Wow, this is a great workaround then to the author's issue.

Funny enough you have Brex as a client!

Just came here to check this, thanks.

Agreed, website loading here, still no whatsapp though.

Phew, it's not just me. Beyond me why more of these big tech companies can't build more redundancies for their services.

This is so heartbreaking, my heart stopped when reading this email. I was a HUGE fan of SQL Saturdays and I became a great pro with Power BI/SQL thanks to SQL Saturday and the outstanding network PASS provided...

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with something this administration is doing...

Came on here just to check on it. Thanks for the heads up.

This seems to further fortify Microsoft's position as having the best data platform of all the cloud providers. Others agree?

So true. So many of these apps need to do some basic math and not "try and make it up with volume" if their gross margin is negative...

Amazon makes life so hard for their suppliers it doesn't even surprise me. I once shipped a box of 10 laptops to sell on FBA (retail value ~$10k) and UPS showed the box as delivered, Amazon checked in the units and showed them available for sale on the website. Then 24 hours later all of them got removed saying I sent the inaccurate quantity in the box and none where now available for sale. The laptops disappeared and I had to do an insurance claim with UPS. Amazon's support was horrible and made me never want to sell with them again. Lots of stories like mine on the Amazon subreddit.

This is a real shame, wish they would continue to support their Android App, it's my go to for weather.

HN is making me wish I studied astronomy, such cool stuff.

Your doorbell is ringing, I would answer it. It’s the police, with a warrant.

Good read, so many people forget the problems of plain vanilla js as they knock all the new frameworks out there.

Surprised this impacts Whatsapp as well which seemed to store everything encrypted on your device...

Holy shit. This impacts nearly everything.

You truly would need a totally cashless economy, Bitcoin would skyrocket if negative rates became the normal. Credit cards would beg you to carry a balance.

Once again HN proves to be the best status monitor.

That's what we do. Have a summary file and a detail file and they need to match.

Yeah I mean a machine like that should be able to run web apps with no problems...

My boycott of the Macbook "Pro" will continue until they add additional I/O ports (including HDMI and standard USB ports) and until they add a num pad (a big reason I've stuck with Windows over the years).

I work in the enterprise payments space that functions on ftp transfers of xml, edi and text files and it's not necessarily a bad thing, just as long as it works. Much easier to troubleshoot why you got bad data if you have a ftp to look at with a daily xml file that gets posted.

There needs to be more accountability for Bitcoin, solve btc and you solve a lot of these hacks...

Great perspective, but I think a service like Apple News would run into a PR nightmare if they blocked NYT articles.. Probably bring up 1st amendment issues as well.

I mean with all this publicity they will probably be switching providers or sending in a complaint to Sedgewick, but they aren't micromanaging carpal tunnel workers comp claims that make up 1/100000th of their revenue.

Former Workers Comp claim examiner here.

Every Workers' compensation insurance company hires private investigators to make sure the person is really injured and not working another job while collecting. Sounds like the private investigative company overstepped their bounds by physically assaulting the worker, but otherwise this is SOP.

Worth noting - Amazon has nothing to do with this. They simply pay premiums for Sedgewick to administer the claims. The employer typically doesn't tell the insurer to go after the workers, since in this case it is Sedgewick who's footing the bill.

Agreed, which is why I really love camel camel camel. Makes me a much more informed consumer. I wish they had other sites that they tracked.

All with 1970s technology, simply amazing stuff.

I really hope the politicians in the US champion a GDPR law here. Unfortunately I'm not optimistic.
