The recommendations from this are surprisingly good.


Upload, download, latency, and how many options to choose from are what I looked for the last time I bought a house.

I actually asked some of the neighbors about it and called local ISPs.


Email being so cheap and easy is is a significant component of spam, which is a technical problem to a degree. Spam on Signal, text message, voicemail, Discord, etc… is significantly less present for various reasons (cost, complexity, etc…)


:sigh: speaking of getting into the mud pit...

The other side of that balance is that capitalism creating artificial incentives for bad behavior is a significant component of spam.


But that itself is just a special-case of the principal-agent problem.


Being cheap and easy is not a problem, quite the contrary. That we as a society make this a good thing for spam is a problem, but I don't want to make the system shittier just because of the bad use of it.


My work email is virtually useless at this point due to the absurd quantities of spam I receive. I think the OP suggestions would actually make email less shitty.

Any communication medium that is cheap and easy will be relentlessly abused by spammers.


I’ve rented Teslas from Turo three times and the experience was seamless and delightful. The car was dropped off and picked up from my house and everything just worked. Phone keys, supercharger access, full charge when dropped off (basically).

I think the traditional rental places are just incompetent or under investing.


Predicting the future is literally a core upper management job duty. It was fairly obvious and should’ve been assumed that interest rates would eventually rise.


Isn’t over-hiring a form of management incompetence?

Money was too cheap, tech companies are now slapped with larger debt servicing costs and a less captive audience. Growth focused and delusion forecasting done by companies weren’t grounded in reality or pragmatism. This led to things like over-hiring.


> Isn’t over-hiring a form of management incompetence?

I agree, but that's basically exactly what I said. Haha. Perhaps you meant to reply to another comment?


Just seems like bad practice for them to not scream test this first. Disable the databases for 48 hours, enable them for a week, then delete them. That would give people the same alerts as randomly deleting it but allow them to gracefully recover.


Yeah, why not go with at least a soft deletion first? Allow people to transfer to a paid Dyno for up to a month after the change happens or something.


Didn't us-east-2 have an issue last week?


I would assume the USAF conducts regular training missions, which this easily could've been counted as one of.


Congrats! I've used codeship for awhile now. Was sad to see the live chat/help go.


Hey there, live chat is still available on some of the pages. Could you let me know where you're missing it?

That said, we try to get most support requests via https://helpdesk.codeship.com (or the widget shown in app), since complex technical problems are usually not that easy to resolve using a live chat tool.
