Fair enough, I recognize when I'm not welcome.

I attempted to delete my posts and my account for you but there does not appear to be such facilities.

Not aimed at you, but the other commenters on your comment.

There is no such thing as unskilled labor. Put a fucking normie from the street into any of these 'unskilled' jobs and find out just how many skills are needed just to do something like customer service.

Looking down on those people is what will lead to another internal conflict. They'll be the ones you depend on when society goes to shit.

The only thing we must do in this world is die. Everything else is up for debate.

A lot of restaurants place a limit on the size of the container you're allowed to use, and there's a cultural expectation that you won't loiter just to fill more soda. Assuming you bought food and are continuing to buy food, the unlimited soda is more of a hook to keep you there and has clearly outlined terms. Your bladder will also give way before your stomach does.

Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Google employees hang out here and try to deliberately influence comments. Same for the other companies.

> Nothing in life is unlimited and taking such a promise at face value appears to me as being willfully naive.

What are your thoughts on false advertising? What part of "unlimited" in the advertisement should be allowed, if the resource itself is not unlimited?

You're right, and it's paradoxical. Companies with poor customer service should be taking hits in the stock market and in the public eye, but Comcast is still around...

The guy in TFA should be a warning to others: you cannot trust other machines to handle your data responsibly. They'll turn on you and demand a ransom when it's convenient. Self-host, and own your infrastructure.

What kinda connection do you have where you're able to transfer 200 TB of data in 7 days?

Did you even do the math before that tripe escaped your fingers?

I make it a point to downvote people who think they are tone moderators. You could have submitted it yourself if you found it first.

I don't see how it's less of a concern that he has 200+ TB of video. Perhaps don't advertise a limited resource as unlimited; then you won't get people like this guy.

He deserves the ability to get the data off his account. Google acting like their hands are tied are simply being malicious.

Interestingly, were it trademarked you wouldn't have this snarky attitude about how a name doesn't matter unless people care about it. I'm not talking on other forums right now either, so who cares about outside of HN while talking on HN?

Good point. Government talks big about regulation and how much they care, but when examined, look! They bend right over for business.

I don't work in the field so I can't say for certain, but AWS and friends really strike me as the type of tech you need to deploy at scale in order for their complexity to be worth the initial up-front learning cost.

Try to think of a project that either needs infra like that to get started, or another one you can deploy in a homelab or a few VPSes or something.

Maybe VMs are a good idea, to give yourself a good place to test things without committing bare metal to anything.

What software system architecture interests you? The scale you're interested in may matter, too. For me, system architecture means which distro (and which set of packages), configs, and other settings that create a cohesive server/client or groupware system. I think a lot of those challenges lay mostly in understanding how computers are being used within a given organization, and designing things in ways that make adapting easier and workflows smoother.

What that looks like, I would imagine is different for every organization.

I'd like to know why the name of this AI product coincides with the alternative in-between-HTTP-and-Gopher Gemini protocol.

I'm sure it's just an accident.

Forget about it dude, the other guy's just trolling and hiding his criteria for 'real threat' so he can act like nobody's good enough.

I guess it's representative of the demographics here. Nobody capable of conducting themselves honestly.

> I think if your prior includes "trusting others is a moral and character weakness" then I don't think it's useful for us to discuss this topic further.

I agree, if you can't justify trust with reason then it's hard to trust your argument that relies on trust. Trust can be broken, and your stance doesn't address that concern.

Arbitration almost always favors the company, why else would they push for arbitration instead of respecting your rights?

That's your defense? You asked for actual risks and when shown real, plausible ones recede into XKCD quotes. Clearly just a spoiler.

This is disgusting. You want people knowing the maladies they got treated, and how?

There's the old saying of knowledge being power. If you want this information about people being spread, then you're advocating having power over these people over that information.

It takes very little imagination to see how humans would misuse this data.

Why do you think people are entitled to have genome data on you? The morality is flipped. Privacy is recognized as a core, natural right. Others have to prove their onus for wanting your biological data. Trusting others is a moral and character weakness, because you have no guarantees as to how that data will be used. Or more specifically, what new ways to analyze and take advantage of that data will become.

I think actuaries will care an awful lot about this data and could use it to negatively influence your risk factor, and thus insurance premiums.

> The government is supposed to represent the interests of citizens.

I'm not sure that's ever happened in this country. They pay all sorts of lip service, but when challenged or under pressure, the US makes a lot of excuses for leaving its own people behind.

Thankfully we can repay that favor and see how they like it when there's nobody left to defend them.

I'm getting to a point where I automatically assume any business is both taking my money and trying to totally fuck other parts of my life behind my back to make more money.

If capitalism is so great why is it so incompatible with being a good and honest person?

The heuristics used were not sufficient to properly determine the capabilities of the hardware it was running on. Makers can fix this problem by giving users choices.

People like you need to learn that saying things you disagree with does not mean we're stupid or didn't read something. Maybe try understanding someone instead of being a dick. I doubt you have much to contribute to a tech conversation anyway.

Is there not a legal term for government using business to do end-runs around citizen rights? Collusion?

Part of my interest is also getting better at Lua, and it seems to excel in embedded contexts like making small 2D games. So maybe Love2D will still be good for that, and maybe the statically linking story is better now. My eventual goal is similar to yours -- I want to ship a game with a single binary per platform that players don't have to get confused about. Completing a game at all would be good enough, but I want to do it right!

Kind of ironic for the 'social widgets' one considering RSS is pull-only.

Bro, what cost in maintaining? Maybe if you're building like it's the '90s and doing it by hand.

The static site generator I use (Pelican) can produce templated RSS feeds that are exactly to my liking. If I can use that off-the-shelf stuff for a small blog, then it's trivial to put together a template and plug in database data on relevant events. Could even just run a cronjob that tracks the site daily and forget about it, most people would not care.

This stuff was cash money. Firefox's RSS and Atom support used to be amazing, especially with extensions.

Isn't it possible to simply check when the request to the RSS feed is made? It won't tell you which posts the user read, or even if the user read them at the time of the request (I'm thinking caches), but it could at least tie IP or some other drive-by info to a rough idea of readership.

Google, you helped kill widespread RSS adoption to begin with. You can't be trusted with anything technology.

I wrote "consider", not "you are without a doubt at fault here". Learn how to read.
