I'm not against all those cameras, nor am I rejecting evolution. I just think that traditional mirrors are doing the job well enough for this to be a question now.

I've never driven one without regular mirrors, which is the point here. I'm not saying that it's not a nice extra to have, but it shouldn't replace anything.

I feel that this is an odd way to deal with the problem. What about trying to fight age-based discrimination, among many other types of discrimination all-together? That's what they should be trying to change, not coming up with yet another way to easily commit frauds in so many different fields.

My only question is: why? I mean, those are going to be so much more expensive to produce, less reliable and harder to replace. There are some upsides regarding overall visibility, but I think that it's one of those cases in which the ups don't make up for the downs.

I'm surprised this doesn't happen way more often with many other pages. But we were all warned not to take Wikipedia as a single source of credible information. If bold statements or dubious information is not properly linked to credible sources (and even then...), don't take it as 100% true.

It sounded sketchy from the moment they asked for a pin code that they sent to your phone. It's easier to talk from the outside, but that should always be a red flag. What exactly would they be confirming by sending a PIN to the same number they were already contacting?

But that's a great heads up. Phishing is not just about obviously fake e-mails to hotmail accounts.

There are proved benefits of using PWAs in specific situations, but it's not near the wonderland that companies like Google are making it seem.

I believe that they have secured a place in mobile development and are very worth considering at this point, but it's very soon to say they're a good solution for everyone.

I just can't trust it when an instrumental song by a band that I can't find anywhere else kicks in. I'm not saying that Discover Weekly can't provide you great artists that you don't know, but I can't trust it. It leaves me with the sense that I've been tricked and I'd rather avoid it all together.

They are not making money from Discover Weekly, but they make money from made-up artists, since they don't have to pay anyone to have that music up there. It's easy to do the math from there.

The work they have in making a few artists up is nothing compared to what they would have to pay for an actual artist to have their albuns there.

This is why I refuse to play the Discover Weekly playlist. I strongly believe that Spotify is getting money out of made up artists, with songs put up by algorithms in some way, and that's the best way to get them to you.

Regarding the 'hacking', it never happened to me, but it's easy to see how troublesome that may be. But that's what we get for trusting an application that promises to get us free music forever. It had to have drawbacks, eventually.

Isn't it possible to rig Glassdoor by using multiple accounts? It may be harder to achieve in huge corporations, but for small companies, it's way too easy to make the bad reviews seem meaningless.

In any case, it's easy to spot when a review isn't honest, good or bad. They often seem scripted, pointing out some bad aspects that aren't really bad, and highlighting the same upsides over and over again.

It's just a question of filtering those and getting to what really matters. As for the companies that are forcing employers to write good reviews... how can they be sure of which review was done by who? Can't they just give a bad review instead when asked? I can see that backfiring really quick.

This was such as nice read. Being the same age, I also feel the same way about arcade games, and more than that, the physical arcade machines. I can't, however, seem to get the same satisfaction from watching or even playing the games on emulators or in their console versions. It's about all the environment in which the Arcades were involved in that we can't replicate now in any other way.

Exactly. It's not that I don't see value in online alternatives, but in this case, if the main point is to access it offline, I don't see how different it is from a physical journal.

It looks really great and I find it to be very fresh, but my main concern is... what happened the the real offline alternatives?

Except for the way in which you write and access JournalBook, how is it different from a real journal that we can carry everywhere?

I believe that it was the OP intention to do that trip mostly for the experience. It doesn't make sense to ask why not take a train or any other transport instead.

In any case, it just deepens my fear of electric cars. It surely looks expensive (almost as much as gas cars), there are very few superchargers in Europe (where I live there's only 3-4, and very badly placed) and the autonomy doesn't seem to be that great. Maybe I just have to wait for better autonomy and more recharge stations...

Netflix is already collecting a profile of every user based on what he chooses to watch. If users only watches violent series and movies, they will only get more violence in their recommendations.

Black Mirror isn't giving Netflix anything that they don't already have, but I agree that we should be worried with the overall scenario. The problem is that we aren't.

What happened with Facebook should have changed the way in which we see those big corporations that regularly register personal and behavioural data, but it didn't. Most still use Facebook, and they don't care.

It'll take much more for us to really worry.

A lot of processes, overall, are called Agile just for the sake of marketing. But concerning the way in which they operate, would you say that Waterfall is still the most used method nowadays (just masked as Agile most of the times)?

I don't think that Agile is always about being more risky. Sure, Waterfall is a safe way to go in most projects, but what about the possible losses in costs and effort that may come from it? However, I do get your point regarding safety for the client itself, that don't want to risk shipping an "unfinished" product.

I sure could use this 25 years ago to impress the whole school... However, I hardly can see how some of them get to fly straight, but I think that it's a question of trying it out myself.

It's somewhat similar to what happens in design. Trends come and go and anyone who is seeking a new design at any given time will want what's mainstream at that time. It's not exactly the same that's happening with Rails and JS, as here the difference also concerns the quality of the end product, but it follows the same logic.

The main point behind it is assuring that the best frameworks are being used. It's both relevant for both sides of any project.

I imagined just a bit of possibilities that this would enable and found it to be very scary. While this is a dream that most of us have, I think that it opens doors that are better sealed tight.

It's a very cool concept and definitely has its upsides, but I was a bit disappointed about not being able to choose walking distances or periods of less than 1 hour. Also, the distances in my city (Lisbon) were somewhat unrealistic. Dunno if it works better in larger cities.

Totally agree, I can't even see why they would want to play that clip upfront anyway. If I stop at a series and I'm reading the description, this will only make me want to jump right next to another title.

Raising unemployment, one robot at a time.

"There will not be enough humans to make the deliveries. We need more and more robots to fill this gap in manpower. And to reduce costs" = "We need more and more robots (...) to reduce costs"

Potentially rigged elections. Now that's new.

I don't think that anyone but "your boss" would say yes to this.
