That and they probably threw hoards of cash and engineering at the problem.

I don't get that. As opposed to what? Displaying an unfamiliar window what gets in the way and is confusing?

I wonder if the fact of making babies by couples in lockdown will not be offset by singles in lockdown unable to go out and meet people for baby-making purposes.

I have no idea why there still isn't another eink smartwatch. It was such a wonderful piece of tech. Worked wonderfully, had days of battery life and, most importantly, non trivial and loyal customer base.

Oh man, it's easier than that! I use Google Dampener (tm). It's a new revolutionary, cloud-based product, coming to you soon (tm). Basically works like this - something that Google makes/announces makes you excited? Dampen yo

Yeah, it seems it's a recurring theme nowadays with companies - you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. And this time the company is named Robinhood ? You really can't make that stuff up.

And that's what pisses me the most. That they put out words that everyone knows have no real meaning.

I remember playing a lot or Warcraft 2, Stunts, Dune 2 etc when I was young. However, what I "wasted" even more time on is writing cheats (Warcraft) and map editors (Stunts) for those games so... On a side note I tend to think kid

Ok, humor me here, you guys are certainly smarter than I am. This would be based on a flawed assumption that history is a good indicator of future performance. I choose an entry point into Bitcoin somewhere in the last 12 to 5 years. From t

Isn't the point he tried to make that if you've chosen an entry point into Bitcoin anywhere in the last -12 - -5 years you'd still be ahead 5 years later? So that if your time horizon is at least 5 years and if history is any

Ugh. Tulips weren’t scarce, easily transferable, divisible and didn’t last. The comparison has no place in a discussion. As for the bubble argument - there have been bubbles in other asset classes and no one calls them out as worth nothing

Didn’t say it was easy to monetize. I do recall a bust, some time ago, of a ring that used prerelease (?) announcement pdfs already placed on publicly accessible servers (?) as a source of insider alpha. (‘?’ because I’m on my third whiskey

Isn’t legal involved in most business moves? Getting a wind of those ahead of a public announcement surely must be worth something ;)

This. Came here to say exactly this. I hate those stupid apps that use custom interfaces and custom buttons and whatnot. And for what? "Branding"? Somehow f.lux gets a pass from me here but it's on thin ice ;)

Seconded on the LG WebOS. Hated smart/dumb TVs (Toshiba, Samsung, Sony) until I stumbled onto LG's WebOS. Speedy, works as expected, has most of the streaming apps. I thought the MagicRemote mouse thingy is going to be a gimmick b

It's not always that easy I think. My LG TV has a Bluetooth remote and I know for a fact that it has a single WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity module (because it crapped out on me recently). Removing the module would render the remot

I tried it some time ago and liked it. Self hosted aspect is a big plus for me. However, I've since stopped using it because the upgrades did fuck it up more than once I think and it was too slow to add information, too much friction.

...and it was an awesome idea. The execution and shoving it down users throats, not so much.

Oh, I thought that's actually how it's supposed to be. You could never browse the internet with Internet Explorer ;))

Sure, that's a valid argument. But I'm cynical, so I also think that terrorism is often just masqueraded greed, a money grab under the guise of doing something political.

by mszcz 6y ago
Isn't terrorism trying to achieve a political goal through violence? Getting ransom money is just garden variety greed imo.

The same thing seems to happen with a lot of cookie consents that appear at the top of the page after the page loads moving the content lower. Infuriating. People spend so much time making their pages look, work and feel better but then tur

In CA scandal the data collected was about users. Here data is collected about what Facebook does, what a corporation does. They don't seem similar.

1. It's next to impossible to make a mistake like that. 2. The mistake works out in Google's favour. 3. Difficult to give Google the benefit of a doubt anymore regarding anything. 4. Does anyone believe what PR dept. of a large co

What's so sad about this is that no one will ever get slapped for this. Not rank-and-file people that coded this, not the people who green-lit this, not the asshole claiming this is a "programming error", not anyone. I know i
