It is a terrible thing going to the movie theater and not even being able to watch the movie you paid for. That's the ONE THING you need to get right, if you run a movie theater. Also, in a lot of situations where tech goes wrong, even normally intelligent non-technicians can solve issues given the proper resources. Sometimes a troubleshooting checklist is all you need.
Most of us in tech have not only seen this future, we have coded and design it. Systems with little or no human interaction so when things go terribly wrong, there is no course of action that people can take to solve their problems. It's probably going to get worse with mediocre AI working on huge data sets, "don't blame our product issues on us, it was the AI that caused it... and we have no idea what the hell is was thinking.".
ccTLDs like .ru kinda make sense being slower on a global scale because they mainly target a national audience, but a lot of the worst offenders are gTLDs where your audience can be anywhere on the planet.
Do you really understand your customers' needs? Because they probably have TONS of really good reasons why they would like to remain with MS instead of migrating their entire infrastructure to AWS.
I just delete all todos (articles, news, tweets, etc) that are a few months old and that I haven't engaged with. If it's important and good enough, I will find the resource again. Most often, however, I have stopped caring and don't even bother with a follow-up.
So true. Even on hosting that fully supports let's encrypt thru an web based admin like cpanel or directadmin, the process can be confusing and error prone.
Because it means losing control over their brand. Who knows what some random youtuber will do, who they are, etc. It's just not worth all the legal headache.
You start when they are 4 or 5 years old. No, I'm being serious here: that's the age at which most kids are using tablets and phones regularly. That's the age you need to start having conversations about the dangers of the Internet and how your kids should protect themselves. And just like teaching any other skill, you start with the absolute basics and build stepping stones.
Brandless makes no sense to me. They mostly buy from China and their products are more expensive than they should be (their product descriptions don't offer any arguments why, at least). They claim to be health and environmentally-conscious but there's no relevant information to read on the product pages.
Super niche forums have existed for this need for many years and cover everything from multi-tools and flashlights to makeup and perfume. It's just that they require more effort to use and many are disappearing due to social media.
It's the HN echo chamber at work that finds little value in social networks targeting non-devs. I don't use LinkedIn myself but know lots that do and most do find work and opportunities through it, otherwise they wouldn't bother using it.
Apple doesn't own people. If employees want to change employer, they are free to do so. Apple of course knows this, so it tries to terrorize current and future employees into submission.
If you take a look at this online Swedish grocery store where I searched for pasta [0], you can see the price for each product but also the cost per kg ("jmf pris"):
Or maybe a way to quickly tell a product's total environmental impact over its life cycle including post usage? Maybe even have that information available as an comparable index so you can easily compare similar products? Here in Sweden, many grocery stores display the product price per measurement unit, making it easier to understand, for example, how much your pasta is costing per kg across different brands.
