This is a silly statement. Mozilla revised the terms almost a week ago after people complained: https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-techn...

Mutable Instruments did a great thing open sourcing their hardware and software. I own a couple of MI clones from Momo Modular. Eurorack is an incredible hobby.

Doesn't take much space, actually. Also, there's a tremendous satisfaction in getting away from a computer screen. Physically twisting knobs and plugging in wires. Building a rack. Collecting modules.

I find that hard to believe. I used the phrase "home coffee brewer stopped working" just now in Google and see nothing but troubleshooting articles and forums from the very first result onward.

If you put in an exact model then I suspect the results will be very different.

The other infuriating thing that's related is if you're trying to find a schematic or service manual, Google thinks you're just looking for the (often useless) user manual. Searching for the user manual does not make it think you're looking for the service manual... it's absolutely idiotic, because who would search for "service manual" but actually want a user manual? Beyond some weird conspiracy theory involving anti-right-to-repair, I can't explain why.

I don't even understand the thread-OP's complaint. Googling "bike forums" gives me pages of what they say they can't find.

So good.

Not a great analogy -- animal cruelty laws are far too lenient. For example, they exempt farm animals. In fact, there are laws against things that would reveal abuse of such animals - https://www.aspca.org/animal-protection/public-policy/what-a...

I am at lunch and on mobile so I can't get too detailed, but, with respect, I see a number of errors on your resume. You are simultaneously being too broad in your objective and too detailed in the body. It's not telling a coherent, targeted story. You can leave off "references available upon request" because that's assumed. You can just list your school instead of that you only got an associates degree. I would if I were you find a good recruiter and ask them how it reads. Make it more focused and scannable. I put a lot of work into my resume and personal branding on LinkedIn and it pays huge dividends.

What steps do you take for personal branding. I'm really bad with this networking, self selling stuff.

appreciated. I haven't polished the thing really in years its a bit rough.

This reads like someone's college freshman essay. It's just a recap of existing knowledge, with no concrete call to action.

I enjoyed the article. I do not believe every article needs to include a call to action. Describing the situation can lead others to come up with ideas for solutions.

I agree. It's a scattering of good (if not novel) observations about the issue, but there's just no through line connecting any of them.

The last paragraph is phrased as though it follows logically from the preceding one, when it seems to make pretty much the opposite point.

Wait until you hear about Buddhism -- that'll blow your mind!

> But for now this is a good start for creating a standard IM platform available for everyone to replace SMS.

Or it's just a bandaid on a hobbling, old protocol that we should move past. I think Google errs here in being too concerned about backwards compatibility. That there are so many alternatives (WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal) shows there's demand to move on from SMS. And Google of all companies should know how crappy it is to have to rely on carriers (look at the years-long Android updates debacle).

I hear what you're saying about standards being helpful on the Internet, but SMS is a shitty standard from 1984 that even then was built on compromises and hacks (basically fudging things by using an area of GSM that was never designed for messaging):

* "The GSM is optimized for telephony, since this was identified as its main application. The key idea for SMS was to use this telephone-optimized system, and to transport messages on the signalling paths needed to control the telephone traffic during periods when no signalling traffic existed. In this way, unused resources in the system could be used to transport messages at minimal cost. However, it was necessary to limit the length of the messages to 128 bytes" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS#Initial_concept
