It's different in America
Yes. Not sure how it makes his argument weaker. There is a weak sense of community in US sports fans, where it is well understood that sports teams are first and foremost a commercial enterprise.
It is perceived differently in Europe where fans are attached to the team fo r other reasons and want to limit the commercial impact in the sport, probably for some of the reasons explained by the author.
So funny to read this for me. I made a pretty good living for myself leveraging MediaRecorder. And "pretty good" is an understatement.
Someone's garbage is someone'else gold....
ROI of RFPs... It is so depressing for me to spend time on an RFP that I won't do it unless I am 100% convinced the RFP was written for me, because I know the account/people.
It's not just the time spent on it, it's the feeling of powerlessness and wasting time you could be spending on something much more fulfilling.
So much more fun to say "no, I won't bid" after a few emails, with little work behind it.
That's exactly what the author says. He does not give advice. He just give a laundry list of facts for his business.
The only advice is to not sweat over things you don't do. Do you suggest one should?
As a business owner, it resonates with me.
Then he probably is the biggest shareholder now. Based on public data Vanguard and Morgan Stanley were the biggest with about 8.5% each.
Each time I gain weight, it's indeed a LOT easier for me to skip some meals and get back to where I want to be, rather than eating less or better.
Just 1 data point confirming the parent post.
Is this true?
1- If I count page views on my site, no consent necessary.
2- If I count sessions on my site, no consent necessary.
3- If I count page views per sessions on my site, is consent necessary?
4- If I count return visits on my site, consent necessary?
5- if I remember what people bought on my site, consent necessary?
Related to 3 and 4, how long is a reasonable cookie expiration?
6- Am I looking at this issue the right way?
Thx.
From the article:
"a no-complain challenge [...] The goal is to make it 21 days without having move the wrist."
As in 21 days without complaining.
Sports teams. Many admit failures collectively. Not always for sure, depending on the circumstances, but it happens very frequently. Small group though.
Fifty-two piles will be drilled along the north and west sides of the tower all the way down to bedrock.
If the bedrock is now supporting a significant share of the building, does it make it more or less able to cope with earthquakes?
I just find it important to think in worst-case scenarios for various reasons
That's the key point. I think about the worst-case scenario as well, it is important. But as long as it does not kill me or leaves me with lifetime super negative impact, I am not spending too much time on it, because it is an inefficient use of my time and brain bandwidth.
The reason is that statistically things turn out fine, usually not perfect but 99.9% not worst case. And most of worse case scenarios are avoided _not_ because _I_ considered and avoided them. Differently said, even if you start with 5 potential really bad outcomes, after a short while 2 or 3 become irrelevant anyway because circumstances.
Being ready for the lucky and positive upside is more efficient in the long run in my experience, and much more pleasant along the way.
It feels like a superpower to me to be positive when I look at all these sad and negative people who don't even realize how much _they_ are hurting themselves, not the circumstances around them.
If you are interested in Lafayette and eager to travel, I suggest you visit the beautiful town of Le Puy-en-Velay in the Massif Central where his statue is proudly erected. Off the beaten path for most, but rewarding for the others.
Then go to tiny village Chavaniac where you'll visit the castle he lived in for a while, that carries his name.
Yes but the article also says:
"Part of the two-year case was settled just last week—days after news of the company’s CSAM technology became public."
And
"On Monday, Corellium announced a $15,000 grant for a program it is specifically promoting as a way to look at iPhones under a microscope and hold Apple accountable. On Tuesday, Apple filed an appeal continuing the lawsuit."
If anyone has any details about those QuotaExceededError firing when users have plenty of disk space and really not much data on the domain... I am working mostly with Chrome.
I see this as a very US centric view. I remember ecological issues were huge in Germany as early as the 80s. The pandemic has been well managed by a number of countries across the globe.
Especially about global warming, it is not a specie problem. It is possible to fix, and some countries / groups of people are better than others at it.
When photography appeared, it made a lot painters obsolete... It forced many to rethink their skills beyond reproducing faithfully nature.
That's the nature of progress and art.
What if it was a purposeful Streisand effect, if we would assume there is not such thing as bad publicity.
I bully a lone open source dev, everybody get fired up, I go front page HN, maybe as the bad guy, but now people hear about me, and total sign-up increase.
Would be devilish, maybe would work?
Betting on rowing
It is harder and harder for US persons to put their money abroad. All foreign banks must declare US Persons to the US authorities.
I am sure some figure out ways, but you have to go in dodgier places.
This is a new development is the last 10-20 years, so there is progress. It should help people trust the system is getting fairer.
If one is against taxes, and uses lack of enforcement as a reason, I smell dishonesty.
This essay resonates a lot. I have currently a crazy new idea. I feel I am a domain expert. I am working really hard on it and have good feedback from non tech people in the domain.
Still, so many non experts dismiss my ideas and prototypes. Without asking Why, How, etc. And feeling good about themselves, tapping themselves in the back for "helping me make my ideas better".
I am not talking about other domain experts, those criticisms are super interesting. But being a computer dev and/or being smart in your domain does not make you a domain expert in my domain.
The ratio of supportive people vs incompetent critics is astounding. Even as I have one successful company behind me already. The lonely reference at the end feels right.
Make sure your face is well lit
To do this, make sure you have your window in front of you, and certainly not behind you (backlighting is awful)
If you are on a call at night, or in a dark place, make sure your laptop screen is not your main source of light: if someone shows a red slide, you will look red.
Yes, the math does not look good. I remember dreaming about a house that could go up and down like this. Then I went to buy a AAA battery... same. That said, if they can manage to find that 1km shaft in an old mine like they hope, and put some crazy amount of weight and make it work, that would be impressive and cool.
It would not improve soccer in my opinion. Sometimes the ref needs to not whistle a hand ball. It is a judgment call. And sometimes referees need to whistle an attempt at hand ball. To help with the spirit of the game. Good luck with AI being good at that.
I remember chasing down history of acid music online and discovering Charanjit Singh who created Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat in 1982:
If you did not need to pay when you need healthcare, if education was free with equal opportunity, and everybody had enough to eat and a half decent place to live, I would entertain discussing this.
You could have this today in the US, it exists elsewhere. Yes, it would probably cost a bit more for the wealthiest people.
Until then, I believe we should not try to justify inequality based on irrealistic theoretical arguments. I see just a ploy to preserve the current situation by people in a good situation.
Because inequality and poverty is all too real. It hurts real people, unfairly. In the US. And it could change.
I hope this success will help put Bordeaux, FR, on the world map for tech and video game dev, in addition to wine.
Yes, I understand the caching part. If Gmail proactively loads/cache the unique pixel before users open the email, then the email reporting is garbage. If they wait for the person to open the email, it is very interesting (even if repeat are not tracked).
Does Gmail download by default, whether you open the email or not?
I am very impressed with what you did, and thank you for sharing the back stories about dealing with manufacturers and the real life pains of troubleshooting customers.
This is real, tough entrepreneurship, and I am very surprised by the number of implied criticisms about how not perfect your product, price, positioning...
The number of issues you solved already, the fact you have a happy installed based is impressive. Further iterations will make it even better, feels like you've done the hardest part.... Congrats.
If Gandi folks read this: I am curious to read your post-mortem analysis on this.
I was seriously thinking about bringing some domains back to LiveDNS. I am thinking that after this, you may even be a little better at your job. Transparency is key here for me, even if you messed up.
