The IT guy who set up that backup deserves a hell of a bonus.

A lot of people would have been happy with their multi region resiliency and stopped there.

There were several months with people complaining their data was getting deleted and Google just ignored the whole thing until it blew up on hacker news.

The most surprising thing here is they got in contact with a human in Google cloud to resolve the issue.

This means absolutely nothing.

How much of their advertising revenue comes from the US. They have shopping, I’ll bet the US buys the most.

China already has livestream shopping, it’s still relatively novel in the US. Bytedance has to compete with other local competitors in China, hating a nice external source of revenue in the US fuelling these Chinese battle is a huge boon.

I know the article says loss making app, but I bet a lot of money goes back to R&D creating the loss. They pay massive sums to get merchants to sell on their app for example.

I don’t think you need to post your address like the old days, I would never notice nor care about such an omission.

I do always look at job history, and I don’t out a lot of stock in the skills section because most of the time people lie or exaggerate there.

Yes, that’s what I’ve learned.

Everything is just about lowest cost and least effort.

Like Twitter, nobody I knew left, despite it being free to do so. Same for Facebook, Reddit, WhatsApp, etc. Each scandal nobody seems to do anything.

I expected people to so watching ad supported Netflix, but it has seen huge growth and is their highest profit source.

I’m disappointed because I know I’m going to get ads everywhere no matter what now, and it’s on every electronic device, which need “secure boot” and whatever else so you can’t circumvent the ads. .

I fully do not expect Roku to face any consequences except more sales, sadly.

☹️

You know, this a good thing. Now nobody else can do it, so I just need to never buy a Roku.

I’m the product of two failures with histories of depression, so I just feel like every ounce of joy costs a pound of numbness. No exploitation or too much joy needed.

Are you sure it isn’t the kitty sticker?

I wish the intended had more deranged shit like this or the time cube

Sometimes it becomes clear a company is trying to do too much when these problems manifest.

I’d love a programming language where every statement must be a haiku but every word has to be a dictionary word.

You could integrate an llm into the compiler to ensure they’re all grammatically correct

People often ask how to exit vim, but nobody ever asks why you would want to do that.

If it helps Blender is basically 3D vim, so if you can master vim you will gain an understanding of how to use blender.

I plan to shed my limbs before then and transform into a lizard.

Voles know this. Voles avoid onions.

Yeah that’s weird

If it were pre discount that last product wouldn’t change, and post discount these changes don’t make any sense.

Is there an additional shipping cost that’s bumping up the prices the exact amount as the discounts?

That looks like the per unit price, not the savings from subscribing.

Edit: I’m an idiot, I see what you mean.

When you add another item they double your discounts capped at %15
