> Ask the search engine Ecosia about “Paris to Prague” and flight booking websites dominate the results. Ecosia’s CEO Christian Kroll would prefer to present more train options, which he considers better for the environment. But because its results are licensed from Google and Microsoft’s Bing, Ecosia has little control over what’s shown. Kroll is ready for that to change.
While I think Google sucks right now and we need something new, this specific reason is so dumb. Unless I add the word "train" or "air" etc. I would much rather be shown either all options or the one that I care about most (if it's flying, then so be it - the search engine can't and shouldn't try to filter out options FOR me without my consent)
I truly do wish we have an open source / SaaS version of the bloomberg B-Unit[0].
I would easily pay $10/m for a "personal" version and I know companies that would pay 2x - 3x that for enterprise deployment. Although to an extent - it's redundant now that we have phones with biometric authentication.
I totally agree...It's crazy that they don't even offer a docker-compose file of sorts to being all their own tools together to demo the power of their own tools.
I recently wanted to see ELK in action...and it took me a few hours to set it all up and configure everything together with just basic docker and docker-compose. It really should not be that hard :/
and this trial can't be disabled (to use them for an unlimited amount of time) by someone by modifying your source because your license prohibits that? Am I correct in that assumption?
unrelated question to the server but related to Sourcegraph: Why did you guys switch away from the VS code style editor on the web to an uneditable one? I loved using it.
Why is this dupe? I posted the source. I noticed someone posted the twitter link after i posted but I (and hopefully others) rather read this than some (imo biased) opinionated article/tweet from blog/twitter/news agency.
If you accept cash -> banks have a fixed transaction fee (anywhere between $2 to $25 for any amount of money).
If you accept credit/debit/mobile -> there are atleast 2 transaction fees - one by the payment provider (generally % based) and one by your bank (fixed fee).
Really? I was recently looking for business accounts at the big 4, and I saw that after a minimum number free transactions, any transaction has a fee (cash or not).
I've experienced something similar at resturants in TO recently! Not only didn't they straight up refuse cash, they asked me download their app to pay for food.
Obviously I walked out and got lunch elsewhere, but later when I was told that they sell their own currency in the app for CAD in denominations of 5. But their food + tax, is never sold at that amount - meaning, if your lunch is $10, tax makes it $11.3, you have to pay $15 in the app. If you have no intention of coming back, you loose the rest. This is such a scam.
Also what's the problem with accepting cash? It's trackless and it's anonymous - I love it. Why should everything I buy be tracked by Banks, Corps and everyone in-between? Furthermore, unlike credit, there's are no fees associated with it so it's slightly better for the seller too.
Btw if this does not give you a worry, think about this: all your expenses always end up at companies like Equifax. If them already selling it does not scare you, a leak should. Imagine if your transaction history can be used to refuse employment, housing etc. (without letting you know that's the case). Cash does not have any of those issues.
The biggest 2 main issues with cash is - what if I get pickpocketed? and the solution is to never really walk around with more than $50-100. I've been using cash since I was a kid, and I've never gotten pickpocketed. The 2nd one is tracking your expenses - but I personally feel like using cash has made me spend a lot less than when I used my credit card.
I have neither, Why can't he call his fork Bitcoin Cash? He claims that it adheres to the Bitcoin.org idea than BTC.
Him & a vocal community (/r/btc) appears to believe in that. What gives BTC (and /r/bitcoin) the right to the name Bitcoin considering both are forks from the original chain?
At work I have 3 monitors (24" 1080p) for multitasking (one for comms - email, slack, jabber etc. and music, one for code and one for browser - docs and stuff).
At home, I have 2 monitors (27" 1080p) - one for code and another for browser. I've been considering replacing these 2 with a 34" curved monitor for a while (however, I don't see the expense justified right now).
I found those ads funny (I assumed they were not derived from customer data - just something made up for the sake of comedy).
That said I wanted to know the end-goal of those ads?
If it's going to make me convert or sign up - that does not look like it's going to happen (no CTA, no real driver etc.)
If the idea is to be on people's mind (informational) - I can see it being hip/fellow-kids' like (considering it's coming from a multi-million dollar corporate entity) - I don't see how it'll last longer than a few weeks at best (considering the amount they probably spent on it).
That said, I can see how it stands out from the crowd (creepy factor not outstanding).
I've tried to learn vim multiple times (mainly so i could have a cheap vm + mosh to use when i'm around). But I've yet to get used to vim coming from a sublime/vscode/intellij background. (I can use vim to do the mundane stuff, but developing stuff solely on vim appears slightly more difficult)
