I suspect DoorDash is doing something similar, that's why I always choose 0 tip on the app and tip them cash when they arrive.

You are right. Distros failed us completely by choosing systemd.

by sfilargi 8y ago
Completely agree. The problem is not upstream, but downstream. Distros should have done better job and chosen a better default system manager and not systemd. You build your software the way you want and like. If others don’t like that it b

You love it that all your communication is controlled by only a single for profit company? I wonder how you will feel the day FB decided to ban you for whatever rule their algorithm would decide you violated.

Anecdotal, but I got an Apple Watch because I never liked the squeezing feeling of the chest strap of my Suunto. I put them to test for the first couple weeks and both at rest and while running the difference in the HR reported by both was

A very close childhood friend of mine got killed last April. I didn’t learn the news till August cause I didn’t have a FB account. There is a price to pay for sticking to your principles.

I am not saying that the grand-parent is on to something, but I would be careful when calling anything done by them as "nonsense conspiracy theory". They have proved these "conspiracy theories" to be true quite a few tim

No need to be aggressive, as I am not being cynical. I am genuinely asking, because I couldn't see any immediate need for it in their main product.

Why would you need voice recognition for them? What is the use-case?

Interesting, why does FB need a speech recognition system?

Don't consume the corporate cool-aid. Google, and for that matter any other company, is not its employees, it is its stockholders.

What I find strange about tipping is that the employees get pissed of with the customer if he doesn't tip. If I was in their shoes I would be pissed of with my employer for making "beg" the customers for getting my salary. Im

Yeah, I get it, even art has to follow some ground rules to begin with, but do we know what exactly is it that makes Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” such a great composition?

I, on the other hand, re-joined Facebook after years of absence and was really disappointed. It’s all politics and memes. Just an eponymous Reddit.

FoundationDB always sounded amazing, BUT, the way they disappeared when it was bought by Apple left a bitter taste in my mouth and I don't think I would ever trust them enough to build my business around their product.
