The legal Deparment runs most companies . They are the only way to get something bespoke done (like unlocking an account ). And companies are terrified of discovery. Any lawyer can file a complaint in small claims . OP has paid for a servic

How do you collaborate with your coworkers , customers and friends ? What industry are you in ?
813.
by tonymet 11mo ago
How do you collaborate ? Do you have friends ? A job ? I’m not being rhetorical —- it’s very rare to have friends or a job and not have some ties to the cloud. Even my tiny HOA manages its record in the cloud

What tools are you performing live backups with ? I can think of rclone running , but gdrive/icloud doesn’t send change lists

by tonymet 11mo ago
Yes it happens constantly. I know many businesses who have their assets in the cloud . Backup sounds nice and is necessary but is always out of date and recovery is totally impractical . Many/most of the assets like indexes , reference

Meta-critical or self-critical comments on hackernews get downvoted . It’s about 1.5 ° above Reddit

You’re right that nearly all responses are emotional , to maintain internal consistency. Even purchasing large gift cards is a common discounting approach when paying for cloud . The sad news is when important people get locked out they can

I’m sorry but this sounds so preposterous that it’s making my point

So let me try to understand you. You have 200 friends on whatsapp and FB locks you out . Now you can start sending them letters ? And how do you get their number . WhatsApp,WeChat , messenger , telegram all use private addressing

Maybe iPhone is adding those ?

Very true. And account integrity check pointing is stochastic and more aggressive so at any time there are people being locked out . One of 20 of your services could lock you out tomorrow and that means you’re blocked from coworkers and fam

I back up regularly using Google Takeout and similar tools, but I don’t think it’s fair to shame this author . Even if you have backups , your recent and essential content and credentials will be locked out . 1% of your content is the most

Double check (I mean by remote port scan) that your firewall is working. I’ve seen routers with no IPv6 firewall . And it actually matters

This is inconsistent with the basic concept. It’s projecting and reading lasers . By default some emissions will hit people in the eye. Even invisible light can damage tissue , especially in the eye

mobile adoption is high, desktop (residential and corporate) is still quite low. I'm a big advocate for github to add ipv6 support , but let's not pretend it's critical for their business.

github haters (who still use the platform, for free) are the worst

This is pretty dishonest because some trivial service no one cares about will reset this counter .

Kudos that hackernews homepage didn't gain any bloat in 10 years -- still about 50kb .

If you're living under an occupied military force, you are still at war, not peace.

And Stalin continued to take territory even later, moving into East Germany, Czechoslovakia, etc . Continuing with military pressure over the later years.

it wasn't partitioned. USSR invaded and captured that territory in 1939. It was an agreement with Hitler, not Roosevelt. Yalta happened well after everyone had been killed and the dust settled. Roosevelt chickened out. Go visit the

Soviet Occupation of Europe, "Cold War", which was very hot with arms race, intel, nuclear deployments, naval skirmishes, proxy wars, Yugoslavia War. It didn't end in 2000, really it expanded.

you're kidding right.

WW1 wasn’t “started by preparation”. In fact it was the continuation of about 100 years of war, and the war continued for nearly 100 years afterward. Europe had been at war nearly continuously from Napoleon to 2000 .

It's a good tip, I may end up doing that. I'm hoping that Apple has better standards for third party streaming apps (just yesterday I made a Ask HN post about how terrible they are)
