People don't think it ain't possible. Just that it isn't common and there is a sexual tension in the end. And when you are in a relationship there are insecurities.

Your situation doesn't seem "normal".

> The friend sitting on my fifteen-year-old couch knows I’m not independently wealthy.

Oh, right, because FI is about spending a lot on new things constantly...

moribunda··on I hacked Google Maps to get somebody's number
"hacked"? More like "used"

Completely agree - "bars" of people weren't scaled to the same width, and analysing it in only one dimension feels manipulative.

World is not only US. BF is strong and in EU you have now MSRP laws not to scam on promotions.

Changing locale works fine for this in gdocs.
moribunda··on Google's PageRank patent has expired (2019)
I'm not sure if it's a joke or if he's for real... It's basically replacing google with "serach engine" where every place is bought.

Coming from SEO world this looks like a joke.

I'm not sure if you've read my comment.

I was replying to your: > Yes, it's incredibly complex. It doesn't have to be

It's not complex.

Manipulating csv has become way easier than it was.

You have: 1. Spreadsheets where you can import this data and manipulate it visually 2. CLI tools made especially to work on csv, with fancy colors, shortcuts, examples 3. Visual tools for data analysis like google data studio, power bi etc. Where you basically dragon drop the data and pick charts 4. RStudio where you can load your data using file->open and then copy some simple commands to work on it 5. No-code tools where you can copy paste the data and add functionality by clicking through tutorials 6. All kinds of online notebooks where you don't have to install pandas...

It has not became harder.

This thread for me looks like a narcissistic attention seeking rather than real process.

She could simply start learning on datacamp - i went back to it after many years and it's perfect. Low level of entry, "box where you write python code and it runs", you don't have to install pandas, but course will teach you to do it if you want.

She began this thread from saying that she started a few courses... Hard to believe. Or she didn't wanted to pay for it to get them at a professional (in educational terms) level.

She wants to analyze her data - cool, but seriously, it's like any ignorant person would say that they want to do anything that requires some expertise... I want to build a car, why it's so difficult?!?! Twitter help!

moribunda··on MarketRank: Anti-SEO Ranking Algorithm
exactly. this post is a kind of: let's make new google! i know how to do it better (while ignoring 1000 other factors outside of my bubble). Even if Dunning-Kruger effect is debunked, this case shows that people work this way.
moribunda··on Ask HN: GDPR pop-ups are getting so annying, what should we do about it?
You can use cookies with GDPR. Are you aware of split into 4 cookie categories? Is it surprising that people want some privacy and you can actually disagree to tracking?

Of course, people should be able to disable tracking more like: i don't want to be tracked by alphabet and Facebook, rather than turning it off for every website separately.

moribunda··on Moral injury can occur in many contexts and populations, including the workplace
Exit popups don't stop you. You simply get an extra offer. You can proceed to click (x) - it's not hidden etc.
moribunda··on Google Analytics Illegal in Austria; Other EU Member States Expected to Follow
Ok, only strong point is that there is user personal data - IP for example, but GA has a switch to anonymize IPs.

Also there is built-in option for cookie allowance in Google tag manager and Google ads.

This looks like an ad.
