What are the alternatives to Graphite these days? Github's stacked PR support is still immature, AFAIK. I would love to see Linear move into this space and start offering both git hosting and stacked PR management.
I cannot wait for a cultural shift away from respecting "authenticity" and "tradition" in food. It's fine to remember and recognize how things were often done. But the ridiculousness of saying New York style pizza is not pizza or that you have to make things the "right way" needs to go.
I'm assuming by tikka chicken you mean "chicken tikka masala"? Because chicken tikka is something my family made all the time growing up. I still make it at home often. That's mostly been with a charcoal grill and not a traditional tandoor, but like you said, most people don't have tandoors at home. That's restaurant food.
This completely ignores the shareholder value to the military industrial complex and the truth machine value of prediction markets from the not-insider traders.
I'm saying be skeptical of who you give your trust to. You're the one seemingly pushing to trust actors who have a proven track record of not being worthy of that trust.
What? This is something that's incredibly well documented at this point. Many VPN companies operate as arms of data broker and media companies or they resell data to them. Some of them didn't start out that way, but with the way acquisitions have played out, that's where we're at now. I replied in the parent comment if you're interested.
Using a VPN shifts your risk. Your local ISP can't see as much of your activity, but another company that probably has a business model of reselling your data to governments, intelligence agencies, and ad companies now can. If your concern is masking piracy, maybe that shift of risk is worthwhile, but you still want to avoid some of the more obvious bad actors[0]. You certainly should not have all your internet traffic going over a VPN all the time.
If you're at all worried about being targeted for political speech or you're part of a targeted group, then you need to be more careful. This map is a bit outdated, but it does give some insight on who to avoid [1].
Ironically, Mullvad is one of the more trustworthy VPNs out there and still the one I'd recommend.
When trying to upgrade from the Business Standard to Business Plus plan, Google will reduce your workspace storage from 2TB/user to 0 bytes for up to 24 hours while it upgrades you.
These are actual quotes from support:
> Upon checking, I see that the storage is showing as 0 bytes, because of the upgrade that has been done from business standard to business plus. Not to worry as this is very normal.
> I understand your concern and how important it is for the storage to be updated due to the business requirements.
>
> To give you full transparency into what is happening: when a Workspace subscription is upgraded, our backend systems must first detach your previous Business Standard storage allocation before provisioning the new Business Plus limits. During this transition window, the quota temporarily defaults to zero.
> Now please turn ON user storage limit nor shared drive storage limit. Once you turn ON, please wait for 5 minutes and then please turn it OFF.
^ That last attempt to try to force storage quotas to reset faster didn't work, btw. Still took hours.
Let me more clearly instead say that many successful startups knowingly and intentionally broke the law.
But I agree that Delve is a special case and should naturally be held to a higher standard here because their whole business is around being compliant with the law. When most other startups break the law, they do it to get an advantage over competition. Delve did it in a way that sacrificed their core value towards customers.
While I do think Delve and the leadership there should be held responsible, it's a bit weird to see YC and others take shots at them for breaking the law when so many of their prized unicorns achieved what they did by being willing to just ignore laws and deal with the consequences later.
Look into git reflog. If the changes were committed, it was almost certainly possible to still restore them, even if the commit is no longer in your branch.
This has its own risk factors. If your domain renewal lapses due to credit card expiry or something and you fail to notice, it's catastrophic. This is just not realistic advice for the average person.
