This kind of elitist nonsense where people say "Accredited Investor" as if it implied some kind of education or certification. It was always just a certification that you had an excessive amount wealth. Sounds like you believe som

I had to stop using Google music when it stopped working entirely on Firefox. Glad I got out before they killed it.

I'm happy to hear Google is charging for ReCAPTCHA. I hope they make it completely unaffordable and get rid of any free tier. Any disincentive for sites to force users to train AI for Google is a good thing. Every time I run into it, i

Just read Beyond Good and Evil. It's pretty clear that Nietzsche is either ignorant (less likely) or trolling (more likely). Nietzsche is happy to take the Stoic phrase of "according to nature," but isn't happy to use th

Love to see this. ReCaptcha is nothing short of a menace. I'll take a shot at this for my next project

Talking as if this didn’t already happen in the McCarthy era. What good company to be in. Same tactics, different ideals. Just as wrong. Just as convinced you’re right.

If the person you responded to had said "monopoly," your comment would only be pedantic (and maybe bad faith), but they didn't say that - it's easy to argue with a straw man. Don't demean yourself.

The fact that you're being downvoted just shows the partisan reflexes of those that did it. Making a factual correction without any additional commentary. Down the memory hole.

I’m starting to get the sense that if Lindsey Graham backs it, it’s almost certainly bad policy.

I wish they'd just skip the facade of a trial at all - pretending like there's any kind of justice here. Railroad whistleblowers. People in power caught out never even get the pretense of a slap on the wrist.

I get that this is aggravating, but I think the hyperbolic hammering on the event that's presumably about promoting open source is misguided. Opt-in could help. So could better access control tools from GitHub. DO could make it so that

These dark patterns around location tracking was what finally made me give up on Android. I knew Google tracked location even when the location setting was turned off, so I had App & Web activity disabled. As Google bricked more and mor

It's possible the encryption part is just Wired's editorializing and not what he intended. I might be jumping to conclusions.

I read all of what you pasted before I posted. I don't see how it changes my point at all. There's a complete disconnect between the first statement about encryption and the second. Unless Bill Gates really thinks that the vast ma

I wouldn't say the commission rate is the biggest antitrust problem with the App store. Moreso the way Apple will copy functionality from other apps, build it into iOS, and change its TOS in a way to justify banning the incumbents from

Great post. It's good to see thoughts on productivity from a manager's perspective.

A counterpoint: I work with a lot of ex-Amazon employees who continue to conduct interviews exactly in this way. Even my own interview, if I hadn't prepped a story for each of the LPs, I would've bombed.

Awesome post. I'd tried playing around with OpenCV edge detection, but was struggling filtering out the noise. This helps a lot.
