If Elon somehow manages to eventually turn the perception of Twitter into a success, our (software) industry is fucked. If that happens, brace for a wave of asshat Musk-wannabe leaders that think treating employees like shit is the definition of success. Just like the wave of wannabe Steve...

A trick to get around that (assuming you're ok with only one instance of gmail & some creative filters to manage all of it): * Set up a single account with an alias of *@yourdomain.com * Within gmail for that account, add any number of alternate email addresses

For what it's worth, when you switch over to the paid plan (I just did this): The price from now until July 2022 is free The price from Jully 2022 to July 2023 is $3/user And then it finally bumps up to $6/user It's not a bad way of easing us into the paid plan, at least; and TBH $6/mo isn't...

Building and maintaining a browser is a HUGE undertaking. Especially when you're competing with the Chrome team—of which there are 100s of developers actively working on Chrome itself and related web technologies. They're also very active in pushing for new web tech and standards, which makes...

Sandpoint, ID - not Sandypoint

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter about SoftBank having effectively created ride sharing monopolies in most countries, all of which are invested in each other directly or indirectly.

Consider that almost none of our crops are naturally occurring. The land was cleared, crops were planted, insect/animal populations reacted to that out of necessity. The ecology is already fucked up, and it could be just as likely that those insects being killed off are causing harm

Kind of. Autonomous trucks will quickly take over the highway portions of drives—probably between transfer facilities. However, jobs from those points to specific shipper/receiver facilities will have plenty of work for a good deal longer. Drivers focused on long-haul will need to adapt, the...

It's really surprising that Google knew about the theft of files in the summer of 2016, but didn't act on it until December (when they got the forwarded email). It seems like they were giving Levandowski the benefit of the doubt. From the lawsuit's text: And:

From the text of the lawsuit: (emphasis mine) Maybe everyone on the project "needs to know"; but it does seem to imply that it may be more strict than that

Nah, they're about on par

As an ex-Amazon engineer, working on a team of largely ex-Amazon people, we have a little game: See how many days in a row we can go without badmouthing or being critical of Amazon's corporate culture. We usually last a day or two. However, I do not regret working there one bit. I learned an...

Race really shouldn't need to come into this. It should be an outrage no matter what skin color the people involved have.

Interestingly, it sounds like a lot of the concerns could be addressed in a patch: * Make the alien show up less frequently * ???

It's easy to deride it, but Twitch is a *huge* deal. It fits a role for gamers very similar to what ESPN does for sports fans. And games are rapidly increasing in popularity.

> Some characters like the lead boy, the overbearing mother, and the hipster lumberjack fall flat Interesting. The hipster lumberjack was my favorite character to interact with, and I found both main characters compelling and full.

I have had no problem whatsoever w/ the directions in Seattle and other urban areas; and I find the new app much more convenient to use with one exception: The lack of transit directions.

Even if http://kimosabe.net/test.html has good intentions (and it seems like he does), I hope you realize that his website has just become another potential vector for leaking even more UDIDs.

I think you're assuming that Rowling actually gave this the thumbs up; did she? (I had thought that the lending library is a way for Amazon to circumvent some publisher restrictions)
