Making promises.
When my child would ask to do something or desire something I might have said, "Not today but I promise in the future ...". Often I would never follow up on those.
Now, I am more inclined to say, "I will do my best to make that happen" or something along those lines but no promises.
Does everyone just buy in that this is just a network change gone wrong? OR could they be mitigating a breach/hack? OR could it be some other theory?
You know Prosus will get all their money back and then some . time to build a new one [thinking face...]
As I "favorite" this thread, so I can reference it later to learn how to remember better ;)
"Inch is a sinch, yard is hard"
"When normal sense makes good sense, seek no other sense."
.. and there was a time to not build for good??
It will be interesting to see what other types of new technology (good & bad) emerge from this.
Such as: New rfid (or image) spoofing tech, etc.
-or-
Stories "Just walk out" store forgot to activate rfid tags on some product and customers walked out w/ (x) number of items for free.
This will be interesting to see how it plays out.

A week after paying off Sprint for my iPhone 7 it stopped working, "No Service". I happen to know a repair man at Sprint so I took the phone in and he asked "Did you just pay this off?" which I replied "Yes". He sighed and said this happens all the time only when he sent the phone off to Apple to have it repaired they responded that the phone couldn't be repaired and now Sprint says I have to...

The "metaverse" . Where you can be what you want people to see w/o others knowing what you are. #highfidelity
Does anyone know how you could go about installing your own regulator at your house on your gas line?
Would it even be able to mitigate something like this?
Curious..
> At what point do we collectively decide, you know what, this is ridiculous.
I would say things are at that point. So move to a different city. Success != The Valley
I could see using this for fraud detection and then kick off a 2FA flow if it couldn't verify.
However, most biometrics aren't the best single line of verification. You still have to add a backup verification of some kind.
Examples, I was working on my car all weekend and my hands have new calluses on them and my finger print is off. I got a new keyboard and my typing pattern is different, etc.
GitLab has taken a good amount of funding. Which means they will sell out eventually and the ones concerned about big brother taking over will be right back in this discussion again.

Some type of crowd funded federation needs to be created and owned by all of us if we truly want out from under this type of concern.
Right click and publish to Azure. For the win!!
If you were to take a random room of people. Reset all of their incomes to square one. In a few years the same people that were rich to start would emerge "rich" again.
Some people are willing to be disciplined and motivated to change. While others talk without the walk.
I did something similar to this in my startup days, it was called "FORMS". This is where you take a particular focus for each day of the week.
- Monday: Finances
- Tuesday: Operations
- Wednesday: Research & Development
- Thursday: Marketing
- Friday: Sales
This allowed me to focus ON the business vs. IN the business.

Out of curiosity, which insurance did you end up going with?
Instead of a basic income, why not make the first $1,000 each month of taxes owed exempt.
Crowd source this problem. Add a report fake account option. If so many (x) number of different IP address, etc. report it, sandbox that account. Simple.
Ideally, the cubbie would work like a PostOffice drop box and have a way to insert packages at will with out a code and then the owner has a key to unlock the cubbie.
I don't understand why it was so difficult for officers to find a Uber driver? Why didn't they just stand outside a bar at 2am?
I would definitely like the idea of being able to add a private channel whenever I wanted one. Something like #{myusername}-private-{whatever} and then I could approve or add users to the channel
So add "veets", video tweets
What about adding some kind of market place on their platform?
So in essence you end up with the #channels being filtered by third parties? How would those third parties get noticed. Would Twitter offer them some kind of sub domain or special alias?
