No one but Google, Apple or Amazon are remotely close to being 'partners' with Facebook. Unless you count hedge finds or multinationals in other industries. Facebook's cash flow is enough that even this company's revenu

Sounds to me like this should be the zillionth warning sign that leaning on a FAANG for any significant portion of your business activities is a critical mistake. If there is no customer support, there is no reliability, period. You can de

I'm sorry, but with my (admittedly broad and _shallow_) view of religious history, trying to see human relations through the filter of religion seems at least as fluid and relative as politics. So much individual human mucking about wi

Late response over the holidays, but honestly thank you. In years of Excel usage, I've never stumbled on that or had anyone mention it. I will look into that as Excel 2016 is one of my current required work apps.

Politics is the general relativity of human relations. There is no absolute frame of reference.

It sounds like you missed the point of GP's post. He was talking about avoiding manual weekly data copy-paste errors by writing code to do it in a predictable format. I think you assumed that they meant the code would never have to be

Wouldn't that be even more pressure on the pricing system, though? If statistics about refused services were kept, we could see where the various providers are pricing in-demand services out of reach of those who need them. Or convers

AMP is Google's way of subsuming other sites content into their own engine, as much as they can get away with, anyway. I don't see this as Google trying to open up other sites, as much as it is trying to rebrand and gut other site

So lobby for Amazon's policy to not allow stars, but just report fakes/fraud. Every item is taken down when flagged, until manually reviewed by Amazon staff. If a flagged item is restored, those that flagged it are banned, proport

And we're back around to the quote "It's very difficult to make someone understand something, when their salary depends on their not understanding it." Unless Amazon loses because of these misrepresentations, they'r

I could give a rat's ass about dark mode or other themes. I want "oldest first" back. Like almost every other mail client. Everywhere. Sigh.

> It's not as simple as saying "well, someones gonna be upset but we should do it anyway because we know better". Yeah, it is. That's exactly what Google does. All the time.

I still say that there should be a .adv TLD, and any paid advertising goes on either the manufacturer's site or in a .adv page, nowhere else. .adv would be the internet catalog (good or bad, awesome shopping resource or godawful bag of

Well, you're not a billboard, or any other fixed sign broadcasting to everyone that walks by, or pushing your opinion at literally everyone you meet, so while you may have an opinion, it's not being forced on everyone who comes i

Typical aggregator sites so far, don't have customer-side "flag this product" or "flag this tag/category as incorrect" feedback. Allow buyers to push back against bogus, overtagged, or miscategorized items and

It's that false sense of entitlement from the fan side that makes me glad I'm nowhere near a celebrity. Disrespectful my ass. Unless you have a close, actually personal connection to him, no, you don't have any right to pers

Every time I/we have gone to the craft store we like, I have to fight the urge to reset the 12 feet of 9, 10 shelves high with all the 2oz paint bottles. All numbered, with placards the length of the shelf, 2 inches per bottle, and om

My separation flight, returning CONUS from Pearl Harbor, was a late night 747 to SFO. New Years Eve of the millenium, so most people were already where they were going to be on earlier flights. I had an entire mid-plane six-seat row to my
