Again I think you're right that it won't help sway peoples thoughts on the subject _alone_ but in aggregate if all the rhetoric from one side became harder to target by the opposing pundits then maybe that would help at least slow

One day it was returning only German results for me despite my region being set to US and language to English. Every search, didn't matter what the keywords were. I was in my office (my geoIP was still US) where dozens, maybe hundreds,

Probably not but I think GPs point is that if the rhetoric of the article was different and better data included then stuff like this would be harder to tear up and dismiss. This happens on both sides on all issues.

> The regular users I know don't even know what syncing is, what the cloud is, what integration is. And that's fine! That's exactly my point, this stuff should have a low barrier to entry so that all users can enjoy these

I've never heard of these complaints? This sounds much more like typical Linux Desktop issues in my mind. Though at this point Windows 10 constantly loses windows on monitors that no longer exist...sometimes even the password prompt on

I don't think there's even an argument that it can compete when it comes to integrations with mobile, other in-home devices, and other peoples data/devices. Yeah it's an issue that there are basically two walled gardens

If we're trading anecdotes about a really specific subset of users here, I know a bunch of "retired people" who also almost exclusively do email, but you know they also like things to be easy, intuitive, familiar, functional

Ehhhh... I don't know if it's the marketing doing its job or what but sifting through DDG and startpage meta pages I just get a better feeling from DDG. It's a little more modern, seems a little more transparent, I like the t

I also switched my personal phone from ~8 years of android to the iPhone after getting an iPhone 6s for work. What a wake up call. > I still use the google bang over 80% of the time, but hopefully that goes down over time I've been

What do you think of choices like aggregating GPS tracks from Apple Maps to augment their map data like Google but with the key difference of removing the start and end points client side? Really going for the "we want the capability w

Incredible technical work mechanically, electronically, photographically. Amazing artistic talent and personal drive. 3:19 and 4:22 remind me a lot of a tumblr page with animations like these. It's exciting how trippy they are. His dir

Seems to me like that's more of a new defining feature of OSM, which may incidentally attract more contributors, but that in and of itself is not lowering the barrier to entry for prospective contributors.

I'm excited about this direction! I do minor contributions and poking around my area I'm surprised by how much of it is done by very few people. How useful it is yet how lacking it is. There's a neighboring town that is absur

This looks great! Coworkers don't work in the shell at all though so there's that, but I might use it at times. They're lookin for that syntax highlighted and interactive experience you know.

Are you imparting trust on checksums downloaded from the same source page? Not implying you are but there is plenty of software where that is how they expect users to verify the integrity of the download. Useful for checking bit errors, but

Rather unfortunate that "putty.org" is the first result in searches and looks a lot more legit than "chiark.greenend.org.uk" even if it (currently) links there. I've had discussions with coworkers on why they should

Yeah this is what I was getting at. How many old cheapo security cameras have no or bad IR filters if that was still the standard for ~2012 flagship Android devices...

The pool of respondents are Digital Ocean customers? I'm assuming that would exclude employees of FAANG plus basically all really large "enterprise" businesses. Is that fair to assume? If that is fair, I wonder how biased the

Don't a lot of image sensors pick up infrared? I don't have any IR remotes to test modern stuff with, but I know my Galaxy S5 and every phone and point and shoot camera I had before that would register the light from IR remotes. I

How does he square that with the inundation of Netfix originals on the home page? HBO has a handful of quality shows. Neflix has a plethora of random titles, many of which (especially those created at Netflix and not acquired) are really no

I'm not a Snapchat user but doesn't that app, at least on Android, alert senders when a receiver takes a screenshot? You can still take a picture with a second device and that functionality isn't totally portable, but interes

When large populations can't figure out really basic UI navigation do you expect everyone to understand security? Our operating systems should protect us more from this kind of stuff.

I watched a couple of hours of it myself and saw moments like the "senator, we run ads" moment happen. A lot of the things the media was running off about was taken well out of context. That moment, for example, was not nearly as

Ah that's pretty encouraging. I see an $809 model right now from 2015 with 8GB/128GB which is all I need for my current day-to-day. I'm not even sure how iOS development works yet, but you think the <2 GHz processor is fin
