Well, yes. This is like saying you're screwed if you pull a perfect bank heist and then spraypaint on the wall "My name is jrdn and I robbed this bank. My social security number is 123-45-6789 and I live at 123 Elm St."
Tor should still do a just fine job of protecting your anonymity if you don't, you know, shout out who you are.
Seconding this, NewsBlur has for me been everything good about Google Reader, and more. You can reshare blog posts on your own "blog" to even non-Newsblur users, which is a really cool feature. It's pretty much its own social network based around blog post sharing. Totally into it.
I have always wanted to do this, but my group is in open plan space and I think the noise would be a bit much. Maybe one day I can find some more people who'd like this and we can snag an office.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that it's not just that you don't see ads; it's also that others don't see ads on your photos. The latter can be an important feature for those who use Flickr to create professional portfolios.
The original pro account removed ads while browsing the site, Not from your pages as viewed by others. Plus a lot of the time your Photos are submitted to groups, would adds be removed every time one of your pictures turned up on the page?
Pretty sure it is not a business feature to show a clean page but a viewer option for distraction free viewing.
Anecdotally, I think it is the case that if you're a Pro user, and someone else is viewing your photostream, then they won't see ads next to your photo. This probably doesn't apply to your photos in other groups, etc. So we both may be right.
But surely they don't make $49 per user per year on ads? It looks like they're over-charging on the paid accounts to cover the costs of the free accounts. Especially the 1TB is free, 2TB is $500 deal.
And it seems that after proving people will happily pay for premium features, they've now sent an email to all their customers which essentially says unless you have over 1TB of photos with us (which is pretty-much no-one), you may as well cancel and use the free account instead.
It seems like a very bizarre structure to me and I can't see people subscribing to it which is a shame as IMHO they've just vastly improved what was already by far the best product in its market.
I used to hand write notes, or use emacs org-mode. I now believe that my notes are in many cases substituting for poor procedures or documentation. As such I've given up entirely keeping my own notes and instead I fix the procedures or documentation.
I mean, fundamentally notes are things that are sufficiently important to know that you write them down for future reference. If you need it written down, then others probably do too, in which case the fact that it's in my notebook is useless to them. Therefore I even put my "personal" notes into my own page on the wiki so at least they're searchable. Usually they stay there until I find or create a better place to incorporate it into the rest of the docs.
I second this. A lot of times in the past I might put down notes on "run this command to get this result" or "don't forget that this library is over here". I made the incorrect assumption that this was obvious to others and not just to me.
I had so many professors that just read me the powerpoints. I would literally miss nothing from the lecture if I just downloaded the slides after every class, but no, attendance was mandatory. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that I'm still paying off an education I could've gotten most of by reading a few pages of bullet points every week.
Yup. It's also really kinda entertaining how offended founders get when you ask for more money instead when you're employee #53 and they offer a number of options but refuse to disclose what % of the pool that is.
In a small company, if I can't see the cap table- then I don't want to talk about shares. No investor would touch a deal if they didn't have access to it, and I'm investing my time.
