You don't find this creepy at all? She googles something on her phone. Gets near me, and my phone suggests driving to the location she googled? We aren't on the same account or anything. Google just assumed that I wanted to go whe

If you listen to it and get your knowledge first hand, you will hear a detailed explanation of exactly what he was doing with all these powerful people.

It's not wrong, but the mob has come for him and having any contrarian or critical opinion of this movement is career suicide.

My gf googled a Mexican restaurant neither of us had been too on her phone and when we got in my truck literally 5 minutes later android auto maps on my phone suggested it as a destination. If they can do this, they can get your other email

Superhuman paying customer here. For starters, they are not equivalent products because Hey.com is client + server. Superhuman is an app that sits on top of an existing Gmail account. I have no problem paying for Superhuman. I use it exclus

Sadly a valid point. However, I would submit that as a business you are less susceptible to the "silence is violence" attack than an individual would be. But who knows, the times they are a-changin.

It's always fascinating to me how the most liberal and progressive areas of our society are the ones who exhibit the most functional racism. This is the manifestation of the bigotry of low expectations that is so engrained in Silicon V

:shrug: people are mad because they don't want to admit that that Trump still has a real shot. Or they just assume that anybody who even tables the idea is racissss. Oh well.

My friend, you may not be aware that there is an election in a few months. This chaos will continue to escalate all summer and into the fall. Then once Trump wins re-election your really gonna see some slacktavism.

The best thing about running your own business is never having to deal with people like this. It's vastly under appreciated equity.

I had originally signed up due to the availability and pricing of bare metal servers and the mixed Windows/Linux server offerings. Their windows server licensing was better than AWS and I didn't want to be on Azure for a variety o

Their status page also seems integrated into their internal support ticketing system. It's not a traditional status page. They wanted to maintain a consistent garbage interface to keep it inline with the rest of their administrative se

These are the same people who recently published a white paper on how they guarantee zero downtime: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-zero-down... The idea that they could even get to this point probab

The most infuriating thing about this is the ZERO communication coming out of IBM Cloud. No emails. No updates to twitter. Status page down. Support lines clogged. At least give me something I can point my customers at to show them this is

Every time I see comments like this, and no direct offense intended, It always strikes me as coming from somebody who has never filed large insurance claims before. Been seeing this so much with riots lately, "oh you have insurance rig

Important distinction lies between "life-or-death" and "perceived life-or-death". The leeway given to police over civilians in this matter seems at the root of a lot of these issues.

Similarly, I have several friends working on wall street who flat out refuse to discuss anything related to a stock over email. Every discussion with them no matter how trivial is on the phone.

This was likely just as much about credit card fees as it is about data. Stripe's amazing service also comes at a substantial premium. For a high-volume thin-margin company like Lyft where every penny counts, per transaction fees at 2.

The fundamental concept that is missing from this post is that it's not the billing method that determines the success of the business, it's the value you bring to your customers. The service provider isn't going to update an

People seem to have forgotten or not realize that SaaS is just a sales model to sell a $2,400 software product for $100 on a payment plan without requiring manager approval. If you can't find anybody who will pay you $2,400 for this pr

This is not at all like when restaurants throw away food. The key distinction here is is that the bikes are getting recycled. They will be broken down and sold as scrap materials.

Yeah, it's far from a black and white issue. I am by no means against single tenant database structures, and for our initial use case it was likely the correct decision. I have not run into anything that stopped us in our tracks. My pu

For me it falls into the category of decisions that are easy to make and difficult to un-make. If for whatever reason you decide this was the wrong choice for you, be in tech needs (e.g. rails) or business needs, merging your data and going
