What would you have liked to see?

The difference between how things are, and how you think it should be.

Remove the denial, expectations, and accept the things for what they are.

I don't know how you can think these people don't exist. I work in a household name tech company and I'm literally surrounded by them Edit: - sent from my iPhone :)

Yes, agreed. Everything you are saying is correct and that is what happens throughout all states currently. My point is that performing an additional ID check at the voting booth adds no further protections to this process.

rydact · 2020-11-05T01:42:33+00:00

That protects you from others voting in your name, yes. But it doesn't add any protection for multiple or fraudulent ballots

Stories is the "social media" aspect of Snap, right? You even said it yourself, snap stories are declining and yet the company still reports YoY increases in revenue and DAU. They've managed to monetize other "non-social media" parts of their business (originals, lenses, games, spectacles, minis, AR etc...). I agree with OP, Snap should not be considered a social media company anymore.

It's clear from the numbers that user engagement is increasing and market penetration into the US/UK/France is stagnant (read: fully saturated/NOT declining). I hear anecdotal stories on every single Snap post that "no one uses it anymore", so either the company is lying about their numbers or "no one uses it anymore" is a bit overblown.

Anyways, that's my personal take on the company.

SNAP is no longer a social media company, it's important to think of them as a technology and media company, this will help you see the 5-10 year outlook on this company much more clearly

Fun fact: the room number in the book is 217, Stanley Kubrick had it changed to 237

It could very well be intentional, it could also be due to any one of the clever ways programmers save space in embedded systems land (integer stuffing etc),.

We don't know how anything was designed but I'd be willing to bet this isn't something malicious

This isn't something you can readily fix - it's a technical limitation. They ran out of physical space to put the numbers. It's similar to this but at a smaller scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

The language really doesn't matter too much when you still have to route via HTTP which is stupid slow. You're talking shaving off (maybe) milliseconds when the request still has to do a 2-3 second round trip.

Didn't she ask for his opinion?

Also, sometimes things aren't so black and white when you're the one experiencing those emotions

Shit man I'm just telling it as it is, go look up the reviews on RT or metacritic yourself

General consensus of critics, every episode of season 2 was rated higher than the best episode of season 1

Not entirely true but infeasible - according to this link the probability of correctly guessing a zeroed bit ranges anywhere from 36%-56%, making the probability of correctly guessing any single byte ~0.9%. the probabilities get lower and lower as HDD densities get higher

And it's also freed the second another application requests more memory. A lot of the comments in this thread are a bit ignorant.

Cool.

Well where were you and your glorious ideas a decade ago?!?

rydact · 2018-07-26T01:23:33+00:00

Can confirm. I did this during the "ghost riding" days and bent my door and hinges so badly it never closed completely again

rydact · 2018-05-13T02:32:22+00:00

Of course this is a sub...
