I wasn't "appalled" but definitely felt uneasy about it. I am aware I could opt out and read all the discussions about it here on HN. I didn't do anything about it, despite being a very privacy conscious person (using fi

Imagine a legitimate travel agency cannot book 100 United tickets a day via methods outlined in business contracts and need to resort to shady practice. Dude, please provide some real solid evidence to back this up, and perhaps come up with

I find these projects very interesting as ideas but never ever suitable for any serious purpose. Not even for my personal website or blog. As soon as you approach the boundary of what the project provides, you are completely on your own. Al

The (almost) same thing happens near Boston's South Station. There are some TVs that show timetables of upcoming trains/buses, except that they added ads. So, if you want to know how many minutes you have to catch a train, wait 30

That's surprising -- I would think it is obvious Amazon doesn't care about internal uproars, and there is nothing people can do about it. Otherwise the current 3 day RTO wouldn't have happened.

Exactly. Whether you can figure out your daycare situation with 5 day RTO is at the bottom of the long list of things Andy Jassy cares about. Even if you are an L6 -- a senior position that takes years to achieve within Amazon -- that means

>>> Gretchen: "That is so fetch!" >>> Regina: "Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!" So now we know there is some linguistic context to that conversation.

My guess is that there is non-public information involved, and a lot of hard discussions that are not good for the gossipy press. Just like you never, ever see a meeting/phone call between Biden and Xi livestreamed on YouTube in full d

Well, it is hard/very distasteful to put ads on a source code hosting website, so this likely isn't aligned with Google's interest. No, I am not joking.
