Can GlassDoor visualize a company's score over time, including the amount of removed reviews to highlight when companies try and improve their score by getting reviews removed?

Discarding inactive tabs is not what I use The Great Suspender for. I use it to... suspend tabs. Auto Tab Discard doesn't seem to do that.

I'm not discounting that this was an annoying ordeal for this channel to go through, but if this is so easy, why don't professional criminals go after huge channels and take them down as easily?

There might be some subscriber count threshold or partner status that, once crossed, flags extra steps that mean a new violation is escalated for a closer look first?

Yup. Looks like the system is working pretty well. Plus I'm pretty happy that I've got an explanation for the email I got!

Interesting. I noticed that the blog post mentions the Nymaim malware family. I read about Susam's case when it hit Twitter the other day and might have even followed a link to his URL. Then a few days later got an email from my ISP Virgin Media claiming they'd detected Nymain on my home network.

I run macOS only and as far as I can tell Nymaim is Windows only. Still, I ran an malware scan on my Macbooks and nothing popped up, so I'm pretty sure nothing infected my devices.

Still, I wonder if I ended up hitting the sinkhole, Virgin was somehow notified and this triggered their email? Or maybe it's just a complete coincidence.

Edit: Sure looks like Virgin works with Shadowserver: https://www.ukfast.co.uk/it-security-news/virgin-media-to-in...

You can exit a code block by hitting Command Option Shift C. I found this out by hovering over the code block icon in the bar below the editor box.

The trick seems to be to add a blank final line, otherwise, it will not include the last line you typed in a code block.

Why Monday? Was there A/B testing done to find the best day to ask?

Here's the real question: Did the kid think he was being persistent and that eventually he'd be able to play his games again, or did he think guessing the password _was_ the game?

Must have been an A/B test or something else specific to my setup. Saw it on google.co.uk in Chrome in the source.

Google search results. Great way to see which results are popular, and still allow users to copy links straight from the search results.

If I read the article correctly, this wasn't about building a new 'Google campus' (i.e. a huge building to house a large number of Google employees as their main regional HQ). This was about building Campus Berlin, an incubator for startups like they pioneered first in London and then brought to other cities.

See https://www.campus.co/berlin/de and https://www.campus.co/london/en.

It's easy to misunderstand this because of what the term 'campus' is typically associated with. I live in London, and when I say 'I'm going to Google's Campus', I often need to qualify that I'm not going to their main office complex at King's Cross.

There may still be very valid reasons to protest Google in Berlin, but I wonder if the people objecting understood the distinction: that this wasn't a hub for all of Google's employees, but rather a place that would help diversify the tech ecosystem in Berlin and give them access to facilities and other resources.

The kind of smaller startups that would be home at a Campus style incubator would not be fueling high paid Google salaries and would be a lot less likely to drive up rents e.g..

I really wish YouTube brought categories/collections back.

I also can't get this to work. Or figure out what it's supposed to do.

Also, wow:

  However, Facebook’s formal guidance is 24 to 48 posts per day.

Facebook recommends 24-48 posts PER DAY? Surely this is an error. Where is this recommended? That's insane.
