I think this idea is incredible. I really hope Anonymous (or some other hacking group with western values) uses their power to embed this video in sites that everyday Russians use often (banking portals, entertainment pages, etc).

That's the beauty of hosting this on github. You can just look at the active forks and find a better list.

Though, it'd be nice if Github forks could all come together and vote on a new "primary" when the source repo gets abandoned.

sorting forks by stars would be a great feature to have built-in


Plus one for this. Especially for older code libraries.


They should completely switch machine vendors and/or just blend the ice cream with the toppings (a la Dairy Queen).

Even when McFlurries come out perfectly, they taste horrible.


McDonalds franchisees are required to purchase specific equipment, and required to use Taylor for servicing and repairs. The reason this is now on the Fed's radar is because there is strong support that McDonalds corporate is colluding with Taylor to continue this process and promote a system that makes them both money at the cost of the franchisee.


Exercise - let a mcflurry stand for while. It separates into the gelatine and other stuff. Looks horrible.

I never had another one after I saw this.


From the Github: "What you will need: An Apple Developer Program account".

That means you can easily be banned for abusing their wallet apis, and they'll probably also take down your other apps on that account.


Ah, of course. Thanks for clarifying.


Thanks, this puts it better.


Seems like an unfortunate decision. Opt-in would have been the more respectable move here.


Maybe, but, depending on how it's implemented, these profiles might technically be "public" but not indexed by Google or have easily guessed URLs. In any case, it seems like the only information this would leak beyond what would be on a LinkedIn profile is the fact that you've taken a TripleByte assessment and done well. That seems pretty innocuous.


No, the profiles have other information too, like what geographical regions you want to work in, what kind of job you’re looking for, etc. This could give away information to one’s employer that they might have preferred to keep quiet. I predict that a nonzero number of people will be harmed, embarrassed or at least inconvenienced by this.


Counterpoint: they may not display everything you see when you log in to TripleByte. You're complaining about something that hasn't happened to anyone and may not happen at all. This time next week, you may have a valid argument, but not yet.


I’d much rather know that now, rather than waiting until after it’s already happened to find out whether or not it’s a privacy violation.


Have you tried asking?


I don’t think I should need to. If a company is going to unexpectedly publish information about me on short notice, the onus is on them to consider the implications and explain what they’re doing.


Okay, so, you're concerned about a potential privacy violation, but won't take steps to find out if there is one to begin with? I don't have a lot of sympathy for that position. Go and fill your TripleByte profile with misinformation if it suits you, I suppose.

Edit: I missed that there's a privacy setting to make the profiles non-searchable. So, I guess you care enough to complain on the internet, but not enough to even ask if there's a privacy violation? Seems like there's a name for that.


Just saw your edit. My emphasis continues to be on unexpected and short notice, with an added obscure (notice that you missed it too) and opt-out. I should not need to be prepared to jump at a moment’s notice any time someone decides they want to “accelerate [their] mission.” (And I am going to opt out—or, more likely, delete my account altogether—but that doesn’t mean I can’t also complain on the Internet.)

The whole point is that they shouldn't have to ask...


There is very obviously something wrong at this point; reading Ammon’s responses to this thread has been enough to tell me that. I’m not sure what you expect me to do for anyone else; I can tell my Congressperson that I advocate for GDPR-like legislation, but since I didn’t accept the job offer I got from Triplebyte it’s not like I can change their site to turn this launch off for everyone else.

(I’m also baffled by your comment about virtue signaling. I’m publicly stating my opinion, yes, and given the number of upvotes I’m getting there seem to be people who agree with me; but my primary goal is not some sort of social signalling, but to respond to you in order to clarify my stance on the situation.)


China and the USA are leading up to one.


Evidence against?


A bubbly, insane market would jump on this "before it's too late!". What we are seeing here is a market reaction that says "we reject your insane valuation, cut it in half.".


However, there's always a new generation of developers who will inevitably make the same mistake that you (and I) did.


Totally agree, it's gotten out of hand. We have too many people with too little to do. And too much money to pay them to do useless things. So they come up with more programs.
