But you can't blame the product for this, can you? You wont blame email because people you work with are adding you to all the mailing lists, are you? Yes, fb could do a better job at explaining how to use their product, but maybe ther

You really have 2 choices: Are you relying only on data you can get from your app? There is no reason not to build your own solution. Are you relying on data you can't get from your app/website? Then you can only use GA, since F

The easiest analogy is that containers are like binaries. If you find a problem in nginx, you don't go on and patch /usr/bin/nginx, you uninstall that one and replace it with a binary that has the problem fixed.

Why do people jump so easily from "lets build an efficient monitoring system" to terminators? Why do you think that first action that will be taken in such a condition will be something bad for the employee in question? Might be a

I'm using the "stupid" method of emailing stuff to myself. Works for pictures I'm taking with my phone and I also don't have to spend too many neurons doing so.

I find this very naive. The op is not trusting Google because someone told them not to trust Google. They were trusting Fitbit because nobody told them not to. How did Fitbit make their money to pay for the online services? Only from sellin
