For instance, Google kneecapped the Fitbit Versa 4 and Sense 2 by removing features like Google Assistant and third-party apps like Spotify and Starbucks. As a result, any longtime Fitbit user would be âupgradingâ to products with fewer smart features than their predecessors â unless they chose to buy a Pixel Watch instead. And the decision to remove legacy Fitbit social features without offering an alternative threatens to chip away at one of Fitbitâs greatest strengths: its community.
And that was the problem. At the time, the Web was rapidly becoming more social, and Flickr was at the forefront of that movement. It was all about groups and comments and identifying people as contacts, friends or family. To Yahoo, it was just a fucking database.
All they’re trying to do is figure out how to make money off it. Fuck the people that came up with the devices, fuck the community built on those devices. To googke, fitbit is just a fucking database of lots of some of the most intimate and personal data they have: Their bodies themselves.
Sexual harassment as a rule is terrible. The #MeToo campaign on social media was heartbreaking, as I watched nearly all the women I knew bravely lay out their stories, or simply admit that it had happened to them. But when sexual harassment and assault happens in the military, itâs incredibly disturbing. See, in the military, we all joined up to serve in an organization where implicit trust in those around us is key for survival. Trust is built through continued training and operations as well as day-to-day interaction. In the Army, we have seven key values, and most support the growth of trust amongst fellow Soldiers; especially integrity.
âThis is the beginning of the end,â Yoo said last week. âItâs already just a midsize business in San Antonio. This is not a company thatâs on a trajectory of growth. Theyâre on a trajectory of death. It will not be around.â
I work at a small datacenter. We’re⊠having some issues with customer retention and customer acquisition cos everyone wants that cloud hotness, even if they’re going to pay through the nose for it. What are we to do??? If Rackspace, one of the first names you think of when you need colocation, what is a small datacenter business in Minnesota to do?
A lot of people keep saying to avoid the cloud and whatnot, but then they end up going with aws, google cloud, or azure. That’s not putting your money where your mouth is.
If they get hacked, you get hacked. Thisisproven. All of these platforms, in their efforts to make it easy to get onboarded make it super easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot with insecure defaults.
Right now they’re making money, sure⊠But what happens when they don’t? Looking at you, google. But the others aren’t that much better. Do your part and support small and local businesses that can, and will, lend you their expertise.
One day in the pavilion at Karakorum he [Genghis Kahn] asked an officer of the Mongol guard what, in all the world, could bring the greatest happiness.âThe open steppe, a clear day, and a swift horse under you,â responded the officer after a little thought, âand a falcon on your wrist to start up hares.ââNay,â responded the Kahn, âto crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feetâto take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best.â
hilarious how on voyager they have this whole dramatic episode about how thereâs a murderer on board and on ds9 itâs like âoh yeah i got my pants fixed by this guy whoâs killed thirty people :]â
youâre telling me this guy doesnât kill people for fun
Killing people for fun and having fun while you are killing people is a subtle but distinct difference.
Remember to always work people who have fun at their jobs and enjoy doing them.

oh damn! 48tb of storage? I’ve worked at two storage companies, but neither of them had raffle prices that good
Hi! We’re introducing Important Blue Internet Checkmarks here on Tumblr. They’re a steal at $7.99âthat’s cheaper than some other places, when you consider that you get not one but TWO checkmarks for your blog on web only (for now). Why, you ask? Why not? Nothing matters! ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
We’ve been both. We’ve been a barista, we’ve been a bartender.
And being a barista is far, far worse than being a bartender.
As a bartender people will come up to you and try to behave their best, hoping they will be able to get faster service.
As a barista we will deal with whatever bartender wrought. And all baristas will try to make the experience palatable, to that person who just left the clutches of a bartender, hours ago.
