Does google allow you to preauthorize your purchasing card? It seems like part of this is that they all of the sudden get suspicious about your billing information.


Checks one from the 90's:

> This Site Is Under Construction and Coming Soon.

I won't hold my breath!


> Great developers, more often than not, get bored. If they have any sort of intellectual curiosity, they will leave.

This is a good point. When you're skilled and have a good network, there's no point in putting up with a bad manager or an uninteresting or underpaid role.


I think it’s a lot more complicated than your oversimplification. For example, where does a quid-pro-quo relationship fit into your categories?

Saying leaked out of “ego” is equivalent to saying it was leaked “because”. We know it was something internal to the leaker’s psyche, but research should help us understand what led up to that point and how it could have been avoided.

For example, would you say a gossiper gossips because of “ego”?


A gossiper gossips to raise their status; having inside information (and revealing it) shows that they are more knowledgable than the person they gossip to.


> raising $660 million from approximately 32,000 people.

Honestly where is this money coming from? Is there just that much money sloshing around in the world chasing after these harebrained ideas?

No, it's probably based off market cap. Let's say I generate 100B tokens. I happen to con you into buying one for $0.01. Boom, the price of my token is $0.01 per coin, and I have 99,999,999,999 of them at a market cap of $1B. Only $0.01 of actual value has been exchanged, but I can now "exit scam" with $1B in supposed value.

In reality, they probably had a few million, maybe tens of millions at most. $660M is a ridiculous number, probably only achieved by factoring their stupid coin's market cap in.


At the same time, my life is more peaceful now knowing they’re operational.


At the same time, people in the armed forces are probably sick of hearing "GOOD JAB!" and getting slapped on the back while their countrymen do nothing to prevent the need for the means of war.


It is chronically low in the Bay Area.


Me too. I recently went to YouTube to see examples of a specific type of stone fruit grafting and was not disappointed. So many great examples for such a niche thing.


Instructional content from passionate hobbyists is where YT shines, I think. My recommendations are full of great content from niche channels, plus some music videos.


Trust is earned. Many of us (myself included) feel that 1Password has earned that trust. Don’t let us down :-)


Hard to sympathize with an owner of two Tesla’s complaining his/her pericular edge case is being overlooked. The vast amount of people will be covered with WiFi. The rest of the Teslii owners can buy a cheap WiFi hotspot for a month.


> Hard to sympathize with an owner of two Tesla’s complaining his/her pericular edge case is being overlooked.

It's not a peculiar edge case; the Tesla rep explicitly notes in the reaponse it's an issue that Tesla has heard about from many owners.


Anyone with on-street parking which isn’t outside their house, or on-street parking but outside an old house with thick walls, also qualifies as this “edge case”. That’s pretty much most of central London and I suspect many other European cities.
