How does this work if you’ve never done business with the company or ever intend to? If I get a random email from a company with a tracking pixel, am I ‘doing business’ with them? If a friend shares my name and number with an app, am I doin

I wonder if access to better transportation options plays a role in their higher population density. I don’t know enough about Japan to really make any calls towards that though.

> not even projected to become profitable until 2070, but that's another story. I wish that’s how we looked at public transit in the US. Amtrak would be taking us coast to coast in a matter of hours at this point.

They are typically the main group of people who enforce laws in NYC, and operating a business without a license sounds like something they’d come in quick to shutdown. They were also the ones who originally came to his place to handle a sep

As someone whose gotten pretty involved in advocacy work in the city, this is the sad chain of events that I can imagine might work(Probably not within 30days though): 1. Contact the local community board where the business is and try and s

There are many little things that depend on what you’re trying to address. In my case, a few of the most helpful things I do now are: - Focused box breathing for ~5-10 minutes several times throughout the day to relieve tension in my body.

If you’re interested, you should check out ‘Ortho Bionomy - A path to self care’ by Luann Overmyer. She touches a lot on what you were just saying. Often, people expect to do whatever they want and then go to doctors to ‘fix’ them. It’s goo

Right. The method has it’s own flaws, but it’s still another layer of insulation. Someone getting your email off a large user data breach is less likely to pick out your name and attempt to reverse engineer that pattern specifically for you

This isn’t just good against spam. If there’s a data breach on the site, it’s another layer of insulation against you and other accounts you own. It’s close to the equivalent of Apple allowing you to sign up to services using one of their a

Then you have the companies that take every estimate and cut it down to 1 month without changing scope. Doesn’t matter if the estimates are 3 months worth of work or 6. And now as an eng you have to either lowball your own estimates and bur

What makes this even scarier is the amount of technological incompetence the people have who are monitoring these things. As far as I know, there’s no legal equivalent to HIPAA(which itself only scratches the surface of things) for ensuring

In cities like NYC, I don’t think you’d see any buildings accept robots carrying unidentified packages in, at least within the next couple decades. Considering people also still often steal iPhones and other electronics to pawn off, I can

For small companies, I feel like checking out how many people used to work there(and when they left) on LinkedIn vs. how old the company is works as a really great metric. If you’re looking at a 100 person company that appears to have more

I’ve been in both positions and know the feeling! Whenever I pair with someone now, I usually try and slow things down in the beginning and ask questions along the way to see if they follow me, even if I think what I’m doing is ‘simple’. No

It seems that the question you are answering, and that I don’t disagree with and am not asking is ‘can you move to a different service provider?’. Not ‘how do you move to a different service provider without incurring costs to transition to

My question was towards: > It's already demonstrated that the big cloud providers will cut you off with little warning if you run afoul of their political sensibilities. So the only way to use those services is in the most generic w

Ok.. so that still doesn't answer my question. How do you get the time and resources allocated to make your entire platform completely agnostic of specific cloud services while still operating in the cloud? Can you name a single compan

I’ve seen this parroted so often with anything infrastructure related. Where do you magical people work that your company has managed to somehow find the time to build out infrastructure that you can swap out to another provider on a whim?

That's fine, I didn't think you were trolling. But I'm not sure what are you an asking an example for? Do you want me to write up a comparison or just tell you some cases where HTML/CSS is lighter than JS? I'd hones

I’ve seen this more times than I can count… A lot of people think of CSS as if it’s not code itself. Modularize it and create patterns like you would for any other piece of code(ie. react components), and it becomes fairly straight-forward

Yes. That does matter, a lot. Look up induced demand. Also consider that full-self driving will likely mean more cars on the road that don't even have a person in them. Traffic backups and delays aren't just created from people cr

We used to have this right, but it feels like somewhere between 2010-2015, companies realized they could make more money by disallowing simple replacements. I used to make some money as a kid by buying batches of broken Iphone 3G/3GS&#
