It would be fun down the line to hear "Wait, Amazon used to sell physical things like this??"


What do you think is a happy medium between the technical buyer and the financial buyer if not a demo?

My company is having trouble with this right now, in that we built a tool for the users with some higher level features managers would like, but it's still 3 ranks below the person purchasing the software. Even pitching it as a cost savings, they reply with "oh, my teams don't have trouble with that so we're not wasting money on it" then someone lower usually cuts in and says "well, we've been having trouble with it recently..."


> Our goal has always been to provide the world with the best weather information possible

Sounds like they gave up on their goal or changed the definition of "the world" to 13% [1] of smartphone users.

I always loved Dark Sky as an Android user, guess I'll find something else.

Seems like many corporations, executives, politicians are blatantly contradicting themselves in the past few weeks


This article [1] says they announced it today.

I'm excited to see the fallout on this decision.

The actual source is the Transparency report [0] from yesterday:

> When we expanded our quarantine policy, we created an appeals process for sanctioned communities. One of the goals was to “force subscribers to reconsider their behavior and incentivize moderators to make changes.” While the policy attempted to hold moderators more accountable for enforcing healthier rules and norms, it didn’t address the role that each member plays in the health of their community.

> Today, we’re making an update to address this gap: Users who consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities will receive automated warnings, followed by further consequences like a temporary or permanent suspension. We hope this will encourage healthier behavior across these communities.

Seems like their justification matches my guess in the parent post.

What would the fallout be? The collapse of quarantined communities? The policy only applies to individuals that consistently upvote policy-breaking[1] content within quarantined communities which is pretty clearly qualified. Those individuals will also receive a warning(s?) prior to being banned. Seems like a pretty fair policy all around seeing that upvoting is a conscious choice.

Actually just ran into this [1] today. Not production ready, but you could hack something together with it. It was even trained on Wikipedia articles.

In theory, yes. I was working on doing this (for internal data) at a large healthcare system some time ago.

The de-id part was actually really easy since DICOM is a very standardized format and this hospital system had good practices in place to only input certain information about each patient.


And they'll keep pumping that same techno in 5 years when they want people to get Gen 2 electric cars


I wonder if there's a way to modify Android Auto/Apple Car Play for passenger viewing. That way you can use all the applications on your phone but in your car. Do email in the back of a taxi/airport limo on a big screen or watch a Youtube video with 1 tap.


My XPS 15 (9550) has treated me very very well for the past 4 years! Ubuntu works straight out of the box and the battery life is wonderful. The super slim bezels keep it looking modern looking, too, if you care about things like that. I do somewhat wish I waited a year to get the fingerprint reader, though (not sure if it would work on Ubuntu).


I used Shotcut to get me through my film certificate (video essay class, short film class, etc.) and it was difficult to work with. Random freezes and crashes left me very frustrated.

I switched to Flowblade [1] and it was so much better for my needs. I could do basic color correction without crashes and editing audio is much more powerful. All in all a better program (for my simple needs).
