Free users should get time-budgets or group size limits or video resolution limits, not be spied on.

This is exactly what free users get when using zoom.

Up to 3 people in a meeting is unlimited. Over 3 is limited to 40ish minutes.

The Facebook pixel SDK etc etc stuff you're probably thinking of got removed from recently updated clients. Check out their privacy policy to have a look at the actual data they retain from actual meetings. it's fairly limited and only to do with account management / meeting management from what I recall.

This is horrific. The surveillance state has infiltrated ACLU. How is such a brazenly anti-liberty person tolerated at the ACLU?

Even if you take his perspective, why is child porn OK in the enterprise?! Especially after Jeffrey Epstein?!

The ACLU is not a singular entity with the same thought; it’s a collection of people, and people have different opinions on things.

I’m reminded of when the ACLU defended a white supremacist and many were upset, even to the point of leaving the ACLU.

Why would it cost 75% premium?

Have they deployed a demo? It's hard to talk about something that no one can see.

They have: https://github.com/seraphlabs-ca/SentenceMIM-demo It's far easier to reproduce than GPT-3 because you won't need a GPU farm, only a powerful one

This smells like a feature built 10+ years ago, before notifications existed in Mac OS X, that never got upgraded.

That's how apps "notified" back then.

Polite apps would just bounce their dock icon rather than stealing focus, however.

I wrote a SIMBL plugin at one point to neuter applications that did this too much (actually, I forked it from someone who wrote it for Spotify). Trying to grab my attention in a persistent, repetitive way for something that is minor drives me up the wall.

Also known as “Bouncing in the dock like a Jack Russell fucking Terrier” [0]

Exactly. I found the bouncing animation genius, as it always reminded me of a toddler impatiently jumping up and down for attention. Doesn't mail.app do this?

> mail.app

Mail.app and most other apps since 10.8 (?) introduced badges just use those, unless it’s a more urgent thing than “you have a new message” in which case, yes, it will bounce the dock icon.

Before the native notification system, there was this Growl thing that literally every single third-party app used. Apple apps, on the other hand...

I still miss Growl having logging history. Once in a while I need to check back on something.

I vaguely remember it having history, but the native system does have something similar in that panel you get by swiping with two fingers from the right edge of the trackpad, in "notifications" tab.

Why not just migrate the resources?

Spin up new instances, load data from snapshots, get back to work.

Migration on resources taking live traffic is not an easy thing. Before migrating the traffic over to a different end-point, the time and the engineering work to make sure the new endpoints works is money and cost. Also there could be statefull data in the original account and to do a live migration of data with new data coming in at X tps is absolutely hard work.

Probably because paying 5 figures to the account owner was cheaper, faster and safer than recreating the production env from scratch

Why do I need 30?

1 rack in a datacenter is plenty for a database backed web app with a million users.

That is going to be killer latency for people in other parts of the world.

In my case, I work for a CDN, so we need to have data centers all around the world.

IBM charged the customer for each server.

or, as with my experience in licensing IBM stuff, the charged per CPU.

I believe Oracle, IBM, and some others still charge per core/cpu for various products. It's a nice business model to be in if you have locked in customers.

Hell yeah they did. The analytics software cost more than the actual solution.

Is Time Machine or other backup tools affected too?
