Light bulb cartel lol. But seriously: it's not like it's a zero-sum game and it's disingenuous to pretend it is as it justifies inaction and not having small wins that can add up over time. Specifically about lightbulbs, redu

In this case it seems to just be data scraped from people’s public profiles, but would you say the same thing if their more private data, like phone number, was leaked?

> With iOS being the minority player in China, Tencent can likely get away with it too I would somewhat disagree. Yes, iOS is a minority in China, but for wealthier people it's a higher percentage as it's a status symbol (as it

What? No it’s not. The important party here is the receiver of the money, not the giver. If an insanely rich person and a regular person both give a homeless person $250, in both cases that’s still probably a big deal for the homeless perso

In the case they showed, it’s correct though. A promise will never be null, but it’s resolved value might be (or it might reject). I’m actually surprised this took so long to get into the language, it seems like an “easy” mistake to make by

But, why do you need to “root” a car? It’s not a phone and I don’t really want to mess with a system that could potentially control my fate.

I'm not that commenter, but if I won the lottery, like the big one, I'd buy a castle, gild one toilet, and Instagram the shit out of it, pun intended. Then I will never have to work again because I'll become an Influencer.

This isn't really true for the AstraZeneca vaccine, though. There's supply, but people don't seem to trust it and it's just sitting on the shelves because even when people book an appointment they don't show up. I&#

Sure, content creators don't necessarily owe more content to fans, but it's a two way street. In my opinion content creators should more or less clearly state if something is on hiatus (or ended, or whatever) rather than leaving i

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When I typed SaaS products I meant more about a non-IDP product. They might support SSO but not SCIM-based account provisioning, especially if it's in-house auth (not using something like Auth0). I

by yladiz 6y ago
Not really relevant for the specific topic, but to be more precise, SSO is only the sign on part. Usually the provisioning/de-provisioning is handled by SCIM, which is related but distinct. You have some SaaS products that offer SSO bu

Even if we stopped measuring it, it would still exist and so there’s no benefit to not measuring and in fact it would be worse as you would have less data to make reasoned and informed solutions to economic problems.

I get why it's great for developers, but why for consumers? You'll almost have a situation exactly like the one that exists on Windows for gaming, where you have to install any number of stores to get the games that _only_ exist i

Yeah, this isn't really about "choice", it's about control. If there are exclusives on, for example, an iOS Epic store, your choice isn't really a choice, you have to install it from the Epic store. I'm curious

I'm very conflicted about this. On one hand, I have a little bit of Bitcoin and am happy about some of the gains I've gotten (not life changing in any sense, but more than I expected). On the other hand I hesitated for a long time

I was with you up until the end. There are numerous reasons why people “stay behind” beyond them not being “people you want to work with”, so don’t just lump everyone in that bucket of “they’re not good enough”.
