to make money relatively fast (or at least not lose any), etc. Finally, most of it turned out to be just pl

In the era of "if it's free, you're the product", I have to admit that this is a strange move. While I personally would never pay 8$/month for the blue check (who cares?), I can understand that someone might want to

As a European, I don't consider this a mistake, for the simple reason that the IP address is so easily abused by trackers and people with bad intentions - the extent of abuse that we have experienced until now is absolutely ridiculous.
