If they were given the ability to properly and violently stop these shenanigans (violent store and street mobs/takeovers), you bet that the next week there'd be more BLM looting sprees. This is nothing but bullies pushing their wa

Many if not all are like that. It's like everyone wants to take advantage of the lack of perfect information in the marketplace, as opposed to actually being helpful for consumers.

Something went wonky with ads in general and it may just be a coincidence that the internet happened at an overlapping time. I fondly remember memorable, interesting and funny ads. It's like shittification happened on the quality of ad

One suggestion/theory I'd like to posit about this. There may be a third factor, and that is our "awareness" of what's in our mouth. After I eat food, I can't stand for any food that is lingering or stuck anywh

It's 100% so they can somehow correlate the data available in the adsense/adwords dashboards given to the site owners.

I've been to and grown up in a bunch of those African cities. As long as you don't go to dodgy areas you're perfectly fine, even dirt-poor areas are fine. Sure your houses are little mini fortifications and security is everyw

Icons inside programs too. Just this morning I got confused trying to un-mute myself inside Discord. Like at some point these braindead designers need to realize that an important part of "UX" is that users should easily be able t

I know everyone here mostly knows this, but in LCoL areas (South Africa for me specifically), that $20K almost buys you an entire house that you can live in in near-perpetuity. Not only that, but I could hire low-skilled labor for 7200 hour

Chrome is embedded in Android way more than people realize. It's at a level of what IE was with windows, probably way worse too depending on how you look at it.

Not OP. The problem is compounded by the fact that all the released financial and audit reports seem to "consolidate" the flow of money between the foundation (non-profit parent company) and the corporation (for-profit owned subsi

Maybe - but we all forget how google was the one that "pushed" javascript heavily, even if indirectly. At least that's how I remember it so many years later. So, convenient that they pushed something that half the web and bro

I agree, it's a tough decision and very few options. Me and my wife have been keeping an eye on it as we need a fallback if South Africa ever has a meltdown.

That's not unusual at all, and calling it "negative gearing" is just a way to target it as if it's some evil concept. Afaik, everywhere in the world taxes on businesses are applied to profits not revenue. Subtracting you

The positive way out of this is to slowly pull back regulations, one tiny bit at a time. Slowly enough so we can be comfortable and if it causes any bad effects we can correct in time. This should allow tensions to ease off and for everyone

I can't imagine ever living in such a place. Sounds like modern-day serfdom and I'd be moving out within a year, don't care where to.

I'm also very confused about the pricing. Its "open-source" but with SSO user-limits? Paid version comes with Prometheus metrics, so does that mean the open-source free tier doesn't? So many questions.

All this talk of a new venture and more money makes this smell highly fishy to me. Take this with a grain of salt, it's a random thought. It's created huge noise and hype and controversy, and shaken things up to make people "

Many people here have said something about the naming, and you keep repeating that it's "monkeypatch.py" in response as if it fixes it. Maybe take the advice and just rename it to something while it's still early. You&#x

I think we're partially mistaken about the true value and reason for lobbying existing as a concept. It's a cover that muddies the waters in discussion about laws, a coping mechanism for "The Other Side" and at the same

And youtube. YT shorts is essentially turning into TikTok. Short of whitelisting and pre-approving content I don't see how we can allow this to go on. This is quite frankly destroying peoples brains.

So in order to save the environment we plan on covering it with white sheets? Just because we don't want to tell Africa and China to stop burning and polluting and dumping it all in the rivers?

You've then been fortunate enough to have never worked at a place where something simple like a "join" requires a call to a separate service. Suddenly something trivial becomes buzzword-filled chaos. Observability, apm, monit

And the bindings to python exist because those languages are a pain in the ass to work with. I don't want to work with Fortran, C++, Cobol, etc. And I sure as hell don't want to figure out how to integrate such wildly different la

Prostitution happens over WA, SMS, plain old phone calls and everything under the sun. They don't seem to go after the communication channels, they go after the discovery mechanisms.
