This kind of thing blows my mind. If I were making that much money I'd work for 5 years and retire. I sometimes wonder if that's why I don't make that much? Has anyone here done this and retired?

Hell, some paid apps have ads which drives me insane.

I was intentionally equating them to emphasize the problem. If you're not educated to discern the difference between traditional education and advertisement, then there is no practical difference. Coca-Cola (and advertisements for it)

So what's the alternative? No one does pen testing and then any government (or motivated individual) can access your data? I'd rather my own government do it than no one at all. It is particularly hairy, and I don't think the

I too would like to know more. Extending on the computer analogy, even if it is just adding more blank drives — does that mean your brain has additional _capacity_ for cognition? Or is it more like those people who inject oil into their mus

So is birthday cake, the key is moderation and education — not banning everything that's remotely bad for you. Unfortunately Coca-Cola spends more on their own form of education (advertising) than many countries spend on actual educati

I guess? it's a weird stretch. There's nothing specifically protecting what a business decides to censor other than the fact that the government can't engage in censorship.

NIST simply recommends a minimum length for passwords, all other requirements don't really provide worthwhile security.

Most of these patterns are fine if implemented correctly. It's not hard to trigger a modal with a URL for example. Password managers work fine with multi-page forms, you just have to label the inputs correctly and the user might have t

They're not the only one. Don't shame other people for their preferences.

Which network effects are locking you in to using Facebook and not self-publishing, or using Twitter, reddit, hackernews, Medium, Tumblr, or any other website?

by thisisweirdok 8y ago
No. Facebook the company can publish or not publish whatever they want. They can censor you all they want. It has nothing to do with free speech as outlined in the constitution (which again, protects individual people from government censor

You have a poor understanding of free speech. If you use someone else's service/platform, you have zero right to free speech (certain speech is protected, but it's very limited). The freedom of speech is specifically protecti

>Nor do I want a single entity (as Facebook/Twitter exist today) to have that control. If you're operating a business you fundamentally need that control. The platform you're talking about it the internet. It already exist

It's crazy to think of the internet without the Internet Archive. It's really fundamental work.

This Amazon process has been complete shit for every idiot city who jumped on (my city included). I call the mayor's line here to leave messages about stuff like this every time it happens and say "see, you dummies this was a bad

They say no and will reject your contract. Now you have to find another project. When you're freelancing there are times when it's very hard to say no because you don't necessarily know when the next job is coming.

I'm getting really sick of large corporations essentially moulding bureaucracy to benefit themselves and fuck over everyone else. I'm also seeing things like popup more frequently like NET90 payment terms... or accounting depart

To be honest all of that sounds terrible. Getting a job that compensates me with actual money and using that to buy lottery tickets seems more fruitful.

I can't imagine China wouldn't retaliate on such a ban? Maybe Apple will have to scale back those expectations on sales in China again?

If you don't need to pay for health insurance out of pocket or have a family, sure. This is possible.

>“It was made pretty plain to us that we were at-will employees and they would fire us at any time,” most employees across the country are at-will, do people not know this?

Well you're kind of insulated from actually pushing anything interesting out from within Google. You've got shareholders and constant growth to deal with after all. It's just that by contrast 4chan was this wildly weird often

It's not a falsehood. I pay a higher tax rate on some of my income than Apple pays on average.

Seems like a waste to be a middle manager at Google, but maybe he just wants to be a normal dude.

Seriously. They'd get a ton of bad reports like everyone with a bug bounty program, but Apple isn't exactly running lean on resources.

As far as companies go, Apple has enough money to basically be a deity. I think more of it should be in the hands of their employees and the American taxpayer.
