Not to come to their defense, I don’t like most of what they do, but when you have multiple billion users, every “small change” you make or feature you add is a significant investment in planning, building, and testing.
Yes! The shuffle button! Every time I want to shuffle/unshuffle a playlist, it seemingly has to toggle through the smart shuffle bullshit first, which disables the button and shows a loading icon (which can be 5+ seconds on a mobile connection) while it finds awful songs to inject into my playlist.
One regret of mine was avoiding WeWorks while they were hyped up on VC money because I thought it was a stupid idea. Turns out I should have just drank the free beer and let them implode on their own
Hi Guys, I’ve been following Louis Rossman and Rich Rebuilds on YouTube. I love their videos , do you know other youtubers who make similar content and are also Funny ?
I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...
In 1933, amateur entomologist Oskar Scheibel added an unusual insect to his collection. The specimen turned out to be a previously unknown and rare blind cave beetle from Slovenia. The Austrian engineer named it Anophthalmus hitleri. The first word derived from the Greek for “without eyes,” the second from the leader of Nazi...
What’s the reasoning for this? Surely it’s not that difficult to block all traffic pointing to “vpn.protonvpn.com” (simplified url for the sake of argument)
Even if a VPN provider had 100 URLs to tunnel traffic through, they would all be found in a matter of time, no?

As someone who just built one of these, that is the exact reason we did it.
It would be cool if users just remembered which service they used to sign in, but they often don’t, so this is the next best thing. Tell us your email, we look up which service you used, then send you to that service to complete the login.
I appreciate that the AI is advanced enough (or your prompting is very good) to include not just 1 type, but 2 types of beans! What a time to be alive!
I understand that not everyone is fortunate to have money saved to be able to have the leeway to leave jobs whenever they feel like it and so forth. But I just feel like people have lost their sense of self-respect when it comes down to employment....
As someone who’s never been in a union job, what happens if your boss is just kind of a dick? Can you go to your union rep to handle it or is that outside the scope?
As someone who’s built a bunch of stuff in healthcare, it’s almost always miserable, but sometimes…very rarely…there are good docs and a well thought out API. It just makes me so happy to see people with pride in their work!
“The report states that witnesses inside the house saw Williams pour gasoline from a soda bottle onto clothes and the floor of the laundry room. Williams then lit Takis tortilla chips on fire and tossed them into the laundry room.”
1password does this, too and it’s magical. I’ve had my SMS go to my browser via Google Messages for a while, but it’s so much easier to just auto-fill it instead of copy/paste
I’m a huge fan of Adam Ragusea. He takes a science, history, and home-cook approach to everything which makes uniquely tasty yet simple recipes. He optimizes for the fewest dishes and simpler techniques that aren’t impossible for a home cook to do.
Something about the lighting makes it look like a rendering, very trippy.
Very cool to see, I was impressed when visiting Vancouver that they have so many rooftop gardens, it makes total sense to use the otherwise wasted space
Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.
Funnily enough, I think watching “The Last of Us” made me understand what these people were afraid of.
Personally, my mind doesn’t go in that direction when I see the government doing something, but I guess for some people that is their first thought. They think that when you’re temporarily not allowed to congregate in public, it’s a slippery slope into a permanent lockdown state.
