This seems like a situation where they came up with the wrong solution to the problem. The great engineering leader refers people who don't make it through the technical interview. So the supposition is that "The company is missin

I'd think the ability to set the file to delete after X downloads instead of 14 days would be useful.

This is exactly why privacy and proxy services will still be necessary - it will essentially re-balance what GDPR has unbalanced (no judgement on whether that is favorable or not)

They aren't but the nature of the process is "Everyone gets an opinion" that takes a lot of time. So they spent over a year soliciting opinions, sorting out legal issues etc, and came up with "we need some kind of autho

Privacy still has a place, this would not keep someone from knowing what corporation owns a domain - and will not keep the government or other interested parties from finding that out. Privacy services still act as an impediment to keep ow

In the short term WHOIS is going to be limited to just the registrant organization, state, country and a masked email address (Admin and Technical fields will be removed save email). This is short term to come into compliance with GDPR. Lo

Visa/MC/AMEX make a MASSIVE amount of money on Fraud - it's in their interest to perpetuate it. I've experienced this myself with > 6 figures in CC fraud in a month. Here is the financial break down: Every time a cust

It appears this issue was brought up previously on Feb 21. So you've got a group of people who already raised the issue seeing it happening again. They may have been more reserved on the first go around but I can empathize with them se

Those views are rather strictly tied to the number of 0's in ones bank balance I feel. Even 1% of Bill gates worth is many hundreds of millions. Where as the average person who seeks to leave everything to their children might be in

They already make deaf alarm clocks for this. I actually use to use one for overnight alerts because I'm a heavy sleeper and I don't want to wake up my wife with my phone sounds.

I think its the difference between committing to one large choice over the long term vs. the flexibility to have many small choices over time.

Its possible they are perpetually in a "rough patch" Americans do have a mind set of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" That would lead to this kind of behavior.

It's timely that you mention this - I was thinking of hacking together my own sleep sensor but I'm married and I keep going round and round trying to sort out a system that if doesn't work for two accounts for one in spite of

Yes, agreed though you must also take into account the idea of the "straw that breaks the camels back".

I would have expected that, however, I think their "cheap" device is what a echo costs. What's dissapointing is that lots of small assistants in you house also opens up tons of possibilities. I think their are some interestin

I think they made the wrong product. This is positioned as a Sonos killer. What I hoped to see was a integrated home assistant, this is a really nice speaker no one is going to integrate with. Unfortunately whatever ecosystem people buy in

It seems like its straight out of their playbook. They've laid some groundwork, perhaps collect some data on things the device gets asked and next year release massive upgrades. I feel its a bit of too little to late, but it is their

I'd say its possible you could see other providers, I'd expect to see Airplay and not bluetooth from this.

I think they are positioning as a Sonos killer (price is inline w/ that as well) rather than echo killer. Thats probably a mistake but it does appear thats their strategy. The "smart" part of the speaker is a total afterthoug

It's not the hardware - it's the software. I went all in on Amazon Echo and Dots. I have them in my living room, office, bathroom, bedroom. The ecosystem that Amazon provides is far richer than Apple can hope to provide. Google

This is great, I'm spanish and I never learned to speak (read pretty well). My conjugation is abysmal so I sound like some kind of backwoods hill billy (the spanish version of that). I may give this a go, get conversational. Great proj

Wow, first value wins seems like a really horrible idea, any insight into why that choice got made?

I do see a business case for not selling. .canon for example - you could provide every device with its own domain ie xhshe3u45.canon etc. So there are some cases where it does make sense.

.com is still king. It's going to be a while until the others get real penetration. And some tld's are never going to take off. Either the pricing is completely unrealistic or the tld is so long you can achieve the same thing in

Exactly - loaded it up with my site - all blank, thought about it for a second realized we disable Frame loading. That's becoming so common now, any tool using frames is really at a disadvantage.

Without knowing you - it's hard to say. Ultimately having confidence and being able to demonstrate how your history makes you a good fit is going to combat that perception. When you tell people about your work history - does it sound m

It's definitely an issue of selling oneself. You either get stuck with an interviewer if your resume is not great or if you don't sell what you can do. There are people that either via the jobs they choose or the long tenure at a

For me it actually means the same thing over and over. Had a guy with "15 years" of experience interview one time. He analyzed scientific data, sounded good. When we got into it he'd literally been writing/managing a par

One challenge I face with applicants is that they actually have 1 year of experience 7 times and not 7 years of experience. You should consider if that's what they are seeing. Some people are doing the exact same thing they were doing
