I love the box design of iPhone 12/13 mini, otherwise would have gone for this!

What, why? Running out of money or cost-cutting?

It's because they don't know or even understand what customer or customer service is, they automated pretty much everything and made sure on humans are involved. This is to drive profits and grow in scale and cut people/cost.

They use to be the standard for great software products (like gmail), not anymore all their products now suck, full of bugs and barely useable (pretty much reminds me of microsoft 10 yrs ago)

After Eric schmidt in the reigns, they've become one of most profit minded and evil companies of all.

This company needs a reboot with good leadership!

I like him for his entrepreneurship and big bold bets.

However related to Twitter, looking what's happening since his first tweet, this was the plan all along. Come up with an excuse to get out of the deal. Just he was trying to cash in all the marketing he can like always.

I don't think its going to work the way he thinks in this case, its atleast going to cost him $1b

JIRA is the definition of building everything for everybody and let them customize it, it's got complex and to a point highly productive engineers don't want it anymore, it's a OVERKILL!

A great way to visualize the complexity of OpenSSL

Like others mentioned FFMPEG is even complex :-)

That's the driving force behind these connected cars. They'll make you pay for the car and collect all the data they could and make the money off it.

Compare it to google, they're valuable because of the data that's being stored about every individual, imagine the same thing for Tesla.

Data is currency

Good work, This will be a great tool for designers and non-dev's who don't know or don't like to start from command line!

Just add live push/reload, you're good to go!

Like other commenters, there are a million ways to run a web server nowadays npm, python, ruby, etc

kringo — Fri, 03 Jun 2022 01:00:46 +0000

That's awesome, finally they get it!

All credit goes to Tesla.

Buying a car with option to customize, same fair price everyone pays and ordering online without talking to anyone is the way to go!!!

New comment by kringo in "I was blackmailed – any YouTuber could be next (2020)"

kringo — Thu, 26 May 2022 23:24:52 +0000

Use of bots to flag and block content is getting from bad to worse.

We had a YouTube video that we manually recorded and uploaded. Some random guy no way related to it claimed copyright without any proof and YT immediate removed from listing.

The appeal process is so complicated and probably have to deal with another bot, it was not worth the process so we just ignored.

What i've learned is, if anybody want to blackmail or jealous of your channel, all they have to do is submit a request and your video will be out with an endless and almost impossible appeal process.

BEWARE: Until they clamp down and delete the files, you lose your data.

Good technical experiment though!

That's because most of the people got online via mobile phone. It only grew significantly faster due to Covid and Indian market flooded with cheap smartphones made locally as well as from China.

When did you see they promote mini? It's always the PRO since high margin is only there.

What's astounding is, how they didn't adapt to new demands or pivot?

Got comfortable or outdate?

Great initiative. Wondering why can't Google make this a priority and make it fast instead of focus on desktop and other device support.

Do they know that a ton of devs are not jumping in because of this one simple issue and sticking to other frameworks?
