This reminds me of Under Pressure and Ice Ice Baby, the latter also having to pay up.

I think its fairly widely accepted that the Uncanny Valley principle can be applied to things like usability and design. For example: https://medium.com/s/user-friendly/the-ux-uncanny-valley-cf3...

I don't think this was a mistake. The mistake is that they were automatically switched but I'm sure they intended to download and install it in the background. I know several people who clicked "try the new dropbox" and

The true cost IMHO is time, time to learn it, to deploy, configure, update, manage, etc. Even if the hosting was dirt cheap, I don't want to spend my time doing it.

I think your comment is a bit misleading as they aren't doing anything nefarious as you suggest. My guess is this is a carryover from Chrome and not something Brave decided to build; if that's the case your not getting more secure

Nationalism is an extension of tribalism which is inherited in human beings, it's in our DNA [1]. We, as a species, may override our instincts to do what we feel is better for humanity, but then again humanity is just a larger tribe. [

I guess that depends on the type of business you in. You can be successful being a professional and putting in your 40 hours a week. It's very hard to have a startup working 40 hours a week, in fact, I'd love to know who's do

I'm a little surprised to see this because OneDrive scans and provides malware information [1] where not every cloud storage does. I would expect apps, including theirs, would make use of this and warn the user. Maybe they broke someth

I keep hearing that SF spends so much money on the homeless, but I don't see that to be the case. NYC spent $3.2b in 2019 [1]; they guarantee a bed for every person, every night, etc. If SF wants to solve the issue, look to NYC, and op

Actually, I did, obviously. I feel I have a much better picture of contracted centers like the one described in the article than a sensationalizing story from The Verge could inform me of though.

This story reads like a journalist trying to find some dirt on Facebook because its “hot” right now. Its the inverse of writing fluff stories when everyones excited about a startup. This story isn't even Facebook. I worked tech suppor

I'm not sure this counts as "hopping onto the bandwagon", I see this more as "Come use GCP" and just another way to promote GCP.

When was the last time you tried Google Drive? I had the exact opposite experience. I tried to sync about 700k files to Dropbox and it chewed up CPU for hours, never got past "Preparing to Sync" (or whatever is the equivalent), th

Hearing about Slackware brings back some memories. I was a heavy Slackware user during the '90s; the promise of a lightweight OS with none of the fuss seems to have been ultimately achieved by Arch though. I'm curious what distrib

I like your analogy, I'd add that DNA search/collection is akin to scanning cell phone records to see who was in the area at the time of the crime. Which typically requires a warrant.

In short, Yes and Yes. Even if you had an equity agreement day one, it's unlikely that it would represent what happened in the business over the last four years. Its always OK to revisit this with you co-founder, otherwise it will eat

I think those are fair points; mileage will depend on your end-goals. We want to know how our traffic relates to real-world ad deliverability, real users in our funnel, etc. I'd agree with "Also, the concept of Visitors and Users
